Grandma Mo's expression was calm and meaningful. "It's time to go back."
Turning to Su Nanxi, he said, "Mute, let's pack our things; we'll be going back soon."
Su Nanxi nodded, and Mo Qinghe came over to help, "Wife, let me help you."
My husband is so eager, how can I discourage him!
Let's give him a chance to perform well. Anyway, there's nothing to clean up, it's not tiring.
Grandma Mo, sitting to the side, saw everything clearly and felt much relieved. This daughter-in-law was good, and her third son liked her too. It seemed that God had specially sent her to her. Otherwise, how could she explain that she only saw the mute mother in the end?
Mo Yunmei wasn't paying attention to what was happening here. All she could think about was getting back quickly so she could find Jin Hua and ask her to help settle things as soon as possible!
She gradually accepted the reality that she was not a member of the Mo family. She also felt that she didn't look like a member of the Mo family at all, so she had to plan for her future. While she was still in the Mo family, she still had some freedom of choice. If she returned to her real family, she probably wouldn't have a choice anymore.
Mo Yunmei herself didn't have much to pack, so she just threw everything into a cloth bag.
The waiting time felt like an eternity, and seeing Su Nanxi slowly putting away her food, Mo Yunmei got angry. Was she a snail reincarnated? Why was she taking so long?
She held back for a while, but finally couldn't take it anymore. However, afraid of offending Su Nanxi, she lowered her voice and urged, "Hurry up! We didn't bring anything with us here. We can just throw it all in and take it back to sort it out later!"
No one paid her any attention, and she continued tidying up slowly as usual.
Mo Yunmei was able to hold back this time. She knew that saying anything was useless, and since it wouldn't make a difference in a little while, she decided to wait and see. Could she really spend another whole day cleaning up?
After finally finishing packing, the four of them checked out of the room and came out.
"Mother, I'm so tired, let's take the oxcart back!"
Mo Yunmei didn't want to walk back, so when she got to the roadside she saw an oxcart and said to Old Lady Mo.
This place is usually where oxcarts are parked, just like a modern parking lot.
Grandma Mo looked at the end of the road, thought for a while, and said, "I'm so tired too, let's rest here for a while!"
Mo Yunmei thought that Grandma Mo had agreed to take the oxcart back. "No need to rest, we can rest in the oxcart too, right? Let's hurry back! It'll be too sunny later!"
Grandma Mo ignored it and walked to the side, finding a relatively clean and shady spot to sit down.
Mo Qinghe and Su Nanxi naturally sat down as well.
Mo Yunmei had no choice; she had no money and couldn't even leave on her own. She followed him angrily, but didn't sit down.
She couldn't sit still, anxiously looking around, racking her brains for a solution, but she couldn't come up with anything.
After holding back for a long time, he finally told Old Lady Mo, "Mother! It's too sunny, and I don't feel well. I want to go back first. Give me fifty coins, and I'll take the oxcart back by myself!"
Su Nanxi laughed. This is a gold-rimmed oxcart! A ride here costs several tens of coins!
How could Mo Yunmei say such a thing? Does she really think everyone else is a fool?
Tsk tsk! I guess this person has always been like this, always thinking far ahead and taking into account the future.
That's right. Mo Yunmei really does speak in a habitual way. But in the past, she would ask for one or two coins, but she said she would ask for four or five coins!
Grandma Mo looked up at the other side of the road, and after a long while, a slight smile appeared on her face. Finally, she answered Mo Yunmei's question, "We'll go back with you!"
Mo Yunmei pouted and cursed inwardly, "Stingy! He won't even give you a penny!"
But going together is fine too. We can get there quickly by oxcart. Let's take care of the important matter first.
Seeing that the three old women, including Old Lady Mo, got up and walked over, Mo Yunmei followed them and got into an oxcart.
The oxcart driver asked, "Young lady, where are you going? You look unfamiliar, and I was afraid you might have gotten on the wrong oxcart, so I'm asking."
Mo Yunmei, holding the bundle, raised her chin and pointed to the three women, including Old Lady Mo, "Look! They're with them."
The driver glanced at Mo Qinghe and the other two. "They seem to be waiting for someone. Are you sure you're with them?"
Who are you waiting for?
Mo Yunmei was puzzled. Wasn't it said that they would take an oxcart back? There was only one oxcart here, so where else could they wait for it?
The oxcart driver said definitively, "They really are waiting for someone or a cart. If you're with them, you should go with them! My ox might not make it back to your side."
Mo Yunmei reluctantly got off the oxcart and walked to Old Lady Mo's side, a little resentful. "Mother! It doesn't matter where you sit! There's a very nice oxcart right behind us, why do you have to come here to wait? If it gets full, we won't have any seats and will have to wait again."
Grandma Mo ignored her, looked ahead with a smile, and walked over.
Mo Yunmei looked in that direction and saw Mo Laoda, Qin Shi, and Mo Laotou arriving in an oxcart.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group boarded the oxcart.
Su Nanxi glanced to the side without making a sound, then calmly boarded the oxcart.
Mo Yunmei was secretly pleased. This older brother was really good to her. He even drove an oxcart from so far away to pick her up. So she smiled and jumped onto the oxcart.
Old Mo, driving the oxcart, occasionally chimed in with a few words as he watched the lively conversation taking place behind him.
The group chatted happily.
Mo Yunmei wasn't in the mood for conversation; she just wanted to get back quickly. But as she walked, she realized that this wasn't the same road she had come by before.
The further we walked, the more suspicious it seemed. There weren't that many winding roads or slopes when we came, and the roadside grass wasn't that tall either!
"Mother! This isn't the right way. Are we lost?"
Mo Yunmei finally asked the question.
Grandma Mo paused for a moment, looked around, then regained her composure and said calmly, "Oh, I'm not lost. This is the right way. We'll be there soon."
Mo Yunmei didn't believe it. She felt uneasy and became more and more anxious as she walked. This was a feeling she had never had before. It was as if something bad was about to happen, and her heart was beating very fast.
As if sensing something, Mo Yunmei's mind worked up for once, and she suddenly realized that this might be the way back to her real home!
Li Haisheng had contacted her before and told her some simple information, but she was too shocked at the time to remember it. Now that she thinks about it, it seems like this is the way home!
Mo Yunmei was stunned and frozen in place, forgetting even to react with an expression.
So, you really are taking her home?
Her older brother didn't come to pick her up; he came to take her home!
Were all these people taking her home?
She was sent back without taking anything with her?
We should at least prepare some gifts for her when we meet! If she doesn't bring something when she meets her real family, how can we build a closer relationship?
Also, she's getting married, so we should prepare some dowry for her. After all, she's lived in the Mo family for over ten years, and we have a lot of affection for her. She's practically a daughter to us, so we should give her half of her dowry!
"Mother! Where is my dowry?"
