Early the next day, Song Tingfan placed the three ducklings by the riverbank, fed them some duck food, and squatted there watching them for quite a while.
The ducklings must be fattened up a bit; the fatter they are, the more silver coins they can fetch when sold.
Opposite was the Li Family's duck group. Mrs. Li came out to feed her ducks, seeing that he had taken the spot.
Actually, he hadn't taken it at all; she just couldn't stand the Song's second family. Unhappily, she pointed at him and said, "Move down, we need to use this spot."
Song Tingfan looked up at her; the river ditch was not big but not small either, and the two duck pens didn't affect each other. "You have plenty of space over there."
Mrs. Li had no patience with the Song's second family, especially that Widow Song, who just annoyed her. Seeing that he wasn't listening, she angrily said, "Stop with the nonsense, move down quickly, or I'll tip yours over."
