Yard
The day was just beginning to dawn, and Old Lady Mo, accustomed to rising early, dressed in her bulky clothes, stood in the courtyard with her hands on her hips, yelling furiously, "Mo Xiuzhi, you little wench, I didn't beat you last night, and today you dare to steal so many of my eggs and cured meat. Are you tired of living?"
Old Lady Mo, who made it a habit to open the cupboard and count the eggs and cured meat every day, immediately noticed something amiss upon unlocking it this morning; a significant amount of eggs and cured meat were missing, which made her fly into a rage and start causing a commotion in the courtyard.
Upon hearing the screaming, Madam Ruan, who didn't even have time to comb her hair, rushed out of the house in disarray, her face filled with shock...
"Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law, what's going on? Why are you scolding Xiuzhi again?"
