In the shaded area of the village square, several women were cooling off.
"Hey, did you hear? Those few families sent the food they got from the mountain to Yang's family."
"I heard, and you know what, that Yang family is really something; they even paid them wages."
"Indeed, Aunt Li's family received half a tael of silver, and those people barely worked a few days. If I'd known, I would've gone up the mountain myself."
"Oh, stop it, don't do that kind of mean thing."
"I'm just saying, I can't really do it anyway."
"Hey, do you think their family can really sell that food for a good price?"
"Who knows, it's uncertain. But if they really sell it high, won't those people regret it terribly?"
"Hahaha, you're right, they might."
"Come on, what do they have to regret? They can't sell it themselves, better to earn some wages now and not offend the Yang family."
"You've got a point there."
"I heard Lan Hua's family didn't send the stuff back."
"Hm, this will be interesting."
