Seeing the man with the big gold chain trying to drag the girl away, the onlookers immediately became enraged.
"Stop it, what do you think you're doing? Do you really intend on forcing an innocent girl into prostitution? Even if her bamboo basket did cut your hand, you have no right to bully someone else's daughter."
"This girl is obviously from the countryside; if she had money, she wouldn't be selling bamboo baskets here. You've got such a thick gold chain around your neck, can't you even afford a Band-Aid?"
"Look at what you've done, you've broken the girl's head open. It's still undecided who should pay whom for the medical expenses."
The man with the big gold chain had provoked public anger; the crowd, now incensed, surrounded him, preventing him from leaving.
Everyone could hardly imagine what would happen to the girl if he took her away.
