Chapter 43 Her Temperament
Ignoring the strange looks from everyone present, Mo Yi said calmly:
"Mother, it's not that I don't want to hear your words. It's just that this is too difficult for me... The ten boxes are what my grandfather treasured most. He gave them to us before he passed away. They are not only heirlooms, but also represent the love of our grandparents for the descendants of the Mohist School. They are a family inheritance. Brothers and sisters, everyone has one, mother..."
When Mo Yi said the last sentence, his voice trembled and he started crying.
This time she was really sad.
Normally, my mother always has her own biases. Even though it’s unpleasant, I can understand it.
As long as one is a mortal, he or she will have his or her own preferences.
These two days, even she knew that her mother had been adding to the dowry.
My sister-in-law had a strong reaction in the early stages of her pregnancy and was in a very bad condition. She went home to recuperate for a few days, but not only did she not get better, she got even worse! I heard that she was unhappy because of this.
However, how the mother's dowry is used is none of other people's business.
But this box was given to me by my grandfather!
Why should I give in!
In fact, Wang also knew that her request was somewhat unreasonable.
But she, like Mo Wen, can only reflect on herself when she makes a mistake, but cannot be blamed by others.
He sneered and said, "Your grandparents gave you so many things! Not just this one. Why are you being so pretentious? I've just explained the truth to you, don't you understand?"
"Mother, Fifth Sister's marriage is not bad either. She also has to consider her own dowry!" Mo Wen said.
Wang was reminded by Mo Wen, so she continued, "Speaking of your marriage with the Liang family, it was because of your sister's reminder that I went to ask your aunt for help.
"At first, they were unwilling! But it was your aunt! She persuaded them to agree to it for my sake. Don't be an ungrateful person and burn your bridges!"
Mo Yi was angry and helpless: "My thoughts are always independent. I don't know what she was thinking, but she just said it like that."
"Mother, my daughter's marriage is decided by my parents. No matter who I choose, I won't complain. But I have no right to pass on the heirlooms given by my grandparents! All my brothers and sisters in the Mo family have it, but I don't... Could it be that I was picked up by mother from the temple gate?"
When Wang heard this, she was like, "Huh? It seems like my husband said this last time. Why did this little girl say this too?"
Did she instill this in her husband?
What did I do to her?!
"Mo Yi, what kind of bullshit are you talking about? Your food, clothing and shelter are all my dowry! How am I being unfair to you? Huh?"
"Besides... the box was originally passed down to your father by your grandfather. I..." Wang began to argue, "I thought the warehouse was not big, so I temporarily put it in your hands. Now, can't I take it back?"
Wang was very familiar with such emotions. The more she spoke, the more she felt she was right, and the angrier she became.
She was being unreasonable again... Mo Yi didn't want to anger her anymore, "Mother, I need to ask father about this matter first!"
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows, as if smiling.
"You're using your father to threaten me? What a joke! To tell you the truth, I'm the one who supports this family. No matter big or small, I have the final say! Your cowardly father, if you can't support the family, just shut up!"
Mo Yi was furious when he heard this. He opened his eyes with hatred and felt sad and unfair for his father.
She wanted to ask: Why don't you ask Daddy and me whether we would rather live a poor but comfortable life, or a life with silk clothes and meat to eat, but being suppressed by you all day long?
Aren't we a family?
Do you think you are glorious if you belittle your husband and say he is worthless?
For the first time in her life, Mo Yi said indifferently, "Grandfather gave the box to me, and I will treasure it and will never give it to anyone else. But as a child, filial piety is the greatest duty! If father and you both think that grandfather should not have given it to Mo Yi, and that Mo Yi is not worthy of being a daughter of the Mo family! Then open the ancestral hall and make it clear! I will give it up."
Wang was shocked and stared at Mo Yi, unable to respond for a moment!
Mo Wen also sat up straight, his eyes wide open: Is this girl crazy? ! ? How dare she say such outrageous words?
It is just as the book says, the dog that bites doesn’t bark!
Oh, she can listen to her parents for the sake of filial piety!
But it was the grandparents’ intention to give the box to all the children and grandchildren, and the mother asked her to take it out... So, does that mean the mother is not observing filial piety towards her grandparents?
And you also need to... open the ancestral hall and drive her out of the Mohist school before she is willing to hand over the box?
How big a commotion would that be?
If you kick a girl out of the house for such a small thing, wouldn't others laugh at you to death if they knew about it?
She is retreating to advance!
This cunning girl! Ni Laowu!
"If fifth sister doesn't want to give it, just say so. There's no need to accuse mother of so many crimes!" Mo Wen said hatefully.
Mo Yi immediately responded: "When my sister gave mother this idea, she should have thought carefully whether it was appropriate. Would it be a trap to frame mother and make her appear unfilial and unkind?"
"What did you say?!" Mo Wen was anxious and stood up with a pair of beautiful big eyes staring!
Wang became even angrier. "Ha! This is outrageous! How dare you threaten me?! Someone, go to her room and bring her things to me!"
