The Mo family still makes breakfast every morning, and they are busy all day long, but they are fulfilled and happy.
After the new house is fully renovated, it will be ventilated and aired out for ten to fifteen days, which will be just the right time to move in.
Over the past ten days or so, people from the Mo family have been coming to visit from time to time.
Sure enough, Mo Wenying, who hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time, suddenly returned with her three daughters.
The Mo family didn't know why she had suddenly returned, but they still happily entertained them.
Mo Wenying's three daughters all looked rather thin and frail. They didn't dare to ask anyone anything and hid behind Mo Wenying, clutching her clothes with both hands.
Qin went over to hug and cuddle the child, but the child suddenly burst into tears and tried to hide behind Mo Wenying. Qin was at a loss for what to do.
Mo Wenying squatted down, hugged the child, and comforted her until the child stopped crying. Then she said to Qin Shi, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, the child is a little shy. He'll be fine in a bit."
Qin could only smile and say, "It's alright, then let's play together with Qiu Shuang and the others. Children get along better with each other more easily."
Su Nanxi noticed that Mo Wenying looked more haggard and thinner than last time. Thinking of her mother-in-law, she guessed that Mo Wenying didn't have much status at home and that she never got to eat the good food.
Without making a sound, he went back into the house, and when he came out, he was carrying a small basket. He placed it in Qin's hands and nodded his head in Mo Wenying's direction. Qin instantly understood.
Qin called out to one side, "Winter Plum, Autumn Frost, Jia Rong!"
The three little girls heard this and ran over together, asking what was wrong.
Qin shook the basket in her hand. "Three little sisters have come to our house. You can share some candy and cookies with them and play with them. Don't bully them!"
The three little girls craned their necks to look into the basket, and replied, "Okay! We won't bully the little sister!"
Mo Jiarong took the basket and walked with Dongmei and Qiushuang toward the child behind Mo Wenying.
Seeing so many candies and cookies, Mo Wenying instinctively reached out to stop them, saying, "No need! This is too extravagant! These things are too precious!"
Zhao ignored her, walked over, picked up the candies and cookies from the basket, unwrapped one in front of the children, stuffed it into her mouth, and slowly chewed while saying with satisfaction, "Mmm! So sweet! So fragrant! So delicious!"
The three children heard this and peeked out, just in time to see Zhao grab a handful and say to the three Mo sisters, "Would you like to try some?"
The three sisters shouted in unison, "Yes!"
So the three sisters took one from Zhao's hand and started eating it, imitating Zhao's manner, smacking their lips and exclaiming how delicious it was.
Seeing that the children had almost finished eating, Zhao gently nudged Mo Jiarong. Mo Jiarong immediately understood, and holding the basket, she smiled and said to the children next to Mo Wenying, "We've eaten, it's very delicious, would you like to try some too?"
The three children hesitated for a while, looked at each other, and finally the eldest sister reached out and took one, and the other two children followed suit.
Mo Dongmei said happily, "Let's go play over there!"
Mo Qiushuang chimed in, "Yes! There are fun things over there!"
The three children all looked at Mo Wenying, and after receiving her encouragement, they went to play together.
Before long, the children had become familiar with each other, were no longer shy, and laughed loudly!
Sigh! Kids are so easily satisfied. Su Nanxi had no idea what they were playing under the eaves, but they seemed to be having a lot of fun!
Mo Wenying didn't leave, watching the child with concern. Seeing the child having fun, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little melancholy again as she thought of something.
Zhao pulled her along, saying, "Come on, the kids are having so much fun they won't even remember their old mother! Don't get in their way! Come sit here for a bit, you must be thirsty after walking so far, have some water and rest for a while. Your parents have gone out, they should be back soon."
Mo Wenying hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked Zhao, "Do you have a lot of candy and cookies at home?"
Zhao took the kettle and poured tea for Mo Wenying. "Not much, I don't know either. It was all bought by the mute woman. She would share it with the children from time to time. We adults would occasionally eat a few pieces, but we really don't know how much there was. We never ask the mute woman about it."
Mo Wenying said "Oh," took the water glass, took a sip, remained silent for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Does the mute mother manage the family's money? She's too young, you all need to teach her more."
Zhao looked at Mo Wenying and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's alright, the mute girl knows what she's doing! Mother is still in charge of the household, and the mute girl's money is her own; she can spend it however she wants!"
Hearing this, Mo Wenying was shocked. She had thought her mother had only said that to save face for her daughter-in-law, but it turned out to be true! This mute woman's status in the family was exceptionally high!
She's been married into the Chen family for ten years, and she's never had a chance to hide any money on her! Forget about spending it freely, she has to ask for a long time before she can get even a single copper coin, and she'll always get a lecture for it!
Thinking about all this, Mo Wenying felt very sad. She couldn't help but look at the children playing on the side. The difference between her child and other children was obvious. Her child was too small!
Mo Wenying felt extremely distressed, twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands.
The Mo family's children used to be very thin and weak, but when she stopped visiting for a while, they had grown plump and taller!
Could it be that their family has become wealthy?
She was skeptical when she heard that her family had made money in business. They had never run a business before, so she wondered if they had been scammed.
When I came back today, it seemed like nothing had changed. The house was still so dilapidated, but it also seemed to have changed. The Mo family's children were healthy and lively, and they could eat candy and cookies that they never dared to dream of from time to time!
Zhao told her to have some tea and rest before going off to do her work, leaving Mo Wenying feeling sad all the while.
Not long after, the Mo couple returned, all smiles. When they saw their daughter, they were stunned and didn't come to their senses for a long time. How could they see Yingjie in broad daylight?
If Su Nanxi heard this, she'd probably burst out laughing. Could she possibly see it tonight?
You can indeed see it, but only in a dream!
Finally, Mo Wenying broke the silence, "Father, Mother, you're back? I've brought my three daughters back."
"Oh, oh!" The Mo couple finally came to their senses. Old Mrs. Mo asked, "Where's the child?"
Mo Wenying pointed and said, "They're playing over there!"
The Mo couple looked over together and saw the children shouting and laughing happily, and their faces couldn't help but be filled with smiles as well.
Old Mo said, "It's rare for me to come back, so let me stay a few more days before going back!"
After saying that, he walked over to the children.
Before long, everyone saw an old man playing happily with a bunch of little kids, and couldn't help but laugh.
When she saw the table full of dishes at lunchtime, Mo Wenying was so stunned that her jaw dropped.
Is she sure she didn't go to the wrong house?
She really wasn't dreaming?
"Mother, this is too much money!"
