When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the battlefield, they first took Jiang Shitou away and then helped Wang Aijun up from the ground.
"Aijun, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Tell Mom!" Li Jing, the eldest daughter-in-law of Granny Lan, looked at her son with concern.
When Wang Aijun saw the person who was supposed to support him arrive, he immediately burst into tears, which broke his mother Li Jing's heart. While comforting her son, she scolded Bu Ling: "You little brat, you have such a heartless heart. You didn't even help when you saw my Aijun being beaten."
Meanwhile, the people in the front yard who heard the commotion came out and looked at the four people standing around the entrance of Buling, all of them somewhat confused.
Bu Ling said slowly, "Sister-in-law Li, you need to be reasonable. The other child fighting with your son is also a child. How can I help him beat up the other child?"
After saying that, before Li Jing could answer, Bu Ling shook her head to herself: "No way, I can't do something so shameless."
The late-arriving Granny Shen and her daughter-in-law, seeing their grandson (son) being held by Granny Lan, couldn't stand it anymore and joined the fray.
Granny Chen's eldest daughter-in-law, Yang Pingping, said, "That's right, Xiao Bu is right. How can someone be so shameless, bullying the younger one like that?" As she spoke, she pushed Granny Lan aside, hugged her son in her arms, and looked at the bruises on his face, her eyes turning red.
Granny Chen was also furious: "Granny Lan, have you no shame? So many people are bullying my grandson." Although she didn't dote on this grandson, he was still her family member, and she couldn't let him be bullied by others.
Granny Lan also joined the fray: "Old woman Shen, have you no shame? Your grandson is from the backyard, why isn't he staying in the backyard? What is he doing in our front yard?" The implication was that he deserved to be beaten.
At this moment, Wang Aijun added fuel to the fire: "Grandma, Grandma, kill him, kill him! He's trying to steal my meat, kill him!"
The onlookers were all incredulous when they heard that such a young child was going to yell about killing someone over a piece of meat.
Jiang Shitou retorted, "The meat is mine; you're the one who tried to take it from me."
An elderly woman surnamed Wu, a bystander, asked, "What kind of meat?"
After asking, I realized what kind of meat they could possibly have; they were eyeing the meat from Xiao Bu's house.
What Aunt Wu could think of, others had also thought of, so they looked at the two families with disdain.
Li Na and Yang Pingping blushed, only then realizing that there was such a thing, and the two immediately looked at their mother-in-law.
Granny Lan and Granny Shen showed no remorse.
“Little Bu, what’s wrong with giving my grandson a few pieces of meat?” Granny Lan said matter-of-factly.
“That’s right, that’s right. It’s all Xiao Bu’s fault. If he had brought the meat out earlier, none of this would have happened,” Granny Chen chimed in.
Buling nodded in agreement, saying, "What the two aunties said makes sense!"
The gossip group, led by Aunt Wu, looked at Bu Ling in disbelief.
Granny Lan and Granny Shen's faces lit up with joy, but before they could utter a sound, they heard Bu Ling say...
"Quickly, you two children, kneel down and kowtow three times to me, call me Great-Grandma, and I'll share meat with you from now on," Bu Ling said with a smile.
The two children's eyes lit up, and they were about to speak when their mother quickly covered their mouths.
Everyone in the courtyard was speechless with shock at Bu Ling's words.
Aunt Wu stammered, "Little Bu, are you... are you serious?" She voiced everyone's thoughts.
Buling nodded: "Of course, otherwise, how could I give them meat when we're not related? Even if I wanted to, they would feel embarrassed to accept it."
"Pfft!"
Someone in the crowd burst out laughing.
It was like flipping a switch, and laughter came one after another.
Granny Lan and Granny Shen's faces turned green.
Li Na and Yang Pingping also looked unwell.
Finally, the farce was stopped by Mr. Wu, an elderly man from the management school, who came home from get off work.
After hearing the whole story, he gave Bu Ling a resentful look. Ever since this girl started renting a house, their compound has never been quiet. This is the second time. However, this matter is really not the girl's fault.
He looked at Granny Lan and Granny Lan: "What are you two arguing about? You're so old, yet you have the nerve to bully a young girl like that. Let me tell you, the crucial period for selecting advanced residential compounds is just around the corner. During this time, everyone needs to keep quiet. If our advanced residential compound is lost because of you, just you wait and see!"
He then turned to the crowd of onlookers and said, "Everyone, disperse, there's no need to cook."
After saying that, he pulled Aunt Wu and went back into the house first.
Granny Lan and Granny Shen didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. Being recognized as an advanced compound was an honor, and it wasn't just an honor. If a compound was recognized as an advanced compound, the neighborhood committee would be the first to think of it if anything good happened. They didn't dare to delay the selection of the advanced compound at all, so they could only suppress their feelings and go home indignantly.
Li Na and Yang Pingping each picked up their sons, glared at each other, and went back into the house. The onlookers, seeing that the main characters had left, naturally dispersed.
However, they had a new impression of the new girl. This girl, with her smiling face, was a master of deception.
Two families were clearly after her meat, yet she managed to instigate a fight between them, and then she could still smile and claim kinship with them.
Everyone dispersed, and Bling stretched and continued with the tasks she hadn't finished earlier.
After carrying water back to the house, I locked the door, drew the curtains, boiled water, and ate meat!
