章節 256: Chapter 256: Worse than a Beast

"Hey, what are you all doing? Why are you crowding around my mother?" Xuexue used her hands to part the crowd and squeezed her way in.

Madam Xie was holding an armful of various-sized items, looking helpless. Seeing Xuexue push her way through, she quickly said anxiously, worried that her daughter might misunderstand the women, "Xuexue, it's okay, the aunties from the village are just too enthusiastic and are bringing gifts to our family."

Only then did Xuexue clearly see the bundles of vegetables in her mother's arms, which even included a few eggs. She felt for these village women who were accustomed to frugality.

She knew that the news of her buying garlic shoots had spread, and everyone in the village was saying that they had come into money. These women were here to ingratiate themselves with the Mo family.
