Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Silly Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Silly “Mom, mom, look, Sister Xuexue bought me so many pork lard cakes!” Xiao Gougou shouted while running, looking incredibly happy.
Indeed, for children from the Nong family, where would they get so many snacks usually? Xuexue bought him so many pork lard cakes at once. It would be strange if he wasn’t overjoyed.
“Oh my! You child, how could you accept so many things from someone? These are very precious.”
Auntie Li was startled by the big bag of pork cakes in his arms, and couldn’t believe how generous Xuexue was with her son. She was also very happy.
When they got home, Big Bull unloaded all the grain from the ox cart.
Xuexue had paid for the cart fare, and the ox cart slowly left the front of the Li family home.
The area was crowded with villagers who came to watch the commotion. Seeing Big Bull unloading big and small packages from the cart, they were extremely envious. It seemed that Xuexue’s family had indeed become wealthy, not only building a new house but also buying so many good things to bring back.
“Move aside, move aside, hurry and make way.”
Suddenly, a very arrogant voice rang out from outside the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads to see that it was Old Lady Mo.
The envious among them, knowing that there was excitement to watch, quickly made way, peering inside with eager eyes.
“Xuexue, you girl, what good things have you bought back? Don’t you know to show some filial piety to your grandmother, or are you not afraid of others poking your backbone and calling you unfilial?” Old Lady Mo entered with a rare smile on her face, but the words she spoke were not very pleasant, implying sentence by sentence that her granddaughter Xuexue was unfilial to her, the old lady.
“Grandmother has plenty of grain at home, and our family is almost out of grain. Are you also envious and want to snatch the grain I bought?” Xuexue said coldly.
Caught in front of a large crowd, Old Lady Mo was too embarrassed to say she wanted to snatch the grain. So, with shifty eyes, she shamelessly said, “Last night’s python meat was good. Do you still have any? Hurry up and give me some.”
“Of course, python meat is delicious, it’s two taels of silver per pound.” Mentioning this, Xuexue felt heartbroken. Her hard-earned silver had just slipped through her fingers.
“What did you say, what two taels of silver?” Old Lady Mo looked completely baffled.
“Grandmother, you didn’t know, did you? Today my sister took the python meat to sell in town, and it sold for two taels of silver a pound. How much silver did you all eat from our house last night? How can you have the nerve to come and snatch again today?” Chuner, having left the Mo family, was gradually no longer afraid of Old Lady Mo and spoke out loudly.
Old Lady Mo’s eyes widened. Damn it, the python meat was so expensive. Last night their family also had five to six pounds of snake meat, and it hurt her heart to think they ate so much silver in one meal.
The onlookers were all extremely surprised. They hadn’t realized that the snake meat Xuexue casually distributed last night was so precious. They started whispering among themselves.
“Oh my! Xuexue is really generous, sharing such expensive stuff with us to eat,” said a villager who got some snake meat last night, feeling very grateful.
“Think she really intended to give it to you? She only did it because she didn’t know how expensive the snake meat was. If she knew, she wouldn’t have been willing to give it to you at all. Only fools like you would stand here silly enough to be moved,” said some villagers who hadn’t gotten snake meat, speaking out of envy.
