Chapter 813: Try scolding if you dare——2
Fortunately, by the time the porridge was half emptied in Tan Yi's mouth as Tan Mo fed her carefully using her own mouth and hands to make the slippery rice gruel go down her daughter's throat, the sound of a drum echoed outside.
Though the ten kids of the Tan and the Xiao family did not understand much, they knew that beating drum meant food which was why they immediately rushed out of the shack, because they were in a hurry they did not see a hunchback woman coming out as well.
The youngest son of Xiao Yu lightly knocked against Old Madam Sun, who looked down at the child who looked ugly in her eyes and cried out, " Ayo! My leg! This little beast bumped into me and caused my leg to start hurting! You demon call your father let me talk with him!"
Huo Ci who was the father of the youngest mer son was immediately upset with what Old Madam Sun said but they were here to seek refugee from the Big River village and could not find trouble with the villagers which was why he did not say anything and simply asked his son to apologise to Old Madam Sun.
But Old Madam Sun was like a woman who was possessed by a greedy ghost when she saw that Huo Ci was lowering his head, she immediately thought that she had a hand over him which was why she opened her mouth and demanded more than half bowls of porridges which was allocated to the Xiao family.
When Hu Pan who stepped out of the shack heard Old Madam Sun's ugly words, his expression turned ugly, he knew that little Xiao Wu did not bump into Old Madam Sun deliberately but that the old woman was acting as if he had taken an ounce of flesh from her.
He opened his mouth to say something but before he could say anything, Old Master Hu rushed out and screamed,
" Old Madam Sun, you old hag! I did not say anything when you ate those rotten corpses but now you are daring enough to open your mouth and ask my grandsons to hand you their food? Why don't you go and ask Yu Dong to give you food? Pei! You are bullying the weak and fearing the strong, aren't you? The food had been allocated by Yu Dong and she was the one who came up with the rule that each family will get a bowl per person. If you have something to complain about then you should go and complain to Miss Yu let's see what she says to your tyranny!"
When Old Madam Sun heard Old Master Hu scolding, she wanted to say something but then Old Madam Hu who could not see her husband getting bullied stepped out and said, " Enough! Do you think that we are not having enough trouble? If you want extra food then ask the women who bring the food why are you stealing from little kids!"
" When did I steal food from little kids, I am simply saying that the priority should be given to those who belong to this village and not someone who came running with their tails tucked between their legs when disaster struck!"
Old Madam Sun's words were very ugly even Xiao Yu whose temper was the most mellowed down could not help but get angry as she glared at the old woman but decided not to say anything for the time being, she and her family only came to live here for less than an hour, in case the fact that she fought with Old Madam Sun was spread all over by others, she will definitely be scolded.
Old Madam Hu pushed her husband aside and then stepped out causing Old Madam Sun who was thin and lanky to take a step behind just as Old Madam Hu sneered, " Listen to me, Old Madam Sun, these kids belong to my family now and if you want to bully them you will have to go through me and let me tell you one thing, I might be old but I am still the same Old Madam Hu who took you down with just one punch when you were young if you dare say another word, you will get this do you understand?"
As she spoke Old Madam Hu raised her hand and clenched her fist showing it to Old Madam Sun who gulped upon remembering the past and then silently took the bowl of porridge before sneaking back inside the shack.
Old Master Hu who saw her sneak scoffed and muttered, ' coward' a bit emboldened by the support that his wife was supporting him.
Of course, he did not lower his voice which caused Old Madam Sun to glare at him but under Old Madam Hu's gaze she did not say anything and simply walked inside.
Once she was gone, Old Madam Hu asked the kids to take their bowls before asking them to drop those bowls in the soapy water after eating such that they will be disinfected.
While Old Madam Hu was taking care of her grandchildren, Old Madam Sun was complaining to Sun Ah Cy, " That Yu Dong, she really does not know what is good and what is not for her, she even accepted that Old Hag Hu's mer sons in the village, if she has so much food why don't she give us all?"
Even though Old Madam Sun was not going hungry, she was not exactly full either. At first, she did not have any complaints but with food coming to her doorstep without her trying to work hard for it, she grew more and more complacent.
Now she not only want a few bowls of porridge but also meat, she had sent the petition to Yu Dong many times but they were all rejected! How can Old Madam Sun not be angry?
She was enraged! So enraged that she wanted to eat at least six bowls of porridge! But she only got one! How aggravating!
