The village head thought to himself that it wouldn't be good to beat the old lady too harshly before driving her out of the village, so he stopped after a dozen slaps.
At this time, Mo Daoyan had already packed a bundle for her at home, filled with some changing clothes. The family didn't have much good food, fearing Old Lady Mo would starve, he also packed some coarse grains.
Seeing this, Madam Ruan was displeased: "Husband, why are you giving her so much coarse grain? What will our family eat then?"
In fact, the bundle only contained a dozen or so sweet potatoes; besides that, there were just two sets of clothes, nothing more.
"Mother will be hungry when she's outside, give her a bit, it's not much."
"Not much? There's at least five or six pounds here! Our family has so many people, we already don't have enough food, why give her so much?"
