"Scholar Li, we know what the Su family did was wrong, but how can you treat your elders like this?" an old woman shouted. Her words sparked more arguments among the gathered crowd.
"It's okay, brothers, I know no matter what sacrifices I make for these children, but they... it's okay as long as they are happy," Old Man Su hiccupped, tears welling in his eyes. His acceptance of Jiho's words stunned his family. They couldn't believe their father, who never cried even when their eldest sister died, was now in tears. But when they met his gaze, they knew what they had to do.
Thud.
