A trace of displeasure flashed through Zhuang Liuhong's heart. She didn't want to be taken advantage of by buying such an expensive sauce. Wouldn't it be more fragrant if she used someone else's without spending any money?
In the final analysis, she just wants to get something for free.
"Why are you so stingy? I just want to try it before buying it. If it doesn't taste good, it will be a waste to buy it. It's 200 yuan. I can't compare to you. You spend it without blinking an eye!" Zhuang Liuhong didn't expect to be rejected. She felt angry and unfair. It was just a bottle of sauce. Was there any need to be so stingy?
You don’t want to lend it, right? She went in and got it herself.
After saying that, she walked straight past Yuan Yali and headed towards her kitchen.
Yuan Yali quickly followed and reached out to stop Zhuang Liuhong, but she waved her hand away. "Liuhong, what are you doing? I told you not to lend it to me. Can't you hear me?"
Zhuang Liuhong heard it but pretended not to hear it, and she actually got the pepper and bean paste in the kitchen.
Just when Zhuang Liuhong was feeling smug, Luo Zian took out his "golden cudgel" and hit her hand that was holding the pepper bean paste hard, shouting, "You wicked old woman, don't even think about taking my bean paste away!"
This "golden cudgel" is a sturdy wooden stick. Last month, when he and his father went fishing in the wild, they picked up a straight and long wooden stick. His father made it into a stick of suitable size and painted the surface of the stick the color of the "golden cudgel".
"Ouch!" Zhuang Liuhong cried out in pain and her hand loosened. Yuan Yali took the opportunity to snatch the pepper bean paste back from her hand.
Luo Zian was worried that his grandmother wouldn't be able to protect the Lingjiao Doujiang well, so he took it and covered it in his arms with one hand. He pointed his "golden hoop" at Zhuang Liuhong and said, "You are a robber! You are not welcome in my house. Get out!"
Zhuang Liuhong was extremely angry, her face ferocious, "You little bastard, you hit me?"
After saying that, she raised her hand to hit Luo Zian.
Yuan Liya quickly reached out to stop him, "Don't bother with the kid, it's because you took his bean paste first."
But Luo Zian had the "golden cudgel" in his hand, and the kid didn't hold back when hitting him. Luo Zian put all his strength into each blow. After being hit twice, Zhuang Liuhong didn't dare to step forward rashly and could only stare at Luo Zian fiercely.
She said to Yuan Liya, "Yuan Liya, look at the grandson you taught so well! He will be beaten to death sooner or later!"
Yuan Yali was furious at Zhuang Liuhong's words, as they involved her grandson's safety. Previously, she had thought Zhuang Liuhong was just a straight talker and not a bad person. But now, she saw that Zhuang Liuhong was simply evil, vicious and cruel.
Yuan Yali pushed Zhuang Liuhong out of the house with all her might. Hearing the dirty words coming out of her mouth, she was so angry that she spat on her and fought back, "Bah! My child is very good, but your child is just like you, vicious and uneducated. He will be beaten to death sooner or later! Get out of here! Don't come here again!"
Zhuang Liuhong's eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape. She didn't expect that Yuan Yali, who was usually good-tempered, would also get angry and drive her out. She was stunned for a second, and when she reacted, she had already been pushed out of the door.
She immediately cursed, "You're so good, Yuan Yali, I think you've lost your mind..."
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut, blocking out Zhuang Liuhong's angry curses.
The relationship between the two broke down completely. Yuan Yali was so angry that her liver hurt. What kind of person is this? Not only did he come to steal the Lingjiao bean paste, but he also cursed her grandson. He is so vicious. She will never have any contact with him again!
After checking that the door was closed, Luo Zian put away the "golden cudgel" and said, "Grandma, I hate Wang Yichen's grandma. Don't let them in next time." If it weren't for his wit, the Lingjiao sauce would have been snatched away by the shameless Zhuang Liuhong.
"Don't let them in. Stay away from them when you meet them in the future." Yuan Yali nodded. She also realized that the two families could no longer interact with each other.
I used to think that they were neighbors, we would see each other every day, so I had to maintain a good relationship with them. But now I think it’s better to forget it. I can’t let them affect my grandson’s growth.
Luo Zian said: "I know, they often go crazy, especially Wang Yichen's grandmother, who is like a mad dog. It's better to stay away from her. Grandma, I want to raise a dog." If any bad guy comes to the door again, just close the door and let the dog out to bite him to death.
"You need to talk to your dad. Grandma agrees, but you need your dad's approval." They now live in a small town house, which is different from the houses in the village. It is not independent, without a separate courtyard. Dozens of families live in one large courtyard, so raising a dog is far less convenient than in the countryside.
"Okay!" Luo Zian took his grandmother's phone and called his mother. He promised his mother she'd handle his father's situation if he could convince her. He vividly recounted how Zhuang Liuhong had come to steal the Lingjiao sauce and scolded him and his grandmother. He then talked about how dogs protect their owners and how safe it is to have a dog at home. Finally, his mother agreed.
Luo Zian shouted happily: "Yeah! Grandma, Mom agreed!"

For several days at mealtime, Zhuang Liuhong could smell the aroma of food wafting from the Luo family's cooking. She was extremely envious, but she had fallen out with Yuan Yali and could not "borrow" her family's food to cook. For this reason, she was always in a bad mood at mealtime and would scold the Luo family for being stingy and mean.
At this time, Zhuang Liuhong and his wife and their grandson Wang Yichen were sitting at the dinner table. His son and daughter-in-law were working in other places and only came home once every one or two months. Usually, it was just them and their grandson at home.
Smelling the aroma of Luo's food, their own food became bland.
Her husband, Wang Shaobo, had also been drooling over the Luo family's meals these days. "Liu Hong, let's go buy a bottle of sauce tomorrow. It's the one that's set up at the stall in front of the middle school."
Zhuang Liuhong was not very happy. "200 yuan is just a small amount. You have a lot of money, right?"
Wang Shaobo glanced in the direction of Yuan Yali's house and said, "Can you stand smelling the fragrance of other people's homes every day? Xiaochen has mentioned several times that he wants to go to Luo's house to play."
Zhuang Liuhong's eyes lit up and she asked anxiously, "Did you go?" It would be nice if his grandson could go to Luo's house to play until dinner time and have a free meal.
Wang Shaobo's eyes dimmed as he said, "They probably didn't hear the knock on the door, so they didn't open it."
"Bang!" Zhuang Liuhong slammed the table angrily, saying, "Humph! How could I not have heard it? They just didn't open the door on purpose. They're so cunning!"
"Grandma, Luo Zian has ignored me these days. He didn't even open the door when I went to play with him." Wang Yichen felt aggrieved. Although he had never thought of going to Luo Zian's house to play before, the food at Luo Zian's house has been delicious these days, and he really wanted to go to Luo Zian's house for dinner.
"We won't play with him!" Zhuang Liuhong became angrier the more she thought about it. "Who can't afford 200 yuan? Don't be sad, Xiaochen. Grandma will buy it for you tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Wang Yichen's eyes were full of anticipation and pride.
Just wait and see, who doesn’t have delicious food? Tomorrow he will go to school to show off to Luo Zian.
