Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Dividing the Family Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Dividing the Family Old Master Mo stepped forward, patted Old Lady Mo on the shoulder, and comforted her, “Wife, stop crying. A son will grow beyond his mother’s control. Since he wants to separate, let’s separate.”
“Separate, what’s this about separating? If we really do separate, what’s going to happen to our dear grandson! Old man, why has Qiangqiang changed so much, becoming less and less filial?” Old Lady Mo said through her sobs, her appearance poignant and desolate.
“We are old now; our children and grandchildren will have their own fortunes. Let us not worry about their affairs from now on.” The changes in Xuexue made Old Grand Master Mo reflect a lot in recent times, and he finally came to understand this point and said to Old Lady Mo.
While wiping her tears, Old Lady Mo said, “You make it sound so easy, dead old man. Saying we should not care, but how can we not? It is related to the prosperity of the Mo family in the future. Can we afford not to care? If because of us, Hengjian gives up his studies, even after we pass away, we would have no face to meet our ancestors.”
Madam Ruan also hastily said, “Yes, Eunuch, you must definitely take charge and prevent your elder brother from splitting the family. Otherwise, what will become of Hengjian’s studies?”
Old Master Mo glared at her with his eyes, “Are you scared now? Weren’t you enjoying your curses just now? This whole mess, it’s all because of you, the troublemaking old maid.”
Madam Ruan was also filled with regret. She used to scold Madam Xie all the time, and Mo Xiaoqiang never reacted, so she became reckless and unrestrained. Who knew that this time he would have such a strong reaction. If she had known, she would not dare to speak like that.
“Eunuch, your daughter-in-law realizes her mistake. Please help me persuade your elder brother, ask him not to split the family, please!” Madam Ruan begged Old Master Mo with a pleading face.
“Clear up the mess you made yourself,” Old Master Mo said impatiently and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaoqiang grabbed hold of him and said, “Father, you haven’t agreed to me yet, you can’t leave. You must give me a clear answer, your son is determined to separate from the family, otherwise, your son won’t want to live.”
Old Master Mo looked troubled, his son was threatening death to force a separation, and the wife flatly refused to agree, what was he to do?
Old Lady Mo glared fiercely at him with her stern eyes and said angrily, “Qiangqiang, don’t make things difficult for your dad. Without my approval, do you think he dares to agree to you?”
“According to mother’s words, you refuse to agree then? Is that it?” Xiaoqiang turned his head and stared intently at the expression on Old Lady Mo’s face.
“Right, I, the old wife, do not agree. If you want to separate, you can only do so over my dead body.” Old Lady Mo was resolute in her decision–she was determined to raise a Juren to bring glory to the Mo family lineage.
Mo Xiaoqiang said nothing and just stared at her quietly for a long time until Old Lady Mo grew impatient. Only then did he speak, “Fine, mother, remember what you said today. Just make sure you don’t regret it later.”
After that, he grabbed Auntie Sun by the arm, “Wife, let’s go.”
Shoulder to shoulder, the two of them quickly left the main hall.
Old Lady Mo remained stunned for a long time before she realized what had happened.
Mo Xiaoqiang and his wife had already disappeared from view.
She yelled furiously at the doorway, “I regret giving birth to you, this ungrateful little bastard, always making me angry. Do you want to anger me to death?” After shouting, she laid down on the table and began to sob uncontrollably, all the while mumbling, “What sins did I commit in my past life to deserve such unfilial descendants?”
Seeing this, Madam Ruan gave Hengjian a meaningful look and quietly slipped a little handkerchief into his hand.
