The stench filled the room, and no one dared to enter.
By the time Wang Yongzhen finished cleaning up, she fetched water to wipe down the kang bed once, and mixed the dirt on the floor with plant ash before sweeping it out.

After spending fifteen taels of silver to send Wang Yongzhen away, and returning to the inner yard, Old Granny Zhang couldn’t really rest easy, constantly listening for any noise from outside.
When she heard her daughter come back, she hurried out and asked, "Did you manage to send the person off?"
Wang Yongzhu nodded, "I gave her fifteen taels of silver, and she took eldest sister away."
Upon hearing that silver was also given, Old Granny Zhang’s brows furrowed. She was about to say something, but after thinking it over, she ultimately couldn’t bring herself to criticize her own precious daughter.
Instead, she glared fiercely at Wang Laozhu, who was still asleep, oblivious to it all, "It’s all your father’s doing, spoiling her like that. Now look at him, dead drunk and not caring about anything, leaving us to clean up his mess!"
Although she said this, Old Granny Zhang knew that her youngest daughter had no choice but to handle things this way; it was just that the silver was very dear to her, "You could have just given a few taels of silver, our family’s silver doesn’t grow on trees. Why were you so careless, giving away fifteen taels?"
