Chapter 647: Chapter 647 Auntie Sun Chapter 647: Chapter 647 Auntie Sun Hearing this, Mo Xiaoqiang felt guilty. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to look for Madam Xie; rather, he was afraid of offending General Situ and accidentally ending up like his mother, which would be terrible.
“I’ve been somewhat busy these days. Can’t you come to the Mo family to find me?”
Madam Xie lowered her head, “Mother-in-law doesn’t like me. Going there would only make her angry, so let’s forget it.”
“That’s in the past. Now she can’t wait for your whole family to move into the Mo family.” Madam Xie’s status wasn’t what it used to be. Old Lady Mo would be too busy ingratiating herself to be angry!
“Truly, I’m not deceiving you.”
Madam Xie smiled, “It doesn’t matter anymore! My daughter and I are leaving anyway.”
“Do you really not want to reconcile with me?” Mo Xiaoqiang asked, clinging to the last thread of hope.
Madam Xie shook her head, “I’m not sure. The things you did in the past hurt my daughter and me deeply.”
Xuexue, seeing the two of them talking non-stop at the side, approached them, “Mother, we should be setting off soon. Please hurry back to the carriage.”
“Ah!” Madam Xie responded and turned to leave.
Mo Xiaoqiang stood behind, watching her leave with a dazed expression.
“Dad, stop looking.” Xuexue stood still.
“Ah! You’re calling me?” Mo Xiaoqiang looked at Xuexue, his expression somewhat stunned.
Ever since Xuexue recognized General Situ, this was the first time they had met. Mo Xiaoqiang couldn’t believe that Xuexue, who now had General Situ as her biological father, would still call him father.
“Is there anyone else here? Besides, is ‘father’ a title that can be called so casually?” Xuexue replied irritably.
Mo Xiaoqiang was overwhelmed with emotions. In his life, he had missed too many things, such as his wife and his daughter.
“Xuexue, since you still acknowledge me as your father, can you also take me to the Capital?” Mo Xiaoqiang looked at Xuexue, holding onto that last sliver of hope.
Xuexue turned to glance in Madam Xie’s direction, “You’ll have to ask Mother. If she agrees, then I have no objections.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoqiang hurried towards Madam Xie.
After much pleading from Mo Xiaoqiang, and considering that he was Chuner’s biological father, Madam Xie reluctantly agreed.
Mo Xiaoqiang cheered and ran home to pack his belongings, ready to accompany Madam Xie to the Capital.
In a damp basement room, with a simple wooden bed, lay a woman with a weary face, her clothes in disarray as she lay on the bed.
The room was dilapidated, with hardly any furniture apart from a dining table and the wooden bed.
At the door stood a dozen strong men, who, judging by their attire, were common folk earning their keep through hard labor.
They lined up, one by one entering the room.
Every man that came out would tighten his belt with a look of contentment on his face.
It wasn’t until a dozen men had their turn that the woman wearily sat up on the bed.
She put on the clothes from the bedhead and started eating at the table.
This kind of life had been going on for days, and she had become numb.
Ever since Butcher Yu, that damned man, sold her to the Qinger Building a few days ago, her life had been worse than death.
The workload here was much heavier than at Butcher Yu’s, and the men seemed endless, coming in waves, tormenting her to a point worse than death.
Auntie Sun truly regretted getting to know Butcher Yu, the scoundrel. Now, thinking back, life in Mo Family Village felt like paradise. She blamed herself for being bewitched by Butcher Yu, which led to her being sold from one person to another.
As Auntie Sun ate, tears fell into her bowl with a splash.
