The Junior Officer did not allow them to go as it was unsafe. Two people from Old An's family had gone outside the village, and Ministry Councilor He had also brought his people.
However, the nosy villagers insisted and kept pestering the Junior Officer, telling him they would stand further away to watch. The Junior Officer wanted to teach everyone a lesson, so he did not stop them in the end.
Everyone stood far away and watched Old An's family drama.
At first, the Chief's eldest son thought this matter had nothing to do with them and rushed home after patrolling.
However, there was a troublemaker at home!
"Mother, how could you? My son would've been swept away by the flood if not for An Jiuyue. Even if Uncle An Tu saving my brother's life doesn't mean anything to you, you should still consider the fact that An Jiuyue saved your grandson!"
An Jiuyue had pulled many villagers out of the floodwaters. Everybody was grateful to her.
