To Ma Dalang, although there had been some unpleasantness between his family and the Lin Family before, he didn't think it amounted to much. There were rules in the village: as long as one family bowed its head after a dispute, no one was allowed to hold a grudge. After all, hadn't the Ma family attended Lin Zige's wedding?
