Chapter 249: Soul Unsettled
Because she had made up her mind, Wang Yongzhu’s primary concern was still the pot of indigo, the mordant required for the dye, and some other miscellaneous items. So, she simply entrusted Wang Yongping with the task and let him go directly to Shopkeeper Wu to make the purchases.
It was also an opportunity for Wang Yongping.
Wang Yongping went to town, and when he came back, while he had bought the items, he seemed to be lost in thought.
During the meal, he was so absent-minded that he would grab at nothing in the empty plate with his chopsticks and still put it to his mouth as if he was chewing something.
This caused the children to barely stifle their laughter.
Old Granny Zhang slapped him with her chopsticks, "Have you lost your soul on a trip to town? Such an inexperienced thing you are. I just sent you to buy something, and you come back like this. How could I have given birth to such a blockhead!"
Wang Yongping’s face turned red, he hastily finished his meal in a few bites and went back to his room with a heavy heart.
Wang Yongzhu found it strange, thinking perhaps he had been snubbed at Shopkeeper Wu’s place. Men, after all, would grow braver after being stimulated a few times.
She didn’t have the mood to worry about it either, as the dye was giving her enough trouble, not to mention worrying about the minor odd behavior of her fourth brother.
Wang Yongping had always been carefree and naive at home, so no one took it seriously, thinking that probably after a good night’s sleep, he would be fine.
The next morning, Doctor Ma came, hiring a carriage.
