Oh, definitely.
Wang Lifan clearly remembered too: "One year I planted a bed of strawberries next to the vegetable garden for Qiaoqiao to eat. The child checked on them every day. But just as the berries turned red, Old Lady Zhou ate them all!"
"Eating them was one thing. She even had the audacity to complain they were too sour and then yanked them all out."
Qiaoqiao was so upset she cried all afternoon and didn't eat dinner.
To have upset grandma like that, it's evident just how universally reviled Old Lady Zhou was—her reputation was no joke.
And because of this, Song Tan felt even more that Big White's behavior earlier was simply marvelous!
The only downside was that it was too hot in the middle of the day.
But it was also lucky that in the midday heat, Old Lady Zhou didn't dare to lie on the cement floor in the courtyard—it would burn the skin off!
Thinking this through, the timing and conditions couldn't have been better!
