Rural households aren't so particular; such behavior is quite normal. Madam Xie didn't think it strange and filled everyone's pockets with generous handfuls of fried fruit until they were completely full and could hold no more.
The women left happily, as they still had to go to the hall to cook; with so much meat and vegetables tonight, their entire family could enjoy a full meal. Just the thought of it delighted them.
The Mo family
Old Lady Mo had been incessantly nagging these past days, complaining that Madam Xie and her daughters, these worthless bones, had actually received ten thousand taels of silver and had no notion of being filial to her, their grandmother. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Unfortunately, Big Bull, that Plague God, was squatting night and day at their home, preventing her from making a scene. She had no choice but to stay at home and nag Old Master Mo daily.
