Chapter 392: Serving Tea and Sending Guests
Away No one present was stupid. After hearing what Madam Mo said, they looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.
Seeing that no one was willing to take the lead, Mo Xuelin cursed these people in his heart for being as cowardly as mice, as they dared not say a word after being criticized by the old lady.
But he hadn't expected them to stand up. They were just a bunch of rabble, barely gathering the numbers to create momentum.
Mo Xuelin smiled and continued the old lady's words, "What the old lady said is right. This Kuding tea is bitter in the throat and sweet and cool. It does not taste good, but it is also very useful. It can clear away heat, reduce fire, relieve wind and improve eyesight. It is especially suitable for people like me who suffer from the three highs, constipation and acne. The old lady will pack some more for me later, and I will take it back and drink it slowly."
Madam Mo glanced at him calmly and said, "Everyone wants good things, but if they don't belong to you, you'd better not stretch your hand too far, lest you not get the advantage but annoy others for nothing."
Mo Xuelin was not angry either, he smiled and said, "Old Madam, you are too kind. A little Kuding tea is nothing to you."
Madam Mo looked over. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed her old age, but her calm eyes contained a hint of sharpness.
"Tea is not expensive, so it's okay to give you more." Then he looked at the others, "Who else likes this? It's a rare trip, so take some back, so you don't return empty-handed."
Three or four people spoke up one after another, saying that they liked the tea.
After Wang Ma distributed the wrapped tea leaves to everyone, Madam Mo picked up the tea and said indifferently, "You have seen me and drank my tea. If you have nothing else to do, please go back. You are old and not in good spirits. I feel exhausted after talking for a while."
As the saying goes, serve tea before seeing off guests. The old lady’s intention to drive people away was obvious, but no one present moved. It was obvious that she had other purposes.
Madam Mo sneered in her heart, put down her tea and was about to get up and leave. Mo Xuelin suddenly said, "What are you talking about, Madam? You look ruddy and energetic. You are a person of longevity and happiness. Our whole family still depends on you to take charge of the overall situation."
Madam Mo sneered, "The Mo family has always been ruled by the head of the family. When will it be my turn as an old woman with half of her body buried in the ground to take charge? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Third brother, you are going to be a grandfather soon, why are you still so careless about what you say?"
In front of all the relatives, the old lady spoke harshly and did not give Mo Xuelin any face at all. No matter how thick-skinned or thoughtful he was, he could not keep his smile at this moment.
"I have kept the old lady's teachings in mind. However, what I said is not without purpose. Under the management of the patriarch, the Mo family has developed steadily and prospered in recent years. We are convinced by Shao Chen, the youngest patriarch in history.
However, it is a well-known fact that the master is in poor health. If the master gets married and has a son early, I don’t need to worry about the lack of successors. "
Mo Shaochen's illness has been the biggest concern of Old Madam Mo over the years, and it is also a taboo in the Mo family. However, Mo Xuelin said it out loud in public without any scruples at this moment. The old lady was so angry that she wanted to pour the tea at hand on Mo Xuelin's face to wake him up.
The old lady glared at Mo Xuelin with cold eyes, "The master's lifelong event is not something his parents and I are worried about, so why should you, an uncle, worry about it? If you have the time to meddle in other people's affairs, you might as well discipline your daughters. One has a chaotic private life and changes boyfriends every few days, and the other got pregnant before marriage without any matchmaker or engagement. You are really great. You can't manage your own people, but you dare to meddle with Shao Chen."
"Madam, you are worrying too much. It is different from the old times where parents' orders and matchmakers' words are important. Young people nowadays are very open-minded. In matters of love, it is up to both parties. If they are compatible, they can stay together. If they are not, they can break up. Besides, Zhiyan does not date anyone casually. She only chooses celebrities, talented men, and boys of matching status. As for Zhirou, I am planning to help her get engaged to the eldest son of the He family, and then they will hold a wedding after the baby is born."
Mo Xuelin said this with a nonchalant look on his face, and rather a bit complacent.
