The words of the middle-aged woman infuriated Mo Yan and the other two. But Mo Qingze and Lizhong, being men, couldn't possibly argue with a woman in public, their furrowed brows revealing their intense displeasure.
Mo Yan had no such reservations. She glanced at the mean-spirited woman and said loudly to the villagers:
"Fellow villagers, my Mo Family may not be a household known for accumulating virtues, but when everyone just moved to Liu Yang Village last year and times were tough, my Mo Family, thinking of our shared community, brought you food, cotton, and cloth, hoping to alleviate some of your immediate hardships. I believe everyone present has received something. Whenever my Mo Family had work to offer, we also paid a high price to hire your help. You all know in your hearts what kind of people we are."
