Chapter 250: Chapter 251: Bitten by a Rat 4

She was convinced that her sisters-in-law’s families had leaked the information about the rat hole, so she cursed extremely harshly.

Ma Xiulian only casually opened her mouth to talk after drinking the tea from her cup, "I was the one who spread the news about the grain."

As she said this, she looked coolly at Li Chunhua,

Li Chunhua was so frightened that she shrunk her neck in fear and quickly covered her mouth, "I was just talking nonsense!"

But she couldn’t help thinking to herself that her mother-in-law must have lost her mind. How could she distribute the grain that was theirs?

Zhao Mei, who had been worried all along, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. As long as it had nothing to do with her natal family, that was fine.

Zhou Zhaodi gave her husband a satisfied look: Look, I knew it, we were the ones who appeared cold but had kind hearts.

The completely shocked Chen Jiandang:...

And Chen Jianguo and Chen Jianye were also with disbelief written all over their faces. Why?

Chen Jianguo, as the eldest son and elder brother, asked on behalf of his brothers in a deep voice, "Mom, why did you disseminate such important news?"

"This was the result of a discussion between your father and me. Being too greedy is not a good thing."

Ma Xiulian said with nonchalance, "There’s this big rat hole, we have already dug up two of them. We can’t reach the farther ones. Besides, the grains belong to the collective. It’s better to allow other people in the collective to dig up and eat the grains, rather than letting the rats spoil so many of them. This also slightly compensates for the losses due to the plague of insects."

Of course, there was another more important reason she did not say.

Looking at her obedient and adorable granddaughter, her heart nearly melted.

God must have seen the good in Chen family, who were humble and didn’t do evil deeds, therefore he gave the Fairy-like Guibao to her family.

God was watching their everyday actions from heaven.

What if God saw the selfishness and greediness of Chen family and decided to take Guibao back? What then?

Therefore, giving away the grain was considered charity. It would show God that Guibao’s family were good people and would keep Guibao in their home.

Everyone fell silent at these words. They hadn’t considered others, and were just minding their own business, so guilt was evident on their faces.

Mom was right. They couldn’t be so selfish and greedy as to hoard all the grain for themselves.

They already had enough grain in their house for the entire family to eat for a full year. The surplus grain would be better left for those families who might go hungry.

In comparison, their mother was kind-hearted and had a broad mind.

The only person who felt no shame was Li Chunhua, who believed that her mother-in-law was bewitched.

In her mind, the grain belongs to Chen family--no, it belongs to her family!

It’s just that it’s still staying in the rat hole and hasn’t been moved back home just yet.

If the collective went to dig it up, it would be equivalent to stealing her grain.

Just thinking about the loss of so much grain made Li Chunhua ache.

Zhou Zhaodi asked with a puzzled look on her face, "But why didn’t we dig up the nearby rat holes before we told them, Mom?"

Even if mom is kind-hearted and wants to give the other commune’s people the chance to dig up the rat holes, it shouldn’t affect them searching for the nearby rat holes.

Ma Xiulian said confidently, "This news is known by several communes. When lots of people come looking for rat holes, and they can find grains near other communes, but our commune’s rat holes have been dug up, wouldn’t that arouse suspicion?"
