Meanwhile, Zhao Zhitong had no idea about what had just happened; she was at home, concerned about whether her grandmother and two aunts had been injured.
Visibly, her grandmother and aunts were a mess; even Sun Mei's clothes were disheveled, and their hair was a disaster. They looked quite pitiful. However, they didn't seem to have any actual injuries, just some red marks on Aunt's face where Xiao Wang had scratched her, though the skin wasn't broken.
It was Mrs. Wang who had really gotten the worst of it, receiving several solid slaps from Zhao Guifen that caused her face to swell. Zhao Guifen was quite proud of this.
But Sun Mei was worried. Scuffles and arguments among women in the rural streets were all too common here. Her daughter, now four and a half years old, loved to imitate people and had just witnessed family elders fighting.
