2AFTER THE WEDDING, Grandma returned to her parents’ home to spend three days before headingback to her in-laws’. She had no appetite during those three days, her mind distracted. Great-Grandma cooked all her favourite foods and tried to coax1 her into eating, but she refusedeverything and moped around the house like the walking dead. Even then her appearance didn’tsuffer: her skin remained milky2, her cheeks rosy3; her bright eyes, set in dark sockets4, looked likesmall moons glowing through the mist. ‘You little urchin,’ Great-Grandma grumbled5, ‘do youthink you’re an immortal6 or a Buddha7 who doesn’t need to eat or drink? You’ll be the death ofyour own mother!’ She looked at Grandma, who sat as composed as the Guanyin bodhisattva,two tiny white tears slipping out of the corners of her eyes.
Great-Granddad awoke from his drunken stupor8 on the second day of Grandma’s return, andimmediately recalled Shan Tingxiu’s promise to give him a big black mule9. His ears rang withthe rhythmic10 clippety-clop of the mule’s hooves as it flew down the road. Such a mule: fetchingblack eyes like tiny lanterns, hooves like little goblets11. ‘You old ass,’ Great- Grandma saidanxiously, ‘your daughter won’t eat. What are we going to do?’
Great-Granddad glanced out of the corner of his drunken eyes and said. ‘She’s spoiled, spoiledrotten! Who does she think she is?’
