Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading

Chapter 165: The Stingy Grandma Has a Stroke

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Wang Chunhua became even more agitated.

Muttering angrily, but not managing to speak a single word clearly.

She was so angry that she started shaking all over, raising her still functional hand to point at Su Xiaoxiao, trying hard to say something.

But despite trying for a long time, she ultimately couldn’t utter a single word.

"Tsk, I have to say, your acting is quite impressive. Right now, you could even be nominated for Best Supporting Actress."

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking? Your grandmother is truly ill!"

Zhang Guifang was so furious her eyes almost popped out.

This brat actually thought that Wang Chunhua was pretending.

"If she’s truly ill, why not rest at home properly? Why come to my house?"

Su Xiaoxiao heard it was real but still showed no expression. If she remembered correctly, their families had already severed ties. Even if Wang Chunhua suddenly passed away, they had no obligation to mourn her.

"You brat, do you have any conscience? She’s your grandmother, how can you talk like that?"

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms: "If I remember correctly, we’ve already signed the break-up letter, black and white. You’re not thinking about reneging, are you?"

"Pfft! So what if it’s signed? No matter what, she’s still your grandmother. Now that she’s sick, you have the obligation to help care for her."

Su Xiaoxiao instantly understood; they were thinking of making them the scapegoat since the old lady was ill.

"Sorry, but from a legal standpoint, my family has nothing to do with yours anymore. Please go back to wherever you came from."

Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking and directly pushed her cart inside the gate, locking it behind her in one fluid motion.

When Zhang Guifang and the others realized it, they found the door wouldn’t budge.

"You brat, how can you treat your own grandmother like this? You’ll be struck by lightning for doing this."

Zhang Guifang angrily pounded on the door, while Wang Chunhua was shaking with rage, muttering incomprehensible curses.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t articulate her words, resorting to just glaring.

Just then, Liu Cuilan came home from work, and upon seeing the two at the door, her face immediately darkened.

"What are you here for?"

Seeing her, Zhang Guifang immediately started complaining first: "Sister-in-law, you need to discipline Xiaoxiao, the brat. I’m her aunt, and our mom is her grandmother. She actually locked us out. No matter what, we’re her elders. She’ll face retribution for doing this."

Liu Cuilan looked at them coldly: "If I remember correctly, our two families should have no relation anymore. Without any relation, what kind of elders are you supposed to be?"

Zhang Guifang didn’t expect her to say this, her face immediately lengthened: "Sister-in-law, one shouldn’t be heartless. After you came in, we didn’t mistreat you. Now that she’s sick, you can’t just ignore her."

Liu Cuilan sneered: "Didn’t mistreat me? Do you dare say that? When the kids’ father died, how did you treat me? You divided the family without caring if we lived or died, leaving us the worst yard and only giving us a small sack of grain."

"In the dead of winter, I went door to door borrowing grain, just to keep the kids from starving. Do you still dare to say you didn’t mistreat me?"

"Sister-in-law, you can’t say that. Even one sack of grain was given to you, wasn’t it? If not for that sack, your family would have starved. How would you have today?"

"Besides, we weren’t well off back then either. Because of the matter with your brother, we were always on edge in the production team..."

Zhang Guifang spoke with increasing conviction of her own justification.

After all, it was her brother who made the mistake. They couldn’t be pulled into disaster as well, could they?

Wang Chunhua nodded along, evidently agreeing with the second sister-in-law’s view.

Liu Cuilan sneered and turned around, slamming the gate shut, louder than Su Xiaoxiao’s action of closing the door.

"Fine, your family of ungrateful wolves treats mom like this? Tomorrow I’ll go to the county to report against you."

Zhang Guifang furiously kicked the door twice, and just as she finished, a splash sound made her completely drenched.

That water had a disgusting, rancid smell. Chen Guifang’s face immediately turned green: "Who the hell splashed? Was it you, Su Xiaoxiao, you brat? Get out here right now!"

Zhang Guifang was furious; it must have been the brat who splashed her with dirty water.

However, despite yelling and slapping the door, the people inside completely ignored her.

She angrily ground her teeth and helped Wang Chunhua up: "Mom, let’s go back first. Tomorrow I’ll go to the city to file a complaint against them."

As soon as she said this, she suddenly screamed: "Mom, how many times have I told you not to drool everywhere, it’s so disgusting."

Zhang Guifang distanced herself a bit from Wang Chunhua in disgust.

No, she had to quickly send Wang Chunhua to Liu Cuilan’s house. Wang Chunhua couldn’t do any work now and needed care, not to mention she sometimes wet herself, making it so disgusting every day.

That same night, Zhang Dongmei sneaked to Su Xiaoxiao’s kitchen in the back, but stayed till the middle of the night without seeing the stove lit up.

What’s going on? When she got off work today, she specifically asked a colleague to buy ten pounds of duck goods, so why wasn’t the brat cooking duck goods?

Could it be she’s afraid of being discovered, so she waits until later to cook?

That’s possible; cooking this stuff has a strong smell, and the neighbors could easily smell it. If someone steals the recipe, how would Su Xiaoxiao make money?

Thinking of this, she decided not to sleep tonight, staying outside Su Xiaoxiao’s kitchen all night.

Meanwhile, lying in bed, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t fall asleep and opened the game interface, only to find a small person crouching outside her east wall.

Who’s this lunatic? Not sleeping late at night and squatting outside the courtyard wall?

Su Xiaoxiao looked closely and saw that this lunatic was none other than Zhang Dongmei.

She immediately realized what Zhang Dongmei was after.

She must be here for the duck product recipe.

If she remembered correctly, the fool had even paid money to ask someone to buy ten pounds of duck goods from her today.

Su Xiaoxiao slowly curled her lips; since she wants the recipe so much, she’d give her one.

Zhang Dongmei shivered with cold as she leaned against the courtyard wall, then heard footsteps inside the kitchen.

She hurriedly climbed the nearby big tree, peering through the small ventilation window into the kitchen, and sure enough saw Su Xiaoxiao inside.

Zhang Dongmei felt a burst of joy; finally, her sacrifice of freezing half the night wasn’t in vain.
