Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Thick-skinned
The villagers were not pleased to hear this and said one after another, “We may be poor, but we are poor with dignity. The Mo family is so rich, why would you still go and steal Madam Xie’s things?”
“Exactly, how could you say such things about us?” the villagers accused in chorus.
How could Mo Xiaoqiang and his group care about what others were saying? Escaping was more critical, so they desperately used their hands to push through the crowd, squeezing out with Auntie Sun in tow.
As several young and strong young n broke through the throng and slipped away, only Old Lady Mo remained, an elderly woman with a piece of cloth in her left hand and a chicken clutched in her right, impeded by her own possessions and moving slower, she found herself surrounded by the angry crowd.
“Get out of the way, get out of the way, she’s my daughter-in-law, it’s none of your damn business!” Surrounded by the people, Old Lady Mo beca embarrassingly angry, bellowing at the top of her lungs while cursing vehently.
“Didn’t your Mo family divorce her already? You old hag, you’re shalessly greedy for others’ belongings,” soone in the crowd jeered loudly.
“That’s our family’s business, none of your damn business!” Old Lady Mo was extrely infuriated, but because her arms were full of stuff, she failed to break through the human wall after several attempts.
“Big Bull, co out!” soone in the crowd bellowed, “Big Bull, co over here quickly, let’s help you catch Old Lady Mo from the Mo family.”
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mo was so scared that she trembled, letting out an eerie shriek, “Oh my goodness!” She even dropped the prized chicken from her hands and frantically fought her way through the crowd, running off in a most embarrassing fashion.
The villagers burst into laughter, “Ah hahaha…! Old Lady Mo, don’t you want your chicken?”
In fact, Big Bull was not around at all, soone was just playing a prank to scare Old Lady Mo.
Big Bull had not even stood up, and all the people from the Mo family had scattered in a swarm, leaving Mo Yaner standing there, clueless.
“Wife, they’ve all run away, should we chase this one out too?” Big Bull asked, pointing at Mo Yaner.
Before Xuexue could speak, Madam Xie imdiately stood protectively in front of her, “Don’t chase her away, don’t chase her away, she is Xuexue’s older sister, my eldest daughter.”
“Hmph,” Mo Yaner responded unappreciatively.
That night, Mo Yaner stayed at the old residence. Although Madam Xie had been beaten by Old Lady Mo until her face was bruised, she was still very happy.
On the contrary, Mo Yaner’s face remained sullen and she was silent.
It wasn’t until Madam Xie had set the table with food and everyone sat down to eat, looking at the chicken dish on the table, that Mo Yaner asked, “Mother, do you eat like this with such luxury every day?”
The chicken on the table was actually the one that Old Lady Mo had grabbed. She had thrown it away by accident while fleeing, and a kind villager had caught it and brought it back. Xuexue decided to end it once and for all, eat it, and see if they would still think about it.
“No, no, Yaner, you have not co back for so long; your mother cooked it especially for you,” Madam Xie eagerly tried to please her.
Despite Mo Yaner’s cold deanor toward Madam Xie during her visit, it did not affect Madam Xie’s motherly affection at all.
“Father and Concubine were right, you’re using stolen things; I won’t eat it.” She said, turning away resolutely.
“This… Ah! You child, I can’t seem to explain it to you! It’s not stolen, not stolen, this chicken was sent over by Old Master Mo.”
“Mother, even now you lie? I know you hate Concubine for taking Father away, but you can’t just steal Concubine’s money to squander!” Mo Yaner stood up in indignation, lifting the basin of chicken, “If it’s sothing from the Mo family, I’ll return it to them.” After speaking, she turned and walked away.
