Gu Jinli and his companions, upon hearing the voice, turned back to see a strange young man in his early twenties with a square face and average looks.
Elder Li Si, holding a jug of liquor with one hand on the servant's shoulder, slanted his head to look at Gu Dashan and the others, seeing them dressed poorly with some even in coarse hemp clothes, disdainfully said: "What beggars are these... Hurry up and scram, don't dirty my family's ground!"
He then pointed at the gatekeeper and said: "You—how do you guard the gate? Why would you open the gate for these kinds of beggars?"
The gatekeeper, upon seeing Li Junping, flashed a look of disdain in his eyes, but could not reply dismissively as he was a relative of the homeowner: "Elder Li Si, they are here to visit the Qi Family."
