Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

The chubby boy retreated to the corner, his crotch soaked.

He was so scared by his dearest grandmother that he peed his pants.

The current Granny Ma is unobservable and untouchable; she's practically become Cthulhu.

The mother horse, who was standing to the side, finally came to her senses.

"mom!"

Mama Ma shouted at the top of her lungs:

"You little glutton, it's fine if you eat it yourself, but don't ruin it for your grandson!"

She usually has to sleep with her child, and if she gets covered in feces, she won't be able to live like this.

Grandma Ma was already on the verge of collapse.

The mixture of marsh gas and filth that had been circulating in her lungs for half a day, fermenting together, coupled with her own daughter's words "little glutton," became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"Well--"

Grandma Ma made a strange gasping sound in her throat, and her body suddenly stiffened.

Having committed the sin of gluttony, she suffered food poisoning, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed on the spot, her limbs beginning to twitch.

Bai Li dragged the girls back, all the way to the steps of the main house.

"Get away quickly, this is a biological attack." Bai Li waved his hand dismissively.

Lin Xiaoshuang covered her nose:

"She wouldn't just die in my yard, would she? That's such bad luck!"

Mama Ma panicked. She threw down the stick, her hands trembling as she pulled her phone from her pocket and dialed 120.

After finishing the call, she shouted to her mother, who was lying on the ground, from two meters away:

"Mom, hang in there! The car's coming soon!"

She didn't dare to go forward to help.

The small village is not far from the town's health center.

Not long after, the siren of an ambulance rang out on the dirt road outside the door.

Two paramedics in white coats ran into the yard carrying boxes.

The leading doctor had just stepped across the threshold when he suddenly stopped.

A strong, pungent smell hit him in the face, making him cough repeatedly.

He stared at the "mud monster" on the ground, still twitching weakly, then at the collapsed outhouse next to it, his eyes twitching.

"How did this happen?" the doctor asked, pinching his nose.

Mama Ma hesitated for a long time, pointing to the toilet but unable to utter a complete sentence.

Bai Li stood on the steps and succinctly added to her summary:

"The toilet was blown up, the methane gas exploded, and he fell into the pit."

After understanding the situation, the emergency doctor put on a double mask, looked at the elderly woman on the ground, and said speechlessly:

"So, this is... something that got its fill in the septic tank?"

The young nurse following behind, clutching her stomach, added:

"This old lady has probably already collected the entire periodic table of elements; her body might even turn green later."

The doctor squatted down, examined Grandma Ma's eyelids through his gloves, felt her carotid artery, stood up, and sighed deeply.

"Eating like this, he's probably in grave danger."

The doctor looked at Ma's mother and instructed:

"Family members, please prepare the cleaning fees for our ambulance."

"This smell...the entire carriage needs to be thoroughly disinfected."

After saying that, the paramedics took out a thick protective sheet, wrapped Grandma Ma up tightly, lifted her onto a stretcher, and ran out of the yard.

The ambulance drove away with its lights flashing and siren blaring.

The courtyard fell silent.

The protagonist of this farce was dragged away, leaving behind only yellow stains that hadn't dried completely, and that appalling open-air latrine.

Mama Ma patted her chubby body, grabbed the little fat boy's arm, and prepared to slip out of the yard without looking back.

"stop!"

Lin Xiaoshuang darted out from behind Bai Li and blocked the courtyard gate in a few steps.

This girl only shows her soft and cute side to Bai Li; when dealing with unreasonable neighbors like this, she's more irritable than anyone else.

"Pay up!"

Lin Xiaoshuang stepped onto the threshold, her blond hair fluttering in the wind:

"Your child blew up my outhouse, you have to pay for it!"

She pointed to the collapsed thatched roof and the cracked brick walls:

"If you don't fix my toilet, try walking through it today!"

Who is Mama Ma? She is the village's famous "Rolling Knife Meat".

Faced with Lin Xiaoshuang's demands for repayment, she remained unfazed, as if she hadn't heard a thing, and grabbed the chubby boy, determined to force her way in.

Chen Tingting had the most fiery temper. She took a few steps forward and shoved Ma's mother on the shoulder.

The red-haired delinquent was incredibly strong; Mama Ma's bulky body was pushed back two steps.

"Playing dumb?"

Chen Tingting pointed at her nose and started cursing:

"People like you can always wash your hands of everything you do."

She chuckled coldly twice:

"Some people are like washing clothes: they don't sort them, they don't fold them, and in the end, they find that the hangers are all wet."

Surrounded by several young women who mocked and ridiculed her, Ma's mother, who was used to being domineering in the village, couldn't swallow this insult.

But she also knew that she definitely couldn't beat these four delinquent girls on her own, not to mention there was a young man beside her.

She gritted her teeth, took the little chubby boy's hand, and walked out silently.

Stepping out of the gate, I came onto the dirt road.

Mama breathed a sigh of relief.

She was planning in her heart that when her husband came back from the construction site, she would definitely bring a few people to smash up the Lin family's house.

Just as she was about to take the child home.

Her gaze passed over the ditch in front of her and stopped on the Porsche Panamera with its front end lowered.

The villagers don't understand car logos, but they've seen pigs run even if they've never eaten pork.

Although Mama Ma didn't recognize it as a Panamera, she recognized the shield emblem on the front of the car—Porsche.

This kind of car costs at least a million or two.

She knew all too well what kind of background the old lady of the Lin family had; her ancestors for three generations had been poor men who toiled in the fields for a living.

This car could not possibly have been bought by Lin Xiaoshuang; it could only have belonged to that young man from the city.

This man is rich! Extremely rich!

Mother Horse stood still, motionless.

She stared at the luxury car, her eyes darting around.

The panic I felt earlier because my mom fell into the pit has long been dispelled by the sight of this mountain of gold in front of me.

A bold and shameless idea popped into her head.

These city folks are afraid of trouble!

They drive such nice cars and wear such nice clothes; they must be afraid of getting into trouble.

The opportunity to get rich is right in front of you!!

She knew that most of the reason for the incident was her own child, who had smashed someone else's bowl, torn up someone else's star-shaped jar, and even set fire to someone else's toilet.

But the greedy desire in his heart ultimately triumphed over reason.

As long as they throw a tantrum and persist relentlessly, these wealthy people will definitely be willing to pay up to avoid trouble.

Mama Ma turned around, her earlier guilty look of trying to escape completely gone.

Her small eyes, squeezed into slits by fat, were filled with greed and calculation.

She pointed her finger at Bai Li and his group, who had just walked out of the courtyard:

"Pay up!"

Mama Ma yelled, her voice shrill and grating.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoshuang was so angry that she laughed instead:

"Are you out of your mind? I'm asking you for money right now, what money do you want from me?"

Mama Ma put her hands on her hips and shouted with righteous indignation:

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

She raised her chin, spitting as she spoke.

"We have to lose money, we absolutely have to lose money!"

"But you're the ones who have to pay me back!!!"
