No one knows a child better than their mother. Madam Ruan knew that her son, being pampered since childhood, would never walk to town.
"Hey! Good idea!"
Mo Daoyan was about to dash out when Madam Ruan’s surprised voice ca from behind: "Husband, what happened to the top of your head?" In just an instant, her husband had beco bald. Madam Ruan was puzzled.
Only then did Mo Daoyan rember that his head had been bald because of his wife’s flying knife earlier.
"It’s all your doing." Mo Daoyan felt wronged, grateful to have escaped a disaster just monts ago.
"?"
"Indeed, my life almost ended up in your hands." Thinking back to the thrilling mont earlier, Mo Daoyan felt his scalp tingle; just a little more, and his head would have been split open.
"I didn’t do anything, don’t wrong ." With the jewelry missing, Madam Ruan was in an extrely foul mood and spoke quite impatiently.
Mo Daoyan pointed to the cleaver thrown in the corner of the wall and said, "Darling, look, what is this?"
"A cleaver, I’ve got eyes, I can see it."
"How did it end up on the floor? You rember, right?"
Only then did Madam Ruan realize that in a mont of panic earlier, she had thrown the cleaver.
"What? Did it hit you?"
"Almost, if it weren’t for my agility, darling, you’d have beco a murderer."
"Huh?"
Madam Ruan’s eyes widened, finally realizing the danger, she had no intention of becoming a murderer, especially not for murdering her own husband.
"Alright, enough. I need to quickly stop our son from going to town," said Mo Daoyan, turning to leave.
"Wait a minute."
"Again, what now?"
"Wrap your head with a scarf; it looks too unsightly."
"This is a woman’s scarf. What would I look like, a grown man wearing one? No way."
"This isn’t the Capital, there’s no need for such formalities." Madam Ruan dismissed it, taking the scarf and tying it around Mo Daoyan’s head.
"Alright, go quickly!"
"Hey!" With the scarf tied, feeling like he instantly turned into a woman, Mo Daoyan replied listlessly, like a wilting eggplant, and slowly walked out.
A yell ca from behind Madam Ruan: "Hurry up!"
"Hey!"
Mo Daoyan shivered all over and imdiately bolted outside with all his strength.
Just at that mont, Old Lady Mo ca out with a bald head. Since it was scalded by boiling water, the skin on top had co off, leaving patches of white skin and scar-like wounds, looking quite unsettling.
"Oh dear! Jianjian truly loves his grandmother."
"Of course, Mother-in-law, you have doted on him since childhood, it’s only natural he cares for you too." Madam Ruan was still worried about whether her husband would find their son and didn’t notice the tone in which Old Lady Mo was speaking.
Old Lady Mo said again, "Knowing you cunning people are mistreating his grandmother, he purposely stole your jewelry to punish you! Hehehe...!" Finishing with an odd laugh.
Madam Ruan looked at Old Lady Mo in disbelief: "Mother-in-law, what are you saying?"
Old Lady Mo glanced at the pork that had fallen on the ground, speaking in a queer tone, "Whatever I say, you understand it in your heart, don’t you? Hmm!"
"Daughter-in-law is dull-witted, truly can’t understand. Mother-in-law, please be straightforward, speak your mind, no need for riddles!"
Old Lady Mo stared gloomily at Madam Ruan, starting to curse: "You nasty woman, ever since you married into the Mo family, when have I ever mistreated you? And now, you treat this old woman like this?"
"What did the daughter-in-law do to make Mother-in-law so angry?"
