Gu Feng and the elder Huang Family couple lived in the main house, while the second youngest Gu brother's family lived in the east wing of the backyard, and the third youngest Gu lived in the west wing, separated by only a wall. The noisy commotion had awakened everyone in the entire backyard.
The elder Mrs. Huang had been startled awake in the middle of the night, and when she got angry, her voice was not small. Without even leaving her room, she yelled toward the west wing.
"You there in the third brother's house, making a ruckus in the dead of night instead of sleeping. What are you lamenting for? Do you even want to harvest the rice in the fields tomorrow?"
The whole family went to the third brother Gu's courtyard to see what the fuss was about. Upon entering the backyard, they saw the third brother Gu's wife, Meng Qiuju, crying fiercely! That ghostly wailing turned out to be her howling.
