You're calling them swindlers, yet you shouldn't say it to their face…
Indeed, as the elders stood silent, a middle-aged man dressed in a white coat spoke up, "No, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting us?"
Xue Lingling knew what she said was inappropriate and hurriedly explained, "That's not it, I didn't mean that, I was just chatting with everyone.
The middle-aged man, with a stern look on his face, said, "You're still denying it, but I heard everything you said over here. You think we're up to something just because we offer free services, right?"
"We've been coming to the village to offer free health check-ups and give away products for more than just a day or two. Ask anybody else in the village – have we taken a single cent from anyone over these days?"
A nearby elder chimed in, "Assistant Xue, they really haven't taken anything. They're not like other fraudsters; we're not stupid. There's no way we'd just give away our money."
