Su Nanxi finally saw these people off, and she couldn't have felt more relieved!
As these people were leaving, she made a point of saying, "We're just ordinary relatives, so please don't bother us unless it's absolutely necessary! The Mo family is very busy and doesn't have time to entertain them! Besides, we can't afford to entertain them; it's too expensive, too much effort, and too much time!"
That's very clear; anyone with a brain can understand what it means.
Grandma Mo also said, "We really can't afford to entertain you, so please don't come too often. We can visit you when we have time."
The villagers echoed his sentiments.
After Su Nanxi finished speaking, she didn't stay long before turning around and going back.
What's the point of looking at it? There's no reluctance to part with it. Looking at it only makes me angry. I might as well go home and rest!
When I got home, I quickly cooked some vegetables and ate. I was so hungry that I didn't feel like making any dishes.
After finishing her meal, Su Nanxi asked Old Madam Mo, "Mother, was what I did right? After all, they are your family members. It seems a bit excessive!"
She knew that most people had strong feelings for their maternal family and could never sever those feelings, even if they said they didn't care. But deep down, they probably longed for it!
A married woman's family is her source of strength, and there are many emotions involved. In many cases, a married woman still sides with her own family!
Many married women often provide financial support to their natal families and help their brothers; this is evident from their actions!
After calming down, Su Nanxi still felt that she had gone too far. She should have talked to Grandma Mo beforehand. If Grandma Mo had any grudges, it would be troublesome later!
No matter how bad those people are, it doesn't change the fact that they are Old Lady Mo's family. They still have a title and still hold some status!
That was too hasty!
well!
Su Nanxi was extremely worried, but Old Madam Mo waved her hand dismissively and said magnanimously, "Hey! What are you saying! You don't need to feel guilty, I should be thanking you! Don't I know my family well? Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time, but I couldn't go too far because of my status! Now that you're playing the bad guy, I feel guilty! Su Su, don't think about those things, I don't blame you at all, you did a great job! If those people succeed this time, the consequences will be endless, they have no shame, they won't think they've done anything wrong!"
Old Mo nodded, "Yes! They've always been like this, just not this extreme. I guess no one could control them, so they became more and more unrestrained, and then it got to this point! Sigh! If only someone had kept them in check, they wouldn't have gone this far!"
Mo Qinghe couldn't bear to see his wife upset, so he spoke up, "Wife, you don't need to feel guilty or sad. Those people deserved it! Even if we didn't drive them away, someone else would have. We just managed to get the first spot! We can't be merciful to these people. They never intended to be merciful to us; they just wanted to leech off us! They even use their own children. What conscience do they have? Don't be polite to people without conscience!"
Old Xu stayed inside the house the whole time. He didn't want to get involved in the Mo family's affairs; in fact, he didn't want to deal with these people. They were so ugly and not worth his time.
But he knew perfectly well what was happening outside. Seeing Su Nanxi's remorse, he added, "Hmph! It's a good thing you weren't merciful, otherwise their scheme would have succeeded! They came empty-handed, and even brought their own elder brother with them. These people were never good; they had very obvious motives! They only thought of themselves and didn't consider anyone else's feelings! If the child hadn't climbed up to steal meat and fallen, they probably would have had other schemes! They certainly wouldn't have left easily!"
The Mo couple thought the child had accidentally knocked over the table. They reflected on it for a long time and thought that it might be because they hadn't held the table steady, which caused the child to run around and bump into it, causing it to fall over!
They were upset about this for a long time, feeling they should have checked it again to prevent the incident from happening.
When they heard Old Xu say that the table tipped over because the child climbed onto it to steal food, they were incredulous!
They knew that Old Man Xu wouldn't say things casually, so it must be that Old Man Xu saw it!
Looking back now, it seems that it really might be true!
Their parents were sitting right next to the table!
The table was right outside the kitchen. Since those people weren't helping, why did they go there to sit? Apparently, there weren't any chairs at that table, so they must have brought their own chairs to sit there on purpose!
The yard is so big, it's cool under the trees, and there are plenty of snacks on the small table. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sit there? Why bother coming to this smoky kitchen?
The answer is obvious!
The two children must have smelled the aroma and wanted to eat the meat. They insisted on having it, and there was no room for negotiation. Their parents, who spoil them, probably thought that since it was bought for them anyway, it didn't matter if they ate it early or late, so they let the children climb onto the table to grab and eat it.
Those people just stood by and watched, probably to encourage the child. If they were discovered, they would say a few words for the child; if they weren't discovered, they would act as sentries and keep watch.
The Mo family members were all busy and had previously been told not to come near this area, so they didn't notice what was happening here.
"That table was pretty sturdy. Those two brats climbed up there, both facing the same direction. They started playing around while eating, and it looked like they were fighting over it. As a result, they lost their balance and the table and they all tipped over!"
Old Xu added a few more words, saying that he thought everyone knew, but it turned out they didn't!
Was he the only one who happened to see it?
Fu Mingchuan, who was standing next to him, chimed in, "I saw it too, it's true. I thought you all knew, so I didn't say anything. If I had known you didn't, I would have said it in public and seen how embarrassed they would be!"
Hearing this, the Mo couple remained silent for a while, then sighed, their feelings quite complicated.
"Susu, did you hear that? I don't want to have anything to do with these people, so you don't need to feel guilty! I've always tolerated your actions, otherwise I would have spoken up too! If they dare to have those kinds of thoughts, we dare to treat them like this!"
Grandma Mo said to Su Nanxi very seriously.
Su Nanxi nodded, relieved that Grandma Mo didn't seem to mind!
"Do whatever you want, we'll all support you! Don't overthink it, you're definitely doing it for our own good!" Old Mo chimed in, offering his supportive words.
Fu Mingchuan said quietly, "If it were me, I would have kicked them out the door!"
Old Xu rolled his eyes at him. "Young man, don't be so violent!"
Fu Mingchuan snorted, "Many people die because they talk too much nonsense!"
Old Xu glared at him!
Su Nanxi pursed her lips speechlessly.
"Tell me, am I wrong?"
