Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Dead Old Man Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Dead Old Man Old Lady Mo entered the room, and indeed saw Old Master Mo lying in bed snoring away.
“You damn old man, still sleeping, don’t sleep, hurry up and get up.” Old Lady Mo walked to the bed, extended her wrinkled hand like an old tree root and began slapping Old Master Mo’s behind forcefully.
“Ouch! Old woman, what are you doing? You won’t even let me sleep, what in the world do you want?” Old Master Mo was woken by the noise, turned over and upon seeing it was Old Lady Mo, he spoke with visible impatience.
“You damn old fool, you still have the nerve to talk back! I’m asking you, why did you give the land deed to that stinking Madam Xie?” Old Lady Mo grew angrier as she spoke and forcefully pinched Old Master Mo at the root of his thigh.
“Ow! What are you doing?”
Old Master Mo felt the pain and sat up from the bed all at once.
“Now we can’t even take back our watermelon field; it’s all your fault.”
Upon hearing this sentence, Old Master Mo also became infuriated, “Don’t you even think about why we had to give the land deed to Madam Xie. In the end, it was all because of your own doing.”
“Your own misdeeds, and you dare to blame me.” Old Lady Mo’s triangular eyes were wide with anger.
“It is indeed your fault. If you hadn’t beaten Chuner so badly she almost died, and Xuexue had not threatened to report you to the County Yamen and have you locked up, would we have had to compensate with land and food? And now you have the cheek to shout and yell?” Old Master Mo rubbed his thigh where Old Lady Mo had left a red mark.
Only then did Old Lady Mo remember this incident and her momentum weakened. Her entire face drooped, she sat despondently by the bed, and began to weep softly with her head lowered, “Damn it all. Heaven really is blind, allowing those lowlifes to live in comfort while our entire family suffers here.”
Old Master Mo frowned and said with annoyance, “Why did you have to provoke them again?”
“You damn old man, we are being bullied , and you still side with them. You might as well go live with them.” Suddenly, Old Lady Mo erupted, screaming at Old Master Mo.
“This is simply unreasonable.”
Old Master Mo stood up from the bed, put on his slippers, picked up a piece of clothing to drape over himself, and left.
If he couldn’t reason with her, he might as well avoid her!
“If you leave, don’t come back.” In a fit of rage, Old Lady Mo grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it.
The pillow hit the door, and immediately fell apart.
In her fury, she forgot that their family’s summer pillows were all ceramic pillows, which were especially comfortable in the scorching heat, cool and refreshing.
Old Lady Mo came back to her senses, ran to the door, and picked up the pieces from the ground, her heart aching terribly.
Indeed, impulse is the devil.
At that moment, Mo Daoyan and Madam Ruan walked in.
Madam Ruan gently nudged Mo Daoyan with her arm, signaling him to speak first; Old Lady Mo was in a fury, and it was best not to provoke her further.
Mo Daoyan advanced cautiously a couple of steps, “Mother, don’t cry! It’s just a pillow, if it’s broken, it’s broken.”
“You really don’t understand the value of money since you don’t run the household, do you not know that everything in our house costs silver?” Old Lady Mo’s voice was tearful.
Madam Ruan curled her lips dismissively, thinking, it was you who broke it yourself, who else is to blame!
Mo Daoyan said, “Mother, don’t be sad, get up quickly. We’ve thought of a good idea to get the land back.”
Old Lady Mo listlessly replied, “Don’t cheer me up with lies! The village head has already said that the land has been registered at the Yamen in their name, how could it possibly be taken back.”
