"After Jiang Chuan left the family, you gave him nothing, not even a place to live. The place where they live now was my old house, which was built by the villagers. People might gossip about it if they hear about what you did."
Jiang Fu knew this would make him look bad if people found out. He was surprised when Jiang Chuan's family fought back.
He knew that his wife went to Jiang Chuan's house. He thought about how the village chief had not come out to talk about the rumors in the village these past few days, and he rarely cared about the village's affairs. So he did not stop her. Anyway, a good scolding could serve as a lesson to Jiang Chuan's family, reminding them that their parents were still alive and they shouldn't hide anything good they find and keep for themselves.
