Just as Wufu's restaurant was preparing for a grand opening, the county government office's prison was staging a chaotic scene every day. Zhou Xuennian and his wife, purposely locked up together, performed a sorry spectacle of dog-eat-dog daily, providing free entertainment for their 'neighbors'.
After being locked up for eight days, the couple was on the verge of collapse because during these days, not a single soul had come to visit them, let alone release them.
This realization made them finally understand that Wufu was not bluffing when she threatened them; she truly planned to keep them locked up there for life.
Zhou Xuennian panicked, hating Madam Lu's greed even more for getting him stuck in this predicament while feeling unjustified resentment. It was Madam Lu who stole things, yet why should he also be imprisoned? This was undoubtedly being implicated without cause.
