Dressed Like a Cute Little Lucky Bag Chapter 219
Chapter 219 Everyone Comes to Borrow Food 3
Ma Xiu Lian’s vaccination was too timely, because early the next morning, Old Lady Li came directly to borrow food.
Her old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and she called out affectionately, "Hey, mother-in-law, who made you so upset? Why are you so sullen so early in the morning?"
Ma Xiu Lian said unhappily, "How can I be in a good mood when I see you coming?"
When Li Chunhua in the room heard her mother's voice, she quickly tiptoed and locked the door.
Old Mrs. Li said shamelessly, "Didn't Chunhua give birth to another big fat grandson for your Chen family? As a grandmother, I will definitely come to see him."
Ma Xiu Lian was too lazy to waste words with her: "Your daughter is in the room, go and see if you want, and leave as soon as you are done."
The smile on Mrs. Li's face froze for a moment, but then returned to normal: "I came here not only for this matter, but also to discuss another matter with my in-laws. Look at your harvest this year--"
"Don't bother asking for food. I don't have any extra food to lend."
Before Mrs. Li could finish her words, Ma Xiu Lian interrupted her.
"My dear, you can't do such a thing at this time, can you?" Old Lady Li shouted exaggeratedly and cried miserably, "The harvest in the fields is not good this year, and we have more than a dozen people in our family, waiting for food. If you have a lot of grain at home, please lend us some, and I will definitely pay it back next year."
Ma Xiulian rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "Your Li family is hungry, but it has nothing to do with our Chen family!"
"My dear relatives, you can't be so unkind. Aren't you pushing our whole family to death?"
Old Mrs. Li raised her voice deliberately so that the neighbors could hear her clearly.
Her shouting did indeed call out several neighbors who were watching, but when they saw that she was the one being beaten, their expressions of gloating turned into gloating. Only Old Lady Song, who was not on good terms with Ma Xiulian, did not mind the big deal and helped Old Lady Li speak up: "Ma Xiulian, the girl just gave birth to a big fat grandson for you these two days, why can't you lend her some food?"
Ma Xiulian immediately retorted: "It's easy to talk when you're standing. Why didn't you lend the money to your in-laws when they came to your house yesterday? If you were so kind, I would call your in-laws over to get the food."
Mrs. Song stopped talking immediately. Taking a grain of rice from her would be like cutting her flesh!
Ma Xiulian was completely impatient: "As for borrowing grain, even a grain of rice is impossible! If you understand what I mean, get out of here quickly and don't force me to do anything again."
Seeing that she refused to give in, Old Lady Li yelled at Li Chunhua: "Chunhua, my daughter, please come out and see what kind of family you married into? You actually watched your loved ones starve to death!"
Li Chunhua pretended not to hear anything and didn't say anything or go out.
After shouting for a while without any response, Old Lady Li immediately became angry and started to curse: "You heartless girl, you have food and drink here, and people serve you, but you have a comfortable life and you have completely forgotten your parents and brothers! If I had known that you were an ungrateful person, I should not have given birth to you!"
The curses outside became louder and louder. Li Chunhua began to hesitate and feel scared, but when she looked at her son beside her, she immediately felt confident.
She has two sons now, so as long as she doesn’t make a big mistake, her mother-in-law can’t send her back to her parents’ home!
Ma Xiulian just watched her scolding coldly, and didn’t say anything to stop her, until Mrs. Li got tired of scolding and her mouth was dry.
"Just get out of here when you're done cursing."
Ma Xiu Lian turned around and was about to go back into the house, but Old Lady Li grabbed her arm and said, "I don't care, you have to lend us food, otherwise our family of more than a dozen people will starve to death."
