Chapter 193 - 195 The Coming of the Big Wind
But Old Lady Li, unabashedly said, "I was here yesterday visiting my in-laws and I’ve even brought a whole basket of chicken eggs."
A whole basket of chicken eggs, she dared to say that with a straight face.
Ma Xiulian rolled her eyes speechlessly – the basket was indeed big, but under the cloth cover, there were only five pitiful eggs and two bunches of vegetables. It looked so poverty-stricken it was embarrassing.
But she couldn’t be bothered to expose the lie - after all, they were meant to be joyous and festive today.
Li Chunshui, the second daughter of the Li family, also brought her two sons to visit relatives. She handed a basket of chicken eggs and several bunches of vegetables to Ma Xiulian, blushing and embarrassed, saying, "To bring Guibao some good luck."
She, as Old Lady Li’s daughter, knew her mother’s character better than anyone.
Seeing a bruise on the corner of Li Chunshui’s eye, Ma Xiulian immediately guessed that her in-laws might have done it to her.
In the end, Old Lady Li was a shameless lowlife who loved to go to her daughters’ in-laws’ house to freeload - she would take advantage of every little thing from any in-law who was just a tad too nice. After all, few would resort to chasing her out with a broom like this.
And once a family got short-changed by her, they’d certainly be unhappy and would take it out on Old Lady Li’s daughters to vent their frustrations.
