When Cao Laoliu saw those people tumbling and crawling out, he panicked and quickly ran away.
The others behind them were cursing and swearing as they ran.
Perhaps they knew that stumbling upon such a disgraceful thing was not a good thing, and in their eyes it was quite unlucky, but they were also a little excited inside, so they went back while cursing and discussing.
There's no need to ask about the outcome. The villagers don't have much entertainment on a daily basis, but they are very enthusiastic about scandalous gossip and chaotic affairs. Their gossip is burning brightly and can easily spread throughout the entire village.
The news spread like wildfire, and in no time, everyone in the village knew about it.
The Mo family members were stunned. They were just about to act when someone else acted before them! Much faster than them!
They looked at each other, then felt it was reasonable; it was a good thing that they didn't have to do anything.
Chen Qiuxia's story quickly became the talk of the village, proving the saying: "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast."
It hasn't been that long! The long tongues of these ancient people are quite terrifying!
Su Nanxi had been paying close attention to the commotion outside. After hearing the news, she frowned slightly, but then she felt relieved. Since things had come to this, she might as well just watch the show.
When Mo Yunmei woke up, she felt weak and sore all over, and her head was still heavy. She couldn't figure out what was going on. When she found herself in her own bed, she was even more confused.
Because she clearly remembered that she accompanied Chen Qiuxia for a walk, and later they went into a thatched hut, and then she couldn't remember anything else, but she certainly didn't walk back by herself.
Old Mrs. Mo, with a stern face, told her to honestly explain where she had gone after returning from work, and not to lie about it in the slightest, otherwise she would not be whipped on the feet, but on the body.
When Mo Yunmei saw that her mother's expression was off, her heart skipped a beat. She was still quite smart and knew that something must have happened, otherwise her mother wouldn't have asked her so seriously.
Outside, Mo Laoda cracked his bamboo whip, and the sound of it slicing through the air was so chilling that Mo Yunmei trembled in fright.
She knew her older brother was warning her that the bamboo whip was meant for her, and whether it would actually hit her depended entirely on her attitude.
Mo Yunmei chose to tell the truth, recounting in detail what happened after she returned from work, without daring to hide anything.
After hearing the explanation, Old Mrs. Mo's face did not improve at all; on the contrary, it became even more gloomy. In Mo Yunmei's mind, it was as black as the bottom of a pot!
But Mo Yunmei didn't dare to say it. She usually loved to jump around, but she was very perceptive of the dangers she was about to face. Anything she said now would be wrong!
Grandma Mo's face darkened as she tried to suppress her anger. After a while, she asked Mo Yunmei, "Do you know what Chen Qiuxia actually asked you to do?"
Mo Yunmei wanted to suggest going to keep Qiuxia company so she could relax, but when she looked up and saw her mother staring at her coldly, she swallowed her words. Her mother looked too scary; what she said was definitely not what her mother wanted to hear.
But she couldn't think of anything else Qiuxia could do. She rolled her eyes left and right, but couldn't come up with anything, so she could only answer truthfully in a low voice, "I don't know."
Grandma Mo didn't really expect Mo Yunmei to know. "Then I'll take you out for a walk. You're not allowed to make a sound for a while, you can only listen!"
By this time, the Mo family had already eaten lunch and had also delivered food to the craftsmen, so everyone in the family was present, but none of them looked too good.
Some were angry at their lack of ambition, some hated others, and some hated themselves for not being strong enough.
Su Nanxi knew that Mo Yunmei had woken up, but she didn't go over. She didn't intend to see Mo Yunmei again, afraid that her hands would itch again, so she didn't even glance at her.
Mo Yunmei wasn't stupid. Seeing the expressions on her family's faces, she knew something might have happened, so she cooperated and went out with Old Madam Mo. She didn't dare to mention that she was hungry.
After wandering around the village, Mo Yunmei had no idea how she got back; she was completely dumbfounded.
Grandma Mo said in a very irritable tone, "Do you know what your sister Qiuxia asked you to do?"
Mo Yunmei's mind went blank. She was so shocked that she didn't know how to speak. After a long while, she finally mumbled, "I know, I know."
"Hmph!" Old Mrs. Mo was still furious. "This is the kind of good sister you think you have! If it weren't for the mute mother saving you in time, you would have fallen into the mud and your life would have been ruined! If you don't use your brain and listen to your family more, who will be there to save you in time in the future?"
Mo Yunmei mumbled blankly, "Cousin Liu Hai said I'm a lucky person who will marry into a rich family, and he even said he'd introduce me to someone in a few days!"
Grandma Mo slapped a tablecloth across his face, her voice rising sharply, "What's the use of your brain? Don't you know what Liu Hai does for a living? Liu Hai was the one who arranged that marriage for Sanya from the Liu family. You think she really married into a rich family? She was sold to them, but the money went to Liu Hai. If you keep believing that, you won't even know how you died!"
"Oh!" Mo Yunmei responded blankly, it was unclear whether she had actually heard her.
Mo Yunmei listened, but it's unclear how long she can believe it.
Grandma Mo was so angry that her chest ached. She didn't pity Chen Qiuxia at all; it was all her own fault. They hadn't even taken any action yet, and she had already messed things up. She was angry at Mo Yunmei, who was brainless and disobedient, and she knew that similar things would happen again in the future.
Seeing his mother so distressed, and also feeling disgusted with Mo Yunmei, Mo Laoda quickly went over with his wife to comfort her.
Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Mo quickly came over.
With everyone chiming in, they gradually calmed down Old Lady Mo's anger. Seeing that Old Lady Mo's complexion had improved, the tension in their hearts slowly eased.
They knew that anger and impulsiveness were the easiest things to do, and such incidents had happened before in the village; people couldn't be saved on the spot, especially the elderly, who were in the most danger.
This scared them half to death! They hoped nothing bad would happen! The family was perfectly fine, and they didn't want any accidents to occur!
Hearing the commotion outside, Su Nanxi also pushed Mo Qinghe out. At this moment, there was no need for many words, but everyone had to be there!
In his haste, Mo Qinghe stood up and walked over without even sitting in his wheelchair.
When Grandma Mo saw this, she was shocked. She opened her arms and rushed forward, saying, "Oh dear! Why did you suddenly start walking? What if you hurt your bones? The doctor said it takes time. Take it slow and don't rush. Sit down first."
When the others saw this, they came over and asked Mo Qinghe to sit down first, fearing that he might hurt his leg if he got up too quickly.
Mo Qinghe had no choice but to slowly retreat and sit back in his wheelchair.
Grandma Mo asked with concern, "San'er, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Does your leg hurt?"
Mo Qinghe shook his head. "No, I'm fine. Everyone, don't worry. I was just in a hurry and forgot. I'll be more careful in the future."
Phew! It's alright! It's alright!
"Third son, do you feel any tightness in your legs?"
