Chapter 47: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 47: A Family of High-Quality Goods
Sharp-tongued, greedy for money, false righteousness!
These twelve words couldn't be more appropriate to describe Mo Hongshi. Yet, she was Mo Qingze's own second aunt, the original owner's step-grandmother.
As soon as Mo Hongshi appeared, Mo Yan's face darkened significantly. Hearing her incessant cursing only fueled Mo Yan's anger and disgust, which she didn't bother to hide!
However, this family had clearly fled to Yongcheng with the rest of the villagers. Mo Yan wondered why they had shown up here.
"You, Mo Qingze! Back then, I didn't mind that you were orphaned and widowed. I kindly took you into our home, raised you, and even tightened our belts to send you to school. But how did you repay me? You took my money and built a reputation for yourself, causing my granddaughter to fall ill and die on the road because we couldn't afford treatment. Heavens above, why didn't you just strike down this ungrateful wretch..."
Mo Hongshi sat on the ground, slapping her thighs with her fat hands, crying and cursing loudly, directing every foul word at Mo Qingze.
Mo Qingze, upon seeing Mo Hongshi, couldn't react at first. When he finally comprehended her ranting, his entire face turned black!
Just as he was about to step forward, his hand was pulled back. Turning around, he saw his daughter with a stern face, shaking her head at him.
"Dad, this isn't the Mo family village. Nobody here will believe her nonsense! Let her curse; I want to see where she gets the nerve to make up such things!"
Mo Yan knew her father's temperament well. There was no way he would step forward. She took a step forward, blocking her father's siblings, and looked at the crowd with a cold smile: Did they expect her to compromise with them like before? Dream on!
"Look at what she's saying! When they first saw you, dad wasn't too happy and didn't react immediately, right? Even I was happy! When we were fleeing, this Second Grandma and her family broke into our house while you were away and took our only two chickens, all our grain, and said we were all born to be lowly, living was just a waste of food. They even said it was better to feed you guys instead. I'll never forget those words! Now that we've met again, shouldn't the Second Grandma return our grain?"
Mo Yan spoke softly and respectfully, yet her words made Mo Hongshi and the others' faces change drastically.
If it wasn't for this despicable Second Grandma taking away the Mo family's grain, the original owner wouldn't have starved to death on the way to escape. One could say that the original owner's death was indirectly caused by Mo Hongshi. Since she accidentally inherited this body, she had a responsibility to make Mo Hongshi pay for the original owner's death!
Hearing this, the villagers widened their eyes. Those who had previously been skeptical couldn't help but understand now, seeing the shameless expressions on Mo Hongshi and the others' faces.
Are these really relatives? Even enemies wouldn't act like this!
Despite Mo Hongshi's thick skin, she couldn't withstand the disdainful gazes. She rushed to Mo Yan in embarrassment, raised her palm, and slapped it towards Mo Yan's face: "You lowly..."
