Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Wailing Ghosts and Howling Wolves Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Wailing Ghosts and Howling Wolves As soon as Auntie Sun saw it, she shrieked and quickly held her head with both hands, “Ah…! Mother-in-law, I know I was wrong, don’t hit me.”
Old Lady Mo began hitting her mercilessly for a while, cursing as she did so, “No wonder, I was wondering why we were going through rice so quickly these days, turns out it was all because of this wasteful and stinky concubine.”
“I dare not, I won’t dare anymore,” Auntie Sun begged, crumpling into a ball as she continued to hold her head.
Old Lady Mo only stopped hitting her when she got tired.
Auntie Sun slumped on the floor, disheveled and bruised, her face a mess of swollen bruises; she was beyond tears.
Just then, Xuexue and Big Bull walked in.
“Oh my! Who’s this pig-head? How did she get beaten up so badly and yet she’s still sitting on the floor?” Observing Auntie Sun’s swollen cheeks, Xuexue moved closer like she was watching a spectacle, constantly clicking her tongue in amusement.
Feeling extremely humiliated, Auntie Sun quickly buried her face in her lap, not daring to look up.
Upon seeing them, Old Lady Mo immediately turned protective, clutching the bag of rice she had snatched from the old residence, intending to lock it back in the cupboard. Unfortunately, the bag was too heavy, nearly a hundred pounds, and her frail arms and legs failed her several attempts.
“Grandmother, don’t strain yourself, let us help you,” Xuexue said with a beaming smile, thinking how greedy the old woman was, not sparing them a single grain of rice; that’s why she and Big Bull had come to take it back.
“You… what are you trying to do? I’m telling you, be careful I go to the village head and complain about you for trespassing and stealing, that’s punishable by jail,” Old Lady Mo declared, her eyes widened in fear as she clutched the bag of rice, ready to protect her wealth over her life, her miserliness fully on display.
“Then go and complain! Let’s see who ends up in jail in the end,” Xuexue said, arms crossed and leisurely watching the unfolding scene, already accustomed to Old Lady Mo’s shameless ways and unfazed by it.
Big Bull stepped forward, grabbed Old Lady Mo by the collar of her dress, and suddenly lifted her off the ground.
“You… you… what are you doing? Put this old maid down right now,” At that moment Old Lady Mo was left dangling by Big Bull, feet off the ground and completely out of balance, which terrified her so greatly that she felt her soul scatter.
“So annoying!” Big Bull, frowning in displeasure, didn’t hesitate and with a flick of his hand…
“Whoosh!”
Amidst Old Lady Mo’s screaming and howling, Big Bull had actually thrown her onto the roof of the kitchen, where she lay still, emitting pitiful screams like a pig being slaughtered, “Help! Help! Murder!”
As for Old Lady Mo’s screams, Xuexue turned a blind eye, “Big Bull, load up two bags of rice flour, let’s go.”
“Aye!”
Big Bull stepped forward, picked up a bag in each hand, and casually slung them over his shoulders, walking away with Xuexue.
Neighbors gathered at the door, watching Xuexue and Big Bull carrying two bags and began whispering to each other.
Xuexue, oblivious to them, walked away nonchalantly with Big Bull.
After the Mo family members had their fill of sumptuous food and drink at the old residence, they were lounging comfortably indoors when they heard Old Lady Mo’s cries and ran out to see what was happening.
“Mother, what are you doing up there with your old arms and legs?” Mo Daoyan came out and was extremely surprised to see what had transpired.
“This is heartless, I didn’t climb up there myself; that fool threw me up here, woe is me…! There’s no justice! They rob and assault people,” Old Lady Mo bawled miserably.
