Chapter 976: Snatching the Steamed Bun (Happy New Year)
Mo Daoyan: "Mother, there are plenty of steamed buns, let me first give my wife two to eat; she’s almost starving."
Despite being a man and considered the backbone of the Mo family, Mo Daoyan, who usually did not worry about food and drink, naturally could not understand Madam Ruan’s anxious feelings.
"Your father and I are almost starving to death, and all you care about is your wife," Old Lady Mo said with an ugly expression. After speaking, she turned her head, seemingly looking at Old Master Mo, but in fact, her words carried an indirect criticism: "Old man, there’s a saying, ’A grown son is not bound by his mother, gets a wife and forgets his mother!’"
Old Master Mo: "Who’s to blame? Isn’t it all from following your example? Have you forgotten how you used to treat your own mother?"
In their youth, the same words had been spoken by Old Master Mo’s mother, the ancestor of the Mo family.
Thus, as soon as Old Lady Mo spoke, Old Master Mo immediately retorted sharply.
Indeed, ever since he married Old Lady Mo, he had listened to her in everything, never daring to disobey even slightly. For some reason, after enduring it all his life, recently he felt somewhat fed up, gradually growing indifferent and disheartened towards Old Lady Mo, no longer indulging her as before.
Present were Mo Daoyan’s family of four, including two children, who upon hearing this, all covered their mouths and snickered.
Seizing the moment, Mo Daoyan shared the steamed buns from the basket with Madam Ruan and their two kids.
Originally wanting to put Madam Ruan in her place to show that seniors must be respected and she couldn’t disregard the rules set by her mother-in-law, who would have thought that Old Master Mo wouldn’t give her any face at all, exposing the truth in front of the younger generation, causing Old Lady Mo to become furiously embarrassed.
