As they were walking, the courtyard door of the Mei Family suddenly opened from the inside, and a young man came out carrying a stone, followed by a woman in her fifties, who was crying and pulling at her son's clothes.
The man struggled in vain, and in a fit of embarrassed rage, he actually turned around and attempted to smash the stone on the woman's head.
Ouyang Jun and others changed their expression drastically upon seeing this and, without a second thought, shouted in unison, "Stop!"
Mei Dekang's mind was set on taking the stone, and seeing his own mother blocking him, he grew angry. The gambler's mentality took over, and he completely lost his reason, and actually threw the stone at his own mother. Startled by Ouyang Jun and the others' shouting, he turned around and, upon seeing Alimu, his face suddenly became embarrassed, and he stammered, "Uncle..."
"Uncle" is a term of respect for older men in the Wei District language.
