When the three of them returned to the village, Lin Xiujuan, Old Madam Ma, who lived next door to the Liu family, and Old Madam Ma's daughter-in-law were sitting under a tree at the door. They were holding their bowls in their hands while chatting.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli had returned with a cart full of things, Old Madam Ma and her daughter-in-law widened their eyes, wanting to see what was in the cart.
However, Zhou Xiaoli had covered the cart tightly with a cloth, so they couldn't see anything try as they might.
Unwilling to give up, Old Madam Ma and her daughter-in-law walked over with their bowls. "Eh, isn't this the daughter of the eldest Zhou son? She's back from selling the pigs. Aiyo, this is amazing. She bought such a big cart of things. She must have earned a lot of money!"
As they spoke, the two of them moved closer to Zhou Xiaoli and reached out to lift the white cloth covering the cart.
