Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 137: Heart Turns Cold

Thinking of the Gu Family’s kindness, Liang Zhuzi and the others immediately picked up their carrying poles, and seven of them stood side by side, blocking Elder Mo and pointing the poles at him, saying, "Scram quickly, dare to cause trouble at Gu Family’s place, we won’t be polite to you."

Elder Mo was so angry he almost passed out, pointing at Liang Zhuzi and his group, he said, "You, you are from Lianghe Village?"

"Yes," replied Liang Zhuzi and the others, their voices loud and imposing, giving Elder Mo a start.

Elder Mo, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, saw the fierce looks on these people from Lianghe Village and didn’t dare to scold them, only turning to Third Grandpa to ask, "Brother Gu, are you selling this tofu or not?"

Also fearing the dagger in Gu Jinli’s hand, his voice softened a bit, "Brother Gu, we are all famine refugees here, you have a profitable business, you should think of our Mo Family first. Only if our days as refugees become better can we gain a firm footing in this village."

Gu Jinli laughed angrily, "Why should I think of your Mo Family first? Do I owe you anything? What are you, the Mo Family, but a scallion?" Even if the Mo Family were a scallion, she would pluck it and use it to fry eggs!

Third Grandpa, hearing Elder Mo’s words, was also angered and simply said, "We don’t have much tofu at home now and it’s not enough to sell, we won’t sell it to the Mo Family, Brother Mo, you all should head back."

Seeing that Third Grandpa was still unwilling to sell tofu to them, and still calling him Brother Mo, Elder Mo gasped heavily in anger, feeling that the Gu Family was utterly disrespectful towards him; they better not regret this!

Did they really think the Mo Family had no one to rely on?

Mo Kui felt extremely embarrassed and hurriedly signaled to Mo Dali and the others, "Quick, help the uncle back home."

Weren’t they embarrassed enough? Standing here throwing a tantrum, but still unable to overpower the others, Mo Kui really didn’t understand what Elder Mo was thinking coming to the Gu Family today. Was it specifically to lose face?

This time Elder Mo did not shake off Mo Kui’s hand, but gracefully accepted this way out, allowing Mo Kui and the others to help him leave.

However, Village Chief He stopped them, calling out, "Wait a moment."

Mo Kui was startled and thought this was bad but couldn’t help stopping.

Village Chief He, leaning on a cane, walked up to Elder Mo, his sagging old eyes staring at Elder Mo as he coldly said, "This village cannot accommodate evil men. Let it go this time, but if there’s a next time, you all will have to roll out of Da Feng Village!"

The He family had just made some money relying on the Gu Family’s tofu, but Elder Mo had come to the Gu Family right in front of him to throw a tantrum. Did he really think he was dead?

After hearing this, Elder Mo was scared.

Though Village Chief He was weak, he was still the chief of the village, and if they really went too far, Village Chief He did have the authority to drive them out.

Even if he couldn’t drive them out, the days of the Mo Family in the village would not be easy.

Elder Mo was both angry and stifled, unable to utter a single word. Mo Dali and his brothers also didn’t dare to speak, but it was Mo Kui who said, "Village chief, rest assured, our Mo Family are people who abide by rules, we won’t commit deeds that bully our neighbors."

Mo Kui then bowed and apologized to Third Grandpa, "Third Uncle Gu, my uncle just wanted to find a livelihood for the Mo Family, today’s matter wasn’t intentional, I hope you can forgive us."

After finishing, he helped Elder Mo leave the Gu Family’s place.

Before they reached the Mo’s house, Elder Mo pushed them away and quickly walked towards his home.

As soon as he entered the main house, he said to Old Mrs. Mo, "Go, let the second son’s wife find Shuan Da’s wife, ask her how that matter is going? It’s been talked about since the Lantern Festival, how come there’s no news at all?"

Old Mrs. Mo was preparing breakfast for her daughter-in-law, and upon hearing this, she asked, "Old man, do you really want to do this?"

