Chapter 1650: Chapter 1650: What is this thing?

"What’s the point of going in? I’ll just say it right here!"

The woman’s face was fierce, she didn’t have a pinch of kindness for the lady.

"Huzi’s mother, has your son Huzi been causing trouble lately? And has your whole family been keeping it a secret to protect this son of yours, afraid to speak out?"

She asked Huzi’s mother.

"What...what happened?"

When Huzi’s mother heard Shan’er’s mother’s words, her eyelids twitched.

In her heart, she secretly wondered, could it be that the matter of her son Huzi digging into the divine cave had been discovered by them?

But so what, it’s just a divine cave, isn’t it? People have climbed it before, and nothing ever happened. So if her Huzi went to climb it, nothing would happen either, right?

"You’re still asking what happened?"

Upon hearing her words, Shan’er’s mother glared at her in anger.

Just looking at the expression on this woman’s face, she knew she was aware, yet she still dared to conceal it.

Wasn’t this deceiving people, or did she want to deceive everyone in the entire county!

"Don’t think we don’t know. Did your Huzi go climbing the divine cave that day? The morning before the hailstorm, he even took out a red sphere from inside the cave!"

"This..."

Upon hearing these words, Huzi’s mother turned pale with fright.

No one in her family knew about the red sphere; only she did.

That day, she saw her son playing with something at the doorway with several children, and on closer inspection, it was a ball already played with to the point of filthiness. She casually asked where it came from.

Who would have thought, her son, who wouldn’t hesitate to throw his parents under the bus, actually said it was from the divine cave.

Aiyo, how scared she was!

She immediately snatched the red sphere and then hid it away in a corner at home.

If word about the red sphere got out, that would be the end of it. Her whole family would definitely not be able to stay here, they’d surely be driven out.

But they were all bound by divine punishment enforced by this county, where could they go?

If not in the county, they would have to live in a straw hut outside the city.

But who would want to live a life like that?

So, she kept the matter of the red sphere a secret and did not share it with the other members of her family.

Moreover, on that day, she had scolded her son over and over again, telling him that he must never talk about it to others, otherwise, he would suffer divine retribution.

As it happened, right after that day, the hail began, and her father-in-law was killed by it. She threatened Huzi, warning him that if he spoke about the red sphere, the hailstones would crack open a few holes in his head too.

Frightened by her threats, the child kept the incident to himself.

"You’re talking nonsense; what red sphere? What’s that supposed to be? I don’t know anything about it, and my Huzi knows even less."

Regaining her composure, she shouted fiercely at Shan’er’s mother.

"You don’t know?"

Upon hearing this, the raging fire in Shan’er’s mother’s heart burned even fiercer.

Initially, she thought that if this family realized their mistake and corrected it, they could pretend as if nothing had happened.

But now it seemed these people were far from admitting their mistake, they were clearly concealing the matter about the red sphere on purpose!

"My Shan’er saw everything, your Huzi took the red sphere from the divine cave at the temple, and he was playing with it on the street with several kids! Don’t think no one knows about it!"

"No, there’s no such thing."

Huzi’s mother continued to deny, insisting that such an incident had never happened!
