"But... But Old Wang didn't say dead cattle couldn't be eaten," someone mumbled softly.
"If the dead cow was edible, do you think I'd let you lot have it at a discount? Wouldn't I have just butchered the meat to sell?" Old Wang pointed at those people, his question loaded with indignant anger.
His family merely grew vegetables to sell. How much silver could that bring in? If a perfectly healthy cow had died, would he have buried it just like that? Did they think his silver was blown in by the wind?
"You commit your own misdeeds and still want to shift the blame onto my family? Not on my watch! I'm telling you, if you dare to come to my door causing trouble again, I... I..."
"Just come to the county yamen to file a complaint, I will make sure justice is served for you!" The county official finally spoke up for Old Wang.