After all, she was his own granddaughter, and Old Mrs. Mo was somewhat reluctant to let her go.

"But Shuan Da’s wife said that the Lu Family didn’t want just any maid," Old Mrs. Mo whispered, "They want a concubine maid, who will share the bed with the men of the Lu Family."

"What’s the big deal?" said Elder Mo. "Which girl doesn’t end up in bed with a man when she grows up?"

"You should stop feeling sorry for Daya, after the fuss He Dacai caused, Daya’s reputation has already been ruined, she can’t marry into a good family. Rather than marrying a peasant and digging for food in the fields, it’s better to send her to the Lu Family as a maid. Not only will she earn some indenture silver, but if she gives birth to a son, she can even become a concubine. Then our Mo Family will be able to establish a firm footing in Da Feng Village."

Elder Mo snorted coldly: "Let’s see who dares to drive our Mo Family out then."

Elder Mo wanted the Mo Family to prosper quickly, and without waiting for Old Mrs. Mo to call someone, he himself shouted loudly: "Second daughter-in-law, come in, your mother has something to say to you!"

After speaking, Elder Mo entered the inner room, closed the door, and left Old Mrs. Mo to talk to the second daughter-in-law about Daya’s issue.

Mo Dakui’s family lived in the east wing, and when he heard Elder Mo calling Mo Dakui’s wife, he couldn’t help but hang his head and sigh heavily.

Seeing him like this, his wife Ms. Zhang comforted him, "Don’t feel too bad, it’s the old uncle’s family matter, there’s nothing we can do."

Mo Chunyue’s reputation was damaged and Elder Mo wanted to sell her, they knew about this since the Lantern Festival, but what could they do?

It was already hard enough to provide for their own two children, how could they manage the affairs of the old uncle’s family?

Although that’s what she said, when Ms. Zhang recalled the utterly defeated look on Mo Chunyue’s face, she couldn’t help but wipe her tears: "Chunyue’s life is too harsh." free𝑤ebnovel.com

They had just managed to survive fleeing famine, and thought better days had arrived, but then that detestable He Dacai barged into their home, lifted and groped Chunyue, and spoke many lewd words. After the incident became known, their Mo Family gained some benefits, but Chunyue’s reputation was completely ruined.

That He Dacai was a tough one; even after being penalized, he kept coming to their home looking for Chunyue, and as a result, Chunyue sought death twice.

After half a month of turmoil, God finally opened his eyes, and He Dacai was arrested and sentenced to jail, never to return.

They thought Chunyue’s tribulations had come to an end, but who would have expected.

"Old uncle is blinded by greed, his own granddaughter, and he wants to sell her to be a concubine maid, which is even lower than a concubine," Ms. Zhang sobbed, "You don’t know, because of this, Chunyue has stopped eating and drinking, but the old aunt is too cruel, she even had Mo Dakui’s wife force-feed Chunyue, determined not to let her die, resolute in selling her."

Thinking of these things made Ms. Zhang’s heart turn bitterly cold.

Could the old uncle and old aunt really care genuinely for them as a couple if they could treat their own granddaughter like this?

Ms. Zhang couldn’t help saying, "My dear, let’s keep our distance from the old uncle’s family in the future, they have changed."

The old uncle is demon-possessed, now in pursuit of wealth, and is capable of anything; staying too close to their family, who knows when they might sell us too.

After today’s events, Mo Kui was also very disheartened, and after a moment of silence, he said, "After the spring plowing is over, I will look for a house, and we’ll move out."

"Really, my dear?" Ms. Zhang was overjoyed, she had long wanted to move out and not live with the old uncle’s family anymore.

The two daughters-in-law in the old uncle’s family were both lazy; all the chores in the courtyard had to be done by her, and the two families didn’t differentiate their meals but ate together. Every mealtime, their family of four got very little to eat, as it was all taken by the old uncle’s family.
