It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother
Chapter 20: Blackmail in disguise
Modai stood at the door of the house, with a bamboo basket full of things on her shoulders, and a wicker basket on her arm. The basket was covered with straw, and the moaning of a certain creature could be faintly heard inside.
The sun is gradually turning to the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretches Mo Dai's shadow extremely long. The evening wind gusts, blowing the corners of Mo Dai's skirt and hair from time to time, and the old locust tree at the door shakes the dark brown of newly sprouted buds. Branches, there is a little desolation in the silence.
It was the first time for Mo Dai to understand the desolate feeling of being rejected by others, having a home but not being able to return. When she came to buy things and buy things, she was full of enthusiasm for her family, and now she was completely thrown by Mo Wuyun at her feet. The beach water was poured out, and my heart was cold.
Mo Dai pursed her lips, thinking about what she should do next. It's not that she is reluctant to leave this home, it's just that when she first arrived in this strange world, she has a new identity, and the memory of the original owner obtained through the original owner's body, how can these be so easily forgotten?
In the courtyard, Mo Wuqing was chopping firewood silently, Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng were embroidering, and Xu Shaolin was sitting on the threshold of the main hall, twisting straw ropes and looking at the two children who were playing.
Maru Niu was lying in the wicker basket by the door of the kitchen, lifting his big ears from time to time, blinking his **** round eyes, looking very innocent and cute. But in fact, it was the first one to know that Mo Dai was back. However, the woman left for three days, and she didn't care about her life at all. It has been so hard these few days, and it is under Mo Wuyun's indifferent eyes every day. Living under the sight of swallowing, there is no way, for the sake of that stutter, it has to endure!
Shaoqing, Xu Shaolin saw that there was no movement outside the gate of the courtyard. This really did not fit Mo Daxi's character. If it had been in the past, that **** would have kicked the door impatiently.
Xu Shaolin sighed. He thought that Mo Daxi had changed for the better, but he didn't want those appearances that only confuse their family. She actually went to gamble with others, and even took their family's rations to gamble. Disappointed, therefore, he did not stop Mo Wuyun from shutting her out of the courtyard this time.
Mo Wufeng was embroidering flowers, and because he felt uneasy, he stabbed his fingers from time to time; Mo Wuyun was unmoved, and he was as calm as an old monk; dead tight.
After a while, Xu Shaolin still didn't hear Mo Daxi's knock on the door, and he couldn't let it go. He sighed resignedly again, stood up and leaned on his crutches to open the door.
As soon as Xu Shaolin opened the door, he saw that Mo Dai was sitting quietly on the stone pier at the door, holding a young leaf of an old locust tree in his mouth, and looking at the sky. I don't know what she was thinking, but the side face was very serene, and the figure sitting on the stone pier with her knees hugged looked thin and lonely. Looking at her like this, no matter how many complaints Xu Shaolin had towards Mo Daxi in his heart, it disappeared unknowingly at this moment. After all, she is her own child, so can she really hold grudges against her?
"Daxi..." Xu Shaolin called out, his voice seemed very listless, and his face was even more exhausted.
"Father!" Mo Dai regained consciousness, turned to look at Xu Shaolin, and said with a smile, "I'm back!"
She sat here thinking and thinking, but she still couldn't understand why Mo Wuyun treated her like this. Could it be because she didn't go home for three consecutive days? But she had already sent someone to notify them in advance, could it be that the messenger didn't convey her words?
"...Come back, it's good..." When Xu Shaolin said this, his eyes were very complicated.
"Father, did someone send a message three days ago saying that I will stay in Fumantang for a while before returning?"
"Yes..." Xu Shaolin didn't want to recall what happened three days ago, because it was a nightmare. First, Mo Guihua said in a trance that Mo Daxi had bet with others again, and lost all the wild pork and eggs. Then Then there was a rumor that Mo Daxi would not go home these few days, and the messenger seemed to have said other things, but he was already stunned by the news that Mo Guihua had brought back, and he didn't even bother to listen carefully.
Seeing that Xu Shaolin just agreed hastily and walked back to the yard, Mo Dai was a little surprised, but she didn't say much, just followed into the yard with her things on her back.
In this room, when Maruyu saw that his original owner had finally been let in, he jumped out of the wicker basket with a huff, and flew to Modai's feet in an instant, and pressed his head **** Modai's ankles, while arching his sides. Moaning and complaining: Woman, you finally know that you are back? Do you know how your uncle has abused me these past few days? He skipped my rations every meal and didn't give me a good look. I've had enough of him! You have to take good care of it, it's not good for this wife to be weak!
Seeing that Mo Dai didn't pay much attention to him, and just walked towards the kitchen on his own, Maru Niu was a little angry: I heard that you are betting with someone again? Also lost the bet on the meat and eggs brought from home to sell?
Hearing Maruki's question, Modai looked at Maruyu in surprise: Who said that?
