A lot of people had already surrounded the villa where Nora lived.
Everyone stood outside and pointed at them.
Mrs. Long had her hands on her hips as she cursed, "Like I said, these people haven't even been here a day and they've already started stealing! She's definitely not a good person. We shouldn't let such a person stay in a district like ours!"
Someone beside her advised, "Mrs. Long, you've been scolding her for so long. The young lady is so cute, she doesn't look like a thief. Tell me, what did she steal?"
Mrs. Long immediately said, "She stole my scallion pancake!"
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at the scallion pancake in Cherry's hand. She had already eaten half of the pancake and now she was holding the pancake and looking at Mrs. Long with black grape-like eyes.
Hearing this, Cherry took another bite of scallion pancake. Her mouth was stuffed full, making her look especially cute.
Someone beside her said, "Mrs. Long, isn't it just a cake? Can you just let it go? We're all neighbors, and the child is very young. She might just be hungry if she ate your cake!"
Mrs. Long sneered, "What do you know? She's already so bad at a young age. She's a crooked stick! Do you know what her father does? He's a worker! Do you know what her mother does? She's so young and doesn't look like a proper mother at all! I think she didn't even go to school and just fooled around with a man. She gave birth to these three little bastards! She gave birth early but didn't raise them well. If we let them stay here, they'll become the stinky bugs in our district sooner or later!"
With that, everyone looked at Cherry in confusion.
However, Cherry took another bite of the pancake. Her clear eyes were staring at Mrs. Long as she stood there and asked, "Grandma, who is a stinky bug?"
Mrs. Long immediately pointed at her. "You are, of course!"
"Oh." Cherry smiled and began eating again.
The scallion pancake was really delicious!
She took two mouthfuls and the crowd burst into laughter. Before Mrs. Long could understand what was going on, someone beside her laughed. "The little girl is teasing you!"
Mrs. Long:"!"
From where do children nowadays learn to tease like that?
She did not react for a moment.
Cherry shrugged. She had learned this from her mother last time! Although it was an old trick, it was very effective in angering others!
The vicious old woman was so angry that her chest was heaving. Cherry grinned and continued to eat her scallion pancake.
Mrs. Long took a few deep breaths. Her fingers were trembling. "You little girl, you have a sharp tongue. I can tell at a glance that you won't be a good person when you grow up. I think you're going to be like your mother. You're so young, you didn't learn to be good. You'll live well with bad men!"
Cherry did not understand her words but her eyes lit up. "Do you think I'll be like my mommy?"
Mommy was so strong. How good would it be if she was like her?!
Therefore, she grinned. "Thank you!"
