The scholar leading the group had just arrived at the entrance of the Song Family Courtyard, raised his hand, but hadn't had a chance to knock when the courtyard door whooshed open.
Old Granny Wu and Madam Gu led the way out and faced the scholars head-on.
Old Granny Wu was holding a broom, visibly impatient: "What are you doing? What are you doing, crowding around my door? What do you want?"
The scholar originally held a righteous demeanor.
But righteousness aside, with a broom almost hitting his face, he had no choice but to retreat two steps.
Adjusting his stance, he said, "How rude of you, old woman! We are here demanding an explanation for these wives and children. You don't invite us in, rather come out holding a broom? What is this supposed to mean?"
