Chapter 149: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 149: Causing Trouble (2)
Mo Yongxi naturally heard the murmurs of the crowd, almost spitting blood out of anger. She looked at Mo Yan, whose clothes were almost new and exquisitely crafted, and her beautiful appearance, with eyes burning with jealousy, wishing she could tear her apart on the spot.
Mo Yan seemed to sense something and glanced at Mo Yongxi. Naturally, she didn't miss the jealousy in her eyes. She just smiled indifferently and shifted her gaze to the broken seedlings.
There were about twenty broken seedlings, almost each one broken into three segments. How much hatred must Mo Yongxi have for their family to do such a foolish thing?
Before long, Mo Qingze arrived. Mo Yan briefly explained the situation to him and showed him the broken seedlings. Mo Qingze's expression changed immediately. He didn't say anything, just looked at Mo Yongxi with a cold gaze.
Shortly after, Old Mo, supported by Hong Shi and Mo Yonglu, hurried over. Wu Shi and Niu Shi, along with several older children, followed behind them.
"Those damn bastards are falsely accusing my daughter of doing bad things. Why don't they all rot their tongues?"
As they were still halfway up the mountain, Hong Shi's loud curses could already be heard.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned ugly. If they had previously not cared about how the Mo family would handle Mo Yongxi, now they all wished the Mo family would take this opportunity to teach Old Mo's family a lesson.
"Shut your filthy mouth!"
Old Mo glared at Hong Shi fiercely. He shouldn't have let this idiot follow along.
Hong Shi shrank her neck and reluctantly closed her mouth. Since being scolded by Old Mo a few times, she dared not be as presumptuous in front of him as she used to be in Mo Village.
As the Mo family approached, Mo Yan didn't even bother with pleasantries. She directly asked Old Mo, "Grandfather, your daughter intentionally broke the seedlings in our house. How do you think we should handle this?"
She didn't even want to address Mo Yongxi as "aunt."
Old Mo's face had already put on a deliberately kind smile, intending to talk about family affection with Mo Qingze. But Mo Yan interrupted him, and his smile froze on his face. "Yan'er, Yantou, your, your aunt was just fooling around. She didn't mean to..."
Mid-sentence, he met Mo Yan's expressionless gaze and the mocking faces of the villagers. Even Old Mo, with skin as thick as a city wall, couldn't continue.
"Aunt is fifteen this year. If it weren't for last year's disaster, she would probably be married by now! Grandfather, do you think a fifteen-year-old girl would just be fooling around, breaking the seedlings in our house like this?" Mo Yan said emotionlessly, picking up the broken seedlings and throwing them in front of Old Mo.
Old Mo looked at the seedlings that had been broken into several pieces on the ground, his face turning ugly. He blamed his daughter for being stupid, for being caught doing bad things, and secretly resented Mo Yan for not giving face, insisting on making this matter public, and embarrassing their family in front of everyone.
"What do you want? With your few dying seedlings, can they compare to your aunt's preciousness?" Hong Shi stepped on a broken branch, pointing at Mo Yan and shouting.
Mo Yan bent down, picked up a seedling from under her feet, and smiled meaningfully, "Second Grandma, you're right. These twenty or so seedlings were transported from thousands of miles away. Just the transportation costs alone were exorbitant! Moreover, this Longan seedling in my hand, only I have it in the entire Da Chu. It's much more precious than your daughter, who only knows how to cause trouble and embarrass the Mo family."
In just a few words, Mo Yan belittled Mo Yongxi to nothing, but no one thought she was wrong.
"You bitch, how dare you slander my daughter like this! I'll kill you, you wild seed with no mother!"
Hong Shi was furious, her chubby body pouncing toward Mo Yan, wanting to crush her to the ground and teach her a lesson.
But before she could reach her, a white figure rushed out from behind Mo Yan, directly knocking Hong Shi to the ground, and opened its bloody mouth, biting toward Hong Shi's neck...
