Shi Yihe had always been sharp-tongued and domineering. Everyone in the surrounding villages knew she favored boys over girls. Her eldest son's wife had been childless for ten years, and when she finally gave birth, the baby still didn't have the parts she wanted. The old woman was so furious she fainted.
While everyone else was watching for a laugh, Shi Yihe woke up and flipped the table. “Who dares lay a hand on my eldest granddaughter?”
Her eldest daughter-in-law said, “Mother! It's my fault I didn't give birth to a boy. Please don't throw me out!”
Shi Yihe replied, “No, no, no! This old woman is just so happy she's beside herself. You just focus on resting and getting well!”
The little granddaughter's inner monologue: [Hungry]. Shi Yihe immediately scooped her up to feed her. She wanted to help her daughter-in-law regain her strength, and then a wild boar came charging right to their door!
[Thirsty]. Shi Yihe taught everyone how to dig a well, but they somehow ended up making a pond. With big fish and meat, a feast was now easy to come by!
The whole family was curious about Shi Yihe's change. Then, in the dead of night, they heard her whispering,
“Divine Taotie beast!! Hehe!! Granddaughter!! Hehe!!!”
