Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Filled with Meat Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Filled with Meat Big Bull’s eyes suddenly gleamed as he leaned toward Xuexue, asking with delight, “Wife, are you not deceiving me?”
Big Bull leaned in abruptly, and a unique scent wafted over. Xuexue’s heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help being annoyed with herself for being so easily seduced, her determination so weak. Somewhat angrily embarrassed, she said, “It’s getting late, we should hurry on.”
Having said that, she ignored Big Bull and turned to leave.
Big Bull watched her evidently emotionally stirred yet pretending otherwise, his lips curling into a meaningful smile. It seemed that his wife was indeed interested in him
Old Lady Mo stared at the two bags of glistening rice and flour in the kitchen, her triangular eyes crinkling into a slit, feeling extremely smug. Today’s visit to the old residence hadn’t just served her a feast and left her belly filled with meat, but also reaped a bountiful harvest.
Auntie Sun came over, cautiously saying, “Mother-in-law, I’ll scoop some rice to cook.”
Upon seeing her, the smile on Old Lady Mo’s face instantly vanished as she habitually scolded, “You good-for-nothing hussy, all you ever do is eat, eat, eat without lifting a finger.”
Auntie Sun fumed inwardly, cursing the spiteful old crone. She’d be scolded whether she worked or not. She didn’t know when these miserable days would end! However, powerless within the Mo family, she couldn’t even get Mo Xiaoqiang’s attention, let alone rely on him. Outwardly, she dared not utter a word, pretending to be very obedient.
“Hehe…! Even if I don’t eat, the rest of the family still needs to, right?”
Despite feeling utterly repulsed inside, Auntie Sun managed to force a smile at Old Lady Mo. Indeed, having spent years in the brothel, she had seen all types of people and had learned the art of smooth-talking.
Old Lady Mo glanced at her impatiently, her tone softening slightly, “We’ve just returned from eating at the old residence, everyone’s belly is already full of good food, we’ve had plenty, so no need to cook tonight.”
“Then what will the pigs and chickens at home eat?”
With two pigs and over a dozen chickens at home that needed feeding, what would they be given if no food was cooked? Auntie Sun was immediately put in a difficult position; these animals were Old Lady Mo’s prized possessions, and if anything happened to them, she would definitely not let Auntie Sun off the hook.
“You vile woman, you wouldn’t dream of feeding those animals with these precious goods, would you?” The mere thought ignited Old Lady Mo’s anger again, her triangular eyes fixating upon Auntie Sun menacingly, as if she would tear her apart at the slightest agreement.
“Then what should we feed them?”
Seeing Old Lady Mo looking ready to devour her, Auntie Sun felt a chill down her spine, clueless as to what she had done wrong to provoke the old tyrant. She’d never done farm work before, only after coming to the Mo family had Old Lady Mo forced her to do so.
“You wasteful, good-for-nothing hag, actually considering feeding rice to the animals.” Old Lady Mo was so furious she was practically gasping for air, advancing menacingly and delivering several hard slaps to Auntie Sun…
“Mother-in-law! Why are you hitting me for no reason?” Auntie Sun’s long hair came loose as she covered her swollen face with her hand, extremely indignant.
“Why I hit you, you say! Well, today I’ll make sure you understand,” Old Lady Mo spat out after slapping Auntie Sun a few times, finally feeling a bit of her anger subside. “You foolish woman, not in charge and oblivious to the cost of necessities. During meal times, if you stroll through the village, you’ll see that many families can’t afford to eat white rice, still subsisting on boiled cabbage with steamed buns. You, on the other hand, would feed it to animals, a few slaps are too good for you.”
The more Old Lady Mo spoke, the angrier she became. She raised her hand, ready to strike Auntie Sun again.
