Chapter 168 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Conversation

Mrs. Lai felt such heartache, clutching her chest as if she had a piece of flesh cut from her.

Hongji saw this and sighed to himself. He had thought the same thing, but those were officials and people from wealthy families, and it wasn't his place to comment!

Now that his wife mentioned it in front of him, all he could say to her was,

"You are just a woman with long hair but short of experience. What status do those people have? The smallest official is the village chief. Today, you were fortunate to meet officials above the level of village chief from the county. You probably won't have any regrets in your life about this. It's good publicity for our estate. Besides, our estate has so much fruit and vegetables. If we didn't get the silver, then so be it!"

"Dad, that's easy for you to say, but seeing that crisp silver slip away is truly painful."

Mrs. Lai sighed again and rambled on for a while, talking about her own worries, ignoring her daughter who was lost in thought.
