Chapter 229 - Father Mo’s Plans Foiled As He Tries To Advance His Studies (4)_1
"Mr. Mo, rest assured, now that everything is clear, no one will bring this up again in the future."
Even the most respected person present supported Mo Qingze, so the villagers, who hadn’t thought he was in the wrong, echoed the sentiment and praised Mo Qingze’s integrity, with their words tinged with contempt for Old Man Mo’s family.
At this time, the people of Lao Mo’s House wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it, especially Old Man Mo, Mo Hong’s, and Mo Erni, whose faces were simply too embarrassing to behold.
Mo Erni clenched her fists tightly, why, why did things turn out like this?
She had thought the Li Family’s refusal to leave the Mo Family could only be for one of two reasons: either the Li Family members were servants of the Mo Family, or the two families were so close that Mo Qingze was willing to let them stay.
But she eliminated the first option right from the start! If the Li Family were servants of the Mo Family, why would Mo Qingze speak so evasively when asked about it?
During all this time, she had heard nothing about the Li Family selling themselves into servitude to the Mo Family, so she assumed it was the second scenario. That’s why she wanted to use this issue to show everyone that the Mo Family would prefer to welcome outsiders into their home rather than let their own uncles and aunts stay.
If the Mo Family couldn’t stand the pressure and kicked the Li Family out, outsiders would only say the Mo Family was hypocritical. As long as she could make a rip in the Mo Family’s good reputation, she would find a way to completely ruin it.
If the Mo Family called the Li Family bought servants, would the Li Family be happy about it? Then she would stir up trouble by getting the Li Family to reveal the truth, and the Mo Family’s reputation would be equally stinky.
If the Mo Family didn’t kick the Li Family out, she could simply invite the two closest old folks to come and stay, and once they moved in, their children and grandchildren, out of filial piety, would naturally have to move in as well.