Mo Yi was also anxious. There were her goods around the box. It would be troublesome if she was discovered!
"Mother! If you try to snatch it away, I will kneel down in front of my grandfather's tablet and cry. I beg my grandfather's spirit in heaven to help me!"
"You!" No matter what Wang did, she never expected Mo Yi to be so tough.
If this really gets out of hand, won’t the first and third wives be made a fool of themselves?
If the news spreads to the Xu family, the impact will be even greater! This damn girl... is really going crazy!
Wang's round body was shaking with anger. "You...you..." She didn't know what to say next.
Although Mo Yi shocked Wang, it was still a matter of using a stick to fight a wolf... I was afraid that she would get anxious and really let someone go to her room...
So, he softened his tone: "Besides, my box is damaged. Isn't mother afraid that giving it to my eldest sister as a dowry will be a bad omen and lead to an unhappy marriage?"
She wanted to keep the peace, but she forgot how infuriating these words were.
Sure enough, Wang and Mo Wen were angry again!
Wang stood up and pointed at Mo Yi's nose, "How dare you curse your sister like this!? You have a black heart!"
Mo Qing watched the excitement for a long time and was extremely excited. He didn't mind making trouble: "Fifth sister, you didn't take good care of the things given by our grandparents and broke them! Isn't that a great act of filial piety?"
Seeing his mother and sister rushing forward, Mo Wen turned around and sat down with a sneer on his face.
"Mo Qing, why are you pretending to be stupid?" Mo Yi became excited. "The things in my house are all the leftovers from you. The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea has many characters and is very gorgeous, but why was it given to me? That's because there is no He Xiangu among the Eight Immortals! Even Lan Caihe is broken!"
After hearing this, Wang suddenly remembered: In fact, the one about the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is as beautiful as the one about the Fairy Scattering Flowers!
No, it looks better than that.
Full work and full materials!
It’s a pity that Lan Caihe was broken at the waist, but he was only broken into two pieces and could at least be glued together.
But after He Xiangu was shattered, all the materials were lost and it became the Seven Fairies...So, after struggling for a long time, the sisters all gave up.
Mo Wen just remembered it, and couldn't help feeling unlucky...
Mo Qing didn't remember, but looking at the expressions of his mother and elder sister, it was probably true. Hehe, his box was not broken!
So she laughed happily.
Seeing Mo Qing's petty attitude, Mo Yi immediately pointed at her and said, "Mother, Sixth Sister's Golden Carp Playing with Golden Toad and Third Sister's Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers go well together. Why don't you and sister ask Sixth Sister for it?!"
Mo Qing's personality is like that of the Wang family: stingy, snobbish, and unrefined.
Mo Yi poked her lungs again, and she jumped up immediately, staring at Mo Yi: "What nonsense are you talking about? My grandfather gave it to me, so it's mine. Why should I give it to her!?"
Then he turned around and glared at Mo Wen: "You are going to marry a noble man, so don't be so careless! The abacus beads have even landed on your own sister's head! If this gets to the Xu family, they will laugh at you! Humph!"
These words made Mo Wen blush with embarrassment.
Not only did he not get to watch the fun, but he also nearly lost his treasure. Mo Qing was upset. He stomped his feet angrily, turned around and ran away.
"Mo Yi! Your marriage hasn't happened yet! Don't get carried away! If you piss me off, forget about getting married. Just become a nun!" Wang threatened angrily.
Mo Yi was indeed angry just now, but now he calmed down!
As a mother, what else can I say when someone threatens my own daughter's marriage? If I continue to make trouble, then I am sick.
Maybe I really picked it up from the mountain gate!
"Mother, I just said: marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. I don't dare to have my own ideas. I will listen to whatever you want, mother!"
"Get out of here!" Wang was so angry that she was panting and pointing outside.
Mo Yi turned and left.
The blush on Mo Wen's face had not yet faded, but her heart had completely turned cold, and she regretted it once again.
But seeing how angry her mother was, she had no choice but to persuade him: "Forget it, mother. This was just a sudden thought, and I don't really want her. If the box is broken, I don't want my daughter anymore!"
"This damn girl! She has followed your father's bad temper! It makes me so angry!" Wang wiped the sweat from her forehead. No wonder he loves this damn girl the most!
Mo Wen felt that this was an opportunity, so he added, "I usually feel that my sister is honest and loyal, but when she encounters something, I find that she is actually like this... To be honest, entering the Liang family like this is not necessarily a good thing. We have been friends with the Liang family for many years. Don't let her make enemies instead of a good marriage, that would be a loss!"
"That's right!" Wang said hatefully.
"The Liang family father and son are hardworking and have a bright future. Who knows, they might be able to help my eldest brother in the future. In any case, our relationship cannot be bad!"
Wang agreed even more: "You are right! This damn girl dared to argue with me! If Mrs. Liang saw her behavior, would she be happy? Good! I will tell your aunt later and let this be done! Let your father find her himself. I don't care about her anymore!"
Wang wiped her sweat and chattered non-stop...
