Compared to the liveliness of East Village, West Village was exceptionally deserted today.
Quite a few people had sneaked over to the area near Jiang Sanlang's house in East Village, peeking at how they were selling golden mushrooms.
They saw the residents of East Village bringing bucket after bucket of golden mushrooms, then grabbed handfuls of copper coins and returned with smiles stretching across their faces.
Some were even comparing the size of their silver ingots as they walked, their complacency causing the people of West Village to grind their teeth in envy.
As they were staring wide-eyed in surprise, the villagers of East Village noticed them. They immediately came over to confront: "What are you doing here? Acting so sneaky, are you planning something bad again?"
The people of West Village awkwardly replied: "We were just passing by."
