The Mo family is a point of interest for everyone in the village, especially after the appearance of the large umbrella; everyone is keeping a close eye on them!
Why would I want to? I just want to see the situation clearly so I can cool off when I get tired!
There isn't a single tree in this vast field. If you want to find shade and rest, you have to go up the mountain, where there are trees!
But most people's homes are not close to the mountains. Running around is not only time-consuming but also tiring. If they can cool off nearby, why run so far? They don't want to be in the sun!
Although they were working, they kept their ears open to any sounds coming from nearby!
Hearing that the Mo family allowed others to go and cool off, they couldn't help but feel happy, which meant that they could also go and cool off!
But as I listened, I got angry. How could Aunt Zhou talk like that? How did she offend the Mo family and make them all so angry?
Oh no! They won't even get a chance to cool off!
The Mo family told people not to come and freeload anymore, saying that anyone who wanted to stay cool should wear a few more straw hats, or build their own little awning!
They didn't want to be criticized after doing good deeds, so they simply stopped doing good deeds! They didn't need to shamelessly try to please others anyway!
Everyone was annoyed with Aunt Zhou. She had no sense of propriety and was always ungrateful. She brought her whole family and expected the Mo family to squeeze in. Why should they squeeze in under their big umbrella? Was the umbrella there to make things easier for the Zhou family?
They really do get more shameless as they get older!
That's ruined their chance to cool off!
The Mo family's retort left Aunt Zhou speechless and unable to refute, but none of her sons or daughters-in-law came to her rescue.
Aunt Zhou wanted to use morality to blackmail the Mo family, but the Mo family retaliated in kind, following Aunt Zhou's path and leaving her with nowhere to go!
"Don't talk back to the Mo family, so many of us are against you. If what you're saying makes sense, we won't even bother arguing with you! It's so hot, our throats are dry, we're tired, you're not! We've already said everything, there's no room for negotiation. If you want to borrow our umbrella, you'll have to pay rent, nothing else will work! Even close brothers keep clear accounts, don't give me any of that nonsense! If there's nothing else, then leave our land, we need to get to work!"
Grandma Mo was very angry this time. She said she could say whatever she wanted to her, but not her daughter-in-law!
Who cares who says it? No one can say it!
Even the old man wouldn't dare say a bad word about his daughter-in-law, yet outsiders are talking about her!
Then she wouldn't hold back!
We didn't have much of a relationship to begin with; at most, we were just fellow villagers. Why should we tolerate and indulge this kind of person?
Everyone thinks she's soft-hearted and easy to bully, right?
From this day forward, she will train herself to be hard-hearted!
She also needs to become a bit fiercer, so that she can crush the other party single-handedly during arguments and protect her daughters-in-law behind her!
Anyway, she's old enough not to care about those opinions anymore. People can say whatever they want, but what she does is her business!
She needs to have some edge to live a more comfortable life!
Aunt Zhou just wants to get what she wants with her words; asking her to pay rent or anything like that is out of the question!
"Then don't expect too much! If I hear you cursing the Mo family again, I won't be polite! Feeling wronged? Keep it to yourself!"
Gao Yuling knew that this person only wanted to take what others had; asking her to part with her money was like asking her to part with her heart!
Hmph! This kind of person is utterly despicable!
In the end, Aunt Zhou was defeated and left with her family in a sorry state.
What else can we do if we don't leave?
Why are the Mo family members so fierce and unfriendly? They're supposed to be from the village, can't they just talk things out properly so they can meet again in the future?
Want more money? No money!
Is her money so easy to take?
This setback by Aunt Zhou not only caused resentment among her family members, but also among the villagers!
The Zhou family's lack of understanding led to other villagers losing their chance as well!
The Mo family was furious, so how could they dare to go over and cool off!
The Mo family was indeed very angry, and their impression of Aunt Zhou's family plummeted even further, reaching a negative level!
Despite my anger, I still have to keep working!
Gao Yuling grumbled angrily, "What a waste of time! Otherwise, we would have finished all this long ago! Ugh!"
Su Nanxi comforted them, "Alright, alright! It's not worth getting angry with those people and ruining your health! We need to stay calm. If anyone should be angry, it should be them. Let them be angry to death!"
Gao Yuling's eyes darted around, and she smiled slyly. "That's right! We'll see them get angry! We won't get angry, we won't get angry! La la la! We're happy little birds!"
Singing and talking off-key, he happily went to work!
The others agreed that it made sense and stopped being angry. They listened to Gao Yuling's off-key singing and smiled helplessly!
When the children saw Gao Yuling start singing, it was as if the flock of sheep had found their leader; they all started singing along!
They learned a lot of nursery rhymes from Su Nanxi. Those nursery rhymes were easy to remember, easy to understand, and easy to sing. They loved to sing them!
Perhaps it's because children love to sing to express their emotions, and few can resist the charm of nursery rhymes!
Many children in the village were very envious. Their parents couldn't sing, so they couldn't sing at all. When they heard the Mo family's children sing a few lines from time to time, they admired them immensely!
When there was no busy farming season, many children would secretly listen to the Mo family children sing. Yes, they wanted to learn too!
Being able to sing is amazing! You look so cool when you sing, you even walk with a swagger!
Anyway, for a time, a craze for singing children's songs swept through the village, and it really took off!
The children sang to each other, all wanting to show off their skills to their friends. So before long, most of the children in the village could sing one or two nursery rhymes, even if they were knock-offs, the tunes sounded really authentic!
Singing when happy, singing when unhappy, as if it's a way to express emotions!
Believe it or not, even some adults can hum a few lines after hearing it so many times!
At this moment, the Mo family children sang with great enthusiasm, working and singing at the same time, without feeling tired at all!
Singing doesn't affect work speed; on the contrary, it makes you work faster!
This puzzled others. Could singing really give people more energy?
What's the logic behind this?
Should they give it a try too?
Some people even tried it out for real!
Let your own children sing too, and see if they'll get more energetic while working. And wow, it seems so!
It seems slow, with singing and doing other things, but I haven't missed a single task!
Yeah, it's really hard on your voice!
In this sweltering heat, it's easy to get thirsty; singing like this will make you drink a lot of water!
The village chief's field that was being harvested today was a bit far from the Mo family's. By the time he found out about it, people there were already singing!
He glanced at his grandchildren and figured they probably couldn't sing, so he didn't say anything.
Even if you can't sing, that's fine. Not everyone can do it. Save your saliva to moisten your throat!
It's not shameful that their family can't sing!
My throat is so hot it's practically burning; if I keep yelling, it'll hurt!
Let's get to work!
The important thing is to finish this work and go back quickly; we can't compare ourselves to the Mo family!
"Huh?! Who was singing just now? Was it you guys?"
