Does her family have some curse that always gets interrupted when they're eating?
Su Xiaoxiao thought irritably, why does someone always come to the door right at mealtime?
Liu Cuilan frowned. Could it be another stingy neighbor trying to freeload?
There are so many people in the village; there's always someone brazenly asking for food when they smell something good from someone else's house.
"You two, old four and old five, hide the food. I'll get the door."
Liu Cuilan issued the order and stood up.
She had barely stepped over the threshold when she heard angry cursing from outside.
"Liu Cuilan, you heartless, shameless wretch! Get out here now, or I'll tear you apart!"
Zhang Guilan had been knocking without response and, losing patience, resorted to shouting curses.
Her voice was so loud that it attracted many neighbors who were also having dinner around.
Some, enjoying the commotion, made sarcastic comments on the side.
