Chapter 369 - Chapter 369 369. Pulling my clothes_1

Chapter 369: 369. Pulling my clothes_1 Chapter 369: 369. Pulling my clothes_1 But Zhang Yanping was puzzled, “Her clothes are all messed up, why doesn’t she hurry home to change?”

Yet, even the usually kind Grandma Wang Lifan let out a cold laugh, “Then you’re underestimating her!”

“Don’t just look at her clutching her clothes now, when she gets to her doorstep and starts cursing and causing a scene, if there’s a man around, no matter how old he is, she’d let go of her clothes in an instant! Young folks like you wouldn’t be able to handle even half of that–go! All you men, get inside!”

Song Tan gasped in shock!

“Is she really that brazen? Isn’t she worried her children will be too ashamed to face anyone in the village?”

“What’s there to worry about?” scoffed Wu Lan, “You’re young and haven’t seen much. There’s always one like her in every ten or eight villages.”

“Besides, why should she worry about her children losing face? Look at her four kids, other than Zhou Maozhu who’s decent, bringing her some rice and noodles during the holidays, do the rest care about her?”

“Some parents, like Zhang Bo, their children are unfilial because they’re not decent people. But some parents truly don’t act like parents, so you can’t blame the children for not caring–it’s just too embarrassing to talk about!”

Wow!

That’s a lot of information.

If this had nothing to do with her family’s Peach Forest watermelon patch, Song Tan would have brought her mother a bowl of sunflower seeds and peeled an apple for Grandma right now!

What a juicy story! It sounded so thrilling!

Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun felt the same.

But what Wang Lifan just described was quite frightening; after all, no man would like to see an old lady’s body!

And if she splashed you with dirty water, even if no one believed it, it would still sound terrible!

So, everybody pushed and shoved, even taking Qiaoqiao with them, and went obediently into the main room. Song Youde even went so far as to latch the door behind them, familiar with the routine.

Seeing the young folks with their cautious yet curious eyes, he too let out a sigh of relief,

“Anyway, when it comes to her, it’s best to close your door early if you want peace!”

Only Qiaoqiao leaned against the door, and timidly added in a small, guilty voice, “Right, Sister… her cursing was so awful, I just put the bucket over her head.”

Song Tan: ……Well done.

But she started to worry, “That’s why our bucket looked dirty today… It isn’t broken, is it?”

That big plastic bucket costs a good ten yuan or more!

“No!”

Qiaoqiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then explained, “I didn’t use much force, just spilled some leftover brans and vegetable soup on her head…”

Oh.

Song Tan looked outside–judging by the old lady’s robust energy and loud cursing now, she was certain there was no damage done.

In fact, Song Tan thought her vitality seemed surprisingly strong? It was quite absurd.

Hearing her curses become clearer and filthier, and not at all slow in pace, Song Tan sighed,

“Doesn’t the village manage her at all, or try to mediate and deal with the situation?”

If she kept this up, it was impossible for no one to hold a grudge.

“How could they not?”

Wu Lan’s eyes nearly rolled back in her head, “Last winter, she snuck out at night to steal someone’s big white cabbages–why, doesn’t everyone have them? She even had her own patch! But she just had to steal!”

“And then, because the roads were icy and cold, she fell and couldn’t get up. If a car passing by hadn’t found her in the middle of the night, who knows if she’d even be with us right now?”

“Guess what? The person in the car woke up late, and was smart, went straight to the villagers’ doors for help, and drove away as soon as someone came. She couldn’t scam them!”

“When she came to, she said the cabbage grower was trying to kill her, and after she fell, she demanded compensation–but only a fool would pay up!”

“And then that old woman went there to curse three times a day. Their son who had just returned home had backbone too, and he called the police immediately,”

Oh boy! The police arrived, and just as they reached the threshold of her door, the old lady began to throw a tantrum, rolling on the ground, insisting that the young policeman had designs on her, sneaking peeks at her with his thief’s eyes…

“She even said, if he didn’t have any ulterior motives, why would he come to her place specifically with so many criminals in the world?”

Well–

Song Tan was utterly shocked!

In the room, Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun were pressing their ears against the door, their eyes wide with amazement!

“Is she really that fierce? Did the police not take her away?”

“Take her away for what?” Song Youde was also unhappy.

“This old woman is 80 this year, shouldn’t they just mediate and educate in these cases? What can they do, get physical? In the end, they had no choice but to call her children.”

“None of the other children took care of it, only Zhou Maozhu was honest, picking up this hot potato… But there was really no other way. They simply locked the gate to the old lady’s courtyard! After it stayed locked for three days without a response, she finally calmed down.”

But it seems… that solution wasn’t very lasting, huh!

Look, it’s only been half a year!

“So, you see…” Wu Lan spoke earnestly and solemnly, “Tantan, don’t take what I said before lightly. If people in the village are reasonable, everything can be discussed. Later on, if our family business grows, it’s only right to help out our fellow villagers.”

“But if you encounter such hot potatoes, you won’t get any good out of spending effort and money; on the contrary, you’d get smeared with stink–beware of people like them!”

Wow. Song Tan felt that all the knowledge from her two lifetimes combined was still too little.

Now she was seriously contemplating how to deal with such hot potatoes.

Meanwhile, outside, the old lady was grabbing her own clothes with one hand, swinging her other arm vigorously, cursing non-stop as she headed towards her house.

With that loud voice, no young person in the village could compare!

But the curses were too foul; Song Tan couldn’t even repeat them.

After a thought, she simply picked up the empty bucket Qiaoqiao had set down, rushed outside the courtyard again, and threatened to throw it at the approaching old lady–

People say elderly folks get muddled with age, but not Zhou Grandma! She was sharp as ever!

Seeing the red bucket about to be dumped in her direction, she stopped her ranting and got straight to the point:

“Lao Song’s family! Look at what your stupid son did to me! He even tore off my clothes!”

Good lord!

Now Song Tan was both angry and amused:

“An old lady like you, we’ll put aside the other outrageous things for now, but accusing Qiaoqiao of stripping your clothes? What would he do with them? Even our pigs would disdain them as bibs!”

Sure enough, Wu Lan exploded with rage:

“Spout your nonsense somewhere else!”

“Zhou Grandma, I usually don’t stoop to your level because of your age! You try slandering my son again and see what happens!”

“How is that slander?!”

Zhou Grandma was not intimidated in the slightest, speaking out with a powerful, self-assured voice:

“I was just walking on the mountain. He came up and pulled on my clothes. Look what he did to my clothes!”

“Is that so?”

Song Tan stood there, looking at the rice bran and vegetable soup stuck in Zhou Grandma’s gray hair and asked, “Then what’s with your head? Did he drag you through a pigsty after pulling your clothes?”

“Nonsense! Our pigs wouldn’t even glance at someone like you!”
