Upon hearing Zhao's words, everyone looked at Old Lady Mo.
Grandma Mo went out for a short while, and when she came back, there was someone else with her—or rather, a child!
The child was dressed in tattered clothes, and his head was down so that his face could not be seen. Everyone guessed that his face must not be in good condition!
He was timid and hesitant, looking very afraid of people. He kept twisting the hem of his clothes, as if there were bad people in front of him who were going to bully him!
Everyone was puzzled: where did Grandma Mo dig up this disheveled child from?
They've only been out for a short while, how could they possibly find it just by going out?
"That's right," said Grandma Mo. "I saw this child huddled by the gate when I went out. He wouldn't say a word no matter what I asked him. Later, when I told him to go back, he said he had no home anymore! Sigh!"
He sighed heavily, feeling a bit heavy-hearted and quite sympathetic towards the child.
This world is tough, and it's even tougher for children!
My home is gone, my family is gone, how am I going to live?
They're still so small!
They haven't been able to shoulder everything on their own yet!
When Grandma Mo saw the scratches and bruises on the child's hands, and noticed the child's handsome face and clear eyes, she felt a pang of pity and decided to take the child in. So she brought the child in and asked for everyone's opinion.
Su Nanxi glanced over, then looked away, her lips twitching slightly.
He really got into it when she asked him to play the victim and act pitiful. He made himself look like this, which was indeed quite pathetic and almost scared her!
If you didn't know better, you'd really think they were refugees who had gone through many hardships and dangers before finally ending up here!
He really went to such lengths to hurt himself. The wounds on his body and the bruises and cuts on his hands are still bleeding; he probably just got them done!
He can only walk with a limp!
Wow! They're really going all out!
That's right, the child that Grandma Mo brought back is Xiao Wu.
However, Xiao Wu's injuries were not self-inflicted. He was slashed by someone during a fight. He intended to apply medicine afterward, but then decided to ignore it, thinking he needed to play the victim. The miserable state was already there!
Last night, he encountered a group of people outside the village. From their conversation, he learned that they wanted to investigate his master. The leader even said that they would leave no future troubles, which made him decide to take action and eliminate the group!
He dares to touch his master?
They're tired of living!
Did you ask him?
Who cares who they are! They all come, but they never leave!
But the other side had a large number of people and were skilled in martial arts, so he was accidentally cut. But it didn't matter, he slashed the man several times in the end!
He deliberately made himself look like a beggar, so that he would be miserable and pitiful enough, right?
In order to successfully enter the Mo family, he even fabricated a tragic backstory for himself!
However, the Mo family was still wary and suspicious of the strangers who suddenly appeared at their door. Could it really be such a coincidence?
As a result, Xiao Wu was subjected to a joint trial by three judges!
Fortunately, his story was plausible and didn't give anything away. His facial expressions were also spot-on. After answering the questions one by one, he passed the level!
The Mo family is willing to let him stay temporarily, but there are conditions: the Mo family does not support lazy people, and he must participate in the work!
Naturally, the Mo family wouldn't make things difficult for a child; they would just let him do what he could. As for matters concerning the core of the Mo family's finances, he would never be allowed to get involved!
One should always be wary of others!
No matter who it is, the Mo family must keep their secrets in their own hands in order to maintain the stability of the Mo family!
Xiao Wu was kept behind. Old Mrs. Mo found him a set of Mo Jiaxing's old clothes and told him to tidy himself up first.
Xiao Wu did as instructed, but after washing the clothes, he found that they were a bit too short!
Uh! Could it be that you gave him some old clothes that you didn't want anymore?
It's covered in patches, and the fabric is so rough—yes, that must be it!
Sigh! Oh well! Let's just make do for now. The master will definitely help him solve it!
"After washing it clean, it's quite a cute baby!" Grandma Mo said with a smile, thinking that her taste was pretty good. "You must be hungry, right? We've made breakfast, come and eat! It's all laid out and drying, this is yours!"
Xiao Wu looked in the direction Grandma Mo was pointing, and it seemed that he hadn't eaten anything on the table!
It smells delicious and looks very appetizing!
But wasn't the portion a little too small for him? He ate quite a lot!
Oh no! Does this mean we'll be starving from now on?
Seeing him staring intently at the breakfast and even swallowing, Grandma Mo thought he was starving. "Come and eat! Don't be shy. You can have more if you're not full. You need to eat well to have the energy to work!"
Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness! There's no rule about who can eat how much!
Don't let his small size fool you, he eats a lot. Well, he uses up a lot of energy practicing martial arts, and he's also growing, so he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't eat enough!
When the other members of the Mo family saw that he was only looking and not eating, they thought he was scared and dared not come over. They all called him over to eat, and said that if he was not used to eating with so many people, he could eat at a small table to the side!
Su Nanxi pointed to the table under the tree, "Look! There's a table over there, you can take your breakfast and eat it slowly there!"
"That's right! Let's eat first. Lunch is a long way off. We'll have to get back to work soon after we've eaten, and we won't have the energy if we don't eat!"
Everyone urged him to eat, and the master even pointed out the direction, so he wanted to eat too!
So, Xiao Wu took his breakfast to the small table and enjoyed it alone!
It really brings tears to my eyes!
How can it be so delicious!
It's just to his liking; he could eat two more servings!
I don't know what this golden-yellow stuff is, but it smells delicious and tastes really good!
These must be steamed buns. The outer skin is soft and fluffy, and the filling is delicious. One bite and you'll be so happy you'll lick your fingers clean!
Forgive him for not being good at describing!
But it's really delicious!
He made the right choice. If he hadn't stayed, he wouldn't have been able to eat such delicious food!
Following Boss Xiao, a rough and tough guy, let alone good food, it's already a miracle if he can even cook something properly!
Xiao Wu secretly vowed that he must find a way to stay in the Mo family forever. Wherever his master was, he would be there too, and he would protect his master's safety!
He would never admit that he wanted to stay and eat something delicious!
Can I say that?
Absolutely not!
Xiao Wu ate very quickly, perhaps he was used to it, but Grandma Mo could tell from his eyes that the child was starving, and that he was eating as if he had been stuffed into his stomach!
I wonder how long they've been starving, poor thing!
That breakfast was clearly not enough for him, so let's get him something else. The rice noodles and shumai are quite delicious!
"Thank you!" Xiao Wu stammered, still with a bun in his mouth.
"No need to thank me! Although our Mo family is not a wealthy family, we will never let the child go hungry. Eat up!" Old Mrs. Mo looked at Xiao Wu with kind eyes.
Xiao Wu was instantly moved; this old lady was such a kind person!
No! It should be that everyone in the master's family is doing well!
Uh, the master's husband seems difficult to get along with; he's quite cold!
But I didn't make things difficult for him; it was all settled!
"Good morning, everyone! We're up! Huh? Who's this? My distant cousin?"
