That evening, news of Song Chongjin being sold to the Wang Family as a live-in son-in-law rapidly spread throughout the village.
All night long, nearly every household stayed awake, gossiping despite their exhaustion from a day's work.
Some believed the Song Family had struck it rich—One hundred taels! How many families could never earn that much in their entire lives!
Others thought the Song Family had acted dishonorably, especially after seeing that Song Chunhua had barely touched the silver before it was snatched away by her family members.
After all, it was money from selling their son, and to have sold him for such a high price without getting a penny for themselves—it was truly disgraceful.
There were also those who called Song Chunhua foolish.
Rejecting such a filial son, forcing him to be sold, using the silver to patch up the Song Family's never-ending debts—it seemed as if her time serving as a maid in a wealthy household had addled her brain.
