It was as if the heavens had cracked open, and the rain poured down relentlessly, mixed with a bone-chilling cold that made people shiver uncontrollably.
In a room on the Ping Family Manor, sneezes and curses could be heard intermittently.
"... This damn thieving weather, it's like it doesn't want to give us a chance to live," a haggard woman cursed aloud with a pale face as she looked out at the rain curtain.
"Would you watch your mouth? Is it your place to curse the heavens?" scolded an elderly woman beside her, wrapped in a blanket, still shivering with purplish lips.
If Wufu and Madam Zhou were here, they would be both shocked and moved, for the people present were none other than Madam Lu and Old Lady Zhou, who had just visited Zhou Xuennian in the county jail and were planning to return to the village, along with Madam Lu's elder brother.
Madam Lu glanced at her mother-in-law but dared not say a word.
