"I don't know what kind of spell Jiang Wanwan has cast on you. You believe everything she says. What if she sells you out one day and you're all helping her count the money?" Zhang Cuihua glared at Jiang Wanwan fiercely and said with considerable disdain.
Upon hearing this, the villagers' expressions changed, and they began to look at Jiang Wanwan with suspicion.
Would anyone really be willing to trade grain for locusts?
Was Jiang Wanwan just teasing them?
Seeing this, Aunt Wang sneered, "You say Wan'er is lying to us? What benefit could she possibly gain? Even if locusts can't be exchanged for grain, we'll still catch them. What loss would that cause any of us?"
"Yes, Ergui is right. You keep saying that our Wan'er is deceiving the villagers. I ask you, what has our Wan'er lied to the villagers about? Show me the evidence!"
"Don't just spout nonsense. I think you all should go back and brush your teeth, lest you stink up everyone's mouths!" Madam Hu put her hands on her hips and gave Liu San Niang a vicious scolding.
Wan'er is the apple of Old Jiang's eye. No one in the family dares to say a harsh word about her. How can they allow others to make fun of her now?
For the first time ever, Grandma Jiang didn't stop Hu from arguing with someone; instead, she secretly gave her eldest daughter-in-law a thumbs up.
Scold her, scold her hard!
Curse them to death!
If you dare to insult her precious granddaughter, don't blame them for being ruthless!
The Jiang family felt incredibly pleased with Hu's rebuttal.
"You, you, you...you dare to call me foul-mouthed!" Liu San Niang pointed at Hu Shi, trembling with anger.
Hu Shi, emboldened by the old lady's praise, became even more aggressive. She covered her nose, frowned, and exaggeratedly took a few steps back. "Ugh, where is that stench coming from? It stinks worse than a latrine, it's almost making me faint."
The entire Jiang family took a few steps back in unison. When the villagers saw this, they also involuntarily took a few steps back, creating some distance between themselves and Liu San Niang.
Hey, I don't know why, but they seem to actually smell a stench of feces.
Having been publicly humiliated by Hu for her foul mouth, Liu San Niang was already furious. When she saw the villagers retreating in the same way as the Jiang family, with disgusted expressions on their faces, Liu San Niang's face turned pale and then red, and she became completely withdrawn.
She shut her mouth tightly, not daring to utter another word.
Jiang Zhuzhu glared at Jiang Wanwan with a sinister look and said coldly, "Hmph, I bet your Jiang family is plotting to get the villagers to catch locusts in exchange for grain. They want the villagers to work themselves to death catching all the locusts in the fields so that your family can save their crops without lifting a finger."
"Since you don't believe what Wan Yatou said, why don't you stop catching locusts to exchange for grain? We're not forcing you families to catch locusts to exchange for grain." Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Zhuzhu fiercely.
Then, he pinched his nose and waved his hand as if shooing away a wing, "Alright, alright, stop talking so much. You guys go home and brush your teeth, don't make everyone smell bad."
"You!" Jiang Zhuzhu stomped her foot hard on the edge of the field, then sneered, "Hmph, do you really think we're stupid? So easy to fool? You think we'll help you catch locusts? Don't even dream about it!"
"Mother, sisters-in-law, let's go!" Jiang Zhuzhu said angrily.
