At the same time, in the Kong house, Kong Li found out that the jar filled with sauce that she had hidden under her bed was gone!
Kong Li was so shocked that she immediately dropped the dry vegetable buns on the floor. Because the meat that was supposed to be cooked for her and her sister was gone, Master Xiao had no choice but to cook a wild shepherd purse and use it to make buns.
Even though it was not as delicious as pork belly, the two sisters did not say anything as they had a jar of meat sauce hidden in their room but now it was gone!
“He must have taken it! I knew it! I knew it! That mer has no shame, he is even stealing from his daughters now!” Kong Li was so disappointed in her daddy that she did not even want to call him Daddy.
Kong Pili too did not stop her as she was angry as well, it was fine if they could not eat meat but now they could not even eat dried-up meat. What were they in the eyes of their daddy?
“I am going to ask him!” Kong Li rushed out of the room in her agitation, she really wanted to ask what wrong had she committed for her daddy to treat her like this.
Kong Pili opened her mouth but in the end, she did not say anything to stop Kong Li. Indeed, they needed to ask what their daddy was thinking, after slaving all day in the kitchen they only got dry buns which were cooked without a care and yet even their last ration was snatched away from them.
She wanted to ask if her father felt even the slightest bit guilty about what he did.
With that, she chased after Kong Li as well.
Master Xiao was eating vegetable buns in the small kitchen of his courtyard when —
BANG!
“Cough! Cough!” Master Xiao choked when the door banged against the wall. He was so startled that he nearly jumped off his seat. He turned around and looked at the culprit, when he saw that it was Kong Li, his expression turned twisted.
“Damn girl! What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to kill me? Is that what you are trying to do?” Master Xiao raised his hand to slap Kong Li when the little girl glared at him like a ferocious wolf cub.
“Did you steal it?” Kong Li asked in a low and threatening voice.
When Master Xiao heard her question, he paused in his actions and guiltily turned his eyes away, “I have no idea what you are talking about.”
He was not going to admit it. Though it was easier to steal from the room of his daughters, it was humiliating to accept it.
“There is no need to lie! I know you did it! You always take my things and give them to my eldest aunt and second aunt! You also handed her all the pork belly and pig feet, and did not even leave a single thing for me or my sister!” Kong Li knew her daddy well, what could she not understand when he looked away?
He was clearly guilty of snatching things from his daughters and did not want to admit it as it would embarrass him.
Master Xiao’s face turned sullen when he heard Kong Li scream and shout. He looked around and then pinched her ear, “Damn you, you wretched girl, how dare you question your daddy? Your aunts are your elders of course you have to be filial to them” he did not pay attention to Kong Li’s screams of pain, instead he twisted her ears even more when she screamed.
Hmph, how dare she question him! He will teach her a good lesson that she will forget about even raising her voice at him.
“Don’t bully my sister!” Kong Pili shouted at Master Xiao. “If you do not let go of her now, I will call Daddy Guo and tell him what good things you have done!”
When Master Xiao heard the words of his eldest daughter he immediately let go of Kong Li. He turned and glared at her before saying, “Your wings have hardened eh? You actually dared to threaten your daddy now!”
“No matter how much my wings have hardened they still lack in many ways when compared to yours Daddy. You actually started stealing from your daughters now! It is not bad enough that you give away everything that our mother brings us to our aunties and their children. You are not even ashamed to steal something that belongs to your daughters.”
Master Xiao’s face turned black when he heard the words of his daughter. His glare intensified as he said, “What do you mean by stealing? What you have is all given to you by my wife. Before your mother, she is my wife—why can’t I take it?”
“Do I still need to ask you two?”
He nodded to himself looking satisfied.
“Yes, you do!” Kong Li screamed. “Because those are our things! Mother brought them for us and not for your family who always leeches off ours! And that jar of sauce was something that our friend gifted to us! You had no right to snatch it from us!”
“Mother did not buy it!”
Kong Li’s scream resonated in the courtyard.
Master Xiao who did not expect his daughter to scream like this and was stunned but then a second later he raised his hand and started slapping Kong Li on the back.
“How dare you call your elders leeches? How dare you!?”
“Beat me, continue beating me!” Kong Li finally had enough. “We work all day long and yet we only get dried buns to eat. Your sisters don’t work but they eat meat! They eat everything that we should be eating. You keep saying that we need to be filial to our elders but I never saw my cousins being filial to my mother?”
“Why don’t they bring meat and vegetables? Are you going to say that they are poor? If they are poor then they should have the face to reject something they cannot return! Why do they get to eat a feast and my sister and I can’t even scraps? Why!!?”
