While signaling for the He Family to keep up with the procession, Mrs. He Zhou waved over her clansmen. "Brothers! These people just appeared on the road claiming to be our relatives. Hurry, take a look and see if anyone recognizes them!"
"Tuping's mother, if you don't even know your own relatives, who else is going to claim you?"
"But I really don't know them!" Mrs. He Zhou said. "They just jumped out and insisted we're related by marriage. I only said something because they're so big and strong. Aren't I right to be afraid they'd bully a poor widow and her orphan?"
"Mrs. He Zhou, you've been calling yourself a 'widow and orphan' for decades. Now you have a daughter-in-law and grandchildren, you can't keep saying that.
And you lot, why are you blocking the road? Are you looking for trouble with us from Geda Village?"
Though everyone was still grumbling, when it came to a real conflict, they naturally sided with their own.
