Wei's mother and the Wei clan members shouted for a full half hour, but the gate of the Wei family's courtyard remained closed and no one came out to respond.
The elders in the village came out one after another and drove away all the villagers who were watching the fun. Some idle men and gossipy women followed the Wei clan members to make a fuss, and they could not be driven away. The elders didn't say a word and just picked up their crutches to beat them.
"Why don't you disperse?! Keep surrounding here, drive everyone out!"
Since Evan Zhao rebuilt the village, most people have gotten used to the new name. But officially, Wei's village is still inhabited by border residents, and the annual land rent, taxes, and corvée service are all in accordance with the old rules of the county.
The old man in the village spoke, and the idlers did not dare to resist. They all laughed and dispersed. Those who did not want to leave were also forcibly dragged away by their families.
