Many villagers were afraid. Many started to ponder stuff.
Lin Laosan's family managed to borrow the clothes, but when they saw the crowd disperse, they were confused. However, they didn't connect this to Lin Yuelan.
Their top priority was to find their clothes.
If they didn't find their clothes, they would have to buy new clothes in the future. They would have to buy new clothes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. That would cost them at least a year's worth of extra money.
However, the problem was that they didn't have extra money to buy clothes.
They didn't even have enough money to give Lin Dazong for his studies. How would they have enough money to buy new clothes? If they couldn't buy new clothes, then they had to find their old clothes back.
All members of the family went out to look, wearing other villagers' borrowed clothes.
I'd be stunned too
