"Ask that old fart what he has said? Oh, I'm being bullied by your entire family!"
Wang Pozi began to squat on the ground and wailed, and soon after, her family members arrived.
Her son pulled her up and asked, "Mom, weren't you just taking a walk? What happened?"
It was then that the bystanders carefully explained to both families what had happened, and afterwards, everyone fell silent.
Some thought it would have been better for them to have a fight, as neither of the old coots was reasonable. With the New Year upon them, who talks like that?
Of course, Wang Pozi started the trouble, so she was somewhat more in the wrong. But wasn't it Gu the elder who struck the first blow? Plus, he hit Wang Pozi on the shoulder, so maybe that made them even.
Fighting during the New Year is unlucky, and no one wanted to stir up trouble, so each family consoled their own and then went home.
On a normal day, things might not have been resolved so easily.
