Too High to Reach

To marry a blue-robed scholar;

To live in a sunny little courtyard;

If she could also open a...

Chapter 11: Finding a Place to Live

Wang Xiujuan is a strong person and likes to act like she is doing good to others.

But she does her job properly and never comes empty-handed.

After chatting for a while, he put down three boxes of snacks and stood up. "There's still a lot of things going on at home, so I won't go to your sister-in-law's place. Tell her I'll talk to her again during the New Year."

Mo Yi and her two sisters accompanied their mother to see her out.

"The old lady has been coughing these past two days, so I have to keep an eye on her. Remember to remind me, the sooner the better!" After saying that, Wang Xiujuan raised her chin, got into the car and left.

Mo Qing turned around and pestered Mo Yi, "Fifth sister, I want a purse like that, too. I want the same one!"

Mo Yi nodded: "I'll make one for my sister when I have time."

Wang took a box of snacks and asked Qiuhong to deliver it to the eldest son's house.

This time, she didn't plan to give it to the third room. Although she scolded Mo Yi for Narcissus, she hated Liu Shi more in her heart.

She opened another box and asked the three sisters to divide it. The rest belonged to her and Mo Bao.

Mo Yi and Mo Qing left, but Mo Wen stayed: "Mom, what is Auntie doing here?"

"The matter between Mo Yi and Liang You is almost settled!" Wang said mysteriously.

"Ah? It really worked?" Mo Wen was quite surprised.

This was an impulsive act of kindness as she was in a good mood after her relationship with the Xu family was settled.

Later, her mother said that it didn't work out, so she let it go. After a long time, she came to her senses. Liang You had always been the one she had been eyeing. If he really got together with Mo Yi, it would be so awkward.

"Your aunt said that Mrs. Liang didn't respond at first, thinking she was unhappy. She also knew that Mrs. Liang was a good person. She was embarrassed to refuse someone in front of her. She just planned to chat for a few minutes and then leave. In the end... guess what happened?"

Wang slapped her thigh and said, "What a coincidence! Liang You is back!"

Mo Wen's smiling eyes suddenly froze.

"Maybe he heard about it, so he asked Mrs. Liang to leave. Guess what happened?" Wang's eyebrows and eyes flew, "Mrs. Liang came back and told your aunt that Mo Yi was a good girl with good manners, and she liked her very much. But she still needs to discuss it with her husband and parents-in-law. Isn't this a promise?!"

"You mean... Liang You is willing to do this?" Mo Wen couldn't hold back his smile.

Wang didn't realize the change, and still looked excited. "That's probably it. Otherwise, why would Mrs. Liang change her mind after going out with Liang You?"

Mo Wen's smile completely disappeared. He lowered his eyelids, leaned back, and said in a light tone: "Oh! I didn't really pay attention to it before... It turns out that the two of them are in love with each other!"

That's not nice to hear! Wang scolded: "Wenwen...what are you talking about!"

Mo Wen snorted softly.

Wang saw that her daughter seemed unhappy. Thinking of what happened before, she quickly explained: "Don't you think about it, how many times have they met? I'm afraid they haven't even spoken to each other!"

Mo Wen thought about it carefully...and in his impression, it was indeed true.

Then why would Liang You be willing?

"Oh, your aunt was so happy just now! Now that you two are married, your mother is relieved! Don't worry, Wenwen, you are the eldest daughter, so your dowry will definitely be large. Hmm..."

Wang began to calculate the dowry: Mo Wen is marrying into the Xu family! The dowry will be much higher.

Mo Yi is going to marry into the Liang family, so she can't look ugly...

This is all unexpected, my God...where can I get the money?

Hateful husband...

"Humph, your father is useless. He can't even prepare his daughter's dowry. If it weren't for mother, your maternal grandfather and your aunt, how would you live? If a girl doesn't have a good dowry, how can she stand on her own in her husband's family!?"

