Chapter 49 Father-Daughter Conflict_1
On the way home, the expressions on everyone’s faces were not good.
Lizhong glanced at Mo Qingze, whose eyebrows were tightly furrowed, then at Mo Yan, who was wearing a cold face, and wanted to say something to persuade them not to fall out over those upsetting matters, but as an outsider, it wasn’t appropriate for him to meddle in father-daughter affairs. He could only stroke his granddaughter’s head and silently sigh.
Xin’er Zhen’er were at an age when they could discern right from wrong, and they didn’t hide their emotions. Each one huddled close to their sister, looking across at their father’s gloomy face with dissatisfaction written all over their small faces.
Second Grandma and Second Uncle had come to bully them again, and Big Sister was not at fault, so why did Daddy scold Big Sister? Their family had finally started living good days; were they going to let those bad people take everything from their family like before?
During those years in their old home, if it hadn’t been for Big Sister’s protection, they would have long been bullied to death by Goudan and Shitou from Second Grandpa’s house. Daddy only knew how to favor Second Grandpa’s side, humph!
Mo Qingze felt very uncomfortable being stared at by his daughters and son as if he was a bad person, and upon seeing his expressionless daughter, he felt a trace of regret. But when he thought of his elderly second uncle’s disappointed and sorrowful look before he left, he felt that his daughter shouldn’t have been so aggressive.
He knew that his second aunt wasn’t too kind to the children, but his second uncle was his only close elder, who had treated him well in his childhood. As his second aunt had said, without them, not only would it have been difficult to protect the inheritance left by his parents, but whether he himself could’ve grown up safely was questionable, not to mention that his second uncle had followed his father’s last wishes and sent him to school, where he eventually earned the title of Scholar.
Although after getting married, his second uncle’s family didn’t return the fields and houses to him, he was grateful for their care. Wasn’t it damaging to his second uncle’s heart when his daughter publicly spoke of those sordid matters in front of so many people?
