Chapter 115: Cat in Heat, Are You in Heat Too?
The next day, the news about An Hao selling Snowflake Cream spread through every alley and lane; all the villagers knew she had wholesaled the cream to sell and made quite a profit from a single temple fair.
When it came to discussions, everyone was green with envy.
Some of the villagers, who’d been to the market in the neighboring village, had seen it but hadn’t bought any, and they went to An Hao’s house afterward looking to buy Snowflake Cream.
Bai Yanjiao watched with wide eyes as others bought up all the Snowflake Cream, feeling both envious and resentful. Gritting her teeth and stamping her foot, she closed her door and left.
She went to look for Shen Lianqing, to see if she could get some to use.
No sooner had Bai Yanjiao stepped out than she heard people discussing An Hao and Shen Zhihua. They said that yesterday when An Hao went out to sell goods, Shen Zhihua had waited for her with a water jug under the willow tree by the village entrance.
The pair looked quite well-matched walking together; surely the young man was smitten, and the maiden returned his feelings.
Had she not heard the gossip, it might have been alright, but listening to it felt like her heart was being pricked with needles.
