That cane, if not for her sister-in-law pulling it away quickly, would have already hit her arm.
So heartbroken~
The extent to which this person disliked the dog exceeded her expectations.
The woman's words displeased Sister-in-law Huang. "Auntie, my sister-in-law has a bad temper, but she's not cunning or malicious. The women in the village don't like her, so they're spreading rumors about her everywhere."
"Doesn't that sound guilty?" The old lady snorted unhappily. "If she didn't have bad intentions, would she have become one of the three scourges of Huangjiakou? Forget it, I don't want to deal with you. Just leave."
Huang Bai's wife is a good person; she is clever and thoughtful, but sometimes she can't see things clearly.
No matter how incompetent Huang Mu's wife is, she can't see clearly, and what outsiders say is useless.
Shaking her head regretfully, the old lady turned around and hurried back with small, quick steps.
Seeing this, Sister-in-law Huang quickly spoke up, "Fifth Aunt, let's talk a little longer. Do you sell your cabbages?"
She paused, turned around, and uttered two words, "Not for sale!"
Cabbage for one cent a pound? Do you think she's stupid?
She's old and a bit confused, but she's not stupid. How could prices be so high this year when they're only available in famine years?
What a deceitful and wicked thing!
"Why?" Sister-in-law Huang urged anxiously, "Auntie, this price is too high. Let's pay in cash, then we can discuss things, right?"
"I'm keeping the cabbages to feed the pigs, I'm not selling them."
The fact that they would keep the pigs instead of selling them to her left Jiang Nuan feeling deeply frustrated.
"Fifth Aunt," Jiang Nuan apologized sincerely, "I was foolish before and did many wrong things. Now I sincerely repent and please believe me."
"You want to repent?" The old lady squinted and looked Jiang Nuan up and down. "Really?"
“Really,” Jiang Nuan said, feeling aggrieved but appearing even more sincere. “As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. I think I can still be saved.”
“That’s a good idea,” the old lady nodded at first, then changed her tone, “but I don’t believe it.”
"Fifth Aunt," Sister-in-law Huang said warmly as she helped the old woman up, explaining softly, "After my second brother passed away, his wife was traumatized and her temperament became a bit erratic. She did some foolish things, but they were understandable. Don't the books say that once you make a mistake, it's okay?"
"No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. The greatest virtue is to correct them," Jiang Nuan added.
"Yes, yes, that's it," Sister-in-law Huang secretly gave Jiang Nuan an approving look, "The book says it all, so it must be right. What do you think, sir? Should we give Ya Ya another chance?"
These words softened the old lady's expression considerably.
“What you said makes sense. If Huang Mu’s wife can really change for the better, this old woman isn’t the type to hold a grudge. They say time will tell, and this isn’t something that can be done just by talking. Let’s wait and see.”
Is it going to work or not? Jiang Nuan wondered to herself.
Sister-in-law Huang also had some doubts, and asked with a forced smile, "Auntie, do you think the vegetable selling thing has been agreed to?"
“No,” the old lady waved her hand. “I’m just an old woman and I can’t manage the household. I need to discuss this with my husband first. We’ll talk about it later.”
"What? Still not enough?" Jiang Nuan simply took out a coin. "Auntie, I'm serious. I'm not trying to lie. If you don't believe me, I'll give you the money first."
"No," the old lady quickly took a few steps back to keep her distance from Jiang Nuan, "If I take the money and deliver the cabbage, and then you say that I cheated you out of a penny, where can I go to reason with you? You'll cry and rave, and I'll have to give away my own cabbage for nothing!"
