Xuexue raised the broom in her hand, “Pah! What kind of grandmother are you, one who would kick her granddaughter out without even giving her food? Aren’t you ashad to admit it? Just because the Mo family is slightly better off now, you’ve beco envious, haven’t you?”
Old Lady Mo was sowhat afraid of Xuexue; this girl could be utterly heartless when angry. Thus, she turned to Big Bull and lanted, “Big Bull, I am Xuexue’s grandmother, her real grandmother. Is it right for her to treat
this way?”
To her surprise, Big Bull was completely unsympathetic and said, “I know, but it was you who had no concern for family ties and drove her and her mother out of the Mo family. I’ve heard that when they left, all the grain they had were a few bags of sweet potatoes, and half of them were rotten. You really are a ‘good’ grandmother.”
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mo imdiately shrieked in retort, “Big Bull, don’t listen to the nonsense those gossiping old hags spout. When we divided the family property, I clearly gave them a big bag of rice, you can ask Xuexue if you don’t believe .”
Whenever Old Lady Mo thought about the incident of Xuexue taking a bag of pure white rice from her, her heart would still ache.
To her dismay, Xuexue replied coldly, “No.”
Old Lady Mo was completely dumbfounded, “You shaless girl, how can you lie without blushing?”
Xuexue thought to herself, she had fought to get those grains back by her own efforts; when had Old Lady Mo ever given her a single grain of rice?
Realizing that it was already noon, the mason masters needed to hurry and eat and take a rest, or they would delay the afternoon’s work.
“Alright, since you are Xuexue’s real grandmother, please step aside and don’t hold up the masters from eating. They’ve been doing hard labor all morning and are already exhausted. Don’t make a ss here,” Big Bull said, as he pulled her up from the stool without any reservation.
“But, I… I…!”
Old Lady Mo’s eyes were glued to the steaming dish of pork on the table, and it pained her to see it moving farther away.
Seeing her drooling with longing, everyone knew she wanted so at.
“Auntie Li, scoop her a bowl of rice and give her so vegetables; let her squat on the side and eat,” Big Bull said, turning his head to a woman cooking nearby.
The woman, reluctantly, replied, “Okay.”
Old Lady Mo’s eyes lit up imdiately when she heard Big Bull, and her mouth cracked into a smile.
However, before she could revel in her joy, she heard Xuexue say coldly, “Grandmother, we don’t even have enough rice for everyone; better you go ho and eat.”
Old Lady Mo’s smile froze.
The woman, holding a large spoon, wasn’t sure whether to scoop the at for Old Lady Mo.
Xuexue took the spoon from her hand, placed it on the table, and told the woman, “Auntie, you guys go ahead and eat, and pay her no mind; there’s still a lot of work to do in a while.”
The woman, who also disliked Old Lady Mo, was glad to hear Xuexue’s words and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes.”
The duck at her lips flew away!
Old Lady Mo was almost mad with rage, pointing at Xuexue, “You… you unfilial girl, how can you be so disrespectful? I’m your grandmother, what’s wrong with
eating a piece of your at?”
Xuexue, “I don’t want to, it hurts
to.”
Old Lady Mo, turning to the working villagers, challenged, “You don’t hurt to see them eat, but it pains you if I do?”
Xuexue nodded and said, “Exactly, I wouldn’t hurt giving it to a dog, but giving it to you, that pains .”
Old Lady Mo was so angry she wanted to hit Xuexue, but with Big Bull watching nacingly beside her, she didn’t dare. In the end, she could only walk away, dejected.
