Mrs. Liu decided not to open the door no matter how many times Bai Zhenzhu knocked.
Bai Zhenzhu’s eyes reddened, her father, mother, and younger brother were waiting for her to send them lunch. They haven’t eaten breakfast. Now, they don’t have anything to eat for lunch, where will they get the strength to work?
Old Lady Bai came out of her room with a pale face, she hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday. She was tired and exhausted from waiting for her daughter-in-law and Bai Dabao to go outside and pick some wild vegetables to eat.
“What’s with the noise?” Old Lady Bai asked Bai Zhenzhu.
Bai Zhenzhu showed the empty rice bag to the old lady and said: “Grandmother, the little rice we have left disappeared, no one else is in the house. Auntie must have stolen it. Grandmother, father, and mother went out to work, this little bit of rice is the only thing can fill their empty stomach, but now it’s gone. Where will they get the strength to work?”
Old Lady Bai’s face sank immediately. The rice in the second branch disappeared, Mrs. Liu stole it. No wonder she smelled the smell of porridge in the room. She thought she was so hungry that she’s having hallucinations.
This heartless woman, she was not dead yet, but she didn’t even bring her a bowl of porridge. Do they want to starve her to death?
Old Lady Bai didn’t slam the door, she used all her remaining strength to shout: “Hurry up and open this door, otherwise, I will smash it with an ax.”
As soon as her words fell, the door opened. Mrs. Liu smiled sweetly at the old lady and said, “Niang, what are you doing here? Do you believe Zhenzhu?”
Old Lady Bai took a glance at her, then pushed her away. As soon as she walked into the room, she smelled the smell of porridge. What else is there to ask?
Bai Xiaofeng was also in the room. Bai Dazhu was lying on the bed. As soon as she came in, he closed his eyes and pretend to be sleeping.
Bai Xiaofeng wiped his mouth and then went out.
Old Lady Bai’s sharp eyes fell on the small pot hidden behind the table. There was something left on the pot, it’s nothing much, but it was enough as small bowl.
At this time, Bai Dazhu, who was lying on the bed suddenly burp, which made Old Ladya Bai angry.
Bai Zhenzhu thought that the old lady was angry for her, so she said: “Grandmother, did you see, it’s uncle who stole our rice. You should seek justice for us and make them pay. My mother, father, and younger brother are still waiting to eat.”
Right now, how could the old lady have the heart to listen to her? She only fiercely stared at Mrs. Liu and Bai Dazhu, after taking the pot of porridge, and then left the room. She didn’t even look at Bai Zhenzhu.
Bai Zhenzhu trembled in anger. Her Auntie treated her like a fool. She thought her grandmother will give their family justice, but she was wrong. Her grandmother and the first branch of the family were joining together to bully their family.
Bai Zhenzhu asked Mrs. Liu: “Auntie, is there any rice left? My father, mother, and brother are still waiting for lunch!”
Mrs. Liu spread out her hands: “I don’t know what you are talking about. We have been hungry for 2 days. We haven’t eaten anything. What rice are you looking for?”
In front of a woman like Mrs. Liu, how can Bai Zhenzhu be her opponent, she lost after a few words.
She didn’t know what to do at the moment, she was so anxious that she burst into tears.
“Go, go away, why are you crying in my place? If someone saw you, they will think that I am bullying you. You get out.” Mrs. Liu pushed away Bai Zhenzhu and said: “We are now separated, don’t bother us.”
Bai Zhenzhu went out with tears in the eyes while carrying the empty rice bag. She felt very sad for her father, mother and younger brother.
