Chapter 15 I'm convinced by her
"Dad!" There was a loud shout outside, followed by the sound of footsteps. Mo Qing was coming.
She was the worst looking of the three sisters. She was only twelve years old and had not grown up yet, but she looked very old.
With thin eyebrows, small eyes and swollen eyelids, she looks exactly like her deceased grandmother.
But her personality is like her grandmother.
He likes to talk a lot but can't get to the point, his expression changes frequently, his eyes and mind are very lively, and he seems a little confused.
He slammed the door with a bang and cried out, "Ouch!"
When she saw her father, her eyes lit up: "Dad! Did you bring back what my daughter wanted?"
He was shouting and banging on the door before he even entered the room, and he demanded things without even saying hello. How unsettling is that?
But Wang didn't say anything about her.
The huge difference in attitude towards the two girls made Mo Ruhai even more unhappy!
But he didn't want to make trouble anymore after he entered the door. He smiled and nodded: "I brought it back!"
"Really? Is it the one my daughter described? Where is it?" Mo Qing jumped up high.
Wang also asked her husband, "What did you bring back?"
"They are unloading the truck in front and will bring it in soon." Mo Ruhai had just finished speaking when someone at the door said, "Second Master, Second Madam, the boxes are about to be brought in."
As soon as Wang raised her chin, Qiuxiang hurried to the door and opened the curtain.
Several boxes were carried in. "Master, the things for the eldest master have been delivered."
Wang frowned and asked her husband, "Send it directly?"
Mo Ruhai nodded: "Yes. This is what my elder brother asked me to bring."
Wang was unhappy, but she didn't even let me take a look? What, are you afraid that I will take it away?
"Please pay the bill." She would not care about anything when she was unhappy.
Mo Yi's heart sank. Sometimes, she really admired this old lady... She was very smart and worldly-wise. But she would do whatever her father hated!
It is said that when the marriage proposal was made, she was also attracted by her father's handsome and scholarly appearance and married him happily.
But after getting married, the two of them were not in harmony in every way.
My mother likes to be lively and dress up. She loves to gossip about right and wrong. My father likes to read books, likes quietness, and hates gossiping about others.
My mother likes fame and fortune, so she hopes my father can get promoted and make a fortune. But my father is a man of his duty, sensitive and naive, and likes romance;
My mother wants to get to the bottom of everything and talk things through, even if she gets red in the face and thick in the neck. But my father prefers to stop at the right point and show mercy;
These differences caused constant conflicts between the two. The mother was anxious and kept chasing and arguing with her father in an attempt to change him, but the result was that the two of them drifted further and further apart.
She didn't know how to adapt, and instead became even worse!
"Just because you've made it in life, you look down on me?!" This is what my mother often said.
In fact, if you think about it, the mother's frustration is not entirely unreasonable.
After so many years of marriage, all my father gave my mother was a yard to live in, a few properties, basic food and clothing, and an educational environment for several children.
However, boys need to go to good schools, make friends, and broaden their horizons.
Girls need to dress up and learn talents.
There are also dowries and betrothal gifts for sons and daughters when they get married.
Welcoming and seeing off, human relations...
A large part of these expenses depends on my mother’s dowry!
The most important thing is: my father had not been able to make a name for himself for many years, and when he finally got an opportunity, he missed it due to injury.
Therefore, the mother's respect and expectations for the father disappeared early on.
He is very strict on weekdays. My father’s clothes are clean, but his pockets are even cleaner!
Every time he went out with his superior, he was allowed to take some money with him, but he had to give an account when he came back. The things he bought had to be checked, and the remaining money had to be returned immediately.
Knowing that his father would be embarrassed, Mo Yi was too distressed to look at him.
Mo Ruhai didn't say anything, but took out his bag. He took out a few pieces of paper, which should be used to record the accounts. He put them all on the table, picked up the teacup, and his hands were shaking slightly...
It's normal to come back to give an account, but the person has just walked in and hasn't even sat down yet! Even if he is a servant sent out to buy things, this is the best he can do, right?
You don't respect your husband, and yet you complain that he's not close to you?
Sighing, Mo Yi walked to his father and took the teacup from him, "Dad, if you are hungry, don't drink too much tea!"
Mo Wen also felt that his mother had gone too far, "Mom, Dad just came in, don't be anxious!"
But Wang didn't care about that. She pulled the bundle and counted the remaining silver and banknotes one by one...
When Mo Ruhai went out with his superiors, he didn't have to spend any money. But sometimes, he would need to pay for some things. He also needed to buy some local specialties, so he needed to bring some money with him.
When you go out to do something, there will always be some filial piety from those below you.
Mo Ruhai is the one who does the actual work, so he definitely won't collect as much as his superiors, but he will get some.
Wang kept a close eye on this matter. The long-time attendant following Mo Ruhai was her dowry.
When he came back, he not only had to collect the debt, but also had to call the long-time attendant to ask questions.
Seeing how she was concentrating on counting the silver, Mo Ruhai's face turned dark.
Mo Yi felt the blood rushing to his head. Although the family could live on the current life, his mother did have to spend a lot of money.
But... this matter also depends on how to say it...
If your father had a good family background and a bright future, you wouldn't have been able to marry into the family!
Besides, we also have to look at the next generation!
Take my eldest brother for example, at this age he is already a scholar and is going to take the imperial examination, which is quite outstanding. Could this be separated from the enlightenment and teaching of my father?
No matter how great my aunt was, her son couldn't become a scholar!
You have been married for many years and have many children, so why make things so ugly?
If your father really has a bright future by chance...what will he do to you?
I was so angry that my chest hurt. It seemed that no one in this world had as much money as I did!
No need to be grateful all the time, look at other people's faces, and be tough!
I made up my mind: I must do my job well! I must earn money diligently! I must make my father stand tall and never suffer the humiliation of the Wang family again!
As she was thinking, the box was already opened and Mo Qing pounced on it to search.
Soon, she found what she wanted, cheered, and showed it to Wang excitedly: "Mom! Mom! Look! It's so beautiful! This one is better than Sister Shumin's! Oh my God, Dad, you have a good taste and you really know how to buy things!"
Mo Ruhai's expression calmed down a little after being praised.
Wang stood up and looked at the things her husband brought back.
"The things in that rattan box are for your mother's family."
Wang opened it and saw that most of what Mo Ruhai had purchased were paper, ink and tea sets, and it could be seen that the quality was quite good.
But she said calmly, "Hey, why do you bring these? The Wang family doesn't need them! There are some in the capital as well... The price may be cheaper than this..."
Mo Yi was helpless again: she might not be unhappy that her husband was thinking about her parents' home, but once she opened her mouth, she complained and was dissatisfied.
Mo Ruhai was completely annoyed and said in a very sarcastic tone: "Yeah! What else could the Wang family need?! Just this once, I won't bring it again. If you feel that these are not presentable, you don't have to send them!"
Wang didn't like what he said again, "What are you talking about? Isn't this just a token of my appreciation?"
"Madam said one moment she didn't need it, and the next moment she said it was a token of her love. I was really confused."
Mo Ruhai had a cold face and spoke coldly, he was completely exhausted.
The atmosphere became very tense...several girls didn't dare to speak.
Wang threw the things in her hand on the table, turned around and said to the girls, "You guys go back to your rooms first, I have something to say to your father!"
The three girls didn't dare to say anything more and walked out with their heads down...
