Song Chongjin was both angry and hateful, and he didn't care about Mother Song crying in the background. He charged straight to his maternal family's home, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find clothes and shoes, and he packed them up in a pile to take back home.
The two aunts from the Song Family were not willing to let the matter go, as the clothing was made of fine cotton fabric, and the shoes were painstakingly crafted with multiple layers. These items were truly exceptional and a rare sight in the countryside.
The two aunts simply couldn't bear to give them to the men in their own family, and had planned to sneak off to town to pawn them, hoping to exchange them for some food. That's why they had kept them.
Now, as these items were being taken away, it felt like cutting flesh from their own bodies!
While cursing out loud, they shouted for the men of the household to lend a hand.
