Shen Daqiang's daughter-in-law, Liang Sisi, was someone old Hong had always disapproved of.
He felt that Liang Sisi was far too haughty, far too acerbic, far too harsh—she had no willingness to show kindness even to the sole daughter Daqiang's previous wife had left behind. Such a woman, he thought, could only amount to this in life.
However, despite how much old Hong disapproved of Shen Daqiang and Liang Sisi, as their neighbor and as Daqiang's former superior, he had always shown concern and attention towards Shen Daqiang.
Therefore, upon hearing the massive commotion and unusual activity in Shen Daqiang's house, old Hong hurried over.
Now, seeing how frantic he was as he pounded on the door, and with no one from Shen Daqiang's family appearing, moreover, the sounds of a struggle inside the house ceasing after his knocking and shouting, old Hong suddenly felt unease.
"Daqiang, Daqiang! Open up! Open up fast!"
