Luo's mind couldn't come up with a solution.
Liu, who was hiding to the side, cursed Luo in her heart. "She's so brainless! She's being insulted and doesn't even realize it!"
It's really impossible to expect her to bring any benefits to the Zhao family!
However, Liu dared not stand in front of others and argue loudly with the Mo family, trying her best to fight for her own interests. She was most used to encouraging Luo to take the lead and let Luo take the lead, while she would play the good guy in the end. In any case, she would say both good and bad things.
Seeing that the Luo family was about to fail again, Liu was extremely anxious. If she couldn't get the Mo family to agree to come up with a plan this time, she probably wouldn't be able to in the future!
But Liu really didn't have the courage to face the scrutinizing gazes and subsequent verbal attacks from so many members of the Mo family.
Although only Old Madam Mo spoke up, the entire Mo family was there to support her. The silence of the others did not mean they would not retaliate; they were mostly just being polite and did not want to bully the weak with numbers.
If the entire Mo family were to speak, Luo would not have a chance to say a word, let alone explain or defend herself!
Unfortunately, Luo couldn't understand and thought that the Mo family wouldn't dare to do anything to her, and that only an old woman came out to argue with her!
Don't underestimate this old woman. After all, she's lived for several decades. She hasn't lived in vain. She may not have seen the big world, but she has seen the hustle and bustle of the small world.
So, when Old Mrs. Mo started scolding Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Luo didn't even realize it and thought Old Mrs. Mo was out of her mind for scolding herself!
Grandma Mo naturally understood what Luo was thinking. "It's not very interesting. Shameless people never realize they're shameless, so they find it quite amusing. I have to join in with a few curses, otherwise it'll be pointless."
Luo was even more confused. What did that mean? What exactly did it mean?
She belatedly realized that it seemed like Old Lady Mo was scolding her!
Her face flushed red, and she pointed at Old Lady Mo, "How could you swear at someone?"
Mo Wenying had been watching and listening the whole time. When her mother made a move, she didn't say a word, but when she saw her mother being pointed at and talked about, she became very unhappy and said she didn't want that hand anymore!
"When did my mother ever swear? Why don't you talk about swearing yourself! I don't know where you get the courage and shamelessness to ask others to do things as if it's your right, but when we ask you to help us, you get so agitated and unwilling! Do you think you're the only one who can talk?
You're an elder, and I don't want to argue with you, but you just need to be taught a lesson! Why should the Mo family help you come up with business ideas? Don't even mention relatives! The Mo family has at least twenty or fifty relatives, if they were all like you, how would the Mo family survive!
"It's a favor if someone helps you, it's their right not to! Who owes you anything? And you still think you're right? Why am I an exception? It's because the Mo family is my maternal family. Isn't it reasonable for my mother to help her daughter? Only one's own parents and children would give unconditionally! Even relatives have different degrees of closeness. You're just a sister-in-law from my maternal family, what right do you have to make demands!"
Mo Wenying was also angry, and she went on and on, showing no mercy to the Luo family. Although it was unpleasant to hear, it was indeed reasonable.
Luo understood after hearing this, and felt a little embarrassed and flustered. She had been too hasty and hadn't expected it to be so profound.
But she was still unwilling to give up, muttering to herself, "Our Zhao family is quite close too! How can we compare to others?"
Seeing that Mo Wenying had started, Qin Shi also spoke up, "The Zhao family is related, but there's no reason to force others to do things for you! Our Mo family has helped you before, it's just that you didn't know how to seize the opportunity!"
Luo disagreed, blurting out, "When did we ever pull each other apart?"
Qin's face also turned cold. It's true that important people have bad memories!
"When your mute mother taught you how to cook rice, did you learn it seriously? My fifth brother also learned with you. He's a boy, so he's not as dexterous, but he's very hardworking and can endure hardship. He would even try to figure it out on his own in his spare time. He mastered it all and made very good rice noodles. The buyers especially liked his rice noodles, and he made a lot of money! What about you, you came at the same time, have you learned it?"
Mo Wenying chimed in, "Exactly! How dare you say the Mo family doesn't help you! We gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it! If you worked as hard as others, you would have learned how to make money long ago!"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Ms. Luo's voice trailed off; they had indeed missed their chance.
Grandma Mo said sternly, “We’ve given you all opportunities, but you just weren’t willing to take them! Let me make this clear: if I hear you saying anything bad about the Mo family outside, forget about being relatives—we don’t have relatives like you! Also, Huilan is a member of the Mo family now that she’s married into it. You’re just her sister-in-law. Don’t overstep your bounds. If you dare to threaten Huilan again, you can forget about ever entering the Mo family again. We don’t welcome you!”
Luo dared not retort, for what Old Lady Mo said was true, but she was very resentful.
Their Zhao family is in such dire straits, shouldn't we offer some help? Seeing how hard they're living, shouldn't we offer our assistance? And they're relatives, after all! She even asked for help, and not only did they not help, they scolded her!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the Mo family had gone too far. And that sister-in-law, seeing her being criticized by so many people, didn't say a word in her defense! She was left to face it all alone!
Wait a minute, wasn't Liu Shi supposed to come with her? Why hasn't she shown up?
Luo looked up and searched around for Liu's figure. After searching for a long time, she finally found her in a corner.
Seeing Liu shrink into a corner, trying to make herself inconspicuous, Luo couldn't help but get angry.
She faced it all by herself, but Liu hid away!
In a flash, Luo seemed to have figured something out and began to resent Liu. This Liu is something else!
Luo wasn't really stupid. After a little thought, she understood many things and no longer cared about hating the Mo family.
The Mo family is getting better and better, and there might be a day when we need their help. We can't afford to offend them too much. It seems that this time it's not possible. We might as well try to please the Mo family so that we can meet again in the future!
Thus, the farce finally ended amidst Luo's smirking and ingratiating remarks.
The Mo family did not invite Luo and Liu to stay for lunch, citing that they were too busy to entertain them, and sent them home directly.
"Mother, don't be angry. As the Mo family prospers, there will definitely be more and more people giving us opportunities. They're just jealous that we're doing well. There will always be people who are envious and resentful. Let's just focus on doing our own thing and not care what others say. We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
Seeing that his mother was in a bad mood, Mo Lao Er quickly offered a few words of comfort.
Old Mo also said, "Isn't this normal? I'm jealous when others have meat to eat! Why should only you eat meat? Why can't I have some too?"
Grandma Mo glared at Grandpa Mo, "You're such a smooth talker!"
Old Mo laughed heartily.
"Yunmei! Yunmei, are you home?"
