"This is truly valuing money over life..." Some villagers said sarcastically, and upon listening closely, it really did sound bitter. How come none of his many sons had struck it rich?
Mrs. Chen hadn't gone far when she heard the villagers discussing her like that, her face flushed with embarrassment and she quickened her pace home. Of course, she still hadn't given up on the idea of asking Xiao Changyi for money.
After all, it was money, money!
As for the villagers' gossip, she took it as nothing more than jealousy over her impending windfall.
As long as she could get money from Xiao Changyi, it wouldn't be him striking it rich, but her!
...
Xiao Changyi returned at noon.
During his trip to the town, not only did he bring back wedding attire and overcoats from Wanbu Pavilion, but he also bought other items needed for the marriage, like red candles and firecrackers.
