If it was the usual way of borrowing rice, it will be according to a bucket size. 1 bucket or 2 buckets, but thinking about the big cart of grains they brought back. They must have bought 5 to 6 stone meters of grains, so Old Lady Bai extended a finger: “One stone meter, just one stone meter of grain.”

Bai Zhi almost couldn’t laugh out loud. Just borrowing one stone meter? Those words can easily come out from her mouth? This old lady’s face was getting thicker and thicker.

Zhao Lan couldn’t help but worry: “One stone meter? No, we can’t let you, just leave.”

Mrs. Liu became anxious and said: “Why can’t you? We heard that Bai Zhi brought back a big cart of grains from the town today. So how could that be?”

Zhao Lan’s face sank and said: “I said no, so it’s no. Can’t you understand?” She knows the Bai Family too well.  Once they let them borrow today, they will also come to borrow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. They will come again and again.

They will get the most out of it. She used to endure because she doesn’t want to irritate them, but they took advantage of it. They even treated her daughter badly.

Right now, her anger hasn’t dissipated, but they’re making it intensify, so she will not endure.

Old Lady Bai got angry, she pointed her finger to Zhao Lan and said: “What did you say? No? You heartless bitch! This old lady raise you, mother and daughter for 10 years, for 10 whole years! But now that this old lady comes to you to borrow some rice, you’re saying no?!”

Zhao Lan’s eyes turned cold, her cold eyes swept over Old Lady Bai’s face. Her cold eyes were like a sharp knife that really wanted to cut the old lady’s thick face.

“You raise us, mother and daughter? Did we, mother and daughter eat rice for a day in your Bai Family? Sanzhu’s mourning day hasn’t passed, but I’m already working out in the field. Zhi’er was only 3 years old by then, but you’re already pushing her to work at home. You said you raise us, did we, mother and daughter ever eaten a complete meal or have a warm blanket during winter?”

Whether it was spring, summer, autumn or winter. She and Bai Zhi will only use a thin old blanket that the main house could no longer be used. During winter, the two of them will spend the night trembling in their very old wooden house.

Old Lady Bai was stunned. This woman who she always had taken for granted was obviously not the same.

“So what? Niang is your mother-in-law, you shouldn’t be so ungrateful.” Mrs. Liu said.

“Mother-in-law?” Zhao Lan sneered, as her eyes immediately redden: “You ask her, did she ever think of me as her daughter-in-law? Or as your Bai Family’s cattle and horse?”

“If I am a daughter-in-law, will she beat my daughter to death when I’m not at home? If I am a daughter-in-law, will she sold my daughter in secrecy?”

These things, she doesn’t want to say it, she doesn’t want to mention it, but they always come out in front of her and remind her of these sad past events, constantly rubbing salt to her wounds.

Old Lady Bai’s face deeply sank, but still said: “Why still mention about the past? Aren’t you two, mother and daughter living a good life now? If I didn’t agree for you two to separate, can you live like this today? This is the so-called when you drink the water, think of those who dug the well. It happened out my kindness, but you don’t know how to return the favor?”

The more they open their mouth, the more Zhao Lan couldn’t help but get angry. In the end, she pointed her finger at the door and said: “You go, I don’t want to see you again.”

Old Lady Bai wanted to open her mouth again, but Bai Zhi stood in front of her mother and revealed a slight smile on her face, then she crossed her arms. Her actions were very similar to Hu Feng.

“Didn’t you hear what my niang had said? Or you simply can’t understand human words?”
