The display of force was somewhat grand.
Jiang Nanshu stood motionless ten meters away from them.
"Why have the old men come? Could it be that they're here to seek justice from me?"
"Sigh, just had a morning of joy, and now it's starting again, so tiring! What can I say later to extort a hefty fee for being kicked out of the house?"
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were drawn by Jiang Nanshu's inner thoughts and immediately spotted their daughter standing in place, lost in thought.
Mr. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Madam Cheng had arrived earlier and had been frantically searching for Jiang Nanshu, behaving like a lunatic. He estimated that if she found Jiang Nanshu, she would start by slapping her several times to vent her anger.
The two hurried over, and after learning that Jiang Nanshu was not at school, they felt at ease. So, both families simply stood together at the school gates, neither allowing the other to pass.
