Chapter 193: Chapter 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.

Ma Xiulian accepted the basket, managed a smile, and let Li Chunshui sit down and have some water.

Li Chunshui, honest and diligent, offered to help in the kitchen and Old Lady Li followed closely behind.

Thinking of all those bear and fish meat, stealing a little bit of something was a win, especially since she had given the Chen family a whole basket of eggs!

But who in the ten-mile radius didn’t know that Old Lady Li loved a good deal? She used to secretly hoard the best meat and vegetables at other people’s houses under the pretense of helping in the kitchen, and it wasn’t just once or twice.

So, everyone voluntarily acted as the prosecutor, keeping an eye on Old Lady Li.

They intentionally squeezed out the words, "What good things did you eat at your second son-in-law’s house last night?"

The entire commune knew about Old Lady Li being sent out of Ma Xiulian’s house yesterday afternoon, heading to her second daughter’s in-laws’ home with a swollen pig-face.

But Old Lady Li said with apinched face full of disdain, "They didn’t take care of me at all. They only served a dish fried with grease. There wasn’t even a decent meat dish!"

When Li Chunshui heard this, she felt extremely uneasy.

Every time her mother came empty-handed, she would also bring her nephew to freeload. That her mother-in-law didn’t kick them out was a sign of tolerance.

Forget about the meat dishes – even that dish fried with lard was only barely made after she had pleaded with her mother-in-law. Yet, the moment it was served, it was devoured by her mother and nephews.

The family barely got a few bites. Her mother-in-law was so angry that she threw the chopsticks and bowls on the spot.

When she returned to the room, her husband beat her and threatened, if her mother ever showed up to freeload again, he would send her back to her mother’s house.

Every time this happened, Li Chunshui was envied her younger sister for having such a tough mother-in-law. Her mother didn’t dare to freeload from the Chen family so blatantly.

When the other women saw her feign innocence after taking advantage, they scolded her unabashedly.

"Give it a rest, Old Lady Li. It’s good enough that they treated you with lard! Look at how many mouths you brought to freeload! If my in-laws tried doing that, I wouldn’t even let them have lard!"

"Right! Who do they think produced these food, the wind?"

But Old Lady Li had a skin thicker than a city wall, she defended herself: "What’s wrong with freeload? I’ve given my daughter, who ate my food for over ten years, to them. She works in their fields, earns work points for them, and continues their lineage. What’s wrong with me, her mother, eating some meat at their place?!"
