Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Going to the Market (Part 1) Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Going to the Market (Part 1) On the first day of the month, the market day, Shen Yunfang had fed the sheep at the production team early in the morning and then set off to find Dashuan’s wife at the Wang Family.

Since there were quite a few people heading to the market on this day, young folks like Shen Yunfang and Dashuan’s wife couldn’t count on the village cart and had to rely on their legs to get there.

It was nearly twenty kilometers from Gaijiatun to the commune, which would take roughly two hours to walk.

Dashuan’s wife had also arranged to meet two other young wives she was friendly with, including Shen Erzhu’s wife and Wang Jianjun’s wife; the four of them walked together on the path leading out of the village.

“Yunfang, did you really have a falling out with Shen Yingxue?” Wang Jianjun’s wife was a cheerful person, and without much effort, became chummy with Shen Yunfang, chatting and gossiping as they walked.

“I wouldn’t say we’ve had a falling out, I just stopped picking wild vegetables for her,” Shen Yunfang considered her words carefully before replying. Although she didn’t want to be taken for a fool, she didn’t want to offend anyone either. They were all from the same village, seeing each other all the time, and if she said something unpleasant and it reached the ears of those concerned, that would only create enmity.

“Oh my, and that’s not a falling out? I bet Shen Dafu and his family are green with envy whenever they see you,” Wang Jianjun’s wife said nonchalantly with a wave of her hand.
