After carrying the basket into the kitchen, Ma Linghua began to cook.
"Click-clack click-clack..."
Ma Linghua held two flints the size of eggs and struck them with great effort.
Ma Lihua:…………………………
Holding onto a stool and dragging her frail body, she silently went to her room, then took out a lighter from her schoolbag and slowly walked towards the kitchen.
"Hey! Are you going to get angry or not? If you're not, I'll just throw you in the latrine!" Ma Linghua's hands were a little numb from hitting her. Usually, she would get angry as soon as she hit her, but today she had to go through a nightmare.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, the flint started crackling and eventually ignited.
When Ma Lihua reached the door, she looked at the smoking cigarette holder, twitched her lips, and put the lighter in her pocket.
Ma Linghua's face was covered in soot, her clothes were stained with soot from the bottom of the pot, and the two flints in her hands were still smoking. Without saying a word, Ma Linghua spat a handful of saliva at them, and the smoke instantly disappeared.
Seeing her granddaughter standing at the door, she hurriedly said, "Oh my! My little darling, come sit outside quickly. I'll have dinner ready soon. Are you hungry? Just bear with it a little longer."
Looking at the two large black handprints on her white clothes, she remained silent for a moment, nodded, and left the kitchen with a brisk pace.
Ma Linghua immediately sped up, humming an unknown song that was a bit off-key, but the ending was drawn out for a very long time, which sounded eerie.
Seeing that her daughter was in a bad mood, Ma Hehua didn't dare to say anything. After all, she had the lowest status in the family.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she secretly took out her phone again, glanced at Xiao Feifei, and only saw a few words.
"The streamer you are following is on their way."
Sigh! She sighed, then scrolled to the red envelope her man had sent her. Her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe. Just then, a voice startled her so much that she almost dropped her phone.
"Lotus! Where have you been? You haven't even finished feeding the chickens yet! Come and bring the dishes, it's time to eat!" Ma Linghua shouted with a booming voice.
"Oh! Mother, I'm coming!" Ma Hehua nimbly put down the ladle she was using to feed the chickens. As she passed the chicken coop, her hand touched some chicken droppings, and she looked around.
She then quickly wiped her hands with the rotten vegetable leaves she had used to feed the chickens on the ground. When she looked up, she saw her daughter looking at her with a complicated expression.
"Hehe...hehe...Lihua, I...I'm just feeling alright! Let's go! Let's go eat." Ma Hehua took a few steps, then realized her daughter hadn't followed. She turned around and saw her daughter staring intently at her hand.
"Mom, if you don't wash your hands, I'll tell Grandma that you stole the chicken leg from the kitchen," Ma Lihua said with a faint smile.
No way! That chicken leg was bought by her mother for her daughter. If her mother knew she'd only taken a few bites, she'd spank her. So she immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "Hey! Mom will wash it. It's just washing my hands, Mom will wash it."
Ma Lihua nodded in satisfaction. Her mother just had one flaw: she wasn't very particular.
Looking at the food on the table, Ma Lihua calmly picked up her bowl and began to eat.
Ma Hehua looked pale and sickly. The dishes included: stir-fried eggs with greens, stir-fried greens with wild scallions, greens soup, greens porridge, stir-fried meat with greens, and stir-fried carrots with greens.
It's practically a vegetable paradise! And besides, her mother never puts in any oil, so these vegetables look yellowish and mushy, clearly overcooked and almost burnt!
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat, so you can get back to work. I got a job yesterday morning," Ma Linghua said with a hint of pride.
Helpless, Ma Hehua forced herself to eat two bowls of rice with her eyes closed. After all these years, she still couldn't get used to the pig feed her mother made.
In the Ma family, cooking is a man's job, so it's quite remarkable that the three women in the Ma family have achieved such success.
After finishing their meal and quickly clearing away the dishes, the three of them went to the neighboring village, Eagle Village, under the not-too-scorching sun.
Ma Linghua, who is over seventy years old, looks like she is in her thirties. Because she has been nourishing her body with yin energy for many years, she cannot be viewed by ordinary standards.
Ma Hehua is the same, but she looks a bit older than her age, like she's in her forties. It's all her grandfather's fault for passing on his good looks to her.
The girl crawling behind her was not only delicate and pretty, but also very beautiful, just like her husband. She was just a little lacking in ghost-catching skills.
She carried her daughter for an hour without even breaking a sweat, so she asked curiously, "Mom, what kind of business are you doing?"
Ma Lihua also curiously raised her head.
"Ahem! It's not a big business, just protecting Granny Wang, helping with ghost marriages, and arranging weddings. I get 200 after it's all done," she said with a touch of arrogance.
Ma Lihua:…………………………
Ma Hehua:…………………………
"Hehe! Not bad, Grandma, you're great!" Ma Lihua flattered her.
And her mother…………………………
"Oh my god! Does that mean we can eat at the banquet for free? We can bring a few bags to pack up and save you from cooking a few extra meals, Mom!" Ma Hehua said ingratiatingly.
Ma Lihua:…………………………
Ha! What does it mean to be a master? Her mother is a master at patting her breasts!
Ma Linghua nodded and said, "Hmm! Not bad, Lotus, you've finally figured it out for once. You must choose clean packaging."
"That's for sure, Mother, don't worry! I'll be quick and ruthless, so no one else can even touch me." Ma Hehua's face showed a determined look.
