Just like that, the five old men of the Zhong Family were taken away by the government officers under everyone's watchful eyes.
After the officers left, the villagers in the courtyard started buzzing with chatter.
"What the heck happened? Wasn't this matter settled privately? Why did the government still come?"
"Someone died on the mountain, so the government will definitely seal it off."
"Isn't the Zhong Family losing their silver and having their people arrested?"
"What bad luck."
"Who could argue with that? The Zhong Family's truly finished this time."
"Now we're done for too. The mountain's sealed, no more quarrying, we're out of work."
"Someone died; who would dare work on the mountain now?"
"..."
"..."
Hearing the villagers gossiping in the courtyard, Xiaoxiao's mother exploded and shouted, "Go, go, go, leave now. There's no spectacle to see at our Zhong Family."
