Wang Meisha raised her face proudly and continued to scold, "My godmother is right. It's better to raise pigs than to spend money to raise you. At least the pork is edible. You only make my godmother angry. You are a bunch of useless trash!"
After saying that, Wang Meisha picked up an apple and smashed it directly on Zhu Xiang's forehead.
Zhu Xiang staggered a little after being hit, his hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves, but he kept smiling on his face.
Hu Ling couldn't bear to watch it any longer and gently scolded Wang Meisha, "Meisha, what are you doing? Speak politely. Even if they did something wrong, you can't hit them. It's wrong for you to do this."
Wang Meisha didn't care. "The Wei family paid them to do the work, but they didn't do their job well and made my godmother angry. Shouldn't they be beaten? I only beat them lightly. It's their fault for being so shameless!"
"Wang Meisha!" Hu Ling glared at her daughter. Her daughter was becoming more and more outrageous.
Wu Mei's expression finally softened. She smiled and patted Wang Meisha's arm, then glanced at Hu Ling with a complaint, "Okay, stop talking about Meisha. She's doing this for my own good. This girl is on my side and she's doing this because she loves me."
Seeing Wu Mei speaking for her, Wang Meisha raised her neck towards Hu Ling and said, "My godmother still understands me!"
Hu Ling smiled a little uncomfortably, "Come on, I raised this girl for you. I think you two are the real mother and daughter. I feel like an outsider."
Wu Mei looked at Wang Meisha with joy in her heart, and glanced at Zhu Xiang and the others impatiently, "Alright, stop standing here and do what you need to do."
"Okay." Zhu Xiang nodded, told his men to pour water for the guests, put the fruit plates back in place, tidy up the living room, and then left.
Hu Ling looked at Zhu Xiang's hunched back and the smile that was clearly suppressed before he turned around. She felt sorry for him and tried to persuade him, "This isn't the old society anymore. People work for your family, they sign contracts, and they get paid. If they do something wrong, just scold them a few times. Don't go too far. Calling them pigs or not is too much."
As she spoke, Hu Ling looked at Wang Meisha, "And you, girl, you relied on your godmother's support and hit someone. You're so arrogant in front of me, how arrogant can you be when I'm not watching?"
The Hu and Wu families were old friends, both of them scholarly families. Hu Ling was a history teacher at a university and was very busy with her classes. She knew that Wu Mei was good to Wang Meisha and that Wang Meisha often visited the Wei family.
Usually, Wu Mei spoiled Wang Meisha a little too much, but Hu Ling didn't care. Girls should be pampered after all.
Today, it was the first time that she saw her daughter being so domineering.
Wang Meisha sat affectionately beside Wu Mei, looking at Hu Ling fearlessly, "Mom, please stop saying these things. Godmother has been feeling unwell these past few days. As her best friend, you shouldn't have offered any comfort, but you're still saying these sarcastic remarks."
Hu Ling was speechless for a moment after being struck by Wang Meisha's words. She turned to look at Wu Mei and asked, "How's the Jili matter going?"
Hearing the word "Jieli", Wu Mei's face became even uglier, "It's almost done."
Hu Ling sighed, "It's been so many years, and it's really hard for you. If it were me, my husband would still be worried about his deceased wife. It's been more than 20 years since she passed away, and I would still hold a grand funeral every year. I would feel bad too."
This is probably her best friend. Hu Ling, who was originally a little depressed, now began to feel sorry for Wu Mei.
