Without a press card, she wore a denim T-shirt and carried a backpack, entering a village near Jin County—Liuxia Village—like a college student, not forgetting to wear the mask Mr. Su had left her.
As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, she heard a commotion coming from inside the village.

Told you can’t live without a man! Told you if you’re a man, you’re XXXXXX..."
The words that followed became increasingly vulgar, accompanied by the "slap" sounds of beatings. Another woman dragged out her cries, "Stop beating! Stop beating! If you have to beat, beat me!

Tu Hengsha quickly asked a woman nearby what was happening.
The woman spat on the ground, expressing her strong contempt and anger, "Shameless woman! Her man fell ill, and she took up with someone else! Caught in bed by her granny! Such a wretched woman! So shameless! Deserving of a man’s X, this despicable thing!"
