Chapter 204 - 204 197 Rumors

?Chapter 204: Chapter 197 Rumors Chapter 204: Chapter 197 Rumors Days kept passing by at a leisurely pace, Shen Yunfang busied herself every day with the future prospects of her family’s livelihood, completely unaware that someone was plotting against her at the same time.

At Shen Erbo’s house in Gaijiatun.

“Just tell me, does your niece have any conscience at all? Back in the day, she and her mother were always reaching out to us for help. After her mother passed away, she would come over to our house every few days to scrounge for a meal. I, playing the role of the generous second aunt, would always indulge her, providing her with the best I had to offer. I was good to her, wasn’t I? But look at what’s happening now. She’s living a good life, and her household is raising all those chickens, yet she wouldn’t even let people like us know, for fear I might eat into her share.” The second aunt sat at the head of the traditional heated brick bed, starting to complain to her husband.

This very morning, when she went out visiting neighbors, she happened to overhear a huge piece of gossip—Shen Yunfang was silently raising a considerable number of chickens at home. They said the reason Shen Yunfang, who used to never lock her door, was now keeping it locked was because she had too many chickens, more than she could accommodate. Fearing that the chickens might escape, she started locking the door every day.

At first, the second aunt was somewhat skeptical, knowing full well that the words passed from one old lady’s mouth to another couldn’t be taken entirely at face value. Even when she herself spread rumors, they were often embellished, and by the time a story passed through several mouths, it would become unrecognizable. So usually, she didn’t take such gossip seriously. It was, after all, someone else’s business—whether it was true or false didn’t really matter to her, and she would treat it as a joke. But today they were talking about her own niece, which also made it her family business, and they mentioned it with great conviction, saying that this information had come directly from old Li’s family in Taoshu Village. This detail made the second aunt’s heart skip a beat.
