"Emily, are you saying you want the Hayes brothers to be released so they can continue plaguing our family? So Greenfield can keep suffering under that coal mine? So the villagers can keep getting cancer?" Brittany challenged.

Of course, she didn't have to use cow dung; she could mix a few common herbs into a powder, blend with water, and apply it to her face. But Daniel couldn't stand Emily's attitude, so he figured cow dung might be the most appropriate
