Hannah had never thought that Lady Wilson would fall out with her.
Seeing her carrying many plastic bags filled with food, she said aggrievedly, "Mother, since you've brought back so much good food, let me take a few bites. After all, I've starved for a long time..."
Lady Wilson snorted, "Go get a job to feed yourself. How shameless of you to ask an elderly like me to feed you!"
Hannah nervously blurted out, "That's all Jacob's fault! Otherwise, I would've earned more than you by working as a cashier!" 3
Lady Wilson pouted and said, "All these are none of m y business. The money you earn belongs to yourself while the money I earn is mine. We shan't take advantage of each other. As such, don't you ever think of taking in my meals. Go work outside and earn your own meal!"
Hannah glared at her furiously. Then, she blurted out," Old lady, are you throwing stones at me who has fallen into a well? If you insist, I’ll leave this house!”
Lady Wilson laughed and clapped her hand, "Good! You’d better leave fast. I can’t wait to celebrate your leaving with firecrackers! If not for Donald, I would’ve kicked you out from our house! If you want to leave
this house willingly, go ahead! Donald can't blame me after all, how great is that!"
Hannah gritted her teeth. "Great! We shall see, you old thing!"
Wendy rushed over hurriedly to smooth things out," Grandma, please don't argue with Mother. She has starved for a long time, please let her have some food!"
"Let her take her food?' Lady Wilson sneered. "I would rather feed the dogs instead of letting her take even a single bite!"
Lady Wilson then continued, "Pass the dishes over to me, you go get the tableware. All four of us will be having our meals here right in front of her!"
Hannah cried and scolded, "Lady Wilson, I was married into your family and had given birth to several children. How dare you not even give me a spoonful of rice? How heartless are you?"
Lady Wilson said in despise, "Go think of a way to feed yourself. Aren’t you good at seducing men? Why don’t you go out and look for one now? Who knows, perhaps you might find a wealthy one!"
"How could you..." Hannah felt shameful and outraged at the same time. 1
Very often, Lady Wilson liked to humiliate her with the incident at Mount Blackpine. Yet, she could not refute her in any way.
She was outraged and stomped her feet in resentment,
