Su Ming watched the crowd with a growing sense of irritation. Standing at the back of the crowd, he bellowed, "Have you all eaten so much that you have nothing better to do? What are you arguing about? What are you causing a ruckus for? Why have you come to the Su family's doorstep? What are you planning to do? Have you no shame?"

His words had an immediate effect. The clamoring villagers gradually fell silent, their gazes turning towards Su Ming. As he walked to the center of the discussion, where Gu Zi was standing, the crowd watched him intently.

In the midst of the earlier chaos, Gu Zi had remained remarkably calm. She watched the argument unfold, seemingly unaffected, as if she was waiting for the dispute to end before she would speak.
