During this period, Jindou and Jinhu, along with Jinguan, the three brothers, followed Wang Yongping around to several nearby villages, asking if anyone had mountain goods to sell.
Wang Yongfu's leg had almost recovered too. That day, when he suddenly felt pain during the water scuffle, and then it rained heavily a couple of days later, alleviating the drought, he realized the painful feeling Song Chongjin talked about that arises during rainy weather.
Now that he could walk, and knowing the agony of being unable to, he paid even more attention to his leg and, although he could not do heavy work, he couldn't stand idling around either.
All he needed to do every day was stay at home, waiting for Laosi and a few kids to bring people who wanted to sell mountain goods, so he could assess their quality and estimate their price.
