Chapter 159: Displaced Anger
She avoided having her daughter do too much work because she feared her destructive capabilities were too powerful; she worried that their home tools and such wouldn’t be able to withstand her havoc.
As her daughter grew older, she increasingly cautioned her not to exert too much strength in front of others and cajoled her by saying she was born under a lucky star and was meant to live a life of luxury. Why would she need to do any rough work?
Indeed, her daughter took these words to heart. As she grew up, she noticed that although her daughter was gluttonous and lazy, the natural strength she’d had since childhood seemed to have disappeared.
Moreover, the girl herself seemed to have completely forgotten about her unusual strength. Whenever asked to do something, she’d complain of pain in her hands, back, and head—everywhere really.
Anyone else would have gotten angry, wondering what was the use of raising such a daughter, but Old Granny Zhang was thrilled. She could finally rest easy, her daughter was just an ordinary person. Maybe that great strength was just due to her healthy growth as a child, resulting from her random thrashing about, perhaps?
Time passed, and she’d fully convinced herself that her daughter was just like everyone else. Even when her daughter had a tantrum and trashed their room last time, Old Granny Zhang remained extraordinarily calm. Since the kang bed wasn’t destroyed, she was deeply grateful, and almost wanted to stew an Egg in celebration for her daughter.
But Wang Daxiu, that wretched woman, caused such a commotion, the girl’s divine strength was forced out again.
What a mess!
Old Granny Zhang wished she could drag Wang Daxiu over for a good thrashing to vent her anger.
On one hand, she was worried; her daughter was grown up now, and those old excuses wouldn’t work anymore.
On her way to catch a chicken, Old Granny Zhang was fretting about how to explain things to her daughter, when her daughter, unable to contain her impatience, asked first.
