Chapter 362 - Chapter 362 Chapter 362 Death by a Thousand Cuts
Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Death by a Thousand Cuts Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Death by a Thousand Cuts Upon hearing these words, Mo Xiaoqiang was so angry that smoke almost came out of his orifices. He slapped the table with his hand and roared, “What kind of nonsense is this, Second Brother? You folks from the second branch shouldn’t push people too far. What kind of logic is it to say that just because I don’t have a son, I should serve your son? Having an elder serve a junior, aren’t you afraid of being a laughing stock if word of this got out?”
“Our Hengjian is the only male in the Mo family and naturally more esteemed than others; why fear the mockery of others…” Relying on her son’s return, the two old heads of the Mo family were elated, and Madam Ruan became even more unrestrained, and Mo Daoyan quickly tried to stop her.
“Husband, why are you pulling me?” Madam Ruan was pulled forcefully by Mo Daoyan, and she flared up. Rarely did her son return, and this was her chance to exert her influence, only to be interrupted by Mo Daoyan, it was strange if she wasn’t angry.
Mo Daoyan whispered, “Wife, did you not see that Big Brother is angry?”
Mo Xiaoqiang had slammed the table and roared loudly; Madam Ruan wasn’t foolish, of course, she knew he was angry.
So what if he was? The fact remained that their senior branch had failed to produce a son, and was it forbidden for others to point this out? Madam Ruan secretly looked down on that.
“I am neither deaf nor blind, of course, I saw.”
Madam Ruan coldly glanced at the fuming Mo Xiaoqiang and remained unimpressed. Finally, she picked up a chicken leg with her chopsticks and placed it into Mo Hengjian’s bowl while speaking with implied meaning and pride, “Jianjian, eat more. You are the treasure of our family. Your parents will rely on you for the rest of their lives.”
“Hmph!”
Mo Xiaoqiang snorted coldly and sat down with a thud. He too picked up a large piece of chicken with his chopsticks and dumped it into his bowl, voraciously eating as if to vent his frustration, not even bothering with rice.
Seeing this pained Madam Ruan. Damn it all, this chicken was specifically set aside by the Mother-in-law for her son to eat, and now Mo Xiaoqiang was gobbling it up as if it were plain food. She couldn’t help but become enraged, yet, paradoxically, she couldn’t condemn him because the rules of the Mo family clearly stated that males were entitled to eat meat.
Auntie Sun saw Mo Xiaoqiang eating so delightfully and also quickly sat down, reaching for the meat with her chopsticks.
Madam Ruan, with quick reflexes, nudged Auntie Sun’s hand away with her chopsticks.
Auntie Sun was very annoyed, “Madam Ruan, what do you mean by this?”
Madam Ruan sneered proudly, “What do I mean? The rules of our Mo family are clear, women are not to freely eat meat without the Mother-in-law’s approval. Has the Mother-in-law given you permission to eat meat?”
Auntie Sun turned her head and saw that the rest of the Mo family were all eating meat except her, obviously targeting her, and she got furious, “Why can you eat meat? Even your daughter can eat meat, why can’t I?”
