Mo Qiushuang ran over and happened to hear one of those words.
Mo Qinghe said in a serious tone, "I was telling a story. It was about a poisonous snake that wanted to bite people, but its teeth were pulled out."
Mo Qiushuang believed it and said angrily, "I'm going to pull out its teeth and make it do bad things!"
Su Nanxi curled her lip, "You're trying to fool a child!"
Mo Qinghe raised an eyebrow at her. "You're lying so openly!"
Qin and Mo took their child back to Qin's parents' home, so they had a simple lunch.
Mo Yunmei got smarter and took some wild vegetables from home as samples to dig in the mountains. It was almost noon when she finally returned with almost a full basket. Seeing that it was time to eat, she quickly put down the basket and went to wash her hands.
Grandma Mo checked it over and saw that there was improvement, so she didn't say anything.
Mo Yunmei was finally able to eat a bowl of rice. Although there wasn't much food, she was glad to have something to eat. She didn't dare to complain, afraid that she would have to cook for herself later.
She quickly finished her meal, but seeing that others were still eating, she couldn't sit still and left the main room.
Seeing something interesting under the crabapple tree from afar, I couldn't resist my curiosity and ran over to take a look.
Upon seeing this, I was overjoyed!
He went up to look and touch it, and finally climbed inside, lay down, and even swayed his body a little.
Mo Yunmei liked it more and more as she lay there; it was so comfortable and so enjoyable! She was reluctant to get up for a long time.
She remembered that the village chief's house had a chair like that, though it was very old; they called it a recliner. Very few families in the whole village owned one, but hers was something she could brag about for months!
"Mom! I want this chair! It's so comfortable, I love it! I want to move it into my room and lie on it every day!"
When Mo Yunmei saw Old Lady Mo come over after finishing her meal, she started shouting.
Grandma Mo said bluntly, "Go wash your dishes. Do you expect someone else to wash them for you? You want everything you like. I'm so envious of gold and silver treasures, I want them all. Get them to me right now!"
Mo Yunmei was lying comfortably and didn't want to get up at all. She said nonchalantly, "It's just a bowl. They can just wash it for me. It won't take much effort. If Mother wants gold and silver jewelry, I'll give it to you later."
Grandma Mo scoffed and poked Mo Yunmei with her cane. "Get up! This recliner was bought by the mute woman. It's not your place to decide what to do with it. If you want one, go buy it yourself!"
Mo Yunmei, stung by the poking, quickly stood up and retorted, "Why can she have money and buy whatever she wants? I want money too! Mother, give me a few taels of silver, and I'll buy what I like someday! I'll definitely buy something even prettier! Mother! Why did you hit me? Huh!"
Mo Yunmei was still making grand pronouncements when Old Lady Mo picked up a broom and started hitting her on the head. She immediately covered her head, screaming and trying to dodge.
Grandma Mo was furious. Words were no longer effective, so she simply started hitting him!
The broom is shaped like a small tree, big and bushy. It doesn't hurt when you hit it, but it can be quite uncomfortable.
Grandma Mo seemed genuinely angry; she didn't let Mo Yunmei off the hook and chased her all over the yard.
Mo Yunmei covered her head and hid everywhere. Her screams were so shrill that even the chickens and ducks started squawking. Even the piglets in the corner found it amusing and looked up to squawk a few times. It really was a chaotic scene.
The others watched the two chasing each other with great interest. They probably had never seen such a scene before and found it particularly novel and interesting, cheering them on as they watched.
Finally, Grandma Mo got tired and stopped chasing, and Mo Yunmei also stopped running.
Zhao asked Mo Dongmei to bring a bowl of water to Grandma Mo. Mo Dongmei thoughtfully pulled Grandma Mo to sit on a stool and gently helped her catch her breath, saying, "Grandma, drink slowly! Don't choke!"
Grandma Mo was very pleased that her children and grandchildren were so well-behaved and sensible. She was no longer angry; it wasn't worth getting upset over this person! She wanted to enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren.
Mo Yunmei was out of breath and it took her a long time to catch her breath. When she saw that someone was bringing water to Old Lady Mo, she called out to Mo Dongcheng, "Go, bring Auntie a bowl of water. Auntie is dying of thirst!"
Mo Dongcheng glanced at it but didn't move. "Does my aunt not have hands or feet? I'm unsteady on my feet. If I break a bowl, who's responsible?"
Without even thinking, Mo Yunmei said, "It's definitely on your tab! You fell down yourself!"
Mo Dongcheng said angrily, "Then you carry it yourself!"
After saying that, he ran off and disappeared in an instant.
Mo Yunmei cursed inwardly, "You little brat, running so fast, yet you can't even walk steadily! Aren't you afraid of falling to your death!"
Mo Qinghe told Old Man Mo that there was news in town that they wanted to buy rice noodles, and asked him to tell the villagers through the village chief.
Old Man Mo immediately went to find Village Chief Liu.
Village Chief Liu was overjoyed because his daughters-in-law practiced making rice noodles every day and had already made them quite well. If someone really came to buy them, their family could be among the first to sell and make money.
When the sun wasn't so strong in the afternoon, we gathered again under the old tree.
Village Chief Liu cut to the chase, saying, "I heard someone from town is coming to buy rice noodles, and the price isn't low. Anyone in your family who wants to make rice noodles to sell for money should hurry up and practice. Don't wait until they actually come to buy them before you start practicing; by then, they'll be taking the money! You'll have to put in the effort; they won't accept anything too bad. Even if they don't come to buy them, we can still eat them regularly, and they're great for giving as gifts during holidays, aren't they? Okay, everyone, please let each other know. Some families aren't coming. Dismissed!"
There was a lively discussion under the old tree, with some people believing it and others not.
When Qin returned and heard this, she was very happy. Besides making breakfast, they could also make rice noodles when they had time! It wouldn't conflict at all.
Suddenly remembering something, he found Old Lady Mo and said, "Mother, my fifth brother also wants to learn how to make rice noodles. Do you think we could let him come and learn?"
Grandma Mo thought it was something serious. "Oh! What's wrong with that? Since the mute woman said she'd teach everyone in the village, then anyone can learn. Even Cao San Niang's niece-in-law came to learn, so why can't your fifth brother? It's alright. Wanting to learn shows he's ambitious. Just let him come and learn when he has time."
When Grandma Mo turned to Zhao, she said to her, "If anyone in your family wants to learn, they can come and learn too. Once they learn, they can earn some money and make life a little easier."
Zhao nodded, her mouth practically agape with joy.
“However,” Old Mrs. Mo paused, then said seriously, “if your family members come to learn, you can’t ask the mute mother to teach you personally. You should teach your own people. If you upset the mute mother, you can’t teach her at home.”
The two nodded and said they understood.
The mute woman doesn't get angry easily, but when she does, probably only her third brother can appease her. Besides, she's not one to fight or compete, and she doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. They can manage their own people.
A trend of making rice noodles has swept through the village, and many people are preparing to practice making them after returning home.
"Mom! Tomorrow when you make rice noodles, put in extra rice. I want to learn how to make rice noodles too!"
