Chapter 255: Chapter 255 Garlic Shoots Chapter 255: Chapter 255 Garlic Shoots After more than ten days, soone from the village went to the town and found out that Xuexue had sold the garlic sprouts to Xiaohe Restaurant. Upon returning, the news spread throughout the village, becoming more sensational with each telling. Eventually, every household in Mo Family Village was talking about how Madam Xie’s family made a fortune from the garlic sprouts in their fields. When the Mo family heard about it, they blew up.
“Qiangqiang, hurry up and ask that stinky woman, Madam Xie, to give us half of the silver for the garlic sprouts. That land belongs to our Mo family. Why should those despicable people get rich?” Old Lady Mo’s triangular eyes blazed with jealousy.
Mo Xiaoqiang also wanted to go, but he hesitated because of Big Bull and dared not act rashly.
During this period, Mo Xiaoqiang was very poor. Because Aunt Sun plotted against Xuexue, the Mo family had paid more than twenty taels of silver to Butcher Yu. Old Lady Mo, now, was even more miserly with money. He couldn’t get a single copper coin from her and had not been to a brothel for a long ti, making him restless.
“It’s all mother’s fault. Our family was fine, so why did she insist on divorcing Madam Xie? Look, the silver that was supposed to be ours has beco soone else’s.”
“That old hen didn’t have eggs, did she! Mother was doing it for your good. How can you bla now, truly ungrateful.” Old Lady Mo’s eyes widened—back when they divorced Madam Xie, Qiangqiang had agreed. So how co he had changed his mind now?
“Having no eggs is still better than being a cuckold,” Mo Xiaoqiang muttered under his breath.
“What did you say?” Old Lady Mo did not hear him clearly.
“I didn’t say anything. I just said this new woman is even worse. Mother, I want to divorce her.” Thinking about the potential green hat on his head every day, Mo Xiaoqiang felt suppressed and wanted to relieve himself at the brothel, but, unfortunately, his pockets were completely empty.
“Divorce what divorce? I am still waiting for her to give you a son.” Old Lady Mo was furious. Her son was truly disappointing, not daring to even take so silver from the old residence, yet thinking about divorcing Aunt Sun.
A son? Mo Xiaoqiang shuddered at the thought. Even if Aunt Sun gave birth, he wouldn’t know whether the child was truly his, and he would have no face to et his ancestors after a hundred years.
At this mont, Mo Daoyan hurried back ho. As soon as he saw them, he blurted out, “Big brother, the old residence is making a fortune, didn’t you know? The whole village is going crazy about it.”
“What? You want a piece of the action too?” Mo Xiaoqiang glanced at him.
“I’d like to, but even our own dad hasn’t made a move. How could I dare?” In the end, it was still because of Big Bull.
The old residence
Usually quiet and deserted, the old residence was bustling today, with the village entrance completely blocked by about a dozen won.
“Madam Xie, who would have thought you’d beco so fortunate? Being divorced by your husband has actually led you to better days,” the won said, sighing repeatedly. Previously, when Madam Xie lived with the Mo family, her life was worse than that of a servant. But since Mo Xiaoqiang divorced her, she had been living a life free of worry about food and clothing and was even planning to rebuild her house soon.
Madam Xie knew they had co seeking a way to wealth and hoping she would take care of them. However, everything had been handled by Xuexue and Big Bull—she really didn’t know much.
“Yes! Madam Xie, if there were any offenses in the past, please don’t mind them,” the won said, stuffing two eggs into her bosom.
When Xuexue and Big Bull arrived, they saw a large group of won surrounding Madam Xie, one handing her so vegetables, another two stead buns, each insistently stuffing their offerings into her arms.
“What’s going on?” Xuexue thought Madam Xie was being bullied again and hurried over.
