Chapter: 1239

"That's great!" Grandma Xiao exclaimed with a smile. "The Ye family will bring back plenty of fresh chives in the afternoon, and I'll go out to harvest some for myself!"

Grandma Xiao's son-in-law spoke up quickly, saying, "Mom, you should cut more, and then we can make dumplings wrapped with chive and pork too!"

Grandma Xiao's daughter-in-law chimed in, saying, "And we can make chive stuffing buns as well!"

Grandma Xiao nodded enthusiastically, saying, "Alright alright alright! I'll just cut a bit more then!"

By the time it was around 5 o'clock, Grandma Xiao had grabbed a knife and headed out the door.

She put the knife in her bamboo basket and ran along the way to arrive at Ye's courtyard outside the fence.

Grandma Xiao looked around carefully, seeing that no one was in the yard, and quickly took out the knife and snatched a big bunch of chives from inside the fence.

After finishing this batch, she immediately cut two more large bunches.

At first, she thought it would be enough, but upon closer consideration, these excellent chives were really rare, so not cutting just one more wouldn't do her justice.

So she continued to cut six big bunches in total, and the harvested "chive" kept piling up in her bamboo basket.

As she looked on, Mrs. Shao was about to head back.

Just then, Ma Ran saw that the sun was almost setting and so hobbled onto the balcony to get some sunshine.

After all, the doctor had instructed her to expose herself to more sunlight as soon as possible in order to synthesize vitamin D and help her leg heal.

When she arrived on the balcony, she happened to see Mrs. Shao sneaking away with some vegetables again, her face red with anger, shouting: "You old devil! You stole so many vegetables from me in the morning, and now you dare to come back? Don't you have any shame at all?"

Mrs. Shao turned around, looking at her as she continued to scold: "What's wrong? You're my daughter-in-law, and I'm just giving you some vegetables, but you're complaining about it again?"

Ma Ran shouted: "Who are you kidding? You're a shameless old hag! If you dare to steal from me again, I'll break your leg for you!"

Mrs. Shao spat and shouted back: "You still don't know when your leg will be fully healed, but you're still daring to yell at me? Believe it or not, next time I'll just break your leg again!"

Ma Ran heard these words and immediately felt her anger surge!

Her leg was the one that had been broken by Mrs. Shao while she was in custody, and this grudge she had been holding onto for a long time.

As she looked on, Mrs. Shao came to steal vegetables again, bringing up the topic of her broken leg to scold her, Ma Ran gritted her teeth and shouted: "Just go ahead and steal! You old thing! Your mouth is so cheap, you'll soon die!"

Mrs. Shao snickered, "Tell you, Ma Ran, my life span is long, you can die eight hundred times and I'll never die! Don't believe it? Let's just walk out and see who dies first!"

Ma Ran was already fuming with rage.

She didn't expect that this morning she had told Ye Chen to be careful around Mrs. Shao, but he not only ignored her warning, but also bought so many vegetables.

Now it's like this old lady is getting all the benefits.

In the past, Ma Ran would have already scolded Ye Chen thoroughly, but now she doesn't have the courage to do so. JrNovels.com
