Lanzhi was quite concerned about what kind of sister-in-law she would have in the future. The whole ten miles and eight villages were spreading rumors that the sister-in-law was quarrelsome and had a good relationship with the divorced Qi Mei,
so she learned all the bad things but none of the good ones.
Lanzhi didn't believe it. The folks of the Sheng family were so honest, how could they possibly raise someone so extreme? So, she made a special trip to the town and even bought some bean sprouts. It was crowded at the time, and the young girl probably didn't notice. But she took it to heart, this little girl was truly wonderful!
In the dead of winter, buying bean sprouts in the chilly open-air market was not easy. The fresh, tender bean sprouts were scooped out of the water, and her hands, frozen like radishes, didn't make a peep.
