"Auntie, I know, right? I didn't even have time to react before she threw herself at me. That old lady is pretty spry."
Another female comrade nearby said, "Exactly, there was this one time they wanted to hit Xiao Shen, we went to dissuade them, and almost got beaten ourselves."
Yet another middle-aged woman said, "This family really did something terrible, didn't they? Hasn't heaven noticed?"
The first auntie said, "To get the house for nothing, of course she'd be that eager. I've heard that in their village, she's known as a shrew. Through kicking up a fuss and acting shamelessly, she managed to get two daughters-in-law for her son and grandson. Xiao Shen's grandparents died early, and her parents passed away in the line of duty not long after coming back. It all started with her saying she moved in to take care of Xiao Shen because she was young."
