"Clang!"
The harsh sound of metal striking echoed, as Aunt Mei rhythmically pounded the bottom of the metal basin with a metal spoon. Simultaneously, she elongated her voice and shouted, "The pharmacy's medicine is killing people! The pharmacy's medicine is killing people!"
Aunt Mei's actions quickly grabbed the attention of many villagers. While Mei Lian and the hired workers were on their way to the pharmacy with the straw mats, a group of villagers followed along.
After falling ill, Ah Hui's weight had rapidly decreased to less than 70 pounds. Mei Lian and the hired worker found it effortless to carry her.
As Mei Lian observed her grandmother knocking on the iron basin and shouting, her expression remained stiff.
Had Mei Lian just recently married into Aunt Mei's family, she would have found this situation embarrassing.
However, Mei Lian had spent many years in Aunt Mei's household and had grown accustomed to her mother-in-law's ways.
