"What... what is it..." Mrs. Zhang evasively avoided her nephew's gaze.
Zhang Yang's cousin looked at his aunt fixedly, let out a meaningful chuckle, and said, "Aunt, we treat you like family, but you think we're fools..."
Before Mrs. Zhang could offer more explanation, the burly man apologized and said, "I just remembered I have some work to do in the fields, so I'll be heading back first."
With someone leading the way, the others who were already anxious quickly found various excuses to slip away.
Family ties are one thing, but when it comes to these unexplainable strange matters, people naturally become cowardly.
Especially because Mrs. Zhang had initially concealed things, now they had an even more justified reason not to help.
A joke, one might not even look after oneself, so how could they not care for themselves?
After scattering, the previous imposing manner of Mrs. Zhang now seemed rather pathetic.
