Chapter 54 The Old Couple's Thoughts
Xu Cuihua was very happy. What did this little girl mean? Was she afraid that she couldn't afford the money?
Just as he was about to speak, Mo Haoyue smiled and said, "Put it down. I'm sure you can finish it."
Liu Baoguo also witnessed Xu Cuihua's greed, no wonder Mo Haoyue wanted to treat them to a meal here, although the level was high enough, but also close enough.
In fact, it is best to host a banquet at home in this situation.
"Come on, little girl. I'm sure we can finish it. Could you please calculate how much it costs?" Wang Fen also came out to smooth things over.
Seeing this, the little girl said nothing. After Wang Fen paid the bill, she sat back at the table.
"I'm sorry for troubling you, sister, over the years. Haoyue's success today is all thanks to your good care of him." Wang Fen said politely.
"Sister, you are right. We have paid too much for the fourth child over the years. We need to do his job and find him a good wife."
If Wang Fen knew that Liu Baoguo had investigated how she treated Mi Xia in advance, she would have to believe it. This sincere performance really opened Wang Fen's eyes.
Mo Haoyue sat aside and said nothing. He was becoming more and more disappointed with his parents.
After a while, the dishes came up. There were swimming crabs weighing 150 to 180 grams, large yellow croakers weighing 150 grams, prawns as long as a child's arm, oversized mantis shrimps, etc. The table was full of them, and everyone was stunned.
Old man Mo and Xu Cuihua's eyes were about to grow on the table, and Liu Baoguo and Wang Fen happened to want to talk to them.
Everyone at the table was eating quietly, but when Liu Baoguo was about to pick up some food, two pairs of chopsticks suddenly picked up the food from the plates and put it into their bowls.
He put the food into the bowl and ate it so quickly as if he had been hungry for days.
Mo Haoyue coughed lightly, and the old couple suddenly remembered that there were other people around.
Old Man Mo blushed with embarrassment and picked up a crab to put it in Liu Baoguo's bowl.
"Brother, you have eaten it, you eat it." Liu Baoguo waved his hand quickly and blocked the bowl with his other hand.
He was afraid that the old man Mo's saliva-stained chopsticks would reach into his bowl. Seeing that he really wanted it, the old man politely continued eating. The food tasted a little better than before, but only a little better.
Mo Haoyue and Liu Baoguo's wife didn't eat much during the meal, but old man Mo and his wife ate with relish, completely treating Liu Baoguo and Wang Fen as outsiders.
After Xu Cuihua finished eating, she burped, which made people at the next table look at them. Wang Fen felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life.
"Let's go now that we're full." Wang Fen didn't want to stay here for an hour; it was really too embarrassing.
Old Man Mo held his round belly and said, "Old Four, your mother ate a lot. Please sit for a while."
Mo Haoyue said calmly: "My parents wanted to take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Since your mother has eaten too much, let's go now."
When Liu Baoguo and Wang Fen heard Mo Haoyue calling them mom and dad, they no longer felt embarrassed and were very excited that their son now recognized them.
When Xu Cuihua heard that they were going to the supply and marketing cooperative, she stopped sitting still and pulled Old Man Mo to go out.
"We've rested, let's go."
Xu Cuihua's actions refreshed Liu Baoguo and his wife's views of them.
After joining the supply and marketing cooperative, the old couple were so polite. They wanted everything they saw. Wang Fen thought about how they could raise Mo Haoyue safely.
They didn't say anything. Seeing that they were not talking, the old couple shopped even more happily. They bought several skirts of Latin origin. Xu Cuihua muttered as she shopped, saying that she would buy two for her daughter.
I bought two pairs for my eldest and third daughters-in-law. Old Man Mo also restrained himself and bought me a few pairs of leather shoes and ready-made clothes, which I had never worn.
Liu Baoguo and Wang Fen looked at the two greedy people. They didn't buy anything for Mo Haoyue. The two people who were usually good-tempered couldn't help but want to beat them up.
Seeing Mo Haoyue's caring look, Wang Fen felt extremely guilty. She lost her son and made him suffer for so many years.
Mo Haoyue paid for the ready-made clothes first, and looked at Xu Cuihua with a hint of affection in his eyes, "Have you finished shopping? Can we go now?"
Xu Cuihua nodded in panic. In this way, the four people were all hung with things and were holding a lot in their hands.
"Mom and Dad, you go back first. I'll send them back to the village and then go back." Mo Haoyue smiled at Liu Baoguo and his wife.
Seeing that the fourth child had even offended his parents and had treated them like that in the past few days, Xu Cuihua was also afraid, "Fourth child, don't worry too much, you have already recognized your biological parents, and from now on I will take care of you, your father."
Hearing this, Old Man Mo also looked at Mo Haoyue, "Old Four, your mother is right, what do you think?"
"I've said it before, you raised me when I was young, and I will take care of you when you are old." Mo Haoyue said in a hoarse voice.
Xu Cuihua looked at Mo Haoyue's expression and said through gritted teeth: "We don't need you to provide for our old age. Give us 1,000 yuan and think of it as you providing for our old age."
Xu Cuihua had seen how rich this couple was. She bought so many things at the supply and marketing cooperative, and they paid for them without blinking an eye.
So she wanted to take the opportunity to ask for some money. Even without Mo Haoyue's money, she, the old man, could still live well.
Mo Haoyue looked at Old Man Mo, who lowered his head and said nothing. What else did he understand? His father also wanted money!
Wang Fen looked at Mo Haoyue's hurt eyes and felt pained. If she could use 1,000 yuan to buy off their son's relationship, she would be willing to do so.
Mo Haoyue looked at Xu Cuihua and Old Man Mo with indifferent eyes. He didn't expect that they could sell him for one thousand yuan.
Xu Cuihua also felt a little comfortable. After all, she had watched the Fourth Brother grow up, so how could she not have feelings for him? But compared to money, feelings are nothing.
What's more, she is still very close to him. If she wants it now, if the fourth brother comes back in the future, she will be in great pain.
“I have sent all my allowance to you over the years, and these things on you, how many times more than a thousand yuan? I only have 300 yuan on me, you can ask for it if you want it, and I will pay for it if you want it.” Mo Haoyue said in a cold voice.
Seeing Mo Haoyue's cold eyes, Xu Cuihua felt very upset and whispered, "Okay, then 300."
Wang Fen was about to pay when Mo Haoyue stopped her, "Mom, this is my business. I'll pay."
Then he took out 300 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xu Cuihua, "Mom, this is the last time I call you like this. I know why you trust me so much, but I have never thought about supporting you."
"Since you want money, I will give it to you. However, from now on I will love your son. I wish you good health and a long life."
Xu Cuihua didn't even listen to what Mo Haoyue was saying. She just stared at the 300 yuan in his hand with blinking eyes.
Old man Mo couldn't help but sigh. How did things turn out like this? With only 300 yuan, is there nothing left for Old Four?
Did Old Man Mo forget? Mo Haoyue's allowance over the years has been all given to them. Speaking of which, the things they are wearing now are worth hundreds of dollars.
He could ignore all that and just look at the 300 that Mo Haoyue was giving to Xu Cuihua.
