Second Master: "???" This sounds so strange.
"Mother, scholarship cannot be rushed. It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just..."
Before Second Master could finish speaking, Mo Yan smacked him with a feather duster, hitting him squarely on the shin. "Kneel down!"
Second Master knelt down in a wronged manner, quite quickly, "Mother, what are you doing? I don't think I did anything wrong."
Mo Yan suddenly felt that the feather duster might not be powerful enough, so she grabbed the whip instead. After all, what if she accidentally killed someone with a stick if she didn't control her strength?
"Didn't you say you were good at academics? You can't even recite the book. Who are you trying to fool?" Mo Yan sneered and lashed out with her whip.
Second Master tried to run away as soon as he got up, but Mo Yan lashed out with her whip, which wrapped around his foot and pulled hard, causing him to fall flat on his face. He almost lost a front tooth.
He shakily got up and said, "Mother, can you please give your son some face? I'm a father now." You can't hit me like this.
"Well, you'd better be assertive. What can I do if you're so annoying? Can't you talk properly now? If not, you can sleep on your stomach tonight."
Mo Yan held the whip and looked at him, her hand poised to strike at any moment.
Second brother: "..."
"Mother, you have to let your son know what he did wrong, right?" Otherwise, wouldn't all the beating he took have been for nothing?
"You don't know? Then you deserve to be hit even more." Upon hearing this, Mo Yan found another reason.
He beat him until his skin was torn and bleeding, then calmly looked at him and spoke.
"Now I'll tell you, you took 1,500 taels from the accounting office this month. How did you use it?"
I told you to study, but you just want to spend money! And it's not even the middle of the month yet, why don't you just eat yourself up?
Not to mention the number of women you've brought home. What, are you treating your home like a charity? You fall in love with every woman you see and bring one home with you? Why don't you support yourself? What kind of skill is it to sponge off your parents?
Starting tomorrow, you will raise your own concubine. Your wife is not allowed to contribute any money; she didn't marry you to provide you with a concubine.
As for his concubines, whether it was true love or not, they shouldn't feel wronged after choosing this path; that's just how the world is.
Second Master: "..."
"From now on, don't expect any money other than necessary living expenses."
As for the concubines, I won't kick them out. Let them support themselves. Later, I'll assign them some embroidery work so they can earn their own money. Of course, if you, as the master, are successful and rise to prominence, then they can continue to live a life of luxury.
With each word Mo Yan spoke, the Second Master's heart sank a little further. He looked up and saw that his mother's expression was extremely serious. His mother was really going to do it.
"Mother, what's wrong? Are you sick?" She suddenly seems like a different person. "Mother, what happened to you?"
"Really?" Mo Yan raised an eyebrow and took a sip of tea. "It's probably because your father doesn't plan to establish an heir and wants to divide the inheritance among his precious son. With his meager wealth, he actually dares to talk about dividing the inheritance equally. It's laughable. Don't even dream about taking a share from my dowry."
Second Master: "!!!!" Damn, he's the poor fish, caught in the crossfire.
Just then, a servant announced that the master had arrived.
Upon hearing this, the second master thought, "My eldest brother is here. Shouldn't he be able to persuade Mother? Surely he can?" He placed all his hopes on his eldest brother.
When the old man came in, he saw his younger brother kneeling on the ground, his eyes shining as he looked at him.
"Brother, you must persuade Mother."
The eldest son was completely bewildered; he had no idea what was going on. He was already a successful candidate in the provincial examination and was preparing to take the imperial examination. However, his father had never been very satisfied with him.
"What happened, Mother? Why did you make my second brother kneel down?"
"Nothing, I just want to hit someone today." Mo Yan didn't say much and started beating people up.
Boss: "???"
Youngest son: "!!!!" Mother did the right thing!
The eldest brother was also beaten up, and only then did Mo Yan tell her about the old man's affair.
"To be honest with you, I certainly wouldn't let him bully me like this. Originally, I was thinking of suing him for favoring his concubine over his wife and then taking care of him, but I thought it wouldn't be good for your reputation."
The two people kneeling on the ground: "..." Mother, thank you for knowing this.
"But when I calmed down and took a look, I realized that you two weren't any better."
The two: "???" How are we not good people?
Bah, we're good stuff.
Bah, we're not even human.
...
"Mother, we have always respected you and would never do anything to hurt you. As for Father, rest assured that we two brothers will definitely make you proud in the future."
The youngest son is useless at everything, but he's the best at saying nice things.
"By the time you become my pride, I'm afraid the grass on my grave will be taller than you. You shouldn't become my pride anymore; just take care of yourself and your concubine." Forget about everything else. Instead of daydreaming, I might as well wash up and go to bed early.
The youngest son: "..." His mother's words really hurt.
The eldest son immediately spoke up, "Mother, I will earn you an imperial title."
"So, do you still have to fight for one for your sweetheart? Let me tell you, as long as I'm alive, you've never even considered having a second wife."
To be honest, Mo Yan didn't think much of her eldest son either. If you really cared about your childhood sweetheart, you wouldn't have agreed to marry her in the first place.
"Mother, that's your niece, how can you not see her good qualities?"
The eldest son was a little confused as to why his mother couldn't see Wan'er's good qualities.
"What do you want me to see? Watch her and your wife fight all day long? Or watch her raise a daughter who schemes against her own older sister?"
Mo Yan sneered and kicked the boss, "But this is all your fault. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be like this now, and she wouldn't need to scheme."
Boss: "???"
"Since you liked it, why couldn't you stick to it back then? I don't want to say it was for the sake of a promise. I asked you back then whether you were willing to continue this marriage. If you weren't willing, I wouldn't have forced you."
The original owner had given him the right to choose back then. "You gave up that relationship and chose to get married, but in the end you want to be a concubine? What gives you the right?"
You're spending your wife's money to support your concubine and your daughter. How can you be so shameless?
The eldest brother: "..." Suddenly he didn't know what to say.
"I'm not going to say anything now. Starting today, if you bring anyone back, I'll kick you all out. You'll have to fend for yourselves."
Mo Yan held the whip and swung it around above their heads; if they had any other opinions, she would just whip them.
"Mother, your son will absolutely not bring anyone back." The eldest son quickly assured her. He only had one concubine, who was also his childhood sweetheart.
