The women looked at their husband helplessly and asked, "Why is the goddess not fulfilling our wishes? What should we do? We haven't watered the crops for a few months. There is nothing to eat at home."
Seeing that the wooden statue could not produce anything, the women were the first to lose their cools because they cared about their children.
Some people had already shed tears of regret. If they had taken care of the crops in their land well, they would have had something to eat when the harvest came. They had lived a good life for so long and had almost forgotten the taste of suffering. Once the goddess stopped giving them what they wanted, they broke down.
The children at home were so hungry that they cried, and the elders sighed.
Some people thought that it was because they were not sincere enough, but no matter how sincerely they worshiped the statue, they still could not get a grain of rice from the statue.
