Chapter 438: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 438: Divine Protection Ends the Relationship (1)
Mo Qingze's face was dark, and as he looked at Mo Yongxi, his eyes carried an unprecedented chill. His heart burned with anger.
Although this cousin was of the same generation, the age gap between them was significant. He had always treated her as a junior and had been very fond of her when she was young, fulfilling his duties as an elder brother. He had thought that their recent dispute was just a minor issue among juniors, something that could be settled with a few arguments. He didn't feel it was his place to intervene. However, he never expected his cousin to be so ruthless, attempting to ruin the appearance of his eldest daughter. Such malicious intentions chilled him to the bone.
Seeing his father silent, Zhen'er thought he might not agree to punish this malicious woman. Anxiously, he said, "Father, this wicked woman set fire to our wood and damaged our fruit seedlings. Those were just things, but now she has harmed Eldest Sister so severely. You can't forgive her anymore, or she will surely do even worse to us!"
Hmph! If it weren't for fear of trouble from Second Grandfather's family, he would destroy this ugly monster's appearance now and let her taste the consequences of disfigurement, to see if she would still dare to harm others.
Yun Zhao also deeply abhorred Mo Yongxi's actions. He quietly led his frightened sister to stand before Zhen'er, his young face showing maturity beyond his years. "Father, allowing wrongdoing to go unpunished invites chaos. While you may be lenient, some people may not appreciate it and might continue to take advantage of your kindness."
At this moment, Mo Yan finished comforting Xiao Shitou and walked over. She glanced at the nearly lifeless Mo Yongxi on the ground, deep in thought. Then she turned to her father and said in a serious tone, "Father, will you continue to endure this?"
This question made not only Xin'er and the others look nervously at their father, but even Sanni'er's face changed, involuntarily tightening her grip on her brother's hand.
She knew that Grandpa and Grandma didn't get along with Sister Yan. Now that this had happened, Sister Yan might not easily let it go. But she really liked Sister Yan and her family. If the two families fell out and stopped associating, she and her brother wouldn't be able to play with Sister Yan like they do now.
Mo Qingze saw through the thoughts of his children at a glance, sighed inwardly, lowered his eyes to hide the complexity in them, and remained silent for a long time.
Just as the children were about to lose patience, Mo Qingze clenched his fists, as if he had made a firm decision, and said to Mo Yan, "Do what you want. Father supports you!"
To him, nothing was more important than his children. He had long since repaid the debts owed from years ago. He wouldn't allow those people to continue to harm his children just because of that debt.
Receiving this affirmation, Mo Yan didn't look surprised. She looked at her father, who appeared relieved, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Father!"
After speaking, she turned to Xiner, who was overjoyed, and said, "Go to Old Mo's house and have them come to take Mo Yongxi away. Don't say anything else."
"Okay!" Xin'er agreed and hurried off toward Old Mo's house. She wouldn't mind if Mo Yongxi suffered a little longer lying on the cold ground, but now that she was coughing up blood, she didn't know how badly she was hurt. If something happened, they might face big trouble.
Watching Xin'er's figure disappear, Mo Yan then instructed Zhen'er, "Go to the village chief's house. If Uncle Yang is there, please ask him to come."
Zhen'er understood his elder sister's intention, nodded heavily, and quickly ran off.
The necessary people were called, and the necessary invitations were made. Mo Yan looked at the villagers discussing fervently not far away, lifted her foot, and walked towards them. However, when those people saw her coming, they involuntarily took two steps back, their eyes filled with curiosity and obvious awe.
