Before he finished speaking, he was kicked again by Madam Xie.
"Ouch! Wife, why are you hitting again?"
"If you dare to call ’wife’ again, I’ll finish you today."
"I won’t, I won’t call you that, alright, waah...!" Mo Xiaoqiang felt so aggrieved; just now Madam Xie had stomped on his spine, the pain making him grimace, feeling like his back was about to break.
"Do it again."
"What?"
"Swear."
"Oh!"
Under Madam Xie’s threat, Mo Xiaoqiang swore again, and only when Madam Xie nodded in satisfaction did she release him.
This ti, Mo Xiaoqiang didn’t dare to follow Madam Xie, and had to walk ho with a pig-like swollen face, wincing in pain.
It seems that Madam Xie is truly determined to break off with him this ti, leaving Mo Xiaoqiang with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He really misses the Madam Xie who never abandoned him in the past, but back then, he found her annoying, thinking she was ugly and skinny, and mockingly childless, making him a laughingstock among the villagers.
Who would have thought, just after divorcing her, she would strike it rich, and her second daughter even acknowledged a high-ranking official in the Capital as her father. Mo Xiaoqiang deeply regrets that he secretly went to the Yihong Brothel for pleasure when he should have reconciled with Madam Xie.
This is what led to his current predicant. When he was in the Capital, even the new clothes Madam Xie sold to him were snatched by those damn beggars, leaving him with their rags. If not for the War Prince’s assistance, he’d still be wearing those beggars’ tattered clothes!
Mo Xiaoqiang staggered and stumbled back ho.
Old Master Mo was also very surprised to see him, and only after asking did he learn what happened, feeling deeply moved.
After hearing that Old Lady Mo had gotten into trouble, Old Master Mo, who used to cherish his wife dearly, showed no reaction.
"Dad, mom got into trouble, why aren’t you reacting?" Mo Xiaoqiang was filled with doubt.
Old Master Mo then recounted all the antics Old Lady Mo had been up to at ho recently. In the end, he spoke with a pained expression: "Your mom is getting more and more unreasonable. Just because she went bald, she thinks the whole world owes her sothing. At ho, she’s all about causing trouble, and I’m too old to handle it."
"Mom has always been like this, it’s been decades, why can’t you handle it now, dad?"
"It’s different."
"How is it different?"
"Of course, it’s different. Back then, your mom was young, as beautiful as a flower. Being scolded or hit was no big deal. Now, look at her, she looks like a ghost, one glance can give you nightmares. No, no, I can’t handle it." Despite Old Master Mo’s age, he still has an eye for beauty.
"Now I finally know who I inherited my love for beauty from, dad, right?"
"You brat, a gentlewoman is a gentleman’s rightful pursuit, don’t you know?"
"I do, it’s because I understand too well that I ended up like this." Mo Xiaoqiang was almost on the verge of tears.
It’s because of this fault of loving beauty that Madam Xie ignores him now.
"Xiaoqiang, don’t be discouraged. It’s normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. I wasted my whole life with only your mother. Now she’s turned into sothing neither human nor ghost, I don’t even know how to spend the rest of my life."
Old Master Mo looked troubled, he really didn’t want to see Old Lady Mo’s appearance. They didn’t get along, yet being husband and wife, they couldn’t avoid each other. Thankfully, the village head locked her up this ti, it was truly a blessing.
Old Master Mo secretly rejoiced, hoping the village head would be so annoyed that he’d kick Old Lady Mo out of the village, allowing him to be free.