Maru Niu twitched his nose: Why, no? Tsk, I knew that Mo Guihua was not a good bird, none of her words were true, she deserved to be sick now, hum!
Mo Dai's mind was running fast, based on what Maru Niu said, and the reactions of Xu Shaolin and Mo Wuyun, she roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter, presumably it was Mo Guihua who mistakenly thought that she had lost all the meat, so she came back alone and uncomfortable , and informed Xu Shaolin of the situation. As for why the person who sent the message failed to pass on the message, Mo Dai didn't want to pursue it at this time. Right now, she wants to visit Mo Guihua's illness first. Honest and honest people are willing to become friends with Mo Daxi, she has to catch them.
Mo Dai walked into the kitchen and unloaded her things, seeing that Maru Niu was focused on overturning the bamboo basket she carried back to find something to eat, but Mo Dai ignored it, since it was out of reach anyway. Sure enough, after jumping around a few times, Maruniu finally decided that he was not strong enough to overturn the bamboo basket, and turned to pull the wicker basket.
Mo Dai thought about giving some of the remaining meat to Mo Guihua, but she searched the kitchen and couldn't find it, thinking that maybe Xu Shaolin had stored the meat elsewhere. , so he stuck his head out of the kitchen and asked, "Father, where's our meat?"
When she asked, everyone in the yard, big and small, froze, and it took a while to recover, their faces full of sorrow and unwillingness.
"Father?" Mo Dai faintly felt that many things must have happened at home in the past three days, when she asked, her voice seemed a little impatient.
"What are you asking? Do you still have the face to ask?" Mo Wuqing finally couldn't hold it back, he chopped a piece of wood with his ax suddenly, turned his head and stared at her fiercely, those beautiful eyes were burning with anger again , but this time, the dazzling feeling of the first meeting was gone, only anger and despair remained, "You lost all the basket of meat and the fifty eggs that the family managed to save enough, aren't these enough? Now you Do you still want to gamble with the basket of meat left at home?"
As he said that, Mo Wuqing suddenly laughed, the laughter was very weird, almost like madness, and it was very scary to listen to: "It's all right now, the meat is gone, it's all gone, I see what else you can do Gambling? There is no way to live this day, our whole family should die..."
"Wuqing!" Xu Shaolin scolded Mo Wuqing, but when he saw his red eyes and tears streaming down his face, he couldn't bear to talk about him again.
"Father, tell me, what's going on here?" The more Mo Dai heard it, the more serious the situation became.
"Ah!" Xu Shaolin sighed again, "The day before yesterday, when your aunts came over, Dad gave them the meat..."
"Why did you give it to them?" Mo Dai couldn't hold back, and also yelled out.
From Mo Daxi's memory, she learned that Mo Ahua, the dead mother of Mo Daxi and Mo Wuyun's three brothers, had two sisters and three brothers, the elder sister Mo Achun was forty years old, and the younger sister Mo Alan was thirty-four years old. The elder brother Mo A Niu is thirty-eight years old, the second elder brother Mo A Shan is thirty-six years old, and the fifth brother Mo A Shu is thirty-two years old. The three brothers have married to Liujiazhuang and rarely see each other. Mo Achun and Mo Alan lived in the east of Mojia Village, about ten families away from Mo Daxi's.
Mo Ahchun looks big and thick, has average appearance, is stingy and loves to take advantage of petty gains. Mo Alan is also stronger, but he is better looking than Mo Achun. He is very rich and usually has a pleasant appearance, but in fact he is very cunning in his heart.
In Mo Daxi's memory, these two aunts were all snobbish eyes, and they were especially bad to Mo Daxi's family. After Mo Ahua's death, he was afraid that Xu Shaolin would borrow money from them for food, so he never set foot in Mo Daxi on weekdays. The family is separated from Mo Daxi's family. Mo Daxi hated and was afraid of these two people, so when he heard Xu Shaolin say that he gave the meat to those two people, Mo Dai empathized and yelled out for Mo Daxi.
When Xu Shaolin was yelled at by Mo Dai, he couldn't help shaking, and then his eyes were sore and tears flowed down. Yes, how could he forget? Mo Daxi is such a **** who yells at the whole family every now and then.
"Why are you yelling?" Mo Wuqing put down his axe and gritted his teeth, "It's all because of you! Because of you, our family will beg for mercy and send the meat out, otherwise they will drag you to the patriarch. I'm going to chop off your fingers, and I'm going to drive you out of Mojia Village, do you know that?"
It turned out that two days ago, Mo Daxi's two aunts got the news from nowhere that Mo Daxi had lost another bet and lost all his family's wealth, so they came to denounce Mo Daxi in the name of their elders and threatened to chop her up Finger and drive her out of Mojia Village. Xu Shaolin talked all kinds of things, and even knelt down, but the two were unmoved. Their purpose was obvious, which was to get the wild pork from Mo Daxi's family. There were hints in both words and deeds. How could Xu Shaolin not understand, For Mo Daxi, the meat can only be sent out.
