Hearing Mo Yuan say this, and with Mo Youshan constantly encouraging him from the side, "Take it, your brother said so, take it first!"
Mo Hongying then cautiously reached out and took the stack of banknotes. After carefully counting them, she carefully put them into her pocket. She looked up at Mo Yuan and said earnestly, "Okay, Xiao Yuan, don't worry, I'll keep good records. Even when you're not here, I'll take good care of the mushroom shed! There won't be any problems."
Seeing that the eldest sister was finally willing to accept the money, Mo Yuan and Mo Youshan couldn't help but smile at each other, and a huge weight was finally lifted from their hearts.
However, at this moment, Mo Youxian, who had been quiet all along, suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Xiao Yuan, are you really determined to go to Shanghai?" Mo Yuan nodded and replied firmly, "Yes, Dad, I've made up my mind. I've discussed it with Lin Xue before, and since there's nothing much going on at home lately, I think it's a good opportunity to visit her family! After all, Lin Xue hasn't been home for so many years, and now that things are more relaxed, she doesn't care much anymore. I'll go back with her, stay for a while, and then come back!"
After receiving Mo Yuan's affirmative reply, Mo Youshan's expression became extremely serious.
He stepped forward, patted Mo Yuan on the shoulder, and earnestly advised, "Xiao Xue's family is from the city. For her to marry into our small Mo Village, we are, in principle, doing well."
So when you get to their house, if they say something unpleasant or have a bad attitude, you absolutely mustn't take it to heart. Just pretend you didn't hear it. Lower your head and bend your back. As long as you can marry a good wife like Lin Xue, you should feel content.
Also, our family's financial situation is much better than before, so please bring some expensive gifts this time to show our sincerity. Remember what I said, and don't be stubborn like before!
In Mo Youshan's view, being able to marry a woman like Lin Xue was a blessing that his Mo family had accumulated over several generations!
This is something I never dared to dream of. A beautiful young woman like Lin Xue, who is well-educated, intelligent, and beautiful, gave up the opportunity to return to the city and willingly stayed in this poor and backward rural area to marry Mo Yuan. It can truly be said that Mo Yuan, this "toad," got to eat "swan meat."
So when he heard that Mo Yuan planned to accompany Lin Xue back to Shanghai, Mo Youshan felt that it was only natural.
After all, the social environment is gradually improving. People can now freely travel to Shanghai by train without any obstacles, and they are also much more financially secure. With money in their pockets, they can take this opportunity to go back and visit their relatives.
Therefore, he hoped that Mo Yuan would take this trip very seriously. Since he had married such a wonderful girl, it was only right and not excessive to be accommodating and flattering to her family.
On the other hand, Mo Youshan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He was afraid that Mo Yuan, this poor boy who had always lived in the countryside, would suddenly become arrogant and haughty after going to the bustling big city, since he had some money. In addition, he had never seen much of the world and did not know how to communicate with people. If he accidentally said or did something wrong and displeased Lin Xue's family, it would be a big problem.
That is why Mo Youshan so seriously and patiently gave Mo Yuan his repeated instructions.
The eldest sister standing to the side nodded repeatedly, expressing her strong agreement with these words. In everyone's mind, Lin Xue was undoubtedly an exceptionally outstanding and rare good girl.
"That's right, Xiao Yuan. You must keep these words in mind! Lin Xue is such a good girl, and she's willing to marry you. This is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes!"
When you go to Shanghai this time, you must make a good impression and do your best to win over Lin Xue's family. You know, now that things are really over between you two, even if they are a hundred times unwilling, they probably won't make things too difficult for you.
At most, they'll just mutter a few unpleasant words. You'd better thicken your skin and don't get into any conflict!
Seeing his father and elder sister giving him these instructions as if he were a child, Mo Yuan felt a little helpless. However, he also understood that it all stemmed from their genuine care and love for him.
So, despite his slight impatience, he forced himself to remain calm and patiently explained to the two of them: "Dad, eldest sister, please don't worry! I know how important this matter is. Besides, Lin Xue had already written home to explain the situation, so her family has a general understanding of the matter and hasn't raised any objections. Everything will be fine... Once I get there, I will definitely be careful with my words and actions and do my best!"
Seeing Mo Yuan's seriousness, Mo Youshan and Mo Hongying felt relieved. Just then...
A sudden commotion erupted at the door, followed by Daya and Erdan bursting in like a whirlwind. Breathless, they rushed inside and immediately clung to Mo Hongying, calling out repeatedly, "Mother, Mother, you're finally back! Tell us quickly, did you bring us anything delicious?"
Looking at the two children's greedy and expectant faces, Mo Hongying felt a mix of emotions.
In the past, she would have been flustered and at a loss in this situation.
Back then, when the two children saw other children being given gifts, candy, or snacks by their parents or family members, they would always pester her for them when they got home.
However, at that time, the family was poor and could not afford a single spare penny. How could Mo Hongying possibly fulfill such a simple wish of her children?
As time went by, the two children seemed to understand the family's situation and gradually stopped asking her for these things. But this premature maturity caused Mo Hongying immense heartache.
As a mother, being unable to give her child a carefree, joyful, and sweet childhood is undoubtedly her greatest dereliction of duty and regret.
Fortunately, the family eventually moved to Xiaomozhuang.
Here, the two children received meticulous care and attention from their uncle, Mo Yuan. Under Mo Yuan's attentive care, the two children gradually became more cheerful and rediscovered their childlike innocence.
This time, when faced with the two children's eager requests once again, Mo Hongying's face lit up with a relieved smile.
She slowly took out the candies and toys she had carefully prepared from her pocket and handed them to the children...
