When Wang Yongzhu arrived at the Song Family, Lizheng had assigned a few men from the village to guard the entrance.
The main gate of the Song Family was tightly shut, and the neighboring houses had also closed their doors firmly, with not a single soul in sight.
Upon seeing Wang Yongzhu, the men, apparently acting on Lizheng's orders, simply saluted without asking questions and opened the Song Family's gate for her.
Wang Yongzhu went in, and Wang Yongping also intended to follow her inside but was stopped by Wang Yongzhu's outstretched hand.
"Fourth Brother, just stay here at the door, chat with the gentlemen. I'll go in and take a quick look then come out."
Wang Yongping complied and started chatting with the men guarding the door.
Having been in business for several years, he was adept at engaging with these men.
Wang Yongzhu entered the courtyard, where Old Granny Zhang was sitting in the middle, being accompanied by a few other women for a chat.
