I hope her great-great-grandmother keeps her in excellent health and that she can meditate for a long time.
She lit three incense sticks, looked at the ancestral tablet, bent down, and bowed three times. The smoke from the incense sticks in her hand rose straight up.
The fierce ghost placed on the offering table let out a series of mournful howls, which only disappeared when Ma Lihua straightened up.
"Snap..."
Ma Lihua was startled. When she looked up, she saw that it was the food her grandmother had prepared on the offering table.
“Mother, the old ancestor doesn’t eat your cooking, hahaha… The old ancestor is such an honest person…” Ma Hehua said happily.
Watching Ma Hehua laugh so hard she was almost convulsing, Ma Lihua silently mourned for her mother for a few minutes.
Sure enough, a cry of pain followed, "Ouch! Mother, I was wrong, Mother, I was wrong, please don't spank me."
After dealing with her wretched daughter, she felt relieved. Then she ran to the ancestral tablets, her face full of anger, and said, "Which great-grandmother is this today? So picky about food? Doesn't she know that every grain of rice is hard-earned? This wasteful behavior is unacceptable. If you don't like it, just leave it! Don't eat it, why are you smashing the plate? Don't plates cost money? Money doesn't grow on trees. Honestly, you should be grateful to have anything to eat. I'm not cooking for you anymore, how can I accept this?"
Ma Lihua gave her grandma a thumbs up. It's not good for great-grandmothers to be picky eaters. They need to change. She and her mother are never picky eaters. They eat whatever their grandma cooks.
Seeing that the incense on the memorial tablet was burning even faster, Ma Linghua snorted coldly!
"Hmph! You deserve to be scolded. My mother used to serve you all the best, but look what happened to her. She was shot to death. That was too tragic. I'm not my mother. If you want good food, then show some sincerity. Otherwise, you'd better hold back." Ma Linghua said angrily.
How pretentious! I've given you face, and you're already acting all high and mighty? Go eat your own shit!
Ma Hehua stayed in her room and never went out until Ma Linghua asked her to chop firewood, at which point she bravely went out.
However, Ma Linghua did not scold her. Instead, she happily started cooking again. It was nine o'clock in the morning, and her mother's face could change in an instant.
"Grandma, you seem so happy, is there something good happening?" Ma Lihua put down her sword and finally couldn't help but go to the kitchen to ask.
"Oh! My little darling is so perceptive, unlike your unlucky mother, who does nothing but make me angry and slack off all day long. Just looking at her is so annoying." Ma Linghua glanced at Ma Hehua indifferently.
Ma Hehua; "……………………"
Is it really necessary? Is her mother really that petty? All she said was that her cooking wasn't good, so why is she holding a grudge? Sigh! Looks like I can't say that next time; I'll just have to say it in private!
“Someone died in the neighboring Jianshan Village, and the villagers suspect it was the work of ghosts. That’s why they called me! They asked me to go and take a look. It’s not easy to go, so they gave me an extra 300 yuan! Once I’ve done the job, I can get 500 yuan,” Ma Linghua said with a proud look.
"Grandma, you're really something! You made that money so easily. I want to be like you someday," Ma Lihua said, flattering her.
"Hey! What's this? From now on, our Ma family will rely on you to shine!" Ma Linghua said with great anticipation.
Ma Hehua felt a pang of bitterness. Ha! She was just a tool, wasn't she? Waaah~ She also wanted her mother to praise her.
Knowing that she was about to go to the city to study, Ma Lihua was afraid that her grandmother would forget the time, so she asked again, "Grandma, we're going to the city! When are you going to Jianshan Village?"
Ma Linghua gave her a reassuring look and said, "We'll go tomorrow. There's still time. Today is only the 22nd, and there are still eight days left! There's plenty of time. Why not make this money?"
"Oh! That's good." Ma Lihua was relieved; her grandmother was reliable after all.
When the meal was ready, Ma Linghua kept putting food on Ma Hehua's plate. Although the food was unpalatable, Ma Hehua felt warm inside. Sure enough, her mother still loved her.
With her eyes closed and tears in her eyes, she not only finished all the food on the table, but also automatically washed the dishes without being asked.
Ma Lihua; "………………"
Her mother must be missing a screw, because her grandmother calmly lay down on the chair and took a nap. It was obvious that her mother was completely under her thumb.
The three members of the Ma family lived a very comfortable life. Apart from their lack of cooking skills, it was truly a paradise.
In the afternoon, seeing her mother cut down a pile of bamboo outside, she asked curiously, "Mom, why are you cutting down so much bamboo?"
"Let's fence off our little courtyard with a bamboo fence so it won't be so damp when we come back for the New Year," Ma Hehua said, and then she started working.
Moisture protection? There's not much water in their Black Wind Village, so what kind of moisture protection could they have? It seems her mother's mind is getting worse and worse; her actions are utterly inexplicable. Only her grandmother can cure her.
"You wasted your entire noon cutting bamboo?" Ma Linghua said through gritted teeth as she looked at her exasperated daughter, having just woken up.
Seeing her mother's unpleasant expression as she looked at her, Ma Hehua shuddered and immediately said, "Mother, I didn't waste any time. I practiced a set of Ma Family Fist in the bamboo forest and also learned how to catch ghosts. I didn't slack off."
"Really?" Ma Linghua was clearly skeptical.
“Mother, I wouldn’t dare lie to you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask A-Bian (A-Bian is a bamboo rat spirit) and you’ll know if I’m lying or not.” Ma Hehua said in her loud voice, as if she was afraid her mother wouldn’t believe her or wouldn’t hear her.
Ma Linghua felt that Hehua wouldn't dare lie to her even if she had a few more lives, so she said, "Alright, I know. I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it, our Ma family's enemies are all powerful, so we have to put in several times the effort of others. I know you always complain about me, but I'm doing this for your own good, even if you resent me."
"Waaah... Mother, you are so great. Hehua doesn't hate you. Mother, you are so good. You are the best mother in the world. Being your daughter is the greatest blessing in my life." Ma Hehua was so moved that tears and snot streamed down her face. She looked disgusting and hugged Ma Linghua, rubbing her face against her clothes.
Ma Linghua; "………………"
Be patient! Be patient, her noble image of maternal love cannot be tarnished.
Ma Lihua; "………………"
It's a pity she's not in the organization; she's a great talent.
After eating and washing the dishes, the family lay in the yard looking at the moon. As they watched, they heard…
"Snoring...snoring...snoring...pitting pitting..."
Ma Hehua snored loudly.
The grandmother and grandson; "………………"
"Grandma, don't you hate my mother for always being like this?" Ma Lihua's voice was very soft, but Ma Linghua, who had excellent hearing, could still hear it.
“Pear Blossom, no mother would hate her own child. Even if your mother has many flaws, I will never abandon her.”
Hearing her grandmother's words, Ma Lihua's lips curled up slightly. It was wonderful. Even if she had stolen her life, she would never despise her mother.
