Chapter 236: Chapter 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!"

The old lady Li could curse without opening her mouth. Ma Xiulian laughed coldly, looking at her four barbaric sons by her side, "Everyone knows you’ve come to ask for food. If they didn’t know better, they would think you’ve come to rob us."

"Don’t think you can take advantage of our Chen family. The methods you used against some young women won’t work here." Ma Xiulian said maliciously, delivering her harsh words straight.

Within ten miles, who didn’t know how much oil and water Old Lady Li had scraped off her daughters-in-law, especially from those families that didn’t have many sons?

If crying, throwing tantrums, and threatening suicide failed, she’d call all her sons over to freeload and refuse to leave until they gave her something.

Old Lady Li hated her so much that it made her teeth itch. She had already let go of her face to ask at this point, yet this tigress still wouldn’t let up.

What’s more, the labor force of the old Chen family was no worse than their Li Family. If it really came to a fight, there’s no guarantee that they wouldn’t be the ones at a loss.

So, her eyes rolled around and landed on Chen Jianye, and she started to cry and howl again, "Jianye, quickly speak up for your mother, persuade your own mom. If we can’t borrow this food, our whole family will really starve. As your mother-in-law, I’m begging you."

A look of difficulty appeared on Chen Jianye’s face. After all, this was his mother-in-law, rejecting her directly would be too disrespectful.

But he also knew well that his mother would absolutely not lend the food.

Seeing this, Old Lady Li wiped a fake tear and continued to lament, "I’m really out of options, that’s why I came here. As your mother-in-law, I’m begging you, help our family."

Seeing that he still remained silent, the old lady Li cursed inwardly but put on the act of about to kneel, "I kneel to you!"
