Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Unfilial Descendants
“As long as we can handle one person, we can certainly get the land back.”
“Who?” Old Lady Mo raised her head, her face blank.
“Madam Xie!”
“Madam Xie.” Old Lady Mo muttered to herself several tis, then suddenly slapped her thigh, “Ah! How could I forget that wretched woman?”
Indeed, Madam Xie was ek, an easy target. These days, if you asked her to bring over waterlons, she would obediently bring them; if you asked her to do household chores, she would do them and even kept Xuexue a complete secret from Old Lady Mo, under her orders. From this point of view, starting with Madam Xie was the best strategy, especially since the land deed was also in her hands.
Realizing this, Old Lady Mo wiped her tears with her sleeve and deftly climbed up from the ground, “Right, I’ll go to that wretched woman to get the land deed.”
In truth, her intentions were not solely on the deed, sothing that everyone in the Mo family knew all too well.
Outwardly, she claid it was about the land deed, but in essence, she wanted to take over the waterlons in the field.
Indeed, waterlons were a rare variety in Moli Country. Now, they had opened up a market even in town; families from other towns had also heard and ca rushing to buy. Waterlons were being sold for one to two silver pieces each and were still in high demand.
Xie Residence
After eating breakfast, Xuexue had already gone to the waterlon field. Yesterday, Shopkeeper Fan hadn’t loaded up on waterlons, so today, she planned to pick good waterlons in the field and wait for him to load them onto his cart.
Chuner had also gone out to play, leaving only Madam Xie at ho.
When Old Lady Mo arrived, Madam Xie was in the yard hanging up freshly washed clothes.
As soon as Old Lady Mo entered the yard, she called out assertively, “Madam Xie.”
Madam Xie turned her head and saw it was Old Lady Mo. Assuming she had co to hurry her to bring waterlons over to the Mo family, she quickly said, “Mother-in-law, wait a mont, I’ll send the waterlons over after I hang these clothes.”
“Today’s visit isn’t about that.” Old Lady Mo’s faced looked stern, her eyes dark and fixated on Madam Xie.
This wretched woman was quite the actress, pretending like nothing happened even though she had clearly gone to the Village Chief’s House to report them.
“What else could it be?”
“What do you think?” Old Lady Mo’s eyes narrowed nacingly as she stared at Madam Xie.
Madam Xie shivered all over, knowing it must be about Xuexue’s visit to the Village Chief’s House last night. Old Lady Mo couldn’t go to the waterlon field today, so she ca here to take out her anger on her. She deeply regretted not going to the waterlon field with Xuexue!
“I don’t know.” Madam Xie’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, her hands clutching the damp clothes, twisting them tighter and tighter in her extre fear, worried that Old Lady Mo would, as in the past, start hitting her.
“You don’t know? I see you act all obedient on the surface, but in reality, you’re very scheming, daring to play tricks on this old woman.” Old Lady Mo gritted her teeth, growing angrier as she spoke. She took two or three steps forward and reached out to twist Madam Xie’s ear, twisting it hard several tis.
Madam Xie’s tears rolled down, yet she clenched her teeth, daring not to make a sound.
From her past experiences at the Mo house, if she dared to make a noise, Old Lady Mo would beat her even more severely.
“Smack!”
A gust of chilly wind swept through, followed by a scream from Old Lady Mo, “Ah…!”
Madam Xie rubbed her painfully twisted ear and turned around to steady herself, only to see Xuexue, who had sohow appeared behind them holding a stick, glaring furiously at Old Lady Mo.
The noise just now had co from her hitting Old Lady Mo’s arm with the stick.
“You…you unfilial descendent, how dare you hit your grandmother?” Old Lady Mo’s arm had been struck by Xuexue, the pain contorting her face.
“You old hag, repeatedly bullying my mother and , always opposing us. I’ve endured you for a long ti. Today, I’m hitting you.” Xuexue faced her unafraid.
