The shack Sun Family and Sun Junyan lived in, although called a shack, was in fact a wooden house. The weather was not too hot when they were chased out of the village. To ensure that this mother-son duo wouldn't catch a cold, the shack was built to be wind-tight and waterproof.
Tree trunks as thick as a baby's arm were secured together with wires to form wooden panels, which served as walls that wind could not penetrate and rain could not seep through.
And because they were the mother and son, there were proper distinctions made between men and women, Tong Tiehu therefore built two separate rooms.
Furthermore, the ground inside this wooden house, although erected in the fields, was pressed as flat and firm as the threshing floor.
Under these conditions, anyone who saw this would praise Tong Tiehu for his righteousness.
Even though his own grandson had been publicly humiliated, he still managed to construct such a good wooden house. This village chief is really a good man!
