Upon hearing the Chief's words, the Junior Officer glanced at the couple with a knowing look.
The meaning behind the Chief's words was clear—he did not want this family to stay in the village. It was impossible to snatch Heizhuang back. But even if they succeeded, they would not be able to return to the village.
This family was so troublesome. They would only cause a ruckus if they continued staying in the village.
The couple did not think much about what the Chief said. They left happily and quickly.
"Chief, how can you let them leave?" one of the men asked, not understanding why.
Everyone knew how serious the epidemic was. It was dangerous to allow Old An's family to roam around outside.
They were not worried that Old An's family would be at risk. This family disgusted them, and they did not care about their lives.
