Before Su Nanxi could even speak, the other members of the Mo family who had rushed over were already furious and immediately started arguing with the old woman!

Although the old woman is old, she can argue without even breaking a sweat. She must have been a local tyrant when she was young!

That kind of drive is something not everyone possesses!

From the content of the argument, Su Nanxi roughly knew whose old woman it was, but she didn't seem to have any impression of that family!

She had been worried that the Mo family was too powerful and that the old woman would be so angry that she would jump up and down or even faint. But now it seems that she had worried too much and underestimated them. They could take on ten people at once!

That's amazing!

If this happened when arguing with people from other villages, it might have earned some goodwill, at least it would have helped protect the village. But arguing like this with villagers is inappropriate!

Su Nanxi was fed up with the constant arguments and quarrels; they made her ears and head ache!

"Whose old lady is this? Please take her home immediately! We Mo family members are just doing our own work, and this person deliberately comes here to point fingers, speak rudely, and act arrogantly because of her age! If anything happens, our Mo family will not be responsible! Why come here and cause trouble!"

Su Nanxi shouted rudely into the loudspeaker, "Take this annoying person away!"

A man rushed over from a short distance away. Before he could catch his breath, he kept apologizing to the Mo family and then pulled the old woman away.

"Mom! Aren't you ashamed enough? I asked you to help watch the child, and you tell me where the child is! If you don't want to help, just say so, and I won't force you! Look how capable you are, you might as well live alone!"

When people get old, they naturally want to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren. Who wants to live alone all by themselves?

The old woman instantly shut her mouth as if she had been choked; she didn't want to live alone!

She originally lived with her eldest son's family, but she was too much of a troublemaker, turning their house upside down. Her eldest son's wife ran away, and her eldest son didn't want her to stay at home anymore, so she had no choice but to go to her younger son's house.

The youngest son had no choice but to let her stay. His older brother was despondent because of his sister-in-law's departure, and he couldn't say anything about it. But his younger daughter-in-law was not someone who was easy to talk to!

The younger daughter-in-law is a formidable person. The old woman was kept in check and dared not cause any more trouble. She became much more restrained!

Every day, I assign things to the old woman to do so she's not idle. Of course, these are all things she can manage, so she won't be too idle and go out and cause trouble!

This was actually a good thing; the old woman was indeed much more well-behaved, only going out to chat under the big tree at most, and spending the rest of her time busy.

But as her great-grandchildren grew up, she felt she could finally let go and truly retire, so she slowly started to get out and about!

And here they are, coming to the Mo family's place to hang out!

If her youngest son doesn't keep her here, she really will have to live alone!

She was filled with fear, having witnessed elderly people in the village whose children refused to take them in, and who were eventually discovered long after they died!

She doesn't want that!

Besides, living alone is nowhere near as comfortable as living at my youngest son's house!

Although the younger daughter-in-law is fierce, as long as she doesn't cause trouble, no one will deliberately target her. She will have plenty of food and will be able to eat her fill!

If she lives alone, you can easily imagine what her life is like—not having enough to eat or wear is a common occurrence!

So, I wisely shut up!

It doesn't matter if you can't win an argument, eating and drinking are the most important!

Essential for daily life!

The old woman didn't care what the villagers said about her; it went in one ear and out the other, since it wouldn't harm her anyway!

The key is that she can't pay attention to it. If she acts tough, she might win the argument, but her younger son will feel embarrassed and might make her live alone!

It's not like there haven't been precedents for this in the village!

Under pressure, the sons might bring food, but it certainly won't be very good, and they might forget it's their turn to bring it!

She'll starve to death!

The old lady hasn't completely lost her dementia yet; she still knows how to analyze the pros and cons and is pragmatic!

The Mo family naturally wouldn't let them leave so easily. If someone came and made a scene again next time, would they still be able to live their lives peacefully?

The cost of committing crimes is too low, so everyone wants to test the waters!

"Then, how can you let us go? My mother must have done something wrong. I'll talk to her properly when I get back and won't let her cause any more trouble! We don't have anything valuable in our house, and even if you want to compensate us, we can't afford it!"

The man thought the Mo family wanted compensation, since it had delayed their ability to make money, and they were angry and wanted compensation, which seemed reasonable!

Grandma Mo snorted, "We didn't ask you to compensate us for anything! The fact that we're not letting you leave means this isn't over yet!"

The person was bewildered. How was the calculation completed?

Su Nanxi said coldly, "If anyone is unhappy about this, they can come and cause trouble for the Mo family. What will become of the Mo family? Will they still be able to work and make a living? Since so many people are here, let's make this clear today! We, the Mo family, do not steal or rob. We earn our money through our own abilities. If you are envious, you can earn it yourselves! But don't cause us any trouble! We won't ask how much you earn, and we won't interfere with any good deeds you do!"

"If you make a little money, we start bossing you around, trying to control you, saying you're wrong if you don't do good deeds, and it's your fault if you don't spend money on others! Does that make you feel good? If it does, we'll find you something to do every day!"

Su Nanxi was holding a small megaphone, so her voice was loud enough. She also lowered her voice, which created a certain intimidating effect. People felt as if every word was hitting their hearts, which made them a little scared!

Everyone fell silent for a moment, not daring to utter a sound.

If they earned their money through their own hard work, they certainly wouldn't want others to talk nonsense and act self-righteously!

What you do with the money you earn is your own business, isn't it? Why should others have the right to interfere with how you manage your finances?

Bah! Is he their ancestor? They're giving him too much face! His face isn't even as big as a washbasin!

Hmph! If they had money, confidence, and a straight back, their voices would naturally be louder. Would they dare to come up and show off?

Believe it or not, two slaps across the face will make his whole world spin and fly!

However, while these people might think about it, not many took it to heart. After all, they hadn't done anything like that, so it wasn't their business. They would just listen to what the Mo family said.

Su Nanxi naturally knew that not many people would stand on the side of justice unless their personal interests were involved, but if their interests were touched even slightly, it would be a big deal!

"Our Mo family doesn't have time to deal with these trivial matters every day. From now on, if anyone deliberately causes trouble, I'm sorry! If I have a way to make money in the future, I will resolutely not involve these people! If any family has even one person like this, they will all be excluded. Our Mo family does not welcome such people! I have a very good memory, so you'd better keep your family members in check!"

ah? ! !

They want to make money!
