Chapter 8: The Locusts
The reason why Mo Yi didn't give it to Mo Yuan...
That's because: she definitely can't be dealt with with just one pot.
After bargaining, he took it away, and in a blink of an eye, Third Auntie came. Then, Mo Qing would definitely not be disappointed.
She had a severe headache, and as soon as Mo Yuan left, she immediately ordered two maids, one to go find her aunt, and the other to go with her and hide the private work they had done in the inner room.
really……
Not long after, footsteps were heard:
"Mo Yi! Come out!" Her voice was sharp and angry...
I opened the door and saw...
Liu glared with eyes wide open, looking aggressive.
Mo Yuan followed behind her, wiping away tears. Moreover, she was really crying! Her eyes and nose were red!
"Aunt San is here, please come in..." Mo Yi tried to stay calm.
I thought helplessly in my heart: This is a once-in-a-century opportunity that the war has reached my little courtyard.
Liu glanced at Mo Yi, swung her handkerchief and walked into the house angrily, but was stunned for a moment.
She never imagined that the house where Mo Yi lived was so shabby, small and messy... It didn't look like a girl's boudoir at all!
The courtyard of the third room is the most spacious as only Liu and Mo Yuan live there.
At least two of the small courtyards were empty.
As for the main house, ever since the two girls got married, Zhuang started to prepare a new house for Mo Fan.
The second house had the most people, with five children alone. Moda was also married.
A few years ago, Wang and Zhuang wanted Mo Yi and Mo Qing to move into the three-room courtyard.
As soon as I mentioned it to Mrs. Liu, before I even told her the benefits she wanted, she got furious.
I couldn't continue.
At this moment, looking at this room, even the light is darker than outside. Liu's ridicule is no longer concealed.
"Oh my! Fifth girl, why do you live in such a place?" She walked around the room with a sigh.
"Your mother is extremely biased. To be honest, the girls in Third Aunt's yard live in a more spacious place than you. How can this be a big deal for a grown-up girl like you... Ouch!" Before he could finish his words, he staggered and almost tripped over a flowerpot.
He was startled, then sat down on the kang, first glanced at Narcissus, then side-glanced at Mo Yi.
"Xiaowu, I heard that the daffodils you planted were delivered to your third sister. Your fourth sister came in person to ask for a pot, but you refused to give it to her?"
Mo Yi hoped that his aunt would arrive soon, and stood politely and replied, "Aunt San, I have already explained it to Fourth Sister. Although the daffodils are placed with Yi Yi, and Yi Yi is also taking care of them, she has no say. The flowers and the red sand pot were bought by Uncle. They were to be given out as New Year gifts last year. If Fourth Sister wants them, she can only wait until Uncle has taken them all and has some left before she can..."
Liu sneered, "Oh! Mo Yuan just told me that once she opens her mouth, you will be unable to respond for a long time. Fortunately, I didn't believe it!"
She crossed her legs and glared at Mo Yi: "I usually think you are a quiet kid because you are so quiet. Now I know that you are the one who got into trouble! Look at what you are doing, it's amazing!"
Mo Yi lowered his head and said nothing.
"No matter what, why could you give it to Mo Wen? Aren't you related to me?!" Liu asked as if she had been persuaded.
Mo Yi was helpless again. What kind of logic was this?
Besides: She is my sister, is it not okay to be closer to her?
I'm happy to give! Isn't that right?
How can you, the aunt of the third wife, interfere in the affairs of the second wife? You gave Mo Yuan something, what did I say?
But she only dared to complain in her heart, not out loud, so she just stood there sullenly.
"Humph! On weekdays, I am the only one who shouts the most, as if something has happened. But privately, you two wives take all the benefits. Your mother went out by car yesterday. She went out by car again today! Does this mean that the car belongs to you two wives?"
Mrs. Liu had been making a fuss about the car for a long time, but Mrs. Zhuang ignored her!
Just as she returned to her room angrily, Mo Yuan came back crying. When she heard that, she immediately got furious!
All the anger was vented on Mo Yi.
Mo Yi lowered his head and said nothing. Liu kept talking.
But at this moment, Mo Yuan had stopped crying and was pacing in Mo Yi's room.
Looks leisurely and curious, looking at this, touching that...
She even picked up the needlework she was doing and looked at it. She also lifted up the box on the kang...
"..." Where is she really turning? !
Mo Yi felt very wise: Fortunately, he put away all the things. It seems that he has to be more careful in the future...
Liu became more and more excited as she spoke. She stood up and insisted on taking the four pots of flowers.
"No!" Before she could take it, she changed her mind.
"There are almost twenty pots of flowers. Eight pots for each family." Liu decided to take eight pots away.
She planned to place two pots in her own room and two in her daughter's room, and then send four pots back to her parents' home to curry favor with her brother.
Mo Yi was speechless. She pulled Mo Yuan's collar and said, "Fourth sister, please try to persuade Third Aunt. This is Uncle's stuff. It's not that easy to take."
Mo Yuan, who was looking at the phoenix tail button, seemed not to hear anything. She looked at it seriously and gestured. Oh, this phoenix tail button with purple satin is so beautiful!
The clothes I just made will definitely look great with it.
You know what, this quiet girl is so skillful! It's hard for her to make such a beautiful and complicated knot!
What else?
She searched everywhere again, the paintings on the wall, the books on the shelf, and even opened the general jar to smell it, ignoring Mo Yi.
As they were arguing, Zhuang came into the room with a frown on her face.
When Mrs. Liu saw her sister-in-law coming, she became even more excited and pointed at the narcissus, "Sister-in-law, there are so many pots! Mo Yi clearly gave them to Mo Wen! Why didn't she give our Mo Yuan a pot when she asked for it? I came here in person and talked her out, but she still didn't give it to me! This girl has no respect for an elder like me! Mo Yuan is also her sister, right? Have we loved her for nothing all these years?"
Mo Yi almost burst out laughing: Third Aunt, it's good enough that you can recognize me when we walk on the street.
Love me?
When did it happen? How come I don't know?
Zhuang frowned: "Okay! Your eldest brother mentioned this yesterday when he came back. He wants sixteen pots to give away. There will be guests in the study room in front during the New Year. We need to put a few pots there. This is..."
She counted them one by one.
Mo Yi't wanted to talk anymore.
My uncle bought fifty daffodils, and my father bought twenty for her.
My second brother got some from his good friend...
That's how I planted these twenty or so pots.
So, all of them are considered public?
She was so angry inside, but if she said it... she was afraid that they would all come towards her.
It's really a thankless task!
After arguing for a long time, in the end, Liu and Mo Yuan each took a pot.
The mother and daughter left unhappily.
Zhuang turned around and scolded her angrily: "How can you be so naughty? Why did you give it to Mo Wen before your uncle said anything? If you hadn't given it to her, this wouldn't have happened!"
After saying that, he directly told the maid to move the rest of the flowers away.
It was because Mo Yi was strong that she didn't cry on the spot. But she was also sad to see the empty place.
Xiangzhi had no right to speak in the room, so she had been standing outside the room.
He came in to clean up now, fumbled for a long time, and then said angrily: "Girl, the buttons we made were also taken away by the fourth girl."
This time, Mo Yi couldn't hold back any more and tears started to flow.
