The first carriage carried only female family members, as did the ones following it. It was inappropriate for the masters to show their faces at a time like this. The sole male in the group was currently at a loss for words, leaving the situation in an awkward stalemate.
It wouldn't have been a problem if things had ended there, but the men blocking their path refused to let it go. They began hurling insults, and one of them even lunged forward, attempting to grab the Lin Family's carriage and drag it to the side. However, the road was flanked by cultivated fields. If the carriage was pushed off the path, pulling it back out would be incredibly difficult.
They had pressing matters to attend to on this trip. Left with no choice, Mrs. Hu lifted the curtain and looked outside. "Gentlemen, it is truly inconvenient for us to make way, and we have urgent business to handle. If you'd be willing to accommodate us, we would gladly reward you handsomely!"
