Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Carried Away by Success Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Carried Away by Success The Mo family
The noon hour had already passed, yet the kitchen of the Mo family remained cold with an unlit stove, for the members of the Mo family originally planned to feast at the old residence today, so they hadn’t thought of cooking at all.
Moreover, with Auntie Sun being injured by Old Lady Mo and then receiving renewed attention from Mo Xiaoqiang, household chores were even less attended to.
“Wife, I’m hungry.” Mo Daoyan looked pitifully at Madam Ruan.
Madam Ruan had just been in the old residence, embarrassingly exposed in front of everyone, and was still fuming about it. It was all her husband’s fault for using her skirts to wrap the pork, leaving her bare bottom on display under broad daylight to all those Great Masters, how was she to face anyone ever again.
“Eat, eat, eat! You think of nothing but eating all day, were you a pig in your last life?” Madam Ruan was livid, wishing she could smack Mo Daoyan and send him flying for his thoughtlessness, which had made her a laughingstock in front of a crowd.
Mo Daoyan glanced at Madam Ruan, saw she was still angry about the earlier incident, and didn’t dare to bring it up again. Instead, he asked weakly, “Wife, it’s passed the noon hour, aren’t you hungry?”
“I’m not hungry!”
Madam Ruan felt as if she could die right then and there, let alone eat. Even if there were dragon meat available at the moment, she would have had no appetite.
Xiuzhi looked pitifully at Madam Ruan: “Mother, I’m hungry.”
“You’ll have to wait for your grandmother to come back, she has locked up everything in the kitchen.” Having said this, Madam Ruan stopped paying attention to her father and daughter and listlessly went to her room to tend to her wounds.
Auntie Sun looked pitifully at Mo Xiaoqiang: “Husband, I’m hungry too.”
Mo Xiaoqiang’s stomach was growling with hunger as well, but recalling Big Bull’s words, he still felt immensely pleased, as if he could already see the near future: living in a new house and enjoying fish and meat every day, with endless silver to spend. At this thought, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Bear with it a bit longer, when Mother returns, we can open the cabinet and take some food.”
“Husband, what’s so funny?” While all their stomachs were so hungry they felt their backs sticking to their chests, Mo Xiaoqiang still looked delighted, causing Auntie Sun to feel puzzled.
“It’s… it’s nothing.”
Mo Xiaoqiang quickly checked his laughter, trying to cover it up. If Aunt Sun knew that he was thinking of reconciling with Madam Xie, it would turn the world upside down.
“But husband was clearly just laughing.”
“I was just happy that the two of us have made up,” Mo Xiaoqiang made an offhanded excuse.
Auntie Sun lowered her head, blushing with a shy smile, “Yes! Being able to make up with you, husband, even if Mother-in-law hit me with a stool, it was worth it.”
Having endured days in the Mo family worse than death. felt like finally seeing the moon break through the clouds.
Old Lady Mo returned disheartened, and as soon as she entered, she called out, “Old Master, Old Master.”
“You dead old hag, what are you hollering about? I’m starving to death! Cook something for me to eat already.” Hearing Old Lady Mo’s voice, Old Master Mo walked out from the house, clearly irritated, had told her not to cause trouble at the old residence, and she wouldn’t listen.
“I’m hungry too, you go cook for yourself,” Old Lady Mo, who had been holding back her anger, got home to find nothing to eat and was scolded by Old Master Mo, also lost her temper.
She angrily pulled out the keys from her pocket and threw them on the ground.
Out of options, as the whole family was hungry, Madam Ruan reluctantly picked up the keys and went to the kitchen to cook.
