Chapter 974: Chapter 974 Glorious Ancestors (Happy New Year)
“Mother, it’s not that we can’t endure, but the General’s Mansion is really too bullying, arranging us in such a dilapidated yard, clearly looking down upon us. Why should we endure this treatnt!” The entire place was dirty, Mo Daoyan didn’t want to clean up, simply flopped down on an old stool.
“You stinky boy, are you foolish? Are you foolish?” Old Lady Mo stepped forward, stretched out her dry claws, and jabbed Mo Daoyan’s forehead vigorously.
“Mother, what are you doing? It really hurts!”
Mo Daoyan stretched out his hand to touch his sore forehead, and said with a sense of grievance.
After traveling all night and not resting, and being tornted at the entrance of the General’s Mansion all morning, now with hunger making his front stick to his back, Mo Daoyan’s mood was extrely terrible.
“Having worked so hard to co here, for what do you think I did this? Do you think I did it for myself?”
Mo Daoyan pouted his lips, thinking to himself, if it’s not for your own sake, could it be for ? He didn’t believe that the always self-serving Old Lady Mo could have such nobility!
“It’s all for Jianjian to have a good future,” continued Old Lady Mo.
At the ntion of his son, Mo Daoyan fell silent.
It was true, recently, Mo Hengjian failed the Child Student examination, causing him to worry to no end.
The Mo family spent all their financial and material resources, hoping he would later pass the Juren examination to bring glory to the ancestors, yet Mo Hengjian was not made for academics, failing even to pass the Child Student exam, let alone the Juren.
Moreover, Mo Hengjian, living at the Academy, picked up many bad habits, knowing only how to squander the family’s silver to show off, learning nothing good but picking up the extravagant habits of the rich kids.
Ever since Old Lady Mo said to take Mo Hengjian to the General’s Mansion, hoping that Great General Situ would show favor because of Xuexue, and secure him a small official position, which would be better than failing and returning ho to farm.
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Mo Daoyan were overjoyed, following Old Lady Mo to the Capital excitedly.
Old Lady Mo rubbed her shoulders, saying: “Alright, Yaner, stop moping around here, hurry up and help your wife tidy up the house, I’m nearly dead from exhaustion.”
Saying this, she also sat down on a stool.
“Mother, it’s not that I don’t want to work, but I’m just really hungry with my front sticking to my back.”
“It’s also because that little cheap person Xuexue is too cruel. On the surface, in front of everyone, she acts very filial, welcoming us to the General’s Mansion to enjoy fortune, but secretly, she plays dirty tricks on us, not providing food or proper lodging, it’s just despicable, that dead girl.” Old Lady Mo cursed severely, saying she herself was almost starving.
“It’s all because of your wrongdoing, in the past, you used to treat people the sa way,” out of nowhere, Old Master Mo ca out with this line.
“Ah! You dead old man, now blaming everything on my wife, aren’t you? When I used to do that, I didn’t see you objecting! Now you have learned to play the good guy; where were you back then?” Old Lady Mo was very displeased.
Their family’s old man is just a hypocrite; now that Xuexue has risen to prominence, becoming the wealthy Miss of the General’s Mansion, he only thinks of flattery, how ridiculous. Doesn’t he think, as they are husband and wife, if she is not good, can he escape?
Madam Ruan and Mo Xiuzhi were tidying up the house next to them, hearing their quarrels and growing even more irritable: “With such good energy, hurry over and help, with such a large mansion, just us mother and daughter, when will we finish cleaning?”
