Chapter 436: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 436: Almost Disfigured (1)
In Liuyang Village, there were over a hundred households, mostly newcomers from last year. After a year of getting along and adjusting, only about thirty or forty households had developed good relations with the Mo family. Therefore, they only needed to visit these households for New Year's greetings, rather than going door-to-door to everyone.
However, after visiting just seven or eight households, Zhen'er absolutely refused to visit the next one.
"Dad, Big Sister, as long as little aunt is with us, Zhen'er won't go for New Year's greetings anymore. It's just too embarrassing!" Zhen'er glared angrily at Mo Yongxi, who was happily cracking and munching on melon seeds, standing there refusing to take another step.
Before going for New Year's greetings, Big Sister had warned that most families in the village were struggling, and even the snacks offered to guests might be precious enough that families hesitated to give them even to their own children. If they were offered something to eat, they should just take a little as a gesture of goodwill. But this woman seemed not to have heard a word. As soon as she entered someone's house, she stuffed handfuls of peanuts and melon seeds into her pockets without any regard for others' feelings. Her thick skin made him feel ashamed.
"Embarrassing? You little brat, say that one more time to me!" Mo Yongxi couldn't take it anymore. With a "ptui," she spat out the melon seed husk, strode forward, and raised her hand as if to slap Zhen'er.
Zhen'er twisted his small body to avoid her forceful slap, hiding behind Mo Yan, and sticking out his little head shouted, "Men and women should not touch each other. You shameless woman, no wonder you're still an old maid!"
"Pfft!" Beside her, Xin'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing Mo Yongxi glaring fiercely at her, she quickly covered her mouth, but her crescent-shaped eyes and smile couldn't be concealed.
Yun Zhao's lips twitched as he struggled to hold back his laughter. Sanni'er didn't understand the meaning of the words, but she knew it wasn't a good thing, so she just looked at the others silently. As for Yun Sheng and Xiao shitou, they were too young to understand where the joke was, so they looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.
Mo Yan suppressed her smile and, seeing Mo Yongxi's distorted face from being teased, she knocked Zhen'er's head lightly and sternly reprimanded, "Who told you to speak to your elders like that? It's disrespectful. Apologize to your aunt right now and let her forgive your childishness!"
However, she was thinking that she must teach her stupid brother the correct usage of "men and women should not touch each other" when they returned home, so as not to cause a big laugh.
Zhen'er rolled his eyes, not wanting to apologize, but this time he had indeed said the wrong thing. Even if this aunty was embarrassing, it was not his turn for a junior to ridicule. So he reluctantly stood up and said to Mo Yongxi, who was furious, "aunt, as your nephew is still young and ignorant, please be generous and do not take offense."
Mo Yongxi, however, had never thought of letting him go easily. Or say that since Mo Yan's family set out to visit the family with a new attitude, she had been holding her breath. Later, Mo Yan and others had a cold attitude towards her, making her breath skyrocket. Now there is such a good opportunity. Why didn't she let go?
