Jiang Hongying’s toughness made Old Master Mo realize that he really was too kind to these people.
These people did not fear him, the family head, at all.
Although he was the head of the Mo family, he had been relatively kinder to the kids at home and was not as dominant as the old masters of other wealthy families who raised their kids to fear and be careful around them.
The current times were tough, and thus he treated the kids more compassionately. While his second son’s family was all right, Jiang Hongying saw his kindness as a sign that he could be “bullied easily”.
Without wasting time to speak to her, he walked to Mo Yunhao with a feather duster. “Put your hand out.”
Mo Yunhao was frightened to wits. “Grand… grandfather…”
“Father, Haohao is…” Jiang Hongying still wanted to object.
“Shut up. You will not be able to escape either. I will punish you together later.
“Put your hand out!” Old Master Mo shouted.
Mo Yunhao sought help from his mother immediately. “Mother, save me. I…”
“Steward, make this young brat put out his hand.”
Old Master Mo ignored everyone and walked to the sofa on the other side of the living room where he waited for the steward to come over.
Without delay, the steward came forward and pulled Mo Yunhao to Old Master Mo, who saw Mo Yunhao’s weak and pitiful look. Wasn’t it just a beating?
It was not like he was taking his life. Must he look like he is dying?
Old Master Mo kicked Mo Yunhao’s calf in anger. “Kneel down!”
Mo Yunhao’s legs gave way, and he fell on his knees before Old Master Mo.
Jiang Hongying was shocked and she shrieked. “Yunhao! Father, you cannot do this! Yunhao did not do anything wrong. He…”
“Steward, watch her. I will let her see for herself what the outcome of an undisciplined child of the Mo family is.”
“Yes!”
Aunt Zhang was cleaning up the spilled chicken soup, thus Steward Zhong found two other helpers to hold Jiang Hongying down so that she had to watch the punishment.
Old Master Mo picked up the feather duster and struck it at Mo Yunhao.
“Ah… Save me…”
Mo Yunhao let out a piercing scream immediately, like that of a pig being slaughtered.
Old Master Mo’s expression darkened further. He did not even use much strength in the first stroke, but this big man screamed like this at only such slight pain. What a good-for-nothing.
“Keep your mouth shut. Don’t scream. You can’t even take such pain. Do you still think you are a child? Shut up. If you dare to make any more noise, I will hit you until you shut up.”
Old Master Mo swung the feather duster stroke after stroke. He really did not use much force in the beginning. While it would definitely be painful, it was absolutely not to the extent of screaming for a grown man.
But who was Mo Yunhao?
He was raised by his mother to be even more delicate than a girl. It’s not that Old Master Mo had not interfered, but there was nothing he could do as the child was still closer to his mother!
Jiang Hongying spoiled him too much, and Old Master Mo was busy, thus he simply did not have a lot of time to discipline him.
As a result, Mo Yunhao’s screams became louder, which infuriated Old Master even more, and his force became stronger.
“AHHHH… save me… Mother… Mother, save me… Pain… Grandfather, spare me. I… I dare not do it again… Ahh…”
Jiang Hongying’s heart wrenched. The two maids could not pin her down, so Steward Zhong had to personally hold her back.
