Yuan Amu said this, squatting down weeping, "I am human too, I am human too..."
"Why do you treat me like this, treat my child and daughter-in-law like this? They are so kind, why do you scold and hit on a whim?"
"Where did I go wrong? All year round, whatever you ask for, as long as we have it, we give it to you. Why do you still push us so hard?"
The old lady was dumbfounded by Yuan Amu and the wife of Ai.
It took her a while to find her voice again, "You, you wait, I'm going to call the old man!"
She rose to her feet and stumbled out.
It was only then that Ai's wife, holding her four children, burst into loud crying, feeling sorry for the crab. She turned to look for the dustpan, knelt on the ground, and started picking up the crabs to put them into the dustpan.
Her hands were cut and bleeding from the broken bowl shards, but she paid it no mind.
She continued to pick them up.
There was blood on the crabs, and she turned back to knead the dough.
