Although every family in the village was poor and could rarely eat meat, it was normal to eat a meal with meat during festivals.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, Hua Jiujiu continued, "Every year during the festival, I can get a piece of meat personally distributed by Grandma. I'm extremely excited. Although it was always taken by Brother Da Zhuang later on, I'm still very grateful to Grandma. After getting so much meat this time, I should be able to get two more pieces of meat. I must stuff it into my sisters' mouths first so that they can finally have a taste of meat."
Brother Dazhuang was the eldest grandson of the main branch. He was usually spoiled and lawless. At sixteen years old, he was still like a giant baby.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They did not expect the old couple to abuse their granddaughter like this.
The second son's wife gave birth to three girls in a row. Although girls were money-losing and weren't very useful, they were still biological granddaughters. It was not too much to let them eat meat once a year.
When Hua Jiujiu said the first part, Old Hua had a bad feeling. Indeed, after hearing the second part, he felt horrid.
However, he could not go up and cover her mouth. Otherwise, it would be even more obvious.
Just as he was about to use other methods to interrupt, the other party had already finished speaking. This made Old Hua furious.
Indeed, he had to rely on his old wife when it came to twisting reality with words.
Old man Hua suddenly regretted making the old woman shut up.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you money-losing good-for-nothing? Are you short of food or clothes? How dare you spout nonsense."
Elder Madam Xu took the initiative to retort.
Hua Jiujiu shrunk her neck and squatted behind Old Hua with her brother in her arms. She shouted fearfully, "Grandma, don't hit me. I'm sorry."
From her posture, it was obvious that she was often beaten.
Hua Jiujiu even accidentally revealed her arm. There were some bruises on it. It was obvious that she had been beaten up a lot.
"Wuu… don't hit big sis, don't hit big sis…"
"I'll work hard, don't hit big sis…"
The two sisters also cried at the right time.
However, Hua Jiujiu knew that their hearts truly ached for her.
These two silly sisters.
Old Man Hua's expression turned even uglier.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet, stop crying!" Elder Madam Xu roared.
The two sisters shut up in fear.
Hua Jiujiu immediately protected them behind her and looked coldly at this old woman, who did not look like a grandmother at all.
"Sigh, why did Second Brother Hua pass away just like that? What will happen to his widow and children in the future?"
Suddenly, someone sighed.
This made Old Hua flustered.
These words were simply too ironic. Although Second Brother Hua was gone, they still had grandparents. What did they mean, 'what will happen'?!
"Eldest, don't worry. As long as I have a bite to eat, I will definitely make sure you'll have a bite to eat." Old man Hua was trying to hide his character again.
"Grandpa, I'll only take a small bite. I'll give the rest to my younger siblings. This way, when they become stronger, they can beat Little Hong," Hua Jiujiu said timidly.
This Little Hong was the daughter of their neighbor, Zhang Shu. She was two or three years younger than her sisters, but she was much sturdier than them. It could be seen how hollow Old Man Hua's words were."
Old man Hua was once again humiliated. He felt horrid.
However, was there something wrong with this girl today? In the past, she did not even say a word when she was wronged. Why did she keep making him speechless today?
