Chapter 229: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 229: The Plan Falls Through, Mo Fu Goes to School (4)
"Master Mo, rest assured, now that everything is clear, no one will bring this up again."
Even the highest-ranking people present supported Mo Qingze. The villagers, who had originally not thought he was in the wrong, also echoed their praises, commending Mo Qingze's righteousness. Their words were full of disdain for the old Mo family.
At this moment, the people from the old Mo family wished they could dig a hole and hide in it, especially Old Mo, Hong Shi, and Mo Erni'er. Their faces were unbearable to look at.
Mo Erni'er clenched her fists tightly. Why did things turn out like this?
She had originally thought that there were only two reasons why the Li family refused to leave the Mo family. Either the Li family were servants of the Mo family, or the relationship between the two families was too close, and Mo Qingze was willing to let them stay.
But she had ruled out the first possibility! If the Li family were servants of the Mo family, why did Mo Qingze speak vaguely when asked?
After such a long time, she hadn't heard of the Li family selling themselves to the Mo family, so she thought it was the second possibility. So she wanted to use this matter to tell others that the Mo family would rather welcome outsiders than let their own relatives stay.
If the Mo family couldn't withstand the pressure and kicked out the Li family, others would only say that the Mo family was hypocritical. As long as she could tarnish the Mo family's reputation a bit, she would have a way to completely ruin their reputation.
If the Mo family said that the Li family were bought servants, would the Li family be happy? Then she could sow discord and make the Li family reveal the truth, and the reputation of the Mo family would still be tarnished.
If the Mo family didn't kick out the Li family, then the two closest old folks would be invited to stay. Once they moved in, their sons and daughters would naturally follow suit to be filial.
But she never expected that the reason why the Li family moved into the Mo family was like this. She had made a mistake from the beginning. What use was all her scheming now?
Mo Erni'er gritted her teeth with hatred. She had originally wanted to use this matter to make the two old folks look at her differently and give up tormenting her. But now everything was ruined! With the temperament of the old witch, she would only think of ways to torment her.
The people praised Mo Qingze's righteous actions. The members of the old Mo family couldn't bear to stay any longer. Old Mo forced a stiff smile, said something about having matters at home, and left with his family in a hurry.
Seeing the almost fleeing figures of the old Mo family, many villagers couldn't help but smirk secretly.
"You little vixen, it's all because of you, you little vixen, why don't you just die!"
Before even leaving the gate of the Mo family, Hong Shi pushed Mo Erni'er to the ground and beat her up. Niu Shi, as a mother, cowered aside, not daring to plead with her angry mother-in-law.
In the end, it was Mo Yonglu who couldn't bear it and stopped Hong Shi, but he didn't look kindly at Mo Erni'er either. He truly didn't know how to teach this daughter of his.
Mo Erni'er lay on the ground, glaring with intense hatred at her so-called relatives as they walked farther away. She slowly got up from the ground, staring fixedly at the gate of the Mo family, faintly able to hear laughter and chatter from inside!
Hmph, she wouldn't let it go like this!
---
The villagers gradually left, and Mu Hang, the shopkeeper, also left after leaving a cart full of gifts. Mo Yan took out a roe deer and half a wild sheep from the cellar as a return gift.
Similarly, shopkeeper Xing also brought a cart full of gifts, some from himself, some from Master Yan, and some from Xiao Ruiyuan.
Mo Yan didn't expect that the two of them would also give gifts. She packed two more return gifts with wild animals and asked shopkeeper Xing to take them back.
