Madam Ruan, after hearing Old Lady Mo's remarks, pursed her lips, whispering disdainfully with a face full of contempt, "Pah! She talks as if she's so noble. We hardly eat a few pieces of cured meat throughout the year and she calls us wasteful, yet it's perfectly fine for her to eat meat every day. She's utterly inhumane."
The courtyard was filled with the loud wailing and shouting of Old Lady Mo, and nobody noticed Madam Ruan's quiet muttering; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the courage.
Old Master Mo watched as Old Lady Mo threw a tantrum on the ground, at a loss for what to do, and finally said with a pain-stricken face, "Wife, stop shouting. The ground is cold, get up quickly and don't harm your body."
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, are you alright? Please get up quickly."
Standing by the side, Madam Xie trembled all over as she listened to Old Lady Mo cursing the thief who stole the cured meat.
