Papa Cai and Mama Cai were a pair—one blunt and direct, the other a needle hidden in silk—who made it clear just how much status and influence they held locally. They demanded we accept one hundred thousand yuan as a "nutrition fee" to settle the matter, implying that if we didn't drink the toast of friendship, we would be forced to drink the toast of punishment.

I thought you two were something special; I wouldn't even pick up that kind of pocket change off the street, and here you are having the nerve to act all high and mighty in front of me. Your son is a total deviant—he’s been abusing cats and dogs for ages and no one could stop him, but this time he went after my daughter with a knife, and I am going to make sure he rots in prison! As for a lawsuit, my family has plenty of money; we’ll take this all the way to the end."
