Chapter 294: Chapter 294 Old Lady Mo Chapter 294: Chapter 294 Old Lady Mo “Mother, have you gone mad? If you kill her, you’ll end up in prison too.”
“Who wants to kill her? I just lost control for a moment, it wasn’t like I meant to knock her out,” Old Lady Mo retorted, her face indifferent. In the Mo family, she hit whoever she wanted; who could do anything to her?
“Since she has passed out already, why kick her?” Unable to comprehend Old Lady Mo’s brutal actions, Mo Xiaoqiang hurriedly rushed into the kitchen, filled a ladle with cold water, returned to Auntie Sun’s side, bent down, took a mouthful of cold water, and then suddenly sprayed it on her face…
“Puh!”
“Huff!”
Facial sprayed with a mouthful of cold water, Auntie Sun spat out a mouthful of stale air and gradually came to. She opened her eyes, looking bewildered for a moment, and when her gaze swept over Mo Xiaoqiang, she suddenly threw herself at him and burst into loud sobbing, while desperately wailing, “Husband, I was so scared, I thought I would never see you again.”
Mo Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment on his face but eventually–he held back and did not push Auntie Sun away.
After all, his mother had just given the woman a severe beating, nearly costing her her life. Although he liked Auntie Sun the least, he couldn’t bring himself to reject her at this moment.
“What a seductress!”
Old Lady Mo was fuming, thinking to herself, wasn’t it just knocking her out once? But here she was, weeping and wailing, driving a wedge between mother and son. Now that she thought about it, Madam Xie was much better. She had always borne hardships without complaint, and despite often being beaten and scolded by her, she had never complained to Xiaoqiang about it.
“Mother, can you hold back your words? Do you really have to take a life before you’re satisfied?” Mo Xiaoqiang said impatiently as he lifted Auntie Sun’s clothes to check the wounds. Upon seeing the bruises on her back, he couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air. His mother had been too harsh; how had she beaten the woman to such a state?
“Husband, it hurts,” Auntie Sun took advantage of the moment and plaintively made a sweet face.
“Let’s go back to the room.”
Mo Xiaoqiang carried the injured Auntie Sun back to the room.
Old Lady Mo was left alone in the courtyard, staring blankly.
“Mother, Mother, did you hear? They’re building a new house at the old residence, and they’re even using blue bricks and roof tiles,” Mo Daoyan and his wife, having heard the gossip in the village, excitedly ran back to inform Old Lady Mo.
Indeed, the whole village was buzzing with talks about building a house at the old residence; it was almost becoming an obsession, and it would be odd if they hadn’t heard.
Old Lady Mo was already irritated about this issue. Hearing Mo Daoyan’s words, she roared with a tone full of anger, “They have the ability to build a house, what does that have to do with you? If you’re so capable, build one for me to live in.”
“Mother, what’s wrong? Have you eaten gunpowder? Who has upset you?” Mo Daoyan and his wife were startled by Old Lady Mo’s reaction.
“Who else could it be? If not that Seductress Fox, Auntie Sun,” Old Lady Mo fumed. “That wretched woman, I barely touched her, and she feigned fainting, even making Xiaoqiang resent me. A seductress is a seductress, causing discord between mother and son.”
Mo Daoyan and his wife were taken aback and stared at Old Lady Mo. “Mother, what exactly happened?”
Old Lady Mo recounted the earlier incident, showing no remorse for knocking Auntie Sun unconscious and assuming a righteous anger. Mo Daoyan was stunned, thinking to himself how his mother was becoming more overbearing and unreasonable!
Wanting to avoid offending her, he quickly changed the subject: “Mother, let’s put that aside for now. The urgent matter at hand is the new house being built at the old residence; shouldn’t we go and help out?”
