Lian Duoduo's hand hurt from the heat, but instead of receiving comfort, she was met with a harsh scolding. Lian Duoduo was infuriated, yet she wasn't quick with words and was somewhat afraid of Lady Zhou, so she dared not retort. She just raised her arm to wipe her tears while crying loudly.
Her crying only made Lady Zhou angrier.
"You're still crying, you heartless debt-collector. Smash, go ahead and smash all the good plates and bowls we have, just like that. Look at yourself, even selling you wouldn't get one good bowl..." The more Lady Zhou scolded, the angrier she got.
"Enough, enough." Old Master Lian saw that Lady Zhou was about to go on a never-ending tirade and waved his hand, saying, "Hurry up and clean up, people will be coming soon."
"Grandpa, Grandma, it's not Duoduo's fault, it's me, it's me..." Lady Chiang hurried to explain.
