"The brat who saved Su Xiaotian is a son of a bitch from the black category. He doesn't even consider if he's worthy of such a precious thing as candy. Mother, it's not that I'm saying this, but if people like that get close, they'll bring trouble upon themselves."
The more Su Manxiang spoke, the more she felt she was making sense. She couldn't just stand by and watch her maternal family get into trouble, as it would implicate her too.
"Mother, you're old now, you can't be muddled. Even if you don't consider yourself, don't you consider your nephews in the family?"
Su Manxiang's words were delivered with great righteousness, as if she were truly considering her maternal family.
"How did I teach you? One must be grateful. How could you say such a thing? That's Xiaotian's savior!" Grandma Su's face hardened completely. "I think you shouldn't wait for dinner. Drink some water and hurry back to your own home. Don't be an eyesore here."
"Mother, since you won't let me eat at home, give me half of the meat you bought yesterday, and I'll leave immediately." Su Manxiang spoke without any politeness, demanding it as if it were her right.
"Why don't you take it all?" Grandma Su looked at Su Manxiang in disbelief. "Is it okay if I give you all three catties of meat?"
Su Manxiang didn't grasp the meaning behind Grandma Su's words, only hearing that her mother said she would give her three catties of meat.
She said excitedly, "Mother, you can give it all to me? That's too good. Mother, you don't know, our family is having a difficult year, and the children haven't eaten meat for some time."
As she spoke, Su Manxiang also said to her children, "Aren't you going to thank your maternal grandmother quickly? Look, it's Grandma who cares about you, thinking of you when she has something good."
Su Xiaotian was almost amused to tears. Was her paternal aunt a fool? How could she not understand what was good and bad?
Grandma Su was also extremely weary. Her daughter was also raised by her, so why was she so different from her other children?
"Eat meat, and be happy to your heart's content. Hurry up and leave, I still have to go to work, and the whole family is waiting for food and drink." Grandma Su waved her away, not even wanting her to drink a sip of water.
"Mother, where's the meat?" Su Manxiang still looked at Grandma Su with hope, waiting to take the meat home.
If she ate it here, her husband wouldn't get a single bite, which would be too much of a loss. Eating it at home with the whole family would be more delicious.
"Meat? Do you want me to cut off a piece from your old mother? Does my large family not have mouths to eat? When there's something good, you expect me to give it to you?" Grandma Su was practically chasing her away with a broom.
"It's eaten?" Su Manxiang finally understood this time.
"Eaten!"
"Mother, that's three catties of meat, how could it be eaten in one meal? You must be lying to me!"
Joking aside, Su Manxiang wouldn't believe for a second that her mother ate three catties of meat in one meal. Her mother wasn't like that.
Let alone three catties of meat, even three qian of meat, her mother could refine oil from it and eat for a month!
"With so many people, one bite each, and the three catties of meat are gone!" Grandma Su said with annoyance.
"Mother, if you don't let your sisters-in-law give it to me, I'll find it myself!"
Su Manxiang absolutely refused to believe it and started rummaging around the room.
"Mom, I want to eat meat, you promised me I could eat meat." Kang Zhonghua tugged at Su Manxiang's clothes, making a fuss.
Kang Zhonghua was Su Manxiang's youngest son, five years old. By this time, he had understood that his maternal grandmother said the meat was gone.
Thinking of meat, his mouth watered uncontrollably.
He had been able to walk all the way here because he could eat meat. But his maternal grandmother said it was all eaten, and he felt angry no matter how he thought about it.
Kang Zhonghua was doted on by Su Manxiang and her husband. Although he was only five, he was very unreasonable.
"You owe me meat, who told you to eat my meat? Is it you? Su Xiaotian, it must be you, I hate you the most!" Kang Zhonghua arrogantly rushed towards Su Xiaotian, intending to kick her.
He also cursed, "Su Xiaotian, you dead girl, why don't you just die? If you die, the meat will all be mine!"
Although Kang Zhonghua was a boy, he was two years younger. Seeing him rush over, Su Xiaotian skillfully dodged him.
However, the last bit of smile on her face disappeared.
Kang Zhonghua, at such a young age, why did he harbor such deep hostility towards her? It must be because the adults talked too much, and the children remembered it?
No wonder Kang Meihua could push her into the river. It seemed that it wasn't just Su Xiaoqin's credit, but her aunt also played a significant role.
Kang Zhonghua was young and a chubby boy. He didn't control his strength and fell to the ground.
When Su Manxiang saw her son fall to the ground, she was heartbroken and immediately rushed over to slap Su Xiaotian.
"You dead girl, how can you be so vicious? Your brother is only a few years old, and you're bullying him like this!"
Su Manxiang glared fiercely at Su Xiaotian, then pulled her son up from the ground and patted him gently.
Su Xiaotian was caught off guard and slapped to the ground by Su Manxiang.
She didn't expect that Su Manxiang, an adult, would still lay hands on a child.
Did she have any shame?
People often say that a tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame is invincible in the world. Her aunt was probably that invincible person without shame.
"I only have brothers, no younger brother!" Su Xiaotian said coldly as she sat on the ground.
"What did you say? Mother, listen to this dead girl, what is she saying?" Su Manxiang immediately cried out heartbrokenly, looking so wronged that anyone who didn't know would think Su Xiaotian had done something unforgivable.
Grandma Su saw her granddaughter pushed to the ground and was extremely distressed. She hurried forward to pull her granddaughter up, but Liang Xiu had already rushed over and picked Su Xiaotian up.
"Tian'er, are you hurt? Tell me, where does it hurt?" Liang Xiu asked repeatedly.
"She's just a lowly girl, is she that precious?" Su Manxiang said dismissively, showing no remorse.
"We have ten children in the old Su family, and Xiaotian is the youngest. She doesn't have a younger brother, so her words are not wrong."
Grandma Su was also angered by her daughter and didn't say anything nice.
Su Manxiang had always been invincible in her maternal home, but she didn't expect to be wronged. She immediately started making a scene.
"Su Manxiang, you hit my Tian Bao today. If you don't want to be hit, get out quickly." Liang Xiu's eyes turned red. She placed Su Xiaotian on the kang and stood in front of Su Manxiang, saying,
"What? You dare to hit me? Is this how a sister-in-law should behave?" Su Manxiang was used to being overbearing and was not afraid of Liang Xiu at all.
However, Liang Xiu actually slapped her. Before anyone could react, a crisp sound of a slap was heard, followed by Su Manxiang's sharp curses.
"You damned Liang Xiu, how dare you hit me!"
"I hit you because I wanted to. You didn't pick a good day, so why blame me?" Liang Xiu thought of her precious daughter being hit by Su Manxiang, and of course, she couldn't stand it.
