At a crucial moment, Wang Cuihua timely arrived.
Wang Cuihua saw Suizi coming from home carrying things, found it strange, and came over to take a look.
"What's going on?"
"Mother, Xiao Pang just rescued our Jiaojiao and was injured on his head. I brought things over but aunt refuses to accept them."
"This isn't right." Wang Cuihua was pragmatic. Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, she immediately joined the "battle".
She gave Suizi a wink and Suizi stepped aside, feeling relieved.
Wang Cuihua and aunt Yuan argued back and forth. One insisted on giving, the other refused to accept. The battle lasted for twenty rounds with no evident winner.
In the end, the experienced Wang Cuihua threw the stuff and ran away.
Suizi also ran behind her, almost losing her shoes in the process.
This simple rural kinship, these plain folk customs, are really quite daunting.
By the time they made it home, Suizi was panting heavily from exhaustion.
