Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune-Chapter 116

115, Making a Scene (2nd Update)

They called it a kitchen, but it was just a shack with a stove and eating area underneath, a large iron pot, not very big, but very clean. On a wooden table to the side, there were two bowls of crabs.

“Wow, these crabs look good!” exclaimed the old lady.

Dumb Dad hurriedly said, “Grandma, the child’s mother and I were saying, we should send a bowl of crabs over for Dad to enjoy with his drink!”

“A bowl?” the old lady raised an eyebrow, “How will one bowl be enough? There are so many people in the house, they’ll be gone with one chopstick per person. Since you mentioned paying respect to your parents, I’ll take both bowls and give some to your nephews to satisfy their cravings!”

Dumb Dad was immediately anxious.

At the door, Dumb Dad’s three brothers and their younger sister’s eyes reddened.

Dumb Mom hurriedly whispered, “Grandma, these are from Miss Xie for the children, taking all of them might not be right!”

“Oh,” the old lady scoffed, “I’m telling you, this is the Yuan Family’s business, and it’s not your place to speak. I’m telling you that I’m definitely taking these two bowls of crabs today, and also, your dad and I are out of money. Give us five taels of silver for expenses!”

Dumb Mom, upon hearing this, had her eyes turn red with anger.

Dumb Dad was too stunned to say a word.

“You dare!” shouted the youngest sister, “If you dare to take all the crabs, I’ll fight you to the death!”

Dumb Dad’s three brothers also stood up in unison, glaring angrily at the old lady.

The old lady, taken aback by the youngest sister’s shout, felt her authority challenged. “You little wench, you’re turning the world upside down!” she yelled.

She stood up, raising her hand to strike the youngest sister.

The youngest sister dodged in fright. Dumb Dad stepped forward and bumped into the old lady, pointing at her and shouting frantically as his face turned beet red.

The old lady, jolted by the bump, fell into a rage, and sat down on the ground, crying and yelling, “Oh, Lord Almighty, this mute is trying to kill his grandma! Oh, Lord, why don’t you strike him dead with a lightning bolt, wipe out this vile creature!”

There were people on the wall watching the commotion, neighborhood children.

They were calling their parents over to watch.

Dumb Dad was shaking with anger…

Dumb Mom looked at her son full of rage, her pitiful daughter.

Suddenly, she exploded.

She grabbed the crabs and slammed them down in front of the old lady, “Eat! Take it and eat. You’re so greedy, aren’t you afraid of bursting?”

In an instant, the old lady forgot her crying and wailing, stunned and shocked.

Dumb Mom also burst into tears, “Over the years, how many of the eggs from the chickens I’ve raised have I eaten? All went into your stomachs. How many of the chickens have our family eaten? Either sold or taken to pay respect to you during the New Year. You bully our family, despise the children I bore…”

“Yuan Amu, say something today. Are you going to protect us, or continue to watch your own mother torture us like this? If you don’t speak up now, we will pack our belongings and go beg!”

Dumb Dad was stunned.

But he firmly stood by his mother’s side.

His other two sons and younger sister also stood by Mom’s side.

Showing their support for their own mother through their actions.

Yuan Amu was petrified.

His wife had smashed a bowl and made such harsh accusations, and he stammered, uncertain of what to do.

But seeing Mom cry her eyes out,

The children looked at him hopelessly, recalling the years of demands and insults from his parents.

He suddenly grew a backbone, “Mom, you should go back. When you split the household, you didn’t give me anything, and said that you didn’t need me to support you when you grew old. I hope you’ll keep your word!”
