Nanzhi glanced at him; this person had moved here with them and seemed to be of good character.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tan Jiu said angrily.
Qin Zhou: "The Nan family's house is about to collapse, and you, who live in an adobe house, are fighting with them for wood. Aren't you ashamed? I'm ashamed for you."
Suddenly, the winds of change in the crowd shifted.
The onlookers were too busy eating melons to notice the family's house.
Looking at it now, I can't help but blush with embarrassment.
Only a few beams remained of the house, and the thatch on top had fallen off and rotted.
You can even smell the decay.
"So that's how it is. This thatched hut is uninhabitable, yet the Tan family still lives here."
"She's just someone who likes to take advantage of small things."
,,,,,,
Tan Jiu was known in his village for his greed for small gains.
No matter where there's a rumor, she always goes to try and take advantage of the situation.

They had just studied the Central Law a few days ago, and both Nan Chunxian and Nan Chungu were very familiar with it.
“I know, I know,” Nan Chungu answered quickly, “trespassing on someone else’s property is punishable by twenty strokes of the cane according to the laws of our Great Central Court.”
Nan Chunxian: "Those who rob others of their property shall be imprisoned for at least six months."
I've disliked this old man for a long time. If the yamen runners arrest him, wouldn't everyone be happy?
Nan Chungu volunteered, "Big sister, I'll have Uncle Niu take me to the county government right away and accuse him of theft."
Upon hearing this, Tan Jiu scrambled to his feet.
