Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Bullying People Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Bullying People “We’ll go to the Village Chief’s House to file a complaint.” Mo Xiaoqiang was also very annoyed—they even took apart their family’s front door. It was too much of a bullying, as if they thought the Mo family was easy to bully.
There were several men in the Mo family, after all. It was utterly intolerable.
“Exactly, Qiangqiang, go and hurry to call the village head over and have him take a look at those evildoers—see if they aren’t too arrogant. I can’t believe there’s no law in this world,” Old Master Mo greatly approved of Mo Xiaoqiang’s suggestion.
“Alright!” Mo Xiaoqiang agreed, turning around and striding towards the doorway.
Old Lady Mo, who had been sitting on the ground making a scene, immediately stood up and grabbed Mo Xiaoqiang’s arm, urgently shouting, “Qiangqiang, don’t go, don’t go.”
“Mom, what’s wrong? People are bullying us now, calling over the village head to uphold justice for us—what’s wrong with that? Could it be you want them to defecate and urinate over our heads?” Mo Xiaoqiang was unhappy as Old Lady Mo grabbed his arm.
Ever since he learned about Auntie Sun’s affair, he had been feeling very oppressed these past few days, almost to the point of breaking down.
“This… this…” Old Lady Mo hesitated, struggling to speak.
Seeing her expression, Old Master Mo knew something was being hidden from them and said, “Old woman, we’re all family here. Speak your mind. Are you afraid of me and your son finding out?”
With no other choice, Old Lady Mo revealed how she had secretly taken Xuexue’s garlic sprouts, and at the end, she added bitterly, “Who knew, that damned girl would become increasingly formidable, even bringing that fool over to smash our door to pieces and shatter the wooden stools, nearly scaring me, an old lady, to death.” As she spoke, she pointed to the pile of wooden debris on the ground.
The father and sons looked down and immediately drew a sharp breath: “Hiss!”
“This fool is so formidable—we better not provoke him in the future,” Mo Xiaoqiang said, still frightened. If that hit had landed on them, would they still have their lives?
“Big brother, really, you’re so useless. He’s your son-in-law, why are you afraid?” Although Mo Daoyan was scared, thinking about big brother’s relationship with that fool, he felt emboldened.
“What son-in-law? Xuexue doesn’t even acknowledge me as her real father, would he acknowledge me?” Mo Xiaoqiang lacked the confidence. Previously, he collaborated with Auntie Sun and nearly caused harm to Xuexue.
He couldn’t help but hate Auntie Sun even more, blaming this detestable woman for letting her paramour come and harm his daughter. Now, even his daughter didn’t recognize him as her real father, leaving him deserted by everyone.
“How do you know if you don’t try?”
“I don’t dare, I’m afraid he’ll throw me into the fish pond.”
The next day
Early morning! Bright and early, Xuexue and Big Bull were ready to set off for the town. Today was the day to deliver goods to Shopkeeper Fan.
Xuexue packed a big pile of garlic sprouts into a basket and carried it in her hand, while Big Bull shouldered two baskets of loaches. They couldn’t show up empty-handed in front of Madam Xie—that would arouse suspicion. After all, Madam Xie was just a village woman; such an extraordinary event might frighten her, so the matter of the space must be kept from her.
Madam Xie saw the basket full of garlic sprouts in Xuexue’s hands and asked curiously, “Xuexue, where are you taking those garlic sprouts?”
“I’m taking them to the town to show them to Shopkeeper Fan, to see if his restaurant wants them. We can’t let them go to waste, they’re the fruits of our labor.” Xuexue spoke, continuing to walk out with Big Bull.
“Then you must come back early,” Madam Xie instructed from behind.
“Eh! We know.”
