The scene once again descended into chaos. Old Man Li saw that another large water tank at the entrance to his kitchen had been smashed, and he watched as Shen Yidong was about to rush into the kitchen and smash the cooking pot. In a panic, he waved his hands and shouted, "Enough, enough, stop smashing, stop smashing, we'll compensate! We'll compensate!"
The large pot had been brought over by his eldest son-in-law. At that time, no one knew how many industrial coupons they had saved up, or how much money they had gathered; a single smash would mean uncertainty about obtaining another pot, leaving the entire family without means to cook meals.
