Mo Yi is the fifth daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. Her lifelong wishes:
To marry a blue-robed scholar;
To live in a sunny little courtyard;
If she could also open a...
Chapter 125: That’s It
After finishing the discussion, Mo Yuan went back to the house.
Mo Yi was a little dazed: This time, she and her father had really offended her mother.
However, there is nothing to regret. Although this idea may not be tolerated by the world...
If there is a stone on the road, you can either move it away or go around it. You can't know it is there and then keep bumping into it.
There are so many beautiful things in the world that I can’t take care of them all.
But if I tell my father about what my mother did, he’ll probably be angry again.
But I have to tell her, because if I promise her benefits in the letter, my aunt might do it without hesitation!
By then, success or failure will be another big fight.
Without wasting any time, she went straight out to the front living room to find her father.
I saw Uncle San fiddling with a bunch of things outside the front hall. "Uncle San, what are you busy with?"
Mo Rushong smiled at her, "Your father is still angry. He will stay in the front for a few days. Third uncle will help clean up."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle San."
When she entered the study, she saw her father sitting with his legs crossed, reading a book. He looked quite relaxed.
"father."
As soon as he saw his daughter coming, he said, "Yi Yi, do you have something to ask Daddy?!"
"There is something..." She was about to go over and say it, when she saw Mo Fan coming out from the inner room with a dirty face.
"Uncle, take a look, is there an ok place to put the bed?"
"Yiyi, come and see Daddy's hut."
The small storage room in the living room is used to store some unused things on weekdays.
When I went in, I saw that the clutter had been cleared out, and a pier was built with bricks, and half of the door panel was laid on top to serve as a bed. There was also a cabinet in the room, so there was no room for a real bed...
Song Jiaxing was wiping everything with a rag.
"Dad..." Mo Yi looked sad, "Isn't it too simple? Isn't the bed too small?"
Although her own room wasn't very good, she couldn't bear to see her father suffer...
Mo Ruhai was very happy. "Isn't this good? The door is a little narrow, so putting a wooden board inside is enough. Once we spread the bedding and hang the tent, it will look good.
Besides, Daddy only comes back to sleep at night. During the day, he can read and write in the big house without being disturbed. How nice! Okay, girl, tell Daddy if you have anything to say."
Mo Yi leaned over and told him what happened.
"What... How dare she?" Mo Ruhai's face changed immediately, "Oh my god..."
"Dad!" Mo Yi held him back, "Arguing with each other is just making you angry, but it won't solve the problem."
"So what do you say we should do?"
"I don't know if the letter has been sent yet. Please write another letter to your aunt to reject the matter."
Mo Ruhai pondered for a long time and nodded reluctantly: "That's fine. Yi Yi, tell me, is your mother the crazy one? And... Wenwen she..." He couldn't believe that his bright and generous eldest daughter would behave like this!
"Dad, don't talk about this. You see, the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has not yet come to a conclusion. We still have to rent a shop and a yard quickly, open a new shop, and keep up with the goods. There are so many things to do that we can't handle it. Please write a letter now and let Song Jiaxing deliver it."
Mo Ruhai was angry for a while, then picked up the pen, wrote quickly with resentment, and sent Song Jiaxing directly to deliver it.
I became more determined not to move back to my room.
Wang had finished writing the letter, but had not yet sent anyone to deliver it. She wanted to think it over for a while when she saw her husband come in.
Thinking that he was here to surrender, Wang took the bridge but did not get up to greet him or say a word.
Unexpectedly, the man went straight into the inner room and was rustling around inside.
After a long time, Wang finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked to the door to take a look...
What? He came back to get something?
Mo Ruhai packed up his most cherished books, which he would read every night before going to bed, and took his clothes, socks, and finally a pair of shoes.
It's a big burden.
What, he plans to live in the front for a long time?
"Mo Ruhai, what do you mean?" Wang rushed in to grab things.
Mo Wen heard that his father had gone back to the house, and fearing that there would be another quarrel, he ran over and saw that his parents were fighting over the bag.
