Chapter 311: Mo Wu’s River Plunge and Xiao Ruiyuan’s Search (6)_1
The people rolled their eyes one after another after hearing her words. Is this the proper way to address a mother-in-law?
But on second thought, there was nothing wrong with it. Mo Hong’s family treated Mo Wu, their daughter-in-law, horribly—all the neighbors saw it clearly. If Mo Wu had been as assertive as Mo Niu’s, would Mo Hong’s dare to treat her in such a way?
Mo Wu’s lifeless eyes moved slightly, and she stared blankly at Mo Niu’s, her mouth opened as if to speak, but her mind was empty, and she didn’t know what to say.
Mo Niu’s, with hands on her hips, rolled her eyes: "What are you looking at me for? If you had used the energy you spent thinking about dying to deal with that old hag, it would have been her wanting to die! If you keep being so useless, next time she’ll sell your Dani and San Ni to that lazy Mo Yongxi to add to his marriage portion. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see!"
At this, Mo Niu’s eyes reddened, not only remembering her own daughter who had been sold away but also Si Nier.
Originally, that old hag wanted to sell her granddaughter, and to keep her from setting her sights on Erni, Mo Niu’s had encouraged her to sell Si Nier. At the time, it didn’t seem like a big deal, but when Erni was sold, she really understood the pain involved and felt somewhat guilty for Si Nier, not knowing where she had been sold to.
Mo Wu also remembered her little daughter, whose fate was unknown, and her eyes suddenly reddened. She finally couldn’t hold back and began to cry loudly. Her piercing cries pierced the half of the sky, making the others’ hearts ache and increasing their sympathy for this weak and pitiful woman.
After having cried enough, and with the persuasion from the neighborhood women, Mo Wu finally abandoned her suicidal thoughts but took Mo Niu’s words to heart.
A few women, who could barely muster the strength to help the soft and frail Mo Wu, supported her and brought her back home. Mo Hong’s, whose heart had been in suspense, finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, she did not stop cursing Mo Wu for being unfilial, rebellious, deliberately seeking death, and conspiring with those women to trap her, the mother-in-law, angering them to almost fight her.
