When the villagers outside heard the news, they rushed to the Mu Residence. Many of them came in to take a look at the situation. Seeing that the Mu family was crying miserably, they hurriedly helped them. "Let's carry Ah Ling onto the brick bed first. If we leave her on the ground, she might catch a cold."
Someone also said, "What a sin. Hurry up and fetch her a doctor."
"And quickly send someone to the academy to fetch Bowen back. Ah Ling is the pillar of their family. Now that she's collapsed, he'll have to take her place."
Another person asked Great-aunt, "Who was so ruthless to do this? She's still a child. Was it for the corn?"
