Gu Wanhua saw this and thought it was rather childish. Indeed, just a little kid who got duped by a piece of candy.

When the ox cart returned to Shangling Village, Gu Chengyu saw that his house had already been half demolished, with several people busy in the yard. It seemed that all their belongings had been moved into the house at the foot of the hill, but he hadn't expected the demolition to happen today.
