Chapter 137 That's My Daughter

The middle-aged man was not good-looking. In other words, he looked a bit like a small person. He wasn't exactly a monkey with a pointed face, but he was, and he even looked a bit greasy.

He looks like someone who secretly schemes against others; his rat-like eyes are always darting around.

The young man had a plump face and looked decent enough.

The middle-aged man said to Grandma Mo, "Yes, we all miss her very much. It's no big deal to let her go home a little earlier. Let's have a good get-together!"

Grandma Mo didn't believe it at all, and she really missed her? If she missed her so much, why hadn't she come to see her at all!

Grandma Mo said irritably, "Heh! You all get to decide everything! You can start whenever you want, and end whenever you want! But, Li Haisheng, let me tell you, you can decide when to start, but when to end is up to me!"

Li Haisheng was also unhappy. "That's my daughter. Can't I take her back? You won't be able to justify this even if you go to the county government!"

Old Mrs. Mo scoffed, "Go ahead, I won't stop you! It's not that I didn't warn you, it's all written down in black and white, you can't deny it now. Do you think the government office is your private property?"

Li Haisheng suddenly remembered that there really was such a thing. If it weren't mentioned, he would have forgotten that such a thing had actually happened back then, but he wasn't the one who orchestrated it.

Seeing Old Madam Mo looking at him coldly, he didn't know what to do. Old Madam Mo was so angry, she might actually do something, and it wouldn't look good if things got out of hand.

Li Haisheng immediately deflated and became less assertive, but he was thick-skinned enough to keep smiling.

His tone changed, and he said in a low, ingratiating voice, "Oh dear! We're all on the same side, how can we turn on each other like this! Let's talk this out, let's talk this out! The yamen is not a place for ordinary people like us!"

Old Mo kept a straight face and coldly watched Li Haisheng's change of expression without saying a word.

Old Mrs. Mo spat inwardly, full of disdain and disgust. More than ten years have passed, and it's still the same old story!

I knew this thing was never a good thing, and sure enough! Just looking at it ruins my mood, it makes me angry, and it inevitably brings bad luck.

She could guess with her toes why this thing had arrived ahead of schedule. It was always full of scheming and wicked thoughts, plotting a scheme to kill two birds with one stone!

She's been taken advantage of a lot in the past, but she's not stupid anymore. If you still want to bully her like before, ask her sons if they'll allow it!

Li Haisheng seemed to have noticed something too, and he secretly glanced outside the door. Good heavens! There were two big men waiting outside with sticks in their hands!

They were so focused on their own story that they didn't notice their surroundings!

What a blunder! Li Haisheng secretly regretted not considering that the other man's son had grown up and was no longer a child he could bully!

Knowing he couldn't take anyone with him today, Li Haisheng planned to come back another time, hoping to leave a good impression this time so they could meet again next time.

So he said with a smile, "Well, since it's not time yet, we were planning to come see A-mei today anyway. She's doing well here, so we won't take her back yet. We'll come again when the time comes. Thank you for your help!"

Li Haisheng's mind works quickly, and his words change just as fast.

But the young man next to him didn't understand and asked, "Dad, didn't we agree to pick up my sister today? Why is it next time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Haisheng almost flicked his forehead with a whip. Didn't he realize that they were lucky to even leave the house in this situation?

However, with others watching, he had to maintain a good image, at least for Mo Yunmei. So he suppressed his anger and explained in a gentle voice, "Brother Tian, ​​we mainly want to see Amei this time so that she can be mentally prepared. When we take her away next time, she will be happy to come with us. Anyway, it won't be much longer."

Li Yuntian thought it made sense and agreed, "Okay!"

Old Mo finally spoke, "Logically speaking, those are your people, and we have no reason to stop you from taking them away. However, this isn't just a matter of visiting relatives for a few days. We all signed and fingerprinted the agreement back then, and no one can go against it! Since you've endured more than ten years of longing, what's another ten or fifteen days? I suppose you can still endure it! Now that you've seen the person, let's go!"

Li Haisheng didn't expect Old Man Mo to be even more difficult to talk to, kicking him out as soon as he opened his mouth. He was momentarily embarrassed, but he was good at finding reasons to comfort himself, and he felt relieved in an instant.

When you're on someone else's turf, you have to bow your head to get around properly, so he said with a forced smile, "You're right! Uh, we'll be leaving soon, we'll be leaving soon! How about this, before we go, we'll take another look at A-mei, is that alright?"

Grandma Mo flatly refused, "No way! You've all seen it before, that's all! If you want to see it, you can see it later! Don't forget what we agreed on back then, if you repeatedly break the agreement, then you'll have to return all the money we've spent raising her over the years!"

Upon hearing that he had to repay the money, Li Haisheng lost all interest. "Are you kidding me? More than ten years! How much money is that?"

He only wanted to take his daughter back because he was broke, but now he's expected to pay back a huge sum of money. He must be crazy to agree to that!

Li Haisheng immediately pulled Li Yuntian up, "No, no! We'll leave right away, right now!"

After saying that, she grabbed her son and quickly left the Mo family's gate. They were so fast that anyone who didn't know better would think they were being chased by a dog!

Li Haisheng ran a long way before stopping to catch his breath and slowly walking back.

He was glad he ran fast. When he went outside, he saw clearly that the old man's two sons were each holding a stick with barbs!

Good heavens! If he had hesitated any longer and gotten hit with a stick, would he have been able to crawl back? That's terrifying!

When did the Mo family become so arrogant? It's giving him a bad feeling!

The Mo family doesn't care what Li Haisheng and his son think; it's better if they don't dare to come!

Seeing Li Haisheng and his son leave, Old Mrs. Mo spat and huffed, "They've really made themselves look good! What are they! What are they plotting now? They even dared to reach out their hands again. If they do, I'll chop them off! Do they think I'm still as naive and easy to bully as I was back then?"

Old Mo came over and helped her catch her breath. "Don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your life over someone like that! We should all be well; that's the right thing to do!"

The eldest and second eldest sons of the Mo family also came into the house and comforted Old Mrs. Mo. Seeing that her sons had come to comfort her, Old Mrs. Mo stopped letting her bad mood run wild. She knew when to stop and stopped being angry, realizing that it was indeed not worth it.

Su Nanxi sat under the tree, listening intently to the conversation taking place in the main room. She heard everything clearly and understood what was going on.

But Mo Yunmei didn't understand. She just felt that the two people were strange and made her feel uneasy when they stared at her.

"Mother, who are those two people?"
