Chapter 236 - 237: Forcibly Snatching Food 4
Ma Xiulian slapped her chopsticks onto the table, her voice harsh, "There’s no food on this table for you, and I am not lending you any food either."
Even if she had some surplus food at home, she would rather give it to Xiaobai, instead of feeding the wretched Li family right in front of her.
Dogs had at least a mouth to eat and a tail to wag. The Li family would only think about how to scrape off another layer of their skin and oil.
The old lady Li cursed her parsimony in her heart, but on the surface, she tearfully pleaded, "In-laws, our commune’s food output this year is less than half of last year’s. If we don’t find some food to take home, our family will starve to death. Your commune has such good harvests, you can definitely share some with us! Don’t worry, as long as you lend us some food, we’ll repay you once we have a good harvest next year!"
Ma Xiulian was well aware that the old Chen family had rushed over to borrow food right after they had distributed their rations this morning.
"No!"
Hearing her words, Ma Xiulian treated them as nonsense. With their character, the Li Family borrowing food and actually returning it would be strange indeed!
The old lady Li was taken aback, her face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, "We’ve had a connection of several hundred years and became in-laws this time. This is really out of desperation to come to your house and ask."
Ma Xiulian’s face was full of disgust, as if she had swallowed a fly, "This so-called connection really brought misfortune. To be in-laws with you, I must have had terrible luck eight generations back."
Ma Xiulian spoke without any courtesy, causing the old lady Li’s face to darken in fury, she couldn’t help raising her voice, "Humanity should not be like this, indifferent in the face of death will incur retribution sooner or later. Anyway, we are determined to borrow this food today!"
