Farm Girl's Manor Chapter 229 - Father Mo’s Plans Foiled As He Tries To Advanc

"Mr. Mo, rest assured, now that everything is clear, no one will bring this up again in the future."

Even the most respected person present supported Mo Qingze, so the villagers, who hadn’t thought he was in the wrong, echoed the sentint and praised Mo Qingze’s integrity, with their words tinged with contempt for Old Man Mo’s family.

At this ti, the people of Lao Mo’s House wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it, especially Old Man Mo, Mo Hong’s, and Mo Erni, whose faces were simply too embarrassing to behold.

Mo Erni clenched her fists tightly, why, why did things turn out like this?

She had thought the Li Family’s refusal to leave the Mo Family could only be for one of two reasons: either the Li Family mbers were servants of the Mo Family, or the two families were so close that Mo Qingze was willing to let them stay.

But she eliminated the first option right from the start! If the Li Family were servants of the Mo Family, why would Mo Qingze speak so evasively when asked about it?

During all this ti, she had heard nothing about the Li Family selling themselves into servitude to the Mo Family, so she assud it was the second scenario. That’s why she wanted to use this issue to show everyone that the Mo Family would prefer to welco outsiders into their ho rather than let their own uncles and aunts stay.

If the Mo Family couldn’t stand the pressure and kicked the Li Family out, outsiders would only say the Mo Family was hypocritical. As long as she could make a rip in the Mo Family’s good reputation, she would find a way to completely ruin it.

If the Mo Family called the Li Family bought servants, would the Li Family be happy about it? Then she would stir up trouble by getting the Li Family to reveal the truth, and the Mo Family’s reputation would be equally stinky.

If the Mo Family didn’t kick the Li Family out, she could simply invite the two closest old folks to co and stay, and once they moved in, their children and grandchildren, out of filial piety, would naturally have to move in as well.

But she never expected the reason why the Li Family moved in with the Mo Family to be like this; she had been wrong from the very beginning, what use was there in any of her sches?

Mo Erni felt bitter hatred gnashing her teeth inside. She had hoped to use this issue to make the two old folks see her in a new light and give up their enslavent and torture of her, but now everything was over! With the old lady’s character, she would only think about how to tornt her more.

Everyone praised Mo Qingze’s benevolent action, and the sha-faced people of Lao Mo’s House couldn’t stand to stay any longer. Old Man Mo forced a stiff smile and said to Mo Qingze, ’There is sothing at ho,’ before leading the big family scurrying away.

Watching the retreating figures of Old Man Mo’s family, which could practically be described as a rout, a number of villagers couldn’t help but snicker maliciously.

"You little wretch, it’s all your fault, you little wretch, why don’t you just die!"

Before they had even left the Mo Family’s gate, Mrs. Hong pushed Mo Erni to the ground, straddling and beating her while Mrs. Niu, her own mother, cowered aside, not daring to plead with her furious mother-in-law.

In the end, it was Mo Yonglu who couldn’t stand by and stopped Mrs. Hong, but even he didn’t look kindly upon Mo Erni. He really didn’t know what to do with this daughter of his.

Mo Erni lay on the ground, her eyes overflowing with hatred as she watched her so-called relatives walk further away. Slowly, she picked herself up from the ground and fixed her gaze on the Mo Family’s gate, faintly hearing the laughter inside!

Hmph, she wouldn’t let it go just like that!

...

The villagers gradually left, and Owner Mu of Mu’s Shop also bid his farewell after leaving behind a cart of congratulatory gifts. Mo Yan fetched a roebuck and half a wild sheep from the cellar as a return gift.

The Punishing Shopkeeper ca with a cart full of congratulatory gifts as well, including his own, Young Master Yan’s, and Xiao Ruiyuan’s.

Mo Yan hadn’t expected the two of them to send gifts, so he wrapped up two more portions of ga as return gifts and asked the Punishing Shopkeeper to take them back.
