Chapter 442: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 442: Partnering with the Men in Black (2)
Now, the relationship between uncle and nephew was beyond repair, with no room for redemption!
In an instant, Old Mo seemed to age several years, his whole demeanor resembling a defeated rooster!
Since he was young, he had been jealous of his elder brother's intelligence, jealous that his elder brother received more love and favor from their parents. When his elder brother became a scholar and married a beautiful and virtuous wife, bearing exceptionally talented son, his jealousy consumed him like a demon.
Unable to succeed in his studies and possessing an unpleasant personality, he could only eke out a meager living to barely sustain himself. Even his wife was crude and lacking in virtue, and the sons she bore were just as dim-witted, none matching even half of his elder brother's achievements.
Later, when his brother and sister-in-law, who had oppressed him so much, finally passed away, no one compared him to his elder brother anymore. At that time, he finally felt he could hold his head high and live with pride. However, this damned nephew, like his late father, oppressed his own son at every turn, and outsiders began to compare his son with the nephew!
Moreover, his brother and sister-in-law left him money and land. At the time, even with the strict village elders watching, he couldn't stop his nephew from studying, despite covert attempts to obstruct him. This nephew still managed to pass the scholar exam at a young age!
He had lived half his life in the shadow of his elder brother. None of his sons were successful, not a single one matching his nephew. Now, the relationship between the two families was about to be severed. From now on, he could only watch as this nephew, who had once been under his control, completely slipped away. He could no longer demand anything under the guise of familial ties!
Thinking about how everything in that grand mansion would no longer have anything to do with him, he could only continue to dwell in his few dilapidated huts, watching his descendants continue to face poverty, feeling as if he might spit blood!
But in the end, that blood didn't come up. His face just grew even more ashen.
Yang Bao glanced at him with pity. "People who deserve pity must also have something to blame. Although I don't quite understand the grievances between these two families, I am very clear about their actions since they came to Liuyang Village. Master Mo's decision to sever ties seems to have reached the point where he can no longer tolerate it. Even though I am the village head, I cannot go against my conscience to mediate."
Moreover, the actions of Old Mo's daughter had not only angered Master Mo, but had also made him feel annoyed! This man collided with the rules of the village not long after they were announced, which was extremely bad, and Yang Bao could not turn a blind eye to it.
Thinking of this, Yang Bao cleared his throat lightly and said seriously, "You are all members of Liuyang Village. When such things happen, as the village head, I cannot ignore them! Just because of a small disagreement, Mo Yongxi dared to ruin someone's appearance. Such malicious thoughts at such a young age must be punished according to the village rules to teach her a lesson. However, she is still unconscious now, so we will discuss the punishment after she wakes up. Do any of you have objections?"
Mo Qingze shook his head and was about to say no when Hong shi, who had been wailing for her daughter in her arms, jumped up and pointed at Yang Bao's nose and cursed, "You old thing, why should you punish my daughter? Aren't you just a silver-eyed wolf who wants to suck up to that stinky foot with money? If you dare to punish her, I'll go to the authorities and make sure you end up in jail!"
Before Old Mo, who had not had a chance to stop her, heard this, he slapped Hong shi's face hard. His face turned purple as he shouted at the dumbfounded Mo Yongfu and brothers, "Hurry up and take this crazy woman back and lock her up, and take your sister back too. Go to town and find a doctor to take care of her properly."
When the two brothers heard this, they knew this was the best arrangement and rushed to grab Hongshi, while the other one picked up Mo Yongxi and hurried back home.
