Aunt Li's words were like a needle piercing through Grandmother Liu. The latter was about to fire back when the village chief spoke.
"Liu Yeshi, do tell. Why did you do it?" He asked Liu Duo.
Liu Duo sat aside and shot a look at Grandmother Liu and Liu Quanyan, who were both consumed with rage, "Some people kept bothering me for money, and when they couldn't get what they wanted, they beat and scolded my brother. All I did was give them a lesson and a warning. What do you think, Chief?"
The chief did not immediately take a side. Instead, he faced Grandmother Liu, "If she doesn't want to lend to you, then you have to think of other solutions. Scolding others and beating them up is not right to begin with."
Grandmother Liu wanted to counter that, but then the chief added, "But your Grandmother Liu and Liu Quanyan are your elders. Severing ties doesn't dismiss the fact that you're connected by blood. It's not right for you to injure them like that."
