Too High to Reach

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 7 Trouble is coming

Chapter 7 Trouble is coming

The next morning, Wang went out again in the family car.

Zhuang is a pretty easy person to talk to. When her family isn't using the item, she doesn't mind others using it more than once.

But as soon as she left, Liu knew about it.

"Going out by car again? What has Wang Xiu'e been doing these past two days?"

I haven’t found out the news from yesterday yet, and now there’s something going on today?

"It's the family car. Does she use it every day?"

Liu had few relatives or friends and had nothing to do all day.

She was good at sewing. Earlier, Zhuang had wanted her to lead everyone to do some work. She didn't rely on this to make money, but it would save money from working outside, right?

As a result, everything got messed up as soon as she got involved.

Let’s not talk about the many things that happened, in the end we can only give up!

But she has nothing to do, because there is nothing in this family that she doesn't want to know!

Although Mo Rushan's official position was low, he was well educated, so there would always be classmates visiting him, or people coming to ask for advice. No matter how much, it would be a benefit.

Liu has to keep an eye on...

Wang's family was in business and had many shops, so they always sent people to deliver things.

She also has to keep an eye on...

If I get any news, I have to go find them. No matter what, I have to get something back.

The three families agreed that the donkey cart would be used by both the public and the three families in turn.

But Liu seldom goes out, so she feels at a disadvantage if she uses less.

Keep a special eye on Wang. If you use it more than once, she will say something.

At this moment, she swung her handkerchief and went straight to Zhuang: "Sister-in-law, I want to use the car to go out."

Zhuang knew that she was here to cause trouble, so she patiently said, "My second brother's wife had something urgent to do today, so she went out by car. If you are not in a hurry, you can use her tomorrow. If you are in a hurry, you can hire a sedan chair from outside."

"Sister-in-law, that's not what you mean, right? No matter whether it's urgent or not, the rules are the rules! My business is not urgent, but the second sister-in-law's business is urgent? Even if she is urgent, she has to find a way herself, and she can't always squeeze out my business!"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to her later." Zhuang didn't want to argue.

But Liu refused to let it go and continued to talk about the past.

"Is the fifth sister in the room?!" Someone suddenly asked softly outside Mo Yi's door.

Mo Yi was buttoning her clothes with Xiangzhi in the room.

This button is very laborious and difficult to make. If it is not done well, it has to be disassembled and started over. It took two people a long time to make five buttons, but they are very beautiful.

Upon hearing Mo Yuan's voice, Mo Yi thought: Why is she here?

Oh no, could it be that what happened last night was discovered? No way...

"Fourth sister?" she asked hesitantly.

"Yes. It's me!" The voice was still soft and slow.

Mo Yi quickly signaled to the girl to open the door, and he also went to the door.

"Fourth sister, it's so cold, why are you here?"

Mo Yuan stood at the door in a coquettish manner. Seeing Mo Yi, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay. Come and see the fifth sister. Don't think too much!"

After saying that, he squeezed into the room. A not-so-elegant fragrance made Mo Yi almost sneeze.

Get out of the way quickly.

Mo Yuan walked in, glanced at them, and frowned in disdain: "Look at you, you can hardly put your feet down!"

Mo Yi followed her and said honestly, "Some flowers are afraid of freezing, so they have to be brought in."

"Oh. It smells so good! Is it the scent of daffodils?" Mo Yuan asked.

"Yes." Mo Yi responded, but he felt extremely depressed.

The one that had bloomed was brought to Mo Wen. How much fragrance was left in the room now?

Even if there was, it would be covered by the smell on your body.

It seems that the flower delivery yesterday was missed.

I didn't want to talk to her about this, so I could only play dumb: "Sister, do you want some almond soup?"

She doesn't like Mo Wen and Mo Yuan.

On weekdays, these two compete with each other in everything and argue with each other every day, but they usually don’t involve themselves.

Mo Wen is my biological sister. She has a strong personality and her mother is behind her, so she can't hide from her.

And Mo Yuan...cannot be underestimated either.

"Stop busying yourself! Sit down and have a chat! I was wondering why Xiangye was carrying something so fragrant yesterday. Did she go to give daffodils to Third Sister?"

If you don't respond, Mo Yuan will make it clear herself.

"..." Mo Yi was helpless.

Because although the three families are squeezed into one large compound, they are actually separated, like a triangle.

The second room is connected to the large room on the left and the third room on the right through a small alley.

The third bedroom and the big bedroom are connected at the other end.

From my room to Mo Wen's place, I couldn't even get out of the second room's yard.

If she wanted to know the news, she had to run through the Moon Gate to the second courtyard!

It's fine during the day, but at night, it's cold and dark...

No matter how puzzled I was, I couldn't avoid it, so I had to answer, "Yes."

She explained further: "My uncle bought these daffodils and asked me to help plant them. Before the New Year, he wanted to give them away as gifts. Two of them didn't grow well, so he gave them to my third sister."

Mo Yuan wiped her nose with a handkerchief, "Oh, is that so... Ouch! I haven't even had the nerve to open my mouth yet, but my sister has blocked my mouth!"

"Fourth sister, although I am the one who planted the daffodils, I don't really have the final say. The flowers are expensive this year, and uncle was reluctant to buy more, so these are all. Giving you one pot is not a big deal, but I'm afraid that uncle won't have enough when he needs them, and I won't be able to explain it to him."

Mo Yuan's lips curved, but the smile disappeared from her eyes. "Fifth sister, you don't have to be like this, right? Why is it that Third Sister has a not-so-good-looking one to give her, but when it comes to me, there is nothing?!"

"Fourth sister..." Mo Yi didn't want to offend her, "How about this: wait for uncle to come back in the evening, I'll ask and try to make a basin for you."

Mo Yuan's eyes immediately turned red.

"You don't have to be like this..." She sniffed in grievance, "It's just me. I usually feel that Second Aunt loves Mo Wen and Mo Qing, and is not good to you. In the Mo family, we have a lot in common, and I am willing to get close to you."

"..." Mo Yi was speechless again. When did you start to sympathize with me?

When did you become close to me?

"I never thought... I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position. It's my fault! It seems that a biological sister is different from a cousin. There is a real difference!"

She was in tears and was almost stamping her feet and beating her chest.

"...What are you talking about? Don't cry..." Mo Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Mo Yuan was also very clear-headed. Tears welled up in her eyes and she held a handkerchief to her cheek, waiting to wipe them.

"Fourth sister, fourth sister!" Mo Yi immediately accepted. "Well, I'll go ask my aunt right away. I'll take whatever my aunt says I want my fourth sister to take, okay?"

Mo Yuan was immersed in her own emotions: "I know... the third house has no money or power, no one looks up to it. Father... I can't even remember the last time I saw him. Mother and I are so pitiful... we are not popular everywhere. I know that others look down on us. But I thought... fifth sister is different! You really hurt my heart..."

Mo Yi is usually a man of few words.

Her mother always called her a taciturn person, and when she got angry, she called her a wimp.

Over time, everyone thought she was soft-hearted and honest.

Actually, it is not.

She just felt... unnecessary.

Looking at Mo Yuan's expression, it seemed as if I had done so many things to let her down!

Where did you start? She was also annoyed and stopped coaxing him. She lowered her head and said nothing.

"Okay! I'll leave!" After Mo Yuan made her accusation, she stood up and walked out.

When he reached the door, he paused.

It seems that he wants to give Mo Yi a chance to "reform."

But Mo Yi was really annoyed. Why was I wasting my time? So, I didn't use this "opportunity".

Mo Yuan saw that she didn't stop her! She didn't give in! She didn't give Narcissus!

Left disappointed and sad...
