Su Li and the others were in a rush because the story had turned bloody.
And it was about the age-old, timeless conflict between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law.
The incident began with a vicious mother-in-law who had been abusing her daughter-in-law, despising her for being unable to produce a son and giving birth to three daughters instead.
She frequently beat and cursed the three little girls as well. Unable to produce a son, the daughter-in-law felt she had no ground to stand on and could only grit her teeth and bear the abuse.
She endured it for more than a decade as her daughters grew up.
As the saying goes: either erupt in silence or perish in it.
In the end, this meek daughter-in-law erupted.
Her mother-in-law and even her own husband didn't love their daughters, but she doted on them. She was the sole reason her three daughters had managed to grow up healthy.
