As soon as everyone saw him appear, it was as if they had found a treasure. They hurried forward and grabbed his arm, saying, "Oh, Big Bull, you're just in time. Come quickly, we've been so anxious."
"What's the matter?" Big Bull looked confused. He had just stepped away and didn't know that the Mo family had come to cause trouble.
A few women surrounded him, each speaking one after another, telling him what had happened, while also turning their heads to point at the Mo family, "Look, Big Bull, so many people from the Mo family have come over here saying they want to eat, but our food is cooked based on headcount. If we feed them, what will the mason masters eat? They've worked hard all morning and can't go hungry; plus, they still have work to do in the afternoon."
"Just tell them to leave," said Big Bull in a very concise manner.
The women looked at each other, not daring to utter such direct, offensive words as outsiders.
