Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma kept saying bad words, and that made everyone else also laugh. They all started to gossip loudly.
Ms. Fang was so furious inside her heart but she said calmly, "Don't worry, sisters-in-law, the spring was discovered a couple of days ago, and it is still running right now."
Ms. Ma snorted and said timidly, "I am just reminding you out of kindness."
Ms. Fang showed a falsed smile. "Oh, thank you very much for the reminder!"
Ms. Ma. "…"
The spring remained active, no matter how much the outsiders expected it to run dry.
The work was done in the evening.

Soon the soil and sand were all filtered through, and the water filled up the pool, clear and clean.
