Wang Xiaoxin said coldly, "There's no need. Right here in front of these neighbors is fine. Some matters need witnesses."
She glanced around at the crowd and continued, "This trip to Mount Tai—was it Yiting who invited you all to go?"
Seeing her cousin's eyes start darting around again, she added, "You'd better not lie."
He Anmei, her face flushed, replied, "It was Yiting who suggested going to Mount Tai. I thought since our family hadn't been there before, we might as well go together."
Wang Xiaoxin cleared her throat lightly. "So who paid for the train tickets to Tai'an?"
He Anmei realized there was no escaping. "Was it Yiting's husband who paid?"
Wang Xiaoxin didn't bother asking further. "I'm just curious—how much did you all spend on Yiting's family during this trip?"
He Anmei kept her head down and said nothing as the surrounding crowd began murmuring softly. "Do you think He Anmei was lying when she bragged to us earlier?"
