"That’s right, it’s best to do less of these conscienceless things to avoid retribution falling on your descendants! It’s just pitiful for Wu’s mother and daughter, how will they live their days from now on!"
"Alas..."
...
The villagers cursed Lao Mo’s House while looking with pity at the swaying mother and daughter of Mo Wu clan, shaking their heads and sighing.
"Hmph, no matter what, this is still a matter of our Lao Mo’s House and none of you have any say in it! If you really are kind-hearted, then take the mother and daughter ho with you and take care of their every need! If you can’t do that, then shut your traps!"
Mo Hong’s family was so angered by the villagers’ gossip that her nose twisted.
Those two worthless wretches, of no use at all, did they really think they could continue to rely on their family? Now that they had finally gotten rid of this burden, even if they were to be scolded, so what? Were they really expected to treat them like ancestors and worship them? Besides, how much is a reputation really worth? These two disobedient wretches brought this upon themselves, so what does it have to do with her?
Mo Hong’s shaless words stopped the villagers in their tracks. These days, everyone’s life was hard; they could help the mother and daughter with a couple of als, but beyond that, they truly were willing but unable.
For Mo Wu, who still appeared weak, this outco was extrely satisfying. She and her daughter had finally separated from Lao Mo’s House, their reputation was intact, and they had even gained the sympathy of the entire village. The hardships they had endured before were worth it! If it weren’t for the inappropriate circumstance, she would really want to let out a loud laugh.
In her sleeve, her hand clenched the divorce paper tightly. Just for this piece of paper, she had put so much effort into it. This ti, if it weren’t for her feigned serious "wounding" and "loss of original energy" and for Dani becoming "disabled," would those people have been so eager to get rid of the two "burdens" and given her a divorce paper so easily?
Though Mo Wu felt pained about the loss of three taels of silver, thinking about the prospect of living a good life with her children freely, the pang in her heart vanished without a trace! From now on, she was completely disconnected from this ho that couldn’t offer a shred of warmth!
Yet thinking of the three children she couldn’t take with her for now, Mo Wu began to worry again, silently praying that the rest of her plan would succeed.
Seeing that Mo Hong’s family had silenced the villagers, she strutted around like a victorious rooster. She spat at the mother and daughter of Mo Wu clan in triumph, brushed off non-existent dust from her body, turned around, entered the house, and with a loud thud, she slamd the door shut, locking out the ddling villagers and their disdainful gazes.
"Mo... Danier, don’t be sad. A family so heartless and ungrateful, it’s better to be away from them! If you mother and daughter have nowhere to go, co and stay at my house. There’s nothing much, but there’s a spare room. If you don’t mind, you can stay there!"
A woman stepped forward and after consoling Mo Wu a bit, she invited the mother and daughter to stay at her place.
It’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but much harder to send charcoal in snowy weather!
Mo Wu had never expected that this woman, who she had only exchanged greetings with a few tis, would be so kind. She thanked her with great gratitude, "Sister-in-law Lian, thank you for your kindness, but Mo Danier and I have sowhere to go, we won’t trouble your family!"
Hearing this, the woman was sowhat disbelieving, "Sister, don’t fool , where can you go without any relatives?"
Soone else chid in persuasively, "Yeah, Sister, you and your daughter should go stay with Sister-in-law Lian. Wait until you’ve recovered a bit and found a place to settle down before you leave. It’s not too late."
After thanking them for their kindness, Mo Wu was about to say sothing when she saw Mo Yan, Lixiu, and the others carrying a door plank over, and a smile imdiately spread across her face.
When everyone saw the door plank, they realized Mo Yan had specifically co to fetch soone. They rembered the frequency of the visits between them and suddenly understood, feeling happy for Wu’s mother and daughter.
Indeed, Mo Yan and company had co for Wu’s mother and daughter. After exchanging a few words with the villagers who had co to greet them, they carefully helped Mo Danier, who dared not move from Mo Wu’s side, onto the door plank and settled her down.
Having thanked the villagers who had offered to help, Mo Yan and Lixiu carried Mo Danier towards ho, with Xin Er and Tang Xin supporting Mo Wu on both sides.
Since they had staged this play, they naturally had to perform it well: after all, Mo Wu had just had a "miscarriage"!
