Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Taking Advantage Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Taking Advantage “Mind your own business, really nosy like a dog after rats.” Having been carried back by several women, Old Lady Mo was furious and responded to their well-meaning advice with harsh words.
Originally giving advice out of kindness, the women were met with Old Lady Mo’s curses and became angry themselves, “How ungrateful can you be! I’m just trying to help you, why are you cursing me as well?”
“Why shouldn’t I curse you? Who asked you to carry this old woman back?”
The Land Deed did not get into her hands, and she had even fought with Old Master Mo. Old Lady Mo felt angrier the more she thought about it and took it out on the women who had carried her back.
“Wasn’t it the village head who asked us to carry you?”
“If the village head asks you to carry, you carry, if the village head asks you to eat shit, why don’t you eat it?”
Hearing this, the women were so angry that smoke nearly came out of their heads.
“This damn old hag, her mouth is too foul. Come on, let’s go home. Let’s ignore her.” After speaking, the women left one after another.
Old Lady Mo sat at home alone, growing angrier as she thought about it. She wanted to go back to the Xie residence to make a scene, but she was wary of the village head. After all, Mo Hengjian would still need the village head’s certification to become a Child Student later, so for her grandson’s future, she dared not offend the village head.
“Madam Ruan, Madam Ruan, where on earth have you died? Come out quickly.” Old Lady Mo slapped the table loudly as she called out.
“Ay! I’m coming!” Madam Ruan, who had sneaked off to watch the excitement at the Xie residence, had just returned and had not even caught her breath when she heard Old Lady Mo calling her and hurried over.
“Hurry up and go to the Xie Residence, call your husband back here.”
“Huh?”
Madam Ruan was shocked, her husband had just been beaten bloody by her mother-in-law, she had seen it clearly. How could that be already forgotten, now Old Lady Mo wanted him back so soon!
“Are you deaf? Hurry up and go.”
“Oh!”
Madam Ruan agreed and headed out, wondering what her mother-in-law was up to. Could it be that she hadn’t hit enough earlier and wanted to call her husband back for another round?
Xie Residence
Old Master Mo was resting in the guest room, the bedside table piled with snacks.
These were all provided by Madam Xie, who, fearing he would be bored, brought out all the snacks usually reserved for Chuner, letting him choose what to eat.
That was the scene Madam Ruan walked into…
“Oh my goodness! Eunuch, what are you eating?” Madam Ruan approached Old Master Mo, surprised, and asked about the snack in his hand.
Old Master Mo looked at the snack in his hand and replied, “Walnut Crisp!”
“That’s a fancy item! I’ve seen it in town but haven’t had the chance to try it.” Saying this, Madam Ruan picked up a piece from the table and began eating, enviously saying, “This is delicious! Madam Xie lives so well, even the snacks are luxurious.”
Old Master Mo: “What are you doing here?”
“Mother-in-law asked me to call you to come home.” While she spoke, Madam Ruan stuffed her pockets full of sweets and candy.
“After being beaten to this state, she calls me to come home for what? I’m not coming back. It’s better living and eating here, much more comfortable than at home,” declared Old Master Mo, half grumbling, half earnestly.
After nearly filling her pockets with the snacks and candies, Madam Ruan stopped and thought, well, if her father-in-law didn’t return, it was fine with her as it gave her an excuse to come to the Xie Residence daily and take advantage.
“Eunuch, take a break, I’ll go back and tell mother-in-law.”
“Go, just go.”
