Everyone was taken aback. What? They were being too polite?
They were just going up the mountain to gather firewood and dig for wild vegetables, why are you being so polite?
Grandma Mo said calmly, "This is how we always are. Everyone has to work, and everyone has to go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables and pick mushrooms. Even my youngest grandson does it. There's no need to be polite!"
Luo was all smiles. Her mouth was already big, but when she smiled, it looked even bigger, which made her even less attractive. All that was left of her face was her mouth.
Luo wanted to say something more, but Old Lady Mo wasn't in the mood to listen. She went straight to the sheepfold, waved her hand, and said, "Alright! Go and rest for a while. Look how happy you are, all sweaty and you don't even wipe your brows! Once you've rested enough, go do what you're supposed to do!"
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to wash their hands and faces, and then drank water.
The children took out some fruit, washed it, sorted it, and put it in a basket for the adults to eat. The adults had a lot to do, but since the children had brought fruit, they ate the fruit first and then got back to their work later.
Since the Mo family isn't involved in the rice noodle workshop, they don't plan to make or sell rice noodles anymore, but making them for their own consumption is fine. They plan to make them for another two or three days and then stop, which will give them a chance to teach the three people how to make them.
They'll be busy with house-related matters soon, so they probably won't have much free time.
The Luo and Liu families also took some fruit to eat and found it delicious. They then had the idea of secretly slipping a handful into their pockets to take home.
Because they rarely get to eat fruit, and it's so delicious, sweet and sour when ripe, it's so appetizing. The kids at home must be craving it too, so they can take some home and have a taste.
Qin Youming was a little shy and took one to eat slowly with an embarrassed look on his face. After eating it, he had only one thought: it was so delicious. He would go to the mountains to pick some in the future!
Su Nanxi sat on a wooden bench under a tree eating fruit, as was her habit. Mo Qinghe sat beside her, and the two of them ate with great relish.
I'm used to eating fruit every day, and if I don't eat it for a day, I feel like something's not right!
Yes, eating fruit is a pleasure!
Just as they were enjoying their meal, Mo Yunmei came running back. Perhaps she knew where Su Nanxi usually liked to sit, because she ran straight to the tree and started talking to Su Nanxi as soon as she saw her.
"Sister Qiuxia is free now, and you're idle since you're back, why don't you go teach her? Sister Qiuxia is very smart, she'll learn quickly, it won't take long! Hey! Stop eating, hurry up and go!"
Seeing that Su Nanxi was still leisurely eating fruit, Mo Yunmei became anxious and went forward to reach out and pull Su Nanxi away.
Su Nanxi did hear it; on the contrary, she heard it very clearly. But just because she heard it doesn't mean she has to agree.
I just don't want to deal with idiots; they're a waste of my good mood!
But her brain really doesn't work properly, and she's blind too. She can't see that others don't want to talk to her, but she always thinks that others will definitely agree to her. What reason would they have not to agree?
Luo was a little angry when she saw this. She had previously asked Zhao to teach the mute woman how to make rice noodles, but Zhao refused, saying that the mute woman wouldn't teach! Look, she can teach now!
It's all that sister-in-law's fault for being so heartless. She didn't even ask, how did she know the other person wasn't willing!
That Chen Xia, you can tell from her name that she's not from the same family, just a villager, but people are willing to teach her! They're related, so they'll definitely teach her too!
snort!
The more Luo thought about it, the angrier she became. If she had asked more questions back then, she would definitely have agreed. This sister-in-law really doesn't side with her own family!
Just as Mo Yunmei reached out to grab Su Nanxi's arm, Su Nanxi turned her head and glanced at her sideways, even blinking slightly. Mo Yunmei's hand immediately stopped, and she dared not reach out any further.
It's no wonder Mo Yunmei was intimidated; Su Nanxi's gaze was simply too lethal.
Her eyes were puffy from the makeup, and she usually kept them half-closed. Her eyelashes were long and thick. When she suddenly opened her eyes wide, those big, round eyes, like those of a monster in a story, emitted a sinister and eerie light. Combined with her ugly makeup, it was terrifying!
Mo Qinghe didn't find it scary at all. On the contrary, he thought his wife was very lively, playful and cute. If his wife could talk, she would definitely be a very likable girl!
Mo Yunmei was unwilling to give up and still wanted to try, but Mo Qinghe spoke softly, his face indifferent, yet his words were cold, "Don't you want your hand anymore?"
Of course!
Mo Yunmei felt a sudden panic for some reason. She subconsciously touched her hand, swallowed hard, and ultimately didn't have the courage to pull Su Nanxi away.
She took several steps back, back to what she considered a safe distance, but still refused to give up. "Anyway, you're free, so teaching her won't hurt. She really wants to learn now. Once she learns, she'll have another skill, and her position at home will be more secure."
Su Nanxi laughed. Does she have to do something just because she's free? What business is it of hers whether other people's family status is stable or not?
Her recliner incident is still ongoing!
Seeing his wife's face turn cold, Mo Qinghe was also displeased. His already aloof face became even colder. "If you care so much about others, you should go to her husband's family and help her secure her position! Also, you still owe money for the recliner! Don't buzz around until you've paid it off. I never show mercy when swatting flies!"
As soon as Mo Qinghe finished speaking, with a "smack," the bamboo stick in his hand actually hit a fly, turning it into a muddy mess.
Mo Yunmei was so frightened that she jumped back more than ten steps, clutching her chest, and dared not go any further. She slunk away.
Madam Luo was also taken aback. This outcome was truly unexpected. She had thought that the mute woman would go along to teach others, but this was the result.
It seems her sister-in-law was right; no one dares to ask this mute woman to do anything. Didn't you see that no one blames the mute woman? Even the children are coming over to comfort her!
This mute woman holds a certain position in the Mo family; she's not someone who can be easily manipulated, and she has a temper.
Qin and Zhao called the three of them over and prepared to start making rice noodles. They told them to be serious, as they would only teach them for two or three more days before stopping.
Mrs. Luo was unhappy. "Why only teach for two or three days? We haven't even learned it yet!"
Zhao didn't care whether she was happy or not. "Our Mo family is very busy and doesn't have time. That's why I told you to watch carefully, remember the process and steps, and practice more when you get used to it."
Mrs. Luo didn't want to hear such an answer. "How can that be? The Mo family is busy, but you still have to teach us. How can we learn it in less than ten days or half a month!"
The food at the Mo family's house is so delicious, I can't go without eating it for ten days or half a month! She even wants to come and learn every day, hoping she can never learn it properly!
Liu had the same thought and chimed in, "Yes, we're clumsy, we definitely won't be able to learn it in a few days!"
Zhao was annoyed by her two sisters-in-law. She could tell what they were up to just by looking at their expressions, which was extremely irritating. She spoke irritably, "Why can't it be done?"
"We're not smart, let's study for another ten days!"
