Xiao Minghui's bearded face was filled with great confusion.
Although Xiao Minghui is only forty years old this year, he is already considered a grandfather in this era and needs to grow a beard. Because Xiao Minghui is naturally handsome, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to scare people, so he grew a beard. Looking at him... he has nothing to do with being handsome anymore.
"Mom, you're not joking, are you? Don't we sell pork?"
How does this have anything to do with restaurants?
Of course, his family did have some money; otherwise, how could his mother have acquired an estate and prepared things for his two maids every year? His own salary certainly wouldn't have been enough.
"That's my property, why should I tell you?"
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at him as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Xiao Minghui: "..."
"Then why are you telling me this now?"
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Of course I'm afraid you'll implicate me. If this charge against you is established, do you think our family will have a good future?"
Xiao Minghui, have you ever thought about why Lin Jun is so arrogant and doesn't give you any face in this hall?
And how come Lin Ling was so easily outmaneuvered back then? And these past two years, you've been completely blinded by greed, your brain is full of holes, and your intelligence has been wasted?
After reviewing all of the original owner's memories, Mo Yan discovered something: although Lin Ling and Lin Jun were stupid and brainless, they probably had someone behind them.
As for who it is, that depends on whether Xiao Minghui can find out.
Hearing those last few words, Xiao Minghui felt uneasy. He didn't seem so bad after all.
"Mom, do you think I'm bewitched? I just feel that Lin Ling is mine now, and I can't just ignore her."
"Since the mother and son didn't favor concubines over their wives, the household can't be left unattended. You Ran is unwilling to manage things and just spends her days eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers in the courtyard. I can't very well take charge of the household myself..."
Xiao Minghui swallowed hard, not daring to continue. His mother had taken out a bamboo stick, which was glowing green. He felt it would hurt a lot if he were hit with it. He swallowed again, but the words he was about to say turned out to be something else entirely.
"Mother, it's all my fault. I'm stupid and brainless. Why don't you tell me? I'll listen."
Since Mo Yan had already brought out the bamboo, it was natural to give it a tap. "Hold out your hand."
Mo Yan hit his hand three times with a bamboo stick, and his hand stung with pain...
“Mother, please come to the estate with your son. I will ask Lin Ling myself.”
Xiao Minghui's mind has returned to normal now, and he knows what he should do first.
Mo Yan naturally wanted to go along too, to see who was behind Lin Ling and what kind of trouble they were up to, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease.
As for Xiao Yudie, she will also be coming along. Yudie is not young anymore and should know these things, otherwise how will she survive here in the future?
Even if she wants to live a carefree life in the future, she can't just be a naive and innocent girl.
When Xiao Yudie learned that she was going to the village with her father and grandmother, she was a little confused. She had learned a lot today and wrote it all down. She marked the words she didn't know how to write with circles and crosses, as long as she could understand them herself. Sometimes she also wrote stick figures.
Finally, Mo Yan had Xiao Yufei brought over, tied her up, gagged her, and then packed her up and sent her over.
Seeing his little girl, Xiao Minghui felt a pang of sadness and looked at his mother.
"If you think it's okay for your daughter to insult your mother and want revenge on me, to kill my daughter, then I'll let you go right now?"
Xiao Minghui's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiao Yufei with a dark expression. "Is that really what you think?"
Xiao Yufei was stunned. She hadn't said any of this, so how did this old woman know?
Looking at Xiao Yufei's expression, Xiao Minghui understood everything.
“I think your aunt has really spoiled you. How could you be so disobedient? You should stay on the estate and reflect on your behavior. Your grandmother has worked hard all her life, how can you be so unfilial!”
Xiao Yufei: "..." What's wrong with her? Can't she just mutter a few words in her mind?
"Alright, Xiao Minghui, don't try to fool me here. Don't think that you can get away with this by cursing a few times. You can disrespect your grandmother now and be brainless. You'll be able to cause a huge disaster in the future. It's not a pity that she dies, but it's not acceptable for her to implicate her relatives and friends. That's why the second young lady of the Xiao family is seriously ill and will not live much longer."
This is the ending Mo Yan gave her: she will be plagued by illness from now on.
Xiao Minghui's mind was buzzing, and his scalp was tingling. So much had happened in the past two days. He needed to keep the jokes going, but he dared not disobey his mother's arrangements. His backside was still incredibly uncomfortable, it hurt, but he couldn't show it and could only endure it...
Xiao Yufei was in the same situation, her forehead was covered in sweat and her face was pale. She couldn't scream either, her mouth was blocked and she couldn't make a sound.
"Mother, why did you bring two maids with you?"
Xiao Minghui could only try to change the subject, otherwise this time would be too unbearable.
“Yu Die is old enough to know how dangerous this world is. As for Xiao Yufei, just leave her at the manor and let her reflect on her actions.”
"Whether the second young lady lives or dies, I need to wait and see."
Xiao Yufei: "???"
Xiao Yufei was terrified, her body trembling uncontrollably. Oh my god, oh my god, this old woman wanted to kill her! She looked desperately at her father, hoping he would look at her…
Her eyes were filled with tears; she was utterly desperate.
Xiao Minghui naturally noticed all of this. Looking at his two daughters, he felt a pang of sadness. "Yudie, Yufei, your grandmother is right. The reason you are like this today is all my fault. I didn't pay attention to your growth, and I didn't take care of you."
One of the daughters had a difficult life, despairing in adversity, while the other grew up spoiled and became somewhat selfish.
He had made countless excuses for himself, thinking that none of this had anything to do with him as the father, but in fact it had a lot to do with him.
As a father, he failed to care about his daughter, which was the biggest dereliction of duty. He always thought that he could leave the family matters to Lin Ling, but he never thought about what he should do.
"It's because I didn't care about you, didn't care about your growth, that Yudie suffered so much injustice, and that Yufei, you were raised by your aunt to be selfish and self-centered."
Yufei, you and your sister are both daughters of the Xiao family. Your reputations are intertwined. Once you leave the Xiao family, you are both daughters of the Xiao family. You should support each other, understand?
You might feel that your grandmother treats you badly and hits you all the time, but she's just teaching you a lesson. Do you really think what your aunt says is right?
Xiao Minghui felt that he was also in a bit of a dilemma, as there were some things he couldn't say directly to his daughter.
