Chapter 411 - 296: Grandmother’s House
Mrs. Lai’s parental home was in the neighboring village, just a mile away, and although it was not in the same town as theirs, it was still not far from their town.
Mrs. Li’s parental home was in the same town, just two miles away by the edge of the town.
Hongji drove the ox cart to the town, passing by his second sister-in-law and her family’s shop, and saw two women tending to both shops.
The men of the family were probably out restocking, and as for the little child, he was likely inside the room. They were also seen attending to customers.
Today was not a visit to their home, so Hongji chose not to stay. When he arrived at the place selling pork, he stopped his cart there.
For a trip to his wife’s parental home, a wife would prepare gifts and chickens, with pork being a key focus. The village had pork for sale, but it was more expensive during the festive period, and there was little choice.
"Boss, here to buy pork?"
Hongji parked the ox cart in front of the pork stall, and the pork seller, a robust man who recognized Hongji, greeted him cheerfully.
This pork stall owner was a man of a different surname from Mrs. Li’s village, running the business with his wife.
Both were swamped during the festive period, slaughtering extra pigs to sell more pork, and the whole family was out selling meat.
