Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Exchange for Eggs (2)_1

As soon as Grandma Miao heard, her eyes settled on the plate of bamboo rat meat on their table; she immediately felt some dissatisfaction in her heart. Were they supposed to exchange her few pieces of old rat meat for their eggs!?

Lady Zhu was almost bursting with anger too; she hadn’t expected that after lowering herself to come over with a bowl, even if she wouldn’t get a full bowl, at least a good half. But she got nothing, and it was as if slaps were being thrown in her face.

Pei Wenbo’s eyes were red with anger; he wanted to eat meat! He just wanted to eat meat!

Lady Zhu’s eyes, sharp as needles, stabbed toward Lady Fang.

Lady Fang, although not seated, hung her head and didn’t look at her.

Si Ya, with her mouth full of meat, said nothing about sharing. They had split from the family and it was hard enough to earn some money to feed themselves. The main house had secretly saved so much silver, yet still came to ask for their property!

Seeing that even the usually obedient and sweet-tongued Si Ya remained silent, Lady Zhu, in front of Grandma Miao, struggled to keep face and make a scene and was also afraid that Pei Qin might actually hit her too. Holding the bowl and dragging Wenbo, she left. "Let’s go! Grandma will fry you an egg at home! Tomorrow I’ll have your father cut some meat for you to eat!"

Pei Wenbo was unwilling, whining and reluctant to leave, "I just want to eat meat..."

Seeing them leave, Lady Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Miao was watching as several pieces disappeared from the plate and wanted to say something else.

Pei Qin’s eyes turned toward her.

Grandma Miao had never faced such a confrontation but still smiled, showing her teeth, "You, grandma, interrupted, and I couldn’t even taste a thing. Give me a few more pieces; tomorrow my family will also go up the mountain to catch some!"

Si Ya’s gaze immediately turned cold as she stared at her, "You already ate two pieces, why should we give you more!?"

"We’re all folks from the same village, what’s the problem with tasting bamboo rat meat!? I’m still your aunty!" Grandma Miao said somewhat displeased, stepping forward.

"Indeed we are all villagers, but my family doesn’t have eggs to eat. Aunty Miao, as fellow villagers, why don’t you give us some eggs!" In Pei Qin’s house, sponging off others simply wasn’t an option.

Grandma Miao’s face stiffened as she looked at Lady Fang.

One only squeezes the soft persimmon. Lady Fang kept silent.

Si Ya was blunt, "Right, Aunty Miao! You just ate meat from our house, and we haven’t even had a sip of water from yours. As fellow villagers, give us a few eggs for the meat you ate!"

"My chickens haven’t laid eggs!" Grandma Miao said irritably and lifted her foot to leave.

Si Ya quickly followed her out and bolted the wattle gate behind her as she exited.

A few steps away, Grandma Miao turned back to glance and spat out a curse, "It’s just a couple of pieces of rat meat, and you still want my eggs, cheap slutty wild brat! Dream on! If you riffraff can catch them, can’t we?"

Si Ya, still irate, returned to the house fuming about the ’slutty old woman.’

"The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the reckless, the reckless fear the death-defying! Being a soft persimmon is easy, but you’ll just be squeezed and turned to mush!" Pei Qin bit into her meat with large bites, only munching a bit at a time. She would eat this mixed grain for at most another month; she had to switch to white, fine food!

Lady Fang took a deep breath, "Mother understands! Mother won’t be a soft persimmon again! For you kids, mother will no longer be a soft persimmon!"

"Good girl! Eat up!" Pei Qin grinned at her, showing her teeth.

Lady Fang was torn between laughing and crying, "You, girl, who are you calling a good girl!"

"I’m good!" Pei Wendong said softly. His older sister had said that as long as he was good, she would buy him sugar and meat!

Pei Qin laughed and freed a hand to pat his little head, "Tomorrow I’ll take you to the market!"

Before Wendong could get Happy, Si Ya jumped up, shouting angrily, "Spending money again!?"
