By now, the Qian Family matriarch, who had been out visiting, had also returned. It was getting late, and time to make dinner. Otherwise, she would be scolded when Tong Tiehu returned to find the meal wasn't ready.

Before the matriarch from the Qian family could ask for any explanation, the stout laborers who had been out digging sweet potatoes returned.
Upon seeing the scene in the courtyard, Tong Tiehu and others were equally shocked. "What happened?"
