Several girls were frolicking by the riverbank, with Shushu describing her beau's appearance, her eyes brimming with longing for the future.
...
Suddenly, a few hooligans appeared on the main street. They had been drinking and stumbled along, knocking over many street vendors' stalls, yet the onlookers dared not speak out in anger.
When the hooligans reached the riverbank, they instantly set their sights on the young girls washing clothes, their eyes lighting up.
One of them called out, "What pretty little ladies, it's hot today. We brothers want to take a dip to cool off. Come and play with us, we'll teach you how to swim!"
The girls didn't dare to retort but rather gathered up their clothes, intending to leave the place.
However, the bullies swarmed them, blocking the girls' way, and some hooligans even began to grope the girls.
