Chapter 301: What?
After Xia Guyu and Mo Daya left Xia Qingxi's house, they walked back together. Because they both lived in the new family compound, they each held a bouquet of flowers and chatted as they walked.
"Da Ya, Qingxi's family compound is so nice. I wish I could live in the old family compound." Xia Guyu said to Daya enviously.
"Ah? Do you think it's not good to live in a building?" Daya asked in surprise. After all, when the new family compound compound was first built, everyone wanted to move in. Those who stayed in the old family compound were not allocated a house.
"No, it's too small, there's no yard, and there's no place to move around. If I had to choose, I would definitely live in Qingxi's house, in the courtyard of the old family." Xia Guyu and Xia Qingxi had the same idea, thinking that a house with a yard was better than a building.
"Oh, I... I also think the house we lived in before was more spacious." Mo Daya nodded in agreement. They used to live in the courtyard of the old family, and everyone had a room. Later, they lived in the family building, and there were not enough rooms, so she could only live in a small storage room.
In fact, there was a large room in the house that was empty, but her stepmother Zhu Wanru said that the room should be kept for Mo Xiaoxiao, and Mo Xiaoxiao would live there when she came back.
But the room had been empty for almost half a year, and Mo Xiaoxiao hadn't come back, but they still left it empty, letting Daya live in the storage room.
The two of them walked to the intersection while talking, and just as they were about to go to the family building, they suddenly heard a loud shout from behind:
"Mo Daya!"
Hearing the voice, the two of them turned around at the same time, and saw Mo Zhenzhen holding a net bag in her hand, with four lunch boxes in the net bag, holding her head high, and walking towards them with an angry face.
Glancing at Xia Guyu next to her, Mo Zhenzhen's face became even worse. Facing this sweet and lovely appearance, and the "new object" of her "ex-boyfriend", how could she be in a good mood?
What she didn't expect was that her half-sister, whom she had always looked down upon and felt was not presentable, actually walked with her. The two of them were talking and laughing, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.
"Oh, you really have a lot of leisure time. After work, you don't go home to cook, but go to pick flowers." Mo Zhenzhen looked at the flowers in Mo Daya's arms with a sidelong glance, her face full of anger.
In the past, Mo Daya always cooked, and as soon as she got home, a sumptuous meal was already on the table. But today, when she went home, the food was cold and the cook hadn't come back yet.
Seeing that it was past mealtime, her mother asked her to go to the cafeteria to get food. She was carrying four boxes of food by herself, and her hands were sore from carrying them. But she saw Mo Daya with the person she hated, holding flowers and talking and laughing. How could she not be angry?
Mo Daya has a gentle personality. She knew that she was wrong not to go home to cook and say hello today, so she did not refute Mo Zhenzhen's reprimand.
Xia Guyu, who was standing by, heard Mo Daya mention her family in the afternoon, and she felt a little unfair for her.
But she was a sensible person. After all, this was someone else's family affair, so she didn't want to intervene. Seeing that Daya didn't say anything, she didn't say much either.
However, the silence of the two people encouraged Mo Zhenzhen's arrogance. She thought that both of them were easy to control. She raised her chin, looked at Mo Daya, and began to criticize:
"Mo Daya, I advise you to put yourself in the right position and have less contact with those questionable women."
Xia Guyu was already very dissatisfied with Mo Daya's family. She didn't expect that the woman in front of her was so uneducated when they met for the first time. She slandered her as soon as she opened her mouth. She has never been a person who would be angry. She immediately retorted:
"Who do you say is a questionable woman?" After that, she raised her chin like Mo Zhenzhen and smiled sarcastically:
"I see you are already an adult, how come you can't even speak human language?"
Mo Daya seldom quarreled with Mo Zhenzhen and tolerated and gave in to her in almost everything. But now seeing her insulting her friend for no reason and not wanting Guyu to be wronged because of her, she immediately said,
"Mo Zhenzhen, you are going too far. How can you scold people without knowing right or wrong?"
Mo Zhenzhen didn't expect that the woman in front of her was so short but had such a strong aura. She didn't expect that Mo Daya, who had always been a bullied person, would dare to "challenge" her.
Knowing that what she just said was unreasonable, Mo Zhenzhen looked at Xia Guyu and spoke in a noticeably weaker tone:
"I didn't mention you by name, why are you so excited?" After saying that, she immediately directed her spearhead at the bullied Mo Daya:
"You don't go home to cook after work, and let our family go hungry. You still have the face to speak for others?"
"If she doesn't cook in your family, does that mean she won't eat? Don't you have hands and can't you do it? She is your father's daughter, not your nanny. What qualifications do you have to order her to do this and that?" Xia Guyu was very disgusted with Mo Zhenzhen's bossy attitude. He stood in front of Mo Daya and fought back for her.
This was the first time that someone confronted Mo Zhenzhen so forcefully. Mo Zhenzhen was a little slow to react. After a long while, she replied with a cold face:
"It's okay for her not to cook, but don't even think about eating!"
Mo Zhenzhen indeed only had four lunch boxes in her hands, one for her parents, one for her and her brother, and no one for Mo Daya. If Mo Daya didn't eat at Xia Qingling's house today, she would have nothing to eat when she returned home.
"Also, why do you, an outsider, need to take care of our family affairs?" Knowing that Xia Guyu was not easy to mess with, Mo Zhenzhen took out her anger on Mo Daya who was standing aside:
"Mo Daya, I warn you, if you dare to do this again in the future, don't stay in my house, go back to your countryside!"
Mo Daya didn't know how many times she had heard the words to get out, but people under the eaves had to bow their heads. When she came to the army from the countryside, her mother also repeatedly reminded her that she must not make them angry, not talk back, and be more tolerant and do more, so that she could stay in this family.
She also felt that her sudden visit to her father Mo Jianguo had added a lot of burdens to him, so she had always been diligent and hardworking, and swallowed any grievances.
But she had been a slave at home for so many years, and had endured so many years, but what she got in return was the stepmother and her children's humiliation and abuse.
Especially after listening to Xia Qingli's analysis in the afternoon, she knew that Zhu Wanru and Mo Jianguo might have been together for a long time, and even the divorce between Mo Jianguo and her mother might be planned by them. She could no longer calm down.
She just didn't go home to cook for one day, and they didn't even think of beating her during the meal. Now she heard Mo Zhenzhen humiliating her like this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and asked loudly:
"Why should I leave? Your surname is Mo, so I am not Mo?"
