Petty and malicious, greedy for wealth, hypocritically virtuous!
These twelve words couldn’t be a more fitting description for Mo Hong’s family, yet she was Mo Qingze’s natural second aunt and the original matriarch’s second grandmother.
Whenever Mo Hong’s family appeared, Mo Yan’s face would darken terribly, and upon hearing her never-ending string of abuses, her face showed unabashed fury and disgust!
It was peculiar that this family had supposedly fled to Yongcheng with the villagers, yet for so reason, they turned up here.
"Look how low you’ve stooped, Mo Qingze. Back in the day, your mother scorned you for cursing your parents, kindly took you into our ho, raised you into adulthood, saw that you had a clever mind, and we all tightened our belts to send you to school for an education. But how did you repay your mother? You took your mother’s Silver Coins to build your reputation, causing your mother’s granddaughter to fall ill without money for treatnt, dying on the street. Oh God, why don’t you open your eyes and strike down this evil offspring for his heartlessness and immorality..."
Mo Hong’s family sat on the ground with a flop, slapping her thick palms on her thighs, crying and cursing loudly, every word a taphorical pile of filth dumped on Mo Qingze’s head.
When Mo Qingze caught sight of Mo Hong’s family, he couldn’t react at first, and by the ti he gathered himself and heard her nasty words, his whole face turned black!
Just as he stepped forward, Mo Qingze’s hand was grabbed. Turning around, he saw his daughter with a stern face, shaking her head at him.
"Father, this isn’t Mo Family Village, nobody’s going to believe her nonsense easily! Let her rant, I want to see where she gets the face to fabricate such lies!"
If she is this venomous now, wait until I sha her so fiercely later; I’m already tempted to smack her face right now!
"Sister... Sister, it’s... it’s the second grandma!"
Xin Er clutched her sister’s hand tightly, articulating each word through clenched teeth, her face etched with fury. Zhenzhen also held onto her older sister’s sleeve, her young, tender face no longer carrying a hint of a smile, and a trace of fear lurked within.
Feeling the anger and unease from the two little ones, Mo Yan was filled with imnse hatred. She harbored no grudge against Mo Hong’s family, but the original owner’s mories and her siblings’ reactions made it impossible for her to overlook this ignorant and vile woman.
"God damn it, my poor granddaughter was only six years old when she was hard to death by her Count cousin. How could God not see this, not strike down this white sheep in wolf’s clothing..."
Mo Hong’s family’s howling and cursing were incessant, her mouth speaking of her granddaughter’s misfortune, but her eyes were dry, shedding not a single tear. Squinting through her slit eyes and seeing the Mo Family people standing silently one by one, she thought they were intimidated, and the thought of imminent benefits made her heart swell with triumph, crying and cursing even louder.
"Erniu, why does this lady act like a crazy witch? Can she really be the aunt of the benevolent Mo?"
The simple and honest Zhang Dayou scratched his head, asking his childhood friend with confusion.
"Hmm, it’s possible! If she weren’t a crazy witch, how could she create such a commotion? Look, the Mo Family hasn’t said a word, she might be so poor relative who’s shown up from sowhere, envious of the Mo’s benevolence, aiming to wreak havoc on their possessions!"
Zhang Erniu smacked his lips in response, saying he really couldn’t argue with that!
Although the two were whispering, Zhang Dayou had a naturally loud voice. The villagers watching the commotion heard everything and nodded in agreent, pointing and gesturing towards Mo Hong’s family disapprovingly.
Dirty and disheveled, cursing and yelling, if she wasn’t a madwoman, she was definitely here to make trouble. They all wanted to receive cotton and food and couldn’t let this brazen woman have her way!
Mo Hong’s family, in the midst of her rant, heard the villagers’ murmurs and suddenly choked, unable to catch her breath, coughing violently with her face turning tomato red, snot and tears saring her face, making her look even more like a madwoman.
The laughter grew louder around her. These villagers didn’t recognize Mo Hong’s family and were unaware of her relationship and quarrels with the Mo Family, but compared to Mo Hong’s family, who could only scream and curse, they felt more favorable towards the Mo Family, who had just done them a favor.
As the murmurs grew, Mo Hong’s family, having finally stopped coughing, realized she was not in Mo Family Village anymore and these people would not be swayed by her usual tactics. She was at a loss, whether to continue cursing or to stop.
Seeing the tide turn against her, Mo Hong’s family finally decided to use her nastiest trick. With a hateful smack on her behind, she stood up, glared with dead fish eyes towards the crowd and bellowed, "You’re all dead inside, seeing bullied and yet not lifting a finger to help?"
No sooner had she finished than more than thirty people squeezed through the crowd to join her. Seeing them, Mo Hong’s family beca even more insolent, staring fiercely at Mo Yan and the others, before pointing at Mo Qingze and cursing furiously:
"You unfilial thing, seeing your relatives from your old ho and not even bothering to greet them, do you wish to deny you’re a mber of the Mo Family? Aren’t you afraid your ancestors will co for you at night?!"
With things having reached this point, Mo Qingze could no longer keep silent. He was a descendant of the Mo Family, these people were truly his relatives with connections of blood and marriage, facts he could not deny!
Mo Yanshen, fully aware of her father’s temperant, how could she let him face this? She stepped forward to shield her younger uncle and aunt, looking at the people rallying behind Mo Hong’s family with a cold smile tugging at the corner of her mouth: Thinking they could make her family give in like they used to?
In your dreams!
"What are you saying, Second Grandmother? Were you not elated at first sight of us, leaving my father too happy to react on the spot? I am very happy as well! When we were fleeing disaster, Second Grandmother, you took advantage of my father’s absence from ho to barge in with Second Uncle and Second Aunt, kidnapped our family’s last two chickens, took all our grain, and said that my family was born to be lowly and would just be wasting food if we lived, it would be better to feed you instead; these words I’ll never forget as long as I live! Now that we have t, shouldn’t Second Grandmother return the grain to my family?"
Mo Yan spoke with a gentle tone and respectful posture, but her words successfully made Mo Hong’s family and her supporters’ faces change colors.
If it weren’t for this despicable Second Grandmother who had stolen the Mo Family’s food, the original owner of this body would not have starved to death during the escape. It could be said that the death of the original owner was indirectly caused by Mo Hong’s family, and since she had taken over this body by a twist of fate, it was her responsibility to make Mo Hong’s family pay for the original owner’s death!
Upon hearing this, the villagers’ eyes widened. Even those who were initially skeptical stared at Mo Hong’s family and her supporters sporting expressions as if they had eaten excrent, leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind.
Is this really a relative? Even enemies wouldn’t act like this!
Even with her thick skin, Mo Hong’s family couldn’t stand up to so many contemptuous stares and, furious and embarrassed, she charged towards Mo Yan. Opening her palm, she aid a slap at Mo Yan’s face, snarling, "You lowlife..."
