The village has been gossiping about Xu Xiuqin having a bunch of lovers, and it's not news just from today or yesterday. It's been going around for over twenty years, to the point where people have heard it so much they're sick of it. But the strange thing is, Xu Xiuqin seems to have been involved with so many men, surely she's gained a fair amount of money, so why hasn't she left the poor farmer Shen Lao San yet?
"You guys just don't understand." A daughter-in-law from the same village seems to have figured out Xu Xiuqin's secret, saying, "She might have money, but think about it, could she have invested it somewhere? Then when the business went south, she ended up in debt?"
"That's possible." Quickly, a bunch of people chimed in, agreeing that it could happen, "People say they give her money, then trick her into investing, and then hollow out the money she got."
