Some even offered to trade their fat chickens and geese for this bag of rice from Granny Wang, but Ding Si Niang gritted her teeth and shook her head, saying:
"This rice was given to my mother by the gods. They say that if she eats just one more grain of rice, she can live a few more years. I'm not selling it!"
Granny Wang secretly pulled her daughter aside and whispered:
“My son, don’t be afraid. That fairy goddess is kind-hearted. She will definitely protect us. Your mother-in-law is just tormenting us. Tomorrow I’ll say I’m sick. You quietly bring your clothes home. I still have two acres of poor land. If we work hard, we won’t starve.”

Li Zhenying is Nezha's younger sister, who also appeared once in "Journey to the West". She is only ten years old this year, which Xu Milu naturally knows.
Zhao Lang nodded in agreement.