Today, Mo Wen didn't have the patience to listen: "Mo Yi doesn't show it on weekdays, but she is really blessed! Mother, my daughter will go back first!"

I went back to the room and called Dujuan immediately.

"Let me ask you... Do you remember Liang You talking to Mo Yi?"

Seeing the girl's serious question, Du Juan calmed down and thought carefully for a long time. Finally, she shook her head and said, "No."

The ink patterns give the same impression.

"Miss, in my impression, among all the girls of my relatives and friends, you are the only one who talks more with Mr. Liang."

Mo Wen nodded again. What they said were just polite words and they didn’t say a word outside the frame!

Although most of the stories circulating in the world are like: "A beautiful lady is a gentleman's dream." "A girl from one family is sought after by hundreds of families!" and so on.

But in fact, outstanding men have more people staring at them earlier!

Girls have started this a long time ago. Isn't it the case with me and my mother?

If Liang You is happy about this, then there must be something strange that I don’t know about!

Humph! Fortunately, I didn't succeed with him, otherwise it would be so annoying!

Good! Mo Yi, you are great!

Mo Wen's chest heaved, he was very angry!

That night, Mo Rushan had dinner at home.

Dinner included fried fish, braised tofu, pork belly with sauerkraut, fried vegetarian meatballs, three-fresh soup, and scallion fried dough cakes.

The pancakes are baked by Zhong's wife, they are delicious when eaten hot...

This is also the favorite of Mo Fan and Mo Bao. As soon as Mo Rushan picked up his chopsticks, they started eating.

Mo Yi always felt that there were cold eyes shot towards him from near Mo Wen, but when he looked, there was nothing unusual... He thought it was Narcissus and he became suspicious afterwards.

Liu glared at Wang angrily and couldn't even enjoy her meal: she knew that Wang's eldest sister brought snacks and didn't give any to the third wife!

"Second sister-in-law, I heard your eldest sister is here!"

Wang was in a very good mood and didn't bother to argue with Narcissus. She smiled and said, "Yes! My elder sister is here, she is helping me with something, and there is some progress. Alas, it's not done yet, so it's not convenient to talk about it now!" She finally couldn't help but show off a little.

Mo Yi was eating a cake when he saw Mo Yuan touch his Third Aunt.

Liu was about to continue making a fuss, but when her daughter touched her, she also noticed Wang's pride.

This guy is the type who has to show off when good things happen to him. What good things has he encountered?

The two things that can make her proud are... money and... her daughter's marriage?!

Could it be that Mo Wen’s marriage has been settled?

"Could it be that what my second sister-in-law is talking about is Wenwen's marriage?" she asked immediately.

Mo Yi also looked at her mother...

"Third brother's sister-in-law, Wenwen is still sitting here. Can you say this now?" Zhuang hurriedly stopped her.

Liu didn't care: "If Sister Wen finds a place to stay, it will be a good thing for the Mo family. The girls in the family are all grown up, so what's the harm in listening to them?"

"That's the rule! You have a girl yourself!"

Liu was not willing to give in, so Mo Yuan quickly tried to stop her: "Mom!" She was thinking: I haven't found out anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?

"Hmph! I can't even say a word in this family!" Liu finally stopped making trouble.

Mo Rushan ate slowly, as if he wasn't listening.

Mo Fan and Mo Bao enjoyed their meal and didn't care what was said here.

After asking Mo Fan about his homework, Mo Rushan asked Zhuang: "Madam, will Mo Da be back soon?"

This is the way the world is. If an elder brother-in-law has something to say, he cannot ask his younger brother’s wife directly, he has to go around it.

Zhuang quickly replied: "In three days, we will send someone to pick you up!"

"Dad, let me go pick up my brother!" said Mo Fan.

"Okay! You go a day early, see more, and be influenced by him! Then you can improve yourself and pass the exam, and study with your elder brother!"

Mo Fan smiled bitterly and nodded.

Wang laughed again: Mo Da and Mo Wen are where she makes her living!
