After leaving the County Government Office, the group walked silently back to Anping Village.
By the time they reached the village, it was evening. Tong Tiehu didn't return to the Tong family home but had Qiao Qinghe drive the ox cart to the village threshing grounds.
The so-called threshing grounds of Anping village were small due to the large population, so everyone set up their own threshing area in their own fields. The village threshing grounds had lost their original purpose and were only used for meetings or announcements.
Whether it was the breaking of the Qiao Family's engagement to the Sun Family, or Sun Junyan being beaten, these events were regarded as significant matters in Anping Village, demanding the gathering of all villagers as witnesses.
At this evening hour, apart from busy farming times, most people who worked in the fields had returned to the village.
