Everyone was astounded, even the old lady frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Mother, didn't we go to Eldest Uncle's home today and bring lots of rice and grain? We ate a meal at noon and there was quite a bit left over. Sister-in-law wanted to keep it all for herself, but I couldn't let her do that, could I? So, I took the liberty of moving the leftovers into the mule carriage while she wasn't paying attention."
Madam Liang said this with a self-righteous air, as if standing on moral high ground.
If she hadn't moved those things out of the house and loaded them onto that mule carriage, planning to take them back to her own home, her words might have carried a bit more weight.
The old lady pointed a finger at her, "You're no better than Boss' wife; I've never seen the likes of you before, fleecing your own mother, taking and grabbing what you can."
