Chapter 226: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 226: The Plan Falls Through, Mo Fu Goes to School (1)
As soon as the words fell, the previously bustling hall gradually quieted down.
Li Zhong was caught off guard by Mo Erni'er's sudden question, and before he could figure out how to answer, Mo Erni'er, pretending to be innocent, continued, "Sorry, Grandpa Li, I've never seen you before in Mo Family Village, so I really don't know what your relationship is with Uncle Tang's family. But since Uncle Tang could allocate the new house to your family, you must be very close relatives."
At first glance, this statement seemed innocuous, but upon closer inspection, how could someone who was supposedly very close relatives not have been seen for over a decade?
Everyone unconsciously looked at Li Zhong, then glanced at Mo Qingze, whose expression didn't look too good, feeling puzzled.
When the Mo family lived in the city before, they lived together with the Li family. It was originally thought to be to share the rent, but now that the Mo family had moved into a new house, and the Li family had also moved in, this was unusual.
Sitting at a nearby table, Mo Yonglu knew that his daughter's question wasn't just out of curiosity. Considering her previous actions, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly intervened, saying, "Erni'er, sit down and have your meal."
Mo Erni'er glanced at her father with disdain in her heart, but muttered, "It's not like it's a secret. Why can't I ask?"
"You..." Mo Yonglu choked up, but regardless of what schemes his daughter had, he had to stop her now. "You've grown up, and you won't even listen to your father, huh?"
Mo Erni'er stared resentfully at Mo Yonglu. How could she have such a useless father? If he didn't help her, that would be one thing, but he's also obstructing her! But with so many people here, if she resisted her father, it wouldn't benefit her at all. Thinking of this, her prejudice against her father deepened.
Old Mo disregarded everything happening before him, picking up food with chopsticks absentmindedly. His granddaughter, who had never been on his mind, unexpectedly had such thoughts. But so what? If it worked out... she would be a great hero for the old Mo family.
But he forgot there was still a wild card!
"Why are you stopping Erni'er?"
Hong Shi, who had long been jealous and now thought she had caught an opportunity, stood up abruptly, slammed the chopsticks on the table, and pointed at Mo Qingze, questioning harshly, "Mother wants to ask, after raising you for so many years, not seeing you filial is one thing, but you've built a nice house and let outsiders live in it. Where do you put Mother's and your Second Uncle's face?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the old Mo family knew trouble was brewing.
Wu Shi, who was on the side, was anxious, pulling her mother-in-law's sleeve and pleading softly, "Mother, today is brother Tang's good day. Let's discuss it after eating. Don't let others laugh at us."
"I'm telling you, Sister-in-law, how much has Tang's family given you to speak up for them? What Mother said is not wrong. Why shouldn't she continue?"
Niu Shi, who was eating heartily, always looked up to Hong Shi as the head of the family. Now, seeing Wu Shi trying to stop her, she immediately criticized her to please Hong Shi
"Niu Shi, shut your mouth!"
Sitting at another table, Mo Yonglu regretted not stopping his daughter in time and not stopping his mother in time. Now, hearing his mother inciting trouble, he shouted angrily, wanting to go up and slap her.
They were all so troublesome!
Niu Shi was frightened by her husband's fierce appearance and suddenly burped loudly, which was heard throughout the room.
Others frowned, casting disdainful glances at Niu Shi, and even the delicious dishes still steaming on the table didn't seem as appetizing anymore.
