Song Lili stared coldly at Gu Shi's constantly opening and closing mouth, cursing herself inwardly. "Serves you right for gloating!" she thought.
You were just watching the show, and now look what happened—the fire has burned you! What did she do to deserve this? She's completely innocent, okay?
However, only she knew her own frustration; others only saw Song Lili with a crying face, unable to lift her head after being scolded by Madam Gu.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore, especially the old lady, who was furious.
"I'm not giving it to you today. Let's see what you can do to me. There are only three pieces of meat for the family. She already said she didn't want them, so there aren't any left."
"If you continue to act so unreasonably, I'll go to the village chief. I'll let him judge this for us and see who's right and who's wrong."
The old woman threw down her spoon, truly refusing to serve any more, and simply watched Gu Shi, watching her cause trouble.
She sneered, "For a bite to eat, you've even thrown away all your dignity. Don't you feel ashamed? Don't you feel embarrassed?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to go out. I wouldn't be so shameless."
The old lady had long disliked Gu Shi, and now that she had such an opportunity, how could she not give her a good thrashing?
"Mrs. Gu, you really are heartless. That's your own granddaughter! How could you use such vicious words to curse her?"
"Don't you know this will ruin the child's reputation? What are you really thinking?"
She kept calling her a "little whore," which wasn't meant to scold a child; it was meant to scold shameless women. Yet, Gu Shi, the grandmother herself, used it on her own granddaughter.
And that unfilial thing, what does she take her children for?
The country values filial piety. Children who are not filial will be looked down upon by many people and will be criticized behind their backs.
But Madam Gu so easily uttered such words, showing she didn't treat that girl like a granddaughter at all.
The older women all felt sorry for Song Lili and felt aggrieved.
Other people of the same age as the old lady also spoke up one after another. The younger ones were not easy to talk to, but the older ones had no such reservations.
"That's right, this is even more ruthless than an enemy. How can this be considered family? The Gu family is too vicious."
"That's right. Lili is so well-behaved. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also very polite. Every time she sees us, she calls us 'Grandma.' If I had a granddaughter like her, I would dote on her too much."
"So you see, everyone is biased, but I've never seen anyone as biased as the Gu family."
"But it's been tough on Yongren and his children. They've been tormented by the Gu family for so many years. If the family hadn't separated, I don't think they would have survived."
The barrage of accusations was too much for even a shameless person like Gu Shi to handle; his face flushed, and he began to back down.
If it were someone younger speaking, she could take advantage of her age and thick skin to pretend she knew nothing and brush it off.
But it's definitely not the same with peers. Younger people will be careful with their words, but who cares about your peers?
Besides, we've all grown up together since we were young, so who doesn't know who? We know each other's personalities perfectly well.
People naturally tend to compare themselves to others of equal standing, so don't let them look down on you.
Therefore, the words spoken by these grandmothers felt like knives, each one stabbing into Gu's heart.
This also prevented her from shamelessly staying there any longer and getting her hands on the three pieces of meat.
If it were just the old lady alone, she could pretend, but with so many people, she couldn't and wouldn't dare.
In the end, Gu could only slink away with her bowl. However, her decision not to argue with others did not mean she had let Song Lili off the hook.
Holding the bowl, Madam Gu glared at Song Lili with a twisted expression. "You little whore, you spendthrift! You didn't want the meat, so you didn't even give it to me?"
"How could you be so stupid? Don't you know how precious meat is? How could you not want it? Go and get it back right now!" Saying this, he was about to push Song Lili.
Song Lili tilted her shoulder to avoid Gu's force, and casually shifted her feet to shield Song Fang behind her.
It's better to be careful. What if Madam Gu goes crazy and hurts Fangfang?
"Grandma, you didn't say what you wanted. You should have said so earlier. If you had, I would definitely have given it to you. But you didn't say anything, so how would I know you wanted it?" Song Lili squinted, and no one could see the coldness in her eyes.
If you want to act tough with her, you'll have to see if she's willing. She's not her biological grandmother, even though they're related by blood.
If it were her grandmother from her past life who had been so kind to her, she would have thought of it without hesitation. As for the Gu family, they could only dream about it.
"You...you spendthrift! Didn't I tell you? Are you blind? Didn't you see how good the meat was?"
"I think you're doing this on purpose, deliberately trying to make this old woman's life miserable. You heartless bastard, how could I have such a worthless granddaughter like you?"
Gu couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing at Song Lili. When she saw Song Fang timidly peeking out from behind Song Lili, she became even angrier.
She heard it clearly just now: saying "no meat" meant that little whore, neither of them were good people.
"You little slut, get out here right now! Are you stupid? Huh? You don't want the meat? Are you out of your mind?"
Gu pointed at Song Fang and berated her even more mercilessly, which made Song Lili's previously sneer face turn completely somber.
She looked at Madam Gu with a sinister gaze and said, "Grandma, I think you should go home. There are so many people here, everyone is watching."
So stop embarrassing yourself here and get out of here.
"What's wrong with looking at you? Can't I talk to you just because you're looking at me? You're my granddaughters, it's only natural for me to talk to you, even if I beat you to death, it would be my right."
The thought of so many people watching reminded Gu Shi of the time she was bullied by those old women, which fueled her anger even more.
"If I had known you would be so disobedient, I would have just thrown you into the chamber pot and drowned you when you were born. That would have made things a bit quieter."
"What are you two good for? All you do is eat and waste money. You'll end up marrying someone else anyway. Don't you two have any conscience?"
"I never expected him to be such a spendthrift. Those two little whores are exactly alike, neither of them are good people. They should just be beaten to death." Madam Gu pointed at Song Lili's nose and cursed.
Now, Song Lili's face darkened completely, because she hadn't thought about that woman for a long time, but today Gu Shi reminded her of the woman she hated to the bone in her past life.
Damn it, the two people's faces strangely overlapped at this moment, becoming Gu's old face.
