Chapter 908 - 907 Discrimination?
Immediately, someone was displeased: "I say Madam Gu, you’re like a high lantern that lights up others but not yourself! How come you can run to the Song Family to ask for sauce, but we can’t? You run to the Song Family eight times a day, you wouldn’t do it so diligently if there weren’t any benefits? My son saw you sniffing the aroma and running to the Song Family for sauce and bringing it back! Why is it okay for you to ask, but when we do, it’s not?"
"I’m not the one saying this, but Madam Gu, isn’t your eating manner a bit disgraceful? You only want your family to take advantage of the Song Family, eh?"
"Exactly, you can ask, why can’t we? And yet you have the cheek to talk about us!"
...
A group of wives surrounded Madam Gu and started accusing her in a chorus.
Madam Gu was amused and furious: "What are you people worth? You think you can compare to me? I do visit the Song Family often, but I conduct myself righteously and sit firmly! Your brat just saw me carrying sauce back, why didn’t they see me bringing eggs? Do you think I’m as shameless as you, come and take things without asking?"
Behind her, Old Granny Zhang feared the group of wives wouldn’t die from anger, so she shouted loudly: "Even if I give it to Madam Gu for free, I’m willing! I just can’t stand you shameless and shallow-eyed creatures and won’t give it to you!"
After these words, those wives couldn’t stay any longer out of embarrassment. Each of them, holding their bowls angrily, turned their heads and left the Song Family Courtyard.
