Chapter 696 - 695: Leaving
After several refusals, he finally reluctantly agreed.
Lady Lin by the side, her eyes red with jealousy, knew all too well that her branch of the family, lacking the close relationship that Laosi’s branch had with the young lady of the family, could never expect such favors. Besides, since she firmly refused to give the precious items she had saved up as part of her sister-in-law’s dowry, the entire family now held a grudge against her. Thus, she only muttered to herself a few times without daring to utter a single word aloud.
Such a substantial procession had already drawn the villagers to watch, not to mention the news that had spread from Lizheng’s house a few days prior, saying that the Wang Family Young Lady was going with Song Chongjin and Old Granny Zhang to the county town.
It was also heard that even their household registration would be transferred there, so from then on, she would be a city lady, not a country woman anymore.
In recent days, due to the Wang Family observing mourning, they kept their doors closed, letting no one in, so no one could obtain any reliable information.
It was not easy for today the Wang Family’s doors were open, and seeing the several carts loaded with belongings at the doorway, the people of Qilidun couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazement.
Goodness, the Wang Family Young Lady had accumulated quite a bit of wealth, that Song Family Boy really picked up a great bargain.
At the old house, Wang Yongzhen also heard the commotion. A couple of days ago, Mutou had returned; recently he had found a decent job. His employer appreciated his honesty and hard work, not to mention he wasn’t too talkative, and was quite satisfied with him, entrusting him with all of the household tasks.
Mutou was too busy to return, planning to finish the work for his employer and then just about the time for spring plowing, he would go back to help his uncles and aunt with the spring farming as a way to repay their kindness.
Unexpectedly, before he could complete his current work, he heard that Qilidun had drawn attention; an old man from the countryside had died and to everyone’s surprise, his send-off was as grand as that of the wealthy landlords.
How filial his children must be!
