Grandma Mo was working with her head down and hadn't had a chance to answer when Su Nanxi said, "No, I won't lend it!"
It was a very decisive and resolute decision, leaving no room for negotiation!
Aunt Zhou felt that she had already humbled herself and asked the Mo family for some face. This was based on her experience; in the past, many people wouldn't argue with an old woman like her and would usually agree!
Unfortunately, she ran into a brick wall. Su Nanxi didn't care about her age at all, and didn't give her any special treatment or make a fuss about it!
If Su Nanxi knew about Aunt Zhou's bizarre mentality, she would definitely say a few words. What does old age have to do with her? It's not like she caused it. Besides, does old age give her the right to do whatever she wants and force others to do things she doesn't want to do? Who gave her that right?
He can't even figure out where he's standing!
She generally doesn't like to argue with people and is willing to yield. If it doesn't affect her, she might consider giving in. However, that doesn't mean she'll give in to everything!
Someone like Aunt Zhou, once she gives in, will do it countless times in the future!
It's not like we haven't tried it before!
Back when we were neighbors, this person had already tried to take advantage of us, with an insatiable look on his face!
When the Mo family had nothing, they didn't think there was anything to covet, since they couldn't compare to the Zhou family. But as the Mo family gradually prospered, and people saw that the Mo family had more and more good things, they started to have ulterior motives!
The Mo family disliked this person, so they simply stopped associating with the Zhou family. At most, they would greet the Zhou family once they met, but that was all!
Who has the time to guard against people like a thief all day long? Isn't that tiring?
My things were taken away, and people even went behind my back and said I was stingy!
Forget it, I'll just block you!
Aunt Zhou, her face long and displeased, scolded Su Nanxi, "I'm talking to your mother, what right do you have to interrupt? You have no manners at all! When you come to our village, you should learn to respect your elders and care for the young! Don't always act so superior. As a daughter-in-law, don't always try to be superior to your mother-in-law. It's none of your business to make decisions about your mother-in-law! It would be better if you didn't know how to speak properly, because now that you do, you only say things that people don't like to hear. You'll make people dislike you! As an elder, I'm kindly trying to teach you, and you don't know how to be grateful!"
Hearing the commotion, the Mo family members all straightened up. Seeing Aunt Zhou's fierce expression as she spoke to Su Nanxi, they immediately dropped what they were holding and ran over to surround Su Nanxi.
Aunt Zhou thought she was right and was very proud of herself. She felt quite satisfied, considering herself an elder!
Neither Zhou's son nor daughter-in-law came over. They seemed to be used to this kind of thing and were just waiting for Zhou to come and call them.
The Mo family members' faces darkened upon hearing this. Old Mrs. Mo immediately retorted coldly, "It's none of your business how my daughter-in-law behaves! If you want to interfere, go back and discipline your own daughter-in-law! I'm only giving you face because we're all from the same village, haha! You've got some nerve, thinking we owe you something, haven't you? Whatever my daughter-in-law says is right, her words are my words, I give my daughter-in-law that right, what, are you jealous? Who do you think you are, elder? Don't pretend in front of me! I know you very well, don't think I don't know, I just didn't want to call you out, I was giving you face, don't push your luck!"
Aunt Zhou pointed at Old Lady Mo with her finger, only able to say "you you you" in her mouth, so angry that she couldn't finish a sentence for a long time.
Gao Yuling walked forward with her hands on her hips, blocking Su Nanxi behind her, determined to protect her to the end. "You shameless bastard! Do you think you can talk about me, Su Su? Who gave you the right to say that! I've put up with you for so long, your ugly face is so disgusting! How dare you interfere in my affairs? Has anyone ever told you that if you overstep your bounds, you'll get chopped off? Ha! Scared now? Good thing you're scared!"
I'm a very unreasonable and domineering person. If you want me to teach you a lesson, just say so! If you don't want to listen to me, Su Su, then get lost! Nobody invited you here, and you have the nerve to yell at me when you show up uninvited! Bah! Even a dog will wag its tail at me when I offer it shade, haha, and you're still trying to push your luck! I don't know how you've developed such thick skin, actually saying that I, Su Su, am ungrateful! Haha! If I hear any more bad things about Su Su, I can't guarantee my hands will stay still!
Xiao Wu also jumped to the front; no one could tell about his master!
"Go away and cool off somewhere else! You can't even manage your own family, yet you want to meddle with the Mo family? Don't even think about it! Su Su said she wouldn't lend it, and that's final. What are you babbling about here for? We don't want to argue with you. Do you really think we're easy to bully? Let me tell you, if I get angry, even I'm afraid of myself!"
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he raised his fist and shook it, baring his teeth and looking quite fierce!
Su Nanxi also found Aunt Zhou quite amusing; she couldn't help but say a few words to her!
So, she gently pushed aside Xiao Wu and Gao Yuling who were blocking her way, walked forward casually, and said to Aunt Zhou with a disdainful expression.
"Aunt Zhou, you've planted so much rice, it looks like a good harvest! Could you give us half of it? Oh! I remember you raise quite a few chickens and ducks, ah, I really want to eat some, just ten or so will be fine! I'm not one to be greedy, you have so much anyway, why not give me some? It's just sitting there! You see, we're neighbors, you won't refuse me, will you? I don't need much, right?"
Upon hearing that Su Nanxi wanted her family's things, Aunt Zhou's face immediately darkened, and she cursed Su Nanxi for being shameless and asking why she could take her family's things for free.
Su Nanxi wasn't angry with her. She said nonchalantly, "Oh dear! You all have so much anyway, what's wrong with giving me some? I don't want all of yours! Don't be so stingy! People should be more generous so others will like them! If you're so stingy, it'll be hard to get along with the villagers!"
Aunt Zhou's face darkened even more; these words seemed so familiar!
"No way! That's our property, there's absolutely no reason to give it away for free. We worked hard to get it, and you just want to take it away as soon as you open your mouth, what's the difference between that and robbery? There's no way our village will tolerate someone like you, always looking to take what belongs to others!"
The other members of the Mo family were furious. Su Nanxi stretched out her hands and gently pressed them down, signaling them to calm down and not be angry!
Su Nanxi, who had just been smiling, suddenly changed her expression, her face turning cold as she said sharply, "Then what right do you have to take our big umbrellas? Just because you're hot doesn't mean we're not! What does it matter to me whether you're hot or not? I'm lending you my umbrellas as a favor, not lending them to you is my right! Don't pretend to be so noble and virtuous, standing on your moral high ground to judge me. You're not worthy! I respect your age and don't want to say anything more, but you think I'm easy to bully? This village won't tolerate me, and you have no right to make that judgment!"
