Chapter 18: Please Turn Right and Go Back to Your Own Home

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyue came over. “Grandma, Mom won’t give you the pig meat. You should go back now.”

“That’s right. You, as a grandmother, even sold out little Yue. How could I possibly give you anything? I will never forgive you in my life,” Shen Xuezhu said firmly.

Song Guimiao, hearing these words from Shen Xuezhu, ignored her.

She quickly thought of a way and immediately stood up, throwing the wild boar meat out into the yard and ran off.

Not far outside the yard, there was a large dog. When it saw the meat fall out, it rushed over and bit into it, enjoying the feast.

When Shen Xuezhu came out, she saw the dog eating the meat.

Song Guimiao was furious, standing still.

“Damn dog, you could have come at any time but choose now! Are you trying to die?”

Tian Zhixiang reminded her, “Mom, that’s the village head’s dog. Don’t curse it. If someone hears you and tells the village head, it’ll be bad for us.”

Song Guimiao almost cried from frustration. She pounded her chest in anger and walked off.

For dinner, Shen Xuezhu and her two daughters had stir-fried pork with chili, stir-fried pig heart with chili, and soup made from bone broth with red dates.

While Shen Xuezhu was drinking her soup, someone knocked on the door.

“Xiaoshan’s daughter-in-law, open the door!”

“My little grandson wants to come to your house to play!”

Lai Bao had been asking at home to visit the Shen family, so Grandma He brought him over.

When Shen Xuezhu heard that a child was coming over, she immediately went to open the yard door.

When the door opened, Lai Bao called out “Aunt Shen” to her.

Tonight, during dinner, Lin Er’s wife had told Lai Bao that the meat they ate was from Shen Xuezhu.

He thought that if he called Shen Xuezhu “Aunt Shen,” she would think he was sweet-talking her and give him more pork.

This was the first time Lai Bao called her that, and Shen Xuezhu’s heart melted with joy.

“You’re so good, Lai Bao!”

Lai Bao asked, “Aunt Shen, do you really think I’m good?”

Hearing this, Shen Xuezhu felt Lai Bao was so cute and smiled at him. “Yes! Come in, don’t just stand there!”

Lai Bao happily jumped in. “Aunt Shen, since I’m so good, will you give me some pork?”

Shen Xuezhu hesitated and almost said no.

Grandma He quickly added, “Of course! If our Lai Bao is good every day, Aunt Shen will give him pork.”

Shen Xuezhu thought to herself, Grandma He, please, exit the door, turn right, and go back to your own home.

Grandma He turned to Shen Xuezhu again and asked, “Xiaoshan’s daughter-in-law, don’t you think so?”

Shen Xuezhu closed the yard door and said, “I don’t like to indulge children like that.”

Grandma He picked up on her words and understood that Shen Xuezhu didn’t want to give Lai Bao pork anymore.

She turned to Lai Bao and said, “Aunt Shen doesn’t want to give you pork, so we won’t have any.”

Lai Bao wasn’t happy. He started throwing a tantrum. “I want to eat! I want to eat!”

Grandma He turned to Shen Xuezhu, “Xiaoshan’s daughter-in-law, just give us a little wild boar meat, please. If you don’t, this child will keep throwing a fit.”

If Shen Xuezhu gave wild boar meat to Grandma He this time, she would definitely come back and ask for more in the future.

A good example of this was Aunt Yao, who lived across the street.

Aunt Yao was too shy to refuse Lai Bao, and that was the problem.

Shen Xuezhu stopped walking and said, “Grandma He, I already gave your family some wild boar meat today. I can only give that much.”

Grandma He grumbled inwardly, thinking Shen Xuezhu was being stingy.

Shen Xuezhu raised her voice and said, “I can’t give any more. If the child gets whatever he wants, he’ll be spoiled.”

Grandma He didn’t think this was a problem and raised her voice too. “If you don’t want to give, then don’t. Don’t say it’s spoiling the child.”

“My grandson is fine. He hasn’t been spoiled!”

At this moment, Zhang Er’s wife hurried over.

“Mom, why are you arguing with others again? Today, Xiaoshan’s daughter-in-law gave us wild boar meat. How can you still argue with her?”

When Zhang Er’s wife arrived, Lai Bao immediately wanted her to carry him. She quickly picked him up.
