"Can't you see it?" a voice echoed through the crowd. "They're a married couple playing both sides. One wants to cover it up, to avoid us making a fuss, while the other blatantly disregards us. They're not afraid of our resistance. It's as if money gives them the right to do so!"
The commotion was loud and disruptive. Gu Zi and Su Shen had been absent for quite some time, which prompted An Yun and Li Hua to come out and investigate. They didn't know what had transpired, but they sensed trouble. They hurriedly approached Gu Zi, with Li Hua asking, "What happened, sister? Are you alright?"
Gu Zi, however, remained calm. "It's nothing," she said. "I just needed to clarify some things. The village chief did approach me about running a training class, but I haven't given him an answer yet. Now, I don't need to consider it. I won't be running the class. You can rest assured."
