Stubborn Second Uncle was never one to mix much with the villagers; everyone knew he wasn't easy to get along with. Standing there now, holding a large kitchen knife and glaring coldly at the mother and son who had come rushing over, the scene was, in truth, quite terrifying. The older women gathered around, waiting to buy meat, instinctively took several steps back. This inadvertently cleared a path for Zhao Xiaowu and his mother.
The pair, however, lacked the social awareness to read the room. Completely oblivious to the tension, they charged right up to Stubborn Second Uncle. Zhao Xiaowu's mother, still gasping for breath, blurted out, "Stubborn Old Er, how could you put this meat up for sale without even telling us? My Xiaowu went up the mountain to hunt with you today! Making these decisions on your own without a word to us—isn't that wrong? You've broken the rules!"
Nan Yu watched with a smirk as the old woman wheezed and rattled on, then shifted his gaze to Zhao Xiaowu, who stood behind her with his head bowed, silent. This Zhao Xiaowu just wouldn't give up; he was clearly hoping to grab a share of the money.
