Chapter 237 Forcibly Seizing Food 5

Li, the eldest brother next to her, grabbed her arm and glared at Chen Jianye, saying, "Are you even human? Does your mother-in-law have to kneel down to beg you for a favor? Asking you to speak up or help is like she's going to kill you. You're such a coward."

Chen Jianye was already shy, and now he was even more embarrassed. So he tentatively said to Ma Xiulian, "Mom, why don't we send some grain to the Li family from a distance?"

Ma Xiulian glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "I have already allocated the grain in the house. Each room has its own share. If you want to borrow, borrow your share. Take your family's grain and your whole family to Old Li's house and be their son. From now on, I will pretend that I never gave birth to such an unfilial son who eats his own flesh and blood."

Chen Jianye immediately shook his head frantically: "I was born a son of the Chen family, and I will die a ghost of the Chen family."

There's absolutely no way I'm going to lend out this grain; I still have two sons to feed.

After that, he didn't dare to utter another word.

"Ma Xiulian, don't think that the Li family is easy to bully!"

This time, it was Old Lady Li's second son who spoke up, his face contorted with rage: "You're asking me for a grain of rice, and you really think you're the boss?"

Old Li glared at him and said menacingly, "You have to borrow this grain today, whether you want to or not."

If polite negotiation doesn't work, then they'll just resort to robbery.

So the Li brothers turned around and headed menacingly straight for the house where Old Chen kept his grain.

Their mother had already figured out the location the first two times she came. The grain was stored in the room behind the lower house, so they just grabbed the grain and ran. Let's see what the Chen family can do to them!

When the three Chen brothers saw that they were trying to rob them by force, they immediately stood up and chased after them.

Ma Xiulian didn't rush to chase after them. Instead, she said to her granddaughter, "Sweetie, you eat first. Grandma will go and chase those bad guys away."

Helian Jiao said softly, "Okay."

If it weren't for her grandmother telling her not to hit people casually, she would have already beaten all those annoying guys out.

Ma Xiulian went to the corner, grabbed a hoe, and walked over.

"There are wolves!"

The Li family's sons opened the door, screamed, and ran out in a panic.

Who would have thought that what was piled up inside wasn't a full load of grain, but a row of wolf heads hanging from the rafters, with intact pelts hanging below, looking almost like they were alive at first glance.

The wolves' heads still revealed sharp fangs, as if they could open their eyes and pounce on them at any moment.

Old Mrs. Li was slow to react. As soon as she came out, she saw her sons looking pale and asked anxiously, "What happened? Why are you so scared? Weren't we moving grain?"

Old Li was the first to come to his senses. Even now, thinking back to the wolf heads he had seen on the roof beam, his legs still felt weak.

He pointed to the door of the lower room, his voice still trembling: "There are many wolf carcasses in there."

Old Mrs. Li was taken aback: "A wolf's carcass? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

She peered inside with a suspicious look, her heart nearly leaping out of her throat.

The three Chen brothers looked down on the Li family's sons for being so frightened.

They're afraid of even a head and skin, yet they personally chopped off the wolf's head.

Ma Xiulian brandished a hoe and said fiercely, "I used this hoe to cut off the wolf's neck! If anyone dares to touch my family's grain today, I'll chop off their hands and claws."