"Dad, Mom! Let's talk it over nicely! Don't be like this..." She rushed over and stood between the two of them.
"If you're not afraid of hurting Mo Wen, just keep snatching." Mo Ruhai sneered.
"Mo Wen, get out of the way! I want to take a look..." Wang shouted again.
Mo Wen begged Mo Ruhai, "Dad, you can't just walk away! If you keep making trouble like this, what if big brother gets involved and his studies are affected? That's big brother's future, and it's a big deal for the Mo family!"
After hearing this, Mo Ruhai loosened his grip, walked out of the bedroom and sat in the outer room.
Wang followed out in a daze, holding the bag.
Mo Ruhai looked at Wang, and suddenly he found that he had calmed down.
"Over the years, you have told me countless times about your dissatisfaction with me. When I think about it carefully, you are right. It is indeed me who has no future. The fact that our family has such a life, Mo Da has a wife and children, and Mo Wen's marriage is all due to you! I acknowledge all of this!"
Wang felt a little nervous when she saw her husband talking like that.
"…I am already forty years old. This is all I have for my life! I cannot change your contempt and blame! Even if I sacrifice my life, I cannot earn a title for you."
The more he said this, the more scared Wang became...
"The funny thing is, I have dissatisfaction with you too. I just don't deserve to say it out loud. As a husband and a father... I am dispensable!"
After hearing this, Mo Wen was also scared: "Dad, don't say that. Which couple doesn't quarrel? But after the quarrel, they are still a family. Your daughter has never blamed you. You taught us to read and understand, and you are a good father. You can't say that..." She also started crying.
Wang usually spoke harshly and quickly, but at this moment, she didn't know what to say.
Mo Ruhai shook his head: "In that case, I will give this yard to you. You have the final say in everything. But Mo Yi... she has been close to me since she was a child. You..."
His eyes were red. "That day, you said in front of so many people that you would not give her a dowry and would not care about her. So, I hope you remember your words! Don't worry about her marriage! Don't worry about her dowry. After saying this, if you still don't agree... then let's make a real scene."
Wang was stunned.
After Mo Ruhai finished speaking, he turned to look at Mo Wen and said, "Mo Wen, you are a smart girl with a bright future. But you must remember that everything should be done in moderation. Don't lose your temper! And don't do unnecessary things to hurt others... At home, even if you make mistakes, your parents will tolerate it. When you come to the Xu family, you must restrain your temper, be strict with yourself and lenient with others. Don't ever..."
Mo Wen's face flushed and his heart started beating wildly. Could it be that his father knew that he had instigated his mother?
Mo Ruhai also stopped there, "Wang Xiu'e, if we can't agree, just say less. Let's each take a step back!"
"No...what are you going to do?" Wang's head was buzzing and she was at a loss.
I have been treating him like this since I entered the door, and it has become a habit.
Why did he suddenly quit?
Mo Ruhai stood up, picked up his things and prepared to leave, "Mo Wen, persuade your mother! If your parents really break up, it will not be a good thing for you!"
Wang wanted to stop her, but Mo Wen persuaded her.
"Is he really crazy?" Wang murmured.
"We are all very angry. Now is not the time to argue. Please let Dad calm down for a while."
"Mo Wen... call your elder brother over quickly! Wuuuu..." Wang couldn't help but started crying again.
"Mom. In half a year, my eldest brother will pass away. What is the most important thing now? Can't you tell it clearly?" Mo Wen said coldly.
"Oh! Right, right, right...it's Mom who's dizzy. We can't let him down!"
"Yes! We have a lifetime to live, why are you in such a hurry? If my elder brother passes the imperial examination, the weight of his words will be completely different..."
Mo Ruhai walked to the front with things in his arms. On the way, he dropped a book. He bent down for a long time to pick up the big bag of things with a smile on his face.
The cottage is clean and tidy.
The key is... silence.
I looked east and west, feeling very relaxed and happy.
Finally, I won’t have to sleep on the same kang even though I’m angry…
Wang, have someone send the letter out...
