Chapter 92: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 92: Acting Crazy (Part 1)
Seeing that a heavy slap was about to land on Xin'er's face, Mo Yan reacted quickly and hurriedly pulled Xin'er away, narrowly avoiding the blow. However, Mo Yongxi's long nails, covered in black mud, still scratched Xin'er's fair cheek, leaving behind a few red marks.
Mo Yongxi exerted too much force and couldn't stop herself in time, causing her to stumble forward and almost fall to the ground.
Seeing that he didn't hit anyone, Mo Yongxi, unwilling to give up, rushed forward again, swinging his arms to strike.
Mo Qingze stepped forward, blocking in front of his children, and grabbed her wrist, sternly shouting, "Mo Yongxi, what are you doing?"
"Pah!" Mo Yongxi tilted her head back and spat at Mo Qingze, "You white-eyed wolf, what are you? Let go of me!"
Mo Qingze trembled with anger upon hearing this, "Look at yourself, do you look like a girl?"
Mo Yongxi glared at him hatefully, resembling Hong Shi in appearance, expression, and even temperament, inheriting her characteristics completely.
"Hmph, my Ah Xi, you heartless person, not even worthy of being disciplined!"
At this moment, Hong Shi heard the commotion and walked out of the house. Seeing her beloved daughter being bullied, she grabbed the broom at the door and swung it at Mo Qingze.
Mo Qingze quickly let go and stepped back with Mo Yan and the others, avoiding being hit.
"Mom, they bullied me, hurry, hit them!" Seeing reinforcements arriving, Mo Yongxi, quick to blame others, quickly incited Hong Shi to act.
Hong Shi, upon hearing this, felt a surge of old and new grievances in her heart and rushed forward with the broom.
"Mom, let's talk things out. Please don't resort to violence!" Wu Shi, rushing out of the kitchen, grabbed her mother-in-law and said, "Cousin and his family are here to pay New Year's respects. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we behaved like this?"
"New Year's respects? I don't care. Get out of my way, you wretched woman, or I'll kick you out!" Hong Shi spat at Wu Shi, glaring at Mo Yan and the others with hostility.
Wu Shi looked embarrassed but refused to give in, hastily signaling to Mo Yan with her eyes.
Mo Yan frowned. She didn't want to get entangled with this shrew and her daughter, nor did she want to see Wu Shi in a difficult position. So she said to Mo Qingze, "Dad, since Grandma doesn't welcome us, let's leave. It's better not to upset her."
Mo Qingze hesitated, "Dad... Dad wants to go in and see your second grandpa before leaving."
Despite the strained relationship between the two families, he still regarded his second uncle as a father figure and couldn't help but worry about him.
Mo Yan understood his feelings, but seeing the hostile attitudes of Hong Shi and her daughter, she shook her head and advised Mo Qingze, "Let's not anger Grandma. We'll visit Grandpa next time when we have the chance!"
"Next time? Hmph, unless you hand over the secret technique to rescue the second son, otherwise, even if I die, I won't let you bunch of villains into my old Mo family's gate."
Hong Shi's eyes lit up, and she uttered this threatening remark without a second thought.
Mo Yan twitched her eye corner, looking at Wu Shi as if she were looking at a fool. Did she really think they were eager to enter this gate? Where did she get her confidence from?
The reason they came to pay New Year's respects today was just to avoid gossip. Now that their intentions had been fulfilled, and Hong Shi didn't appreciate it but instead drove them away, others would only say that Hong Shi was being unreasonable, not that their family was at fault.
"Dad, we still have to visit other families for New Year's greetings. There's no carriage today, so we need to go home early!"
Xin'er and Zhen'er also tugged at their father's sleeves, urging him. They never wanted to see the fierce grandma and her bad daughter again in their lives.
