Xiang Shuxue's belly is very big now. She is outwardly four months pregnant, but she is actually six months pregnant.
Although she was pregnant, she looked even more haggard than before she was pregnant, with a pale face and a malnourished appearance.
This time, she was truly malnourished.
The limited supplies available on the island each month are simply not enough to feed their family.
As far as she knew, Xiang Xinrong used her own salary to buy supplies from others every month.
Buying vegetables is fine, but nowadays no one has meat to eat, so it's impossible to buy meat. Without meat to eat, of course people will suffer from malnutrition!
What's more, she was pregnant, and the baby in her belly was constantly absorbing her nutrients.
Although Xiang Shuxue is pitiful, it's still wrong to take her things.
Xiang Wanwan snatched the blue crab from her hand and threw it into her small bucket.
Then she quickly picked up the remaining crabs and put them into the bucket.
Xiang Shuxue's belly was bigger than hers, so she was not as agile as her.
She glared angrily at Xiang Wanwan: "Xiang Wanwan, can't you afford to eat anymore?"
"You even want to fight me for a crab!"
"Xiang Shuxue, I was the one who found this first. You stole my things and then turned around and accused me."
Xiang Wanwan glared back fiercely.
They're both pregnant, why should she give way?
Unexpectedly, Xiang Shuxue burst into tears as soon as she spoke.
"I haven't had a decent meal in ages, and I finally get a blue crab, and you're trying to take it from me!"
Her crying instantly drew everyone's attention.
Wu Ma and Wang Sao immediately came to her side.
"Is Madam alright?"
"Wanwan, are you alright?"
Xiang Wanwan shook her head. She was fine; it was Xiang Shuxue who was not.
She looked at Shuxue crying, and this time it didn't seem like she was faking it; she was crying so pitifully.
"Oh dear, my little darling, what's wrong now?"
Granny Chen came running over, carrying an iron bucket.
With two pregnant women in the family, she's incredibly busy preparing food every day.
Taking care of Xiang Shuxue is one thing, she's her daughter-in-law, but now she's even being asked to take care of her mother-in-law? It's outrageous!
Xiang Shuxue cried and pointed at Xiang Wanwan: "She stole my crab!"
Granny Chen looked at Xiang Wanwan, and her face immediately darkened.
"How heartless! Your own sister can't even afford meat, and now that you've finally managed to find two crabs, you're even trying to steal them?"
"Not only will they not give them meat, but they'll also steal their food! It's outrageous!"
Granny Chen plopped down on the beach and began to wail, crying out all the grievances she had suffered in recent days.
The old woman and the young girl were crying and wailing, which stunned Xiang Wanwan and the others.
The onlookers were also shocked.
Seeing Granny Chen and Xiang Shuxue crying so pitifully, they couldn't help but speak up:
"It's just two crabs, Comrade Xiang, hurry up and give them to them!"
"The Yan family has a lot of people now, so they definitely don't have enough supplies. I see them going out to gather seafood every day!"
"They're all so pitiful, let's give them to them!"
Xiang Wanwan curled her lips slightly and gave a cold smile.
She looked at the women beside her and said, "Since you aunties are so kind, why don't you share what you've picked up with them?"
Upon hearing this, everyone holding the buckets shifted their hands slightly back.
These days, resources are scarce, and it's not easy to find some seafood like this; how can we just give it away to others?
"Since the aunties themselves are reluctant to part with it, why should they ask me to?"
She turned to look at Granny Chen, who was throwing a tantrum on the ground.
"Xiang Shuxue is your Yan family's daughter-in-law. If she can't afford meat, isn't that because your son is incompetent?"
