At this moment, Li Laosan spoke in a voice as soft as a spring breeze, and his tone was extremely gentle and kind.
Those unaware of the situation might mistakenly believe that this was just a minor argument between a husband and wife. After Mo Hongying returned to her parents' home in a huff, Li Laosan suddenly realized his mistake, repented, and came to apologize and make amends. He sincerely intended to take his wife and two children home to reconcile.
However, as a couple who knew each other inside and out and had been married for ten years, they had long seen through each other's true colors! Mo Hongying only needed to glance at him to see through his deeply hidden evil intentions.
So much time has passed since she resolutely returned to her parents' home with her two young children, yet Li Laosan has shown no concern or interest in the three of them.
But now, he has suddenly appeared here without any warning, which must mean something big.
Moreover, if Li Laosan had truly repented and was determined to do good, how could he have fallen to such a state over the years?
After careful consideration, Mo Hongying suddenly had a plan: it must be because she had recently earned some money, and somehow this news had reached Li Laosan's ears, so he rushed over pretending to make peace, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to take her and her two children home to extort a large sum of money so that he could continue to indulge in gambling, alcoholism and other vices.
Thinking of this, Mo Hongying's face instantly turned ashen. After so many years of getting along, she had seen through Li Laosan's true colors. Her eyes widened in anger as she sternly rebuked the man before her: "Li Laosan, we made it clear before that from now on we would go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other!"
Li Laosan's face, already flushed with embarrassment, instantly turned even more ashen. He felt utterly humiliated, as if he had been stripped naked in public. However, a barely perceptible glint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, a ferocity that seemed to want to devour Mo Hongying alive. But it was only for a moment; he forcibly suppressed the raging fire within him, knowing full well that he had come here with an important purpose.
So, Li Laosan forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace and said to Mo Hongying, "Hongying, what you're saying is really hurtful! We're a proper married couple, how can you say we're not related? I've been back at your parents' house for a while now, and school is about to start, so our eldest daughter needs to go to school, right? That's why I came here today to pick you and your daughter up and take you home!" Although Li Laosan spoke very kindly, his eyes involuntarily darted behind Mo Hongying.
Upon arriving, he saw a group of people surrounding Mo Hongying, each one like a well-behaved schoolchild, listening intently to her speech. Mo Hongying, meanwhile, was radiant and spirited, exuding an unprecedented confidence and charm. Since their marriage, Li Laosan had never seen Mo Hongying so dashing and spirited.
However, for Li Laosan at this moment, none of these things were the focus. What truly occupied his mind was that mushroom shed. A few days ago, while chatting with others at a dinner table, he overheard someone mentioning Xiao Mo Village. At first, he didn't take it to heart, dismissing it as just some unimportant gossip.
However, when he later learned that the protagonist of this matter was actually Mo Yuan, countless thoughts and schemes instantly surged in his mind.
Although he had no idea why his brother-in-law, who had once been on par with him and even had a notorious reputation, had suddenly become a successful businessman and a well-known tycoon.
Not only did he successfully lead his family to a prosperous and happy life, but he also built a brand-new and beautiful house.
Most importantly, one of the key figures in the mushroom greenhouse business that has been making waves and generating huge profits in the area recently is none other than Mo Yuan's elder sister, Mo Hongying!
Who would have thought that after Mo Hongying left her husband's home with nothing but her two young children, she would have such an enviable opportunity?
However, what appeared in Li Laosan's eyes was not the idea of turning over a new leaf and working together with Mo Hongying to run the mushroom shed and revitalize the family.
On the contrary, when he discovered that his drinking buddies were showing a strong interest in mushroom cultivation techniques, and after finding out that they were willing to spend a lot of money to buy the technology, an evil thought quietly began to grow in his mind.
He secretly plotted to first swindle a large sum of money from Mo Hongying, and then unearth this precious technology and resell it to others. Wouldn't that allow him to easily amass a fortune and live a carefree life?
To my utter surprise, my carefully planned scheme encountered setbacks right from the start, leaving me utterly humiliated.
Mo Hongying didn't even give him a kind look, a stark contrast to before. Back then, if he only pretended to show her a little kindness, she would accept it with joy. But times had changed, and now she was completely different from the docile woman she once was, showing him absolutely no kindness whatsoever.
After hitting a wall three times in a row, Li Laosan's last bit of patience finally ran out.
He decided to change his strategy and use another method to force the other party to comply.
His face instantly turned fierce and violent. He thought to himself: "Hmph, since Mo Hongying refuses to listen to reason and is forced to drink the penalty cup, then don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!"
