The village chief, seeing that their quarreling was getting nowhere, advised Sun Li's wife, "Why don't you just tell us what you were doing up on the mountain? If you haven't done anything wrong, you naturally wouldn't be afraid to tell everyone."
At this point, Sun Li snapped back to reality. "Why do we have to explain ourselves?" he demanded. "Didn't Zhou Lan and her daughter also go up the mountain in the middle of the night? Why isn't anyone asking what they were up to!"
After hearing Sun Li's words, the villagers finally realized that Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia had also gone up the mountain in the middle of the night. Someone asked, "Zhou Lan, why did you go up the mountain?"
