Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Pig’s Trotter Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Pig’s Trotter Xuexue took strides forward, looked at the full basin of food in Old Lady Mo’s hands, and couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, thinking how this old lady really dared to go all out for the sake of so food, not even caring about losing face in such a public setting.
Several won sighed in relief as soon as they saw Xuexue approaching; Old Lady Mo was too difficult to deal with, and they were sowhat unable to cope.
“Grandmother, what are you doing?” Xuexue pushed passed a few won gently and confronted Old Lady Mo, coldly scrutinizing her.
“Xuexue, you are just in ti, take a look at these foul won. They have no sense of propriety at all. What’s wrong if this old woman takes so at? I am your own grandmother, and they dare block . Hurry up and tell them off; their behavior is outrageous, really,” Old Lady Mo burst into complaints as soon as she saw Xuexue, acting as if the wrongdoer was not her.
A little bit of at? It added up to several dozens of kilograms, and several won felt very unjust about it.
Seeing their hesitance to speak, Xuexue waved her hands at them, indicating she already understood the situation.
“Grandmother, look, the neighbors are still eating, they haven’t finished yet, and you’ve taken dozens of kilograms off at all at once. What will happen if there’s not enough left for them to eat?”
“If there isn’t enough, they can go back ho and eat their own food. After all, this is the Mo family’s at. I decide how much I take, why should I give it to those wretched paupers!” Old Lady Mo shalessly justified her actions.
Xuexue coldly smiled and said, “Grandmother, what are you saying? Our Xie family is hosting a feast, inviting all the neighbors around. How has it beco the Mo family’s?”
“What Xie family?” Old Lady Mo looked confused. “You are a descendant of our Mo family.”
“My mother is a woman who was divorced by her husband; now that she has her own household, it’s only natural we use her surna.”
“That wretched woman, how dare she!”
Old Lady Mo’s face turned fierce. Now that Madam Xie had beco wealthy, she was thinking about making her reconcile with Mo Xiaoqiang.
Xuexue: “Whether my mother dares or not is not for Grandmother to decide. We have a household registration, and even if it went to the Yan, we have all the proof.”
As soon as Xuexue ntioned this, Old Lady Mo regretted letting them leave the Mo family and escaping her control. They had beco wealthy, yet it had nothing to do with the Mo family now, causing the Mo family to lose out on so much silver for nothing.
“Your father even said he wants to reconcile with your mother, and you’re still talking about setting up your own household?” Old Lady Mo switched her tone of speaking.
“What have you all taken my mother for? To divorce her when you please and reconcile when you find it convenient? Don’t think too highly of yourselves; he wants to reconcile, but my mother might not agree,” Old Lady Mo said condescendingly, and Xuexue beca infuriated.
“You’re just a little girl; what do you know? I can’t be bothered to discuss this with you. I’ll talk to your mother about it later.” Having said this, Old Lady Mo carried the basin full of at and started walking away.
Xuexue stepped forward to intercept her. “Grandmother, you’re old, and your arms and legs aren’t what they used to be. You shouldn’t be carrying so much. Wait a bit and if you fall, it’d be a waste of silver to see the doctor.”
“What, you’re distressed about your Grandmother eating a bit of your at?” Old Lady Mo, disregarding anything else, shouted loudly, drawing the attention of all the villagers around who were eating.
With a smile on her face, Xuexue also spoke loudly: “Grandmother, what are you saying? It’s not about a few pieces of at, but about you taking so much in one go. It will spoil if not finished, right? I can bring so to you tomorrow.” Saying this, she snatched the basin from her hands, leaving down two chickens and the pork trotters, leaving only a small amount of braised pork inside.
