Speak Out

"If you don't believe me, you don't have to listen to me. You can also reject the items if Jiang Chuan and family manage to find stuff in the mountains."

The village chief spoke rudely, not giving the woman any chance to talk back.

"Chief, what are you saying? What makes you so sure they will be able to bring things back? I will burn incense and pray to Buddha if they don't get stuck in the mountain like the last time again. I don't have high hopes they will be able to bring anything back."

Mrs. Sun's words instantly reminded everyone of the situation when the entire village went up the mountain to look for Jiang Chuan's family. Their expressions became subtle. Looking for someone was a physical task. They did not want to travel so far for three or four people again.

The village chief's face was livid with anger, but he had to admit that it was possible they might get stuck up there again.
