Lady Lin’s hands and feet were quick, and she found the silver note in Lady Sun’s belt, hastily handing it over to Old Granny Zhang.
Upon receiving the silver note, Wang Yonggui couldn’t restrain himself from drawing near, his eyes not moving an inch.
Old Granny Zhang glanced at Wang Yonggui and swiftly tucked the silver note into her bosom.
Only after the search was finished did Wang Yongzhu address Song Chongjin, who had been standing by silently the whole time, "Then I must trouble Brother Song to accompany me and these two to see the official."
Song Chongjin shook his head, "It’s not proper for a young lady to deal with such matters—" he said, giving a meaningful look at Wang Laozhu.
Wang Laozhu knocked his tobacco pipe on the ground twice before standing up, "Chongjin is right, it’s not convenient for a young lady to handle this! It’s more fitting for me to take charge! I’ll accompany Chongjin on this trip!"
Wang Yongzhu naturally wouldn’t say much. After whispering a few words to Old Granny Zhang, Zhang extracted a few notes from the silver note and handed them to Wang Laozhu, "You’ll need silver to see the official, take this!"
Not only did Wang Yonggui feel heartache watching this, even Lady Lin did as well. The silver note hadn’t even had time to warm before it was to be spent again.
Seeing an official was such a hassle; it was easier to just sell to the mountains.
However, both dared not speak, only watching as Song Chongjin dragged the man outside, leaving Lady Sun behind.
As they turned their gaze, they went up and grabbed Lady Sun’s hair, dragging her outside; when they touched something hard, they looked down and saw that Lady Sun still had a copper hairpin stuck in her hair.
