Old Mrs. Wang hid behind the window, not daring to breathe, only revealing a pair of cloudy old eyes, looking out.
Li Guifang didn't care. She picked up a broom and hit the bacon hanging on the Wang family's clothesline: "I'll let you bully my daughter Duoduo! I'll let you call my child a snob!"
The broom blew with a "whoosh" sound, and the bacon fell to the ground with a "clack", covering the floor with dust.
The neighbors who were watching the fun wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so they could only hold it in.
Aunt Zhang covered her mouth with her hands, her shoulders shaking; Old Chen pretended to cough, but in fact he was hiding a smile; even Uncle Liu, who was usually the most serious, turned his back and shrugged his shoulders suspiciously.
For example, just now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family, both of them were no match for Li Guifang alone. Look how majestic this tiger is!
Old Wang Po secretly saw from the window that Li Guifang took a broom and beat away her bacon.
He was so anxious that he rushed out of the house and shouted, "Ouch! My bacon! What are you doing? You were just teasing the child!"
"Tease the child?" Li Guifang sneered, "Is that how your family teases the child? No wonder your son doesn't recognize you as his mother. Even your own grandson calls others grandma!"
She deliberately emphasized the word "others" and winked at the neighbors who were watching.
Old Wang Po was so angry when her scars were exposed that she jumped up and down, and her faded blue cloth jacket trembled.
"Li Guifang, you've gone too far!" Her voice was so sharp it could pierce the sky. "It's New Year's Day, and you're smashing my bacon. Do you think you're right?"
"Am I being too much?" Li Guifang slammed the broom into the ground. "Didn't you say that just because my family is rich, I'm snobbish? I'm going to show you how snobbish I am today!"
She pointed at the bacon on the ground and deliberately kicked it with her toes. "My family doesn't even want to eat this! Even mice would find it too sticky!"
"You...you..." Old Wang kept saying "you" for a long time, but you still couldn't make any sense!
Li Guifang slammed the broom into the ground, pointed at Old Wang Po's nose and started to curse: "What are you talking about? You old fool, you're not even good enough to feed a dog with expired candy, and you think you have the right to fool a child?
Is your Wang family so poor that they don't even care about their dignity? If you can't afford candy, don't open the door!
Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She poked Li Guifang's nose with her skinny finger and said, "Li Guifang, why are you so arrogant? It's just that your son opened a small shop. Do you really think you are that person?"
"No matter how shabby my son's shop is, it's still better than yours!"
Li Guifang put her hands on her hips and sneered, "Your son doesn't even come back for the New Year. I'm afraid he thinks you two old people are embarrassed? Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." She shook her head deliberately, and her look was so infuriating.
Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was shaking: "You, you are talking nonsense! My son is just busy with work!"
"Busy? Busy becoming someone else's son-in-law?" Li Guifang deliberately raised her voice. "I heard that even your child has someone else's surname?"
Old Mrs. Wang picked up the broom beside her and started to hit her: "You rotten tongue, I will tear your mouth off!"
Li Guifang jumped back nimbly: "Oh, I'm so anxious! Did I get it right? Who in the whole street doesn't know about your family's little troubles?
The story of your son coming back last year to ask for money and you beating him out with a rolling pin has spread to the next street!
Aunt Zhang, who was watching, burst out laughing, and the other neighbors couldn't help whispering.
Old Mrs. Wang's face flushed red, like a cooked hairy crab: "You, you are slandering me! Do you think your Li family is any decent thing?
Didn't your daughter-in-law run away with someone? Your daughter-in-law is a motherless bitch. Giving her candy is a sign of respect for her, and she still has a bad mouth..."
"I'll tear your mouth apart!" Li Guifang rushed forward with a speed unbelievable for an old lady. She grabbed Old Wang Po by the collar and slapped her twice.
"My son is officially divorced, and my granddaughter is spoiled and protected by our family. What right do you, an old hag, have to say this about my granddaughter?"
Old Mrs. Wang was stunned by the blow. When she came to her senses, she gnashed her teeth and grabbed Li Guifang's hair: "You gossipy woman, if you have the guts, don't ask me to borrow a tricycle!!!"
Her claws were like eagle hooks, and she actually grabbed a strand of Li Guifang's hair.
"That broken car?" Li Guifang grimaced in pain, but she was unforgiving, "The money from repairing the car is enough to buy a new one!
You two old people have been stingy all your life, and this is the only thing you have left. Have you saved up enough for your retirement with the remaining 200 yuan?"
As she spoke, she took the opportunity to give Old Wang a push.
Old Mrs. Wang stumbled and bumped into the wall, her defenses completely broken.
Seeing the swill bucket next to him, he grabbed it and said, "I'm going to splash you to death, you bitch!"
There was still half a bucket of rotten water in the泔水袋, and as soon as it was lifted up, it smelled terrible, ding ding dong dong!
"Come on!" Li Guifang picked up the broom and took a stance: "If I don't turn your house upside down today, I will write the word Li backwards!"
He pressed on: "With the behavior of you two old people, you deserve no one to take care of you in your old age! No one will mourn you when you die! You even have to nail the coffin lid yourself in advance!"
The onlookers screamed and stepped back, fearing that they would be implicated.
I saw two old ladies, one holding a slop bucket and the other swinging a broom, walking around in the yard and cursing at each other.
One of Old Wang Po's cotton shoes had fallen off, revealing a pair of socks that had been patched over and over again.
Li Guifang's scarf was also torn into a mess, like a piece of dough hanging around her neck.
"You old fool, have you forgotten how you got fired for stealing steel from the factory?
Why weren't you so arrogant when you were doing the self-criticism at the factory meeting?
"Bah! You still have the nerve to criticize me? You were stealing cloth from the factory, got caught in the act by the security department, and were criticized by the entire factory. How could you not be arrogant?"
