This sentence also quieted the playful crowd.
No one spoke, and everyone watched the villa's entrance with rapt attention.
Even the two villagers who were about to start a fight had become silent.
After a while, the clan elder emerged from the villa with Chu Dazhuang at the forefront, followed closely by the elder's son and his young wife.
A group of people escorted Chu Dazhuang and the clan elder out the door.
Seeing the clan elder so spry as he walked out, a wave of surprise swept through the crowd, which quickly turned into a frenzy.
The clan elder was eighty-six years old this year. He had devoted his life to the prosperity of Tang Family Village and had nurtured many excellent descendants. Every year during festivals, these descendants would return to the village to worship their ancestors and kneel before the clan elder,
to express their gratitude for his leadership in bringing wealth and strength to the village.
