Chapter 406 Pleasant to the eye
During the day, when people saw smoke rising from Song Chunhua’s yard, they knew she was all right.
There were some particularly gossipy folks who whispered quietly to those around them, "That Song Chunhua, she ran to my house in the middle of the night yesterday, wanting to buy our new rice!"
"Did you sell it to her?"
"Nonsense, of course, I sold it! Why would I turn down money? It’s just that I sold it at a higher price!" the woman replied, righteous and proud.
"Anyway, she can’t hold on to that silver money, better it benefits my family than the Song Family. At least I sold her polished rice, not just raw grains!"
...
Neighbors around chimed in, with the shrewd women already deciding in their hearts to sneak over to the Song Family that night to ask around. After all, Song Chunhua always relied on Song Chongjin, had no land nor vegetable gardens; she certainly needed to buy everything now. That day, the Wang Family Girl gave her ten taels of silver, so there should be some to spare for spending.
Wang Yongzhu and the others had no idea how the neighbors were thinking or what they were doing, and even if they did, they wouldn’t get involved.
After sorting out the household registration, Song Chongjin felt much more at ease, and Wang Yongping’s leg had also almost completely healed these past few days.
