Mo Yunmei called out several times, but no one answered.
Hearing the laughter still going on outside, she thought she had spoken too softly and that it was too noisy outside to hear her, so she shouted again with all her might.
This time, the sounds outside must have been heard, because they all stopped instantly. Just as Mo Yunmei was secretly pleased, the laughter outside resumed, as if the pause had been an illusion.
Mo Yunmei was stunned and shouted several more times, but the noise outside never stopped.
Finally, she panicked and started banging on the door, trying to get attention.
That really caught my attention!
The door wasn't very sturdy to begin with, and it had been repaired several times. With just one impact, it flew off, sending the person flying with it.
Mo Yunmei only wanted to attract attention; she didn't want to fall. The fall, due to inertia, sent her rolling several meters. Because she was fully restrained, she couldn't reach out to cushion the fall or protect her head and face.
And so, Mo Yunmei appeared in everyone's sight with a bruised and swollen face, looking very glamorous.
Everyone's attention was indeed focused on her, watching her with great interest, but no one went over to help her.
I want to eat chicken, and I also want to watch a show!
Mo Dongcheng, in a childish voice, shook his head like an old man and sighed, "Oh no! The door needs fixing again!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh after hearing that.
Hearing the laughter, Mo Yunmei laughed along, thinking that everyone was happy to see her and no longer angry with her. Emboldened, she moved slightly and called out to Old Lady Mo, "Mother! I can't move, please help me untie! Hey, Mother, that meat you're eating looks delicious, save me a few pieces, I'm starving!"
Everyone who had been laughing turned around upon hearing this, stopped joking, and started eating faster.
When Mo Laomei saw her mother put down what she was holding and tear off a piece of meat, she thought it was for her and happily exclaimed, "Hey, Mom, here, here, I'm here! Untie me first before you take the meat! Hey, Mom, why are you eating my meat?"
Grandma Mo ignored her and focused on eating.
After finishing eating and cleaning up, everyone went to wash their hands.
Su Nanxi grabbed two handfuls of wood ash and rubbed them back and forth. After rinsing off the wood ash, she still felt a bit greasy, which gave her another idea: to make soap!
Hmm! I'll find a book later to see how to make it. Not only will it provide an extra source of income for the family, but it will also make my daily life more convenient!
Mo Qinghe had no idea that his wife's simple act of washing her hands would improve their family's quality of life.
When others saw Su Nanxi doing this, they all followed suit and started rubbing wood ash together.
Su Nanxi even used wood ash to rub Mo Qinghe, then rinsed it off, and then rinsed it again with water.
Seeing his wife so carefully washing his hands, Mo Qinghe felt a warmth in his heart.
Even the wood ash feels its value has increased; it finally has a new use.
Mo Yunmei was dumbfounded. She was still lying on the ground, so how come all these people were playing with wood ash? The world was becoming a bit surreal!
But no one answered her questions; after washing their hands, they went about their own business.
Everyone knew exactly what they were supposed to do, and they acted on their own initiative without being told what to do.
The Qin and Zhao families wanted to come back early so they could have more time to practice making rice noodles.
Hearing that someone was actually coming to buy their products, they became even more enthusiastic, secretly vowing to do their best so that they could gain the merchant's approval and make money.
Grandma Mo said to Su Nanxi, "Mute, you should rest first and let them practice slowly. You can't do it for them, can you? If they really don't understand, just go and take a look and give them some pointers."
Upon hearing this, Zhao immediately chimed in, "Mother is right. Skills must be learned by oneself; no one can do it for you. Mute Mother, you don't need to do anything. Rest under the tree, and we'll figure it out slowly."
Madam Qin came over and said, "Yes, the children are all capable of helping out now, so we should make better use of them. If we don't understand something, we'll ask you for guidance."
The children immediately declared that they might do it!
Su Nanxi knew that these people were expressing their opinions, so she let them be. She went to rest under the tree and watched her husband weave bamboo strips.
Everyone got to work in an orderly fashion.
Mo Yunmei was lying in a spot directly in the sun, and it got very hot after a while. So she started yelling, but no one came to help, and then she burst into tears.
She cried for a long time, but no one came. She had to tiptoe and move little by little to the shade. After a long time, she was finally out of the sun, but she was exhausted and smelled of sweat.
She still didn't understand what she had done wrong. Everyone seemed happy, so why were they all ignoring her?
At noon, Su Nanxi picked a handful of fresh greens from the small vegetable garden in the corner of the house, fried two eggs for each person, added some dried pork jerky, and made a bowl of noodles, which was lunch.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and even drank every last drop of the soup.
Old Mrs. Mo untied the ropes binding Mo Yunmei, lashed her palms five times, and then said sternly, "If you don't want to be a member of the Mo family, I'll help you change your surname and name and join another ancestral hall! If you still want to stay in this family, pick your brain back! If you dare to try to stuff things out of the house again, you can just get out and don't come back! The Mo family doesn't accept traitors!"
After Mo Yunmei was untied, she thought her mother had forgiven her and was about to feel smug. But the next moment, her hand was grabbed and slapped, and she immediately screamed in pain and cried loudly.
After hearing her mother's words, she looked up and realized her mother wasn't joking. She started to panic. In her heart, no matter what she had done, she was still a member of the Mo family, and the Mo family would not drive her away.
But reality tells her that she could be kicked out of her home at any time. Could she survive?
Mo Yunmei often loses her mind, but she knows very well that she needs her family to rely on in order to do what she wants. If she weren't a member of the Mo family, who would protect her?
no!
So, ignoring the pain in her hand, Mo Yunmei, tears streaming down her face, kept promising, "No, no, I promise I'll stay put and won't give anything away! I'll be good, I'll be good! I don't want to change my surname! Waaah~~"
Grandma Mo seemed a little skeptical, but still said seriously, "Remember what you said today. If you do it again, you'll have to deal with it yourself!"
Mo Yunmei nodded in agreement, her eyes brimming with tears, "Mmm-hmm!"
Just when she thought the matter was over, Boss Mo spoke up from the side.
"Don't think things have just passed so easily! You dare to give away things that aren't yours? Who gave you that right? Are you under some kind of spell or have you lost your mind to keep taking things from your home and giving them away? Today, you have to give the mute girl an explanation! You always brush it off so easily, you're really pushing your luck! Next time, are you going to sell the house too?!"
Boss Mo was really angry. His eyes were blazing, his face was red and veins were bulging, and he spoke in a sharp and stern voice.
Mo Yunmei was so frightened that she trembled, but still managed to say something stupid.
"Isn't there one left?"
