"Secondly, Mrs. Zheng's pigs are just regular ones. Why would these merchants travel all the way to our remote village to buy pigs? It's because our pigs are different from those raised by others, isn't it?"
"So, if Mrs. Zheng sells regular pigs under our name, what will happen when those merchants find out? Will they spare Mrs. Zheng? Therefore, don't worry; Mrs. Zheng is digging her own grave!"
