The mother and son inside the house were overcome with such sorrow that it felt like a river flowing in reverse, yet outside, a merry gathering of eavesdroppers was taking place––––heads stacked upon heads, all of them leaning over the crack of the door, wishing they could gouge out their ears and eyes to thrust them through.
Little Jingkong was the shortest, so he was at the very bottom.

Eventually, Yujin gave up resisting.
