Cai Ming set out early in the morning carrying a small package, just as he ran into Tong Juan coming out of the house.
After greeting Tong Juan, Cai Ming quickly left.
Ever since my big sister and others visited, the village has been filled with various rumors about her, like she came to borrow food, they're not doing well, and even stories about my brother-in-law owing grain to the brigade.
If Tong Juan wasn't involved in spreading these rumors, Cai Ming would never believe it; without so-called informed sources, how would villagers know these things?
Even if my brother-in-law did borrow grain from the village, how come the Red Flag Brigade didn't spread it, yet it's being spread around here?
And the timing is just right; don't take them for fools.
Given the situation, why should Cai Ming show any kindness to Tong Juan and the others? Cai Ming is really on the verge of going crazy.
