To the people of Stoneback Village, if they could be on good terms with the Shi Family, they would. If they couldn't, they shouldn't offend them.
Firstly, the Shi family was a big family, and the brothers were very united. Usually, it was fine to if there were minor quarrels, but if someone from the family was bullied, the entire Shi family would not be willing.
Secondly, when Shi Tietou's daughter married a rich man who donated a few million to repair the road, they would receive the gratitude and favor of the relevant entities in charge. Naturally, this also became a symbol of the Shi family's backing and connections.
If anyone in the village encountered something that they could not handle, they might be able to tap on the Shi family's connections.
