After sending Xiaoxiao back, Zhong Lihui gathered his brothers and returned to Stone Mountain to handle the situation on-site.
When the family saw Xiaoxiao had returned, they couldn't help but ask her questions. Xiaoxiao stuck to her story, assuring them there was definitely a solution, she just hadn't figured it all out yet, and asked them not to worry. The family, hearing this, no longer pressed Xiaoxiao for answers.
That day, Xiaoxiao wasn't just staying at home; she took the child out for a walk and indirectly learned about the villagers' opinions.
Mostly, it was because someone had died on the mountain, making them afraid to go up there.
Previously, working on the mountain felt convenient since it was close to home, and the pay was similar to elsewhere, making it more worthwhile to stay at home.
But now, with the mountain being dangerous, going out to work elsewhere seemed the same.
