Chapter 448 Unrepentant (1)_1
Originally, the two households had cut off all relations, and it was fine as long as neither side gained any advantage. However, Mrs. Mo Wu visited the Mo Family every day, returning home smelling of food, and if anyone said she got no benefits, Mrs. Mo Niu would be the first to disbelieve them.
The conditions of the two branches of the family were similar to start with, but just because Tie Tou worked in the Mo Family’s rice shop, his branch was far better off than the second branch. Mrs. Mo Niu had always been jealous, and now with Mrs. Mo Wu likely gaining benefits at the Mo Family’s while she could only watch on helplessly, there was no way she felt at peace!
For several days, Mrs. Mo Niu restrained herself and tried to figure out what exactly Mrs. Mo Wu was doing at the Mo Family’s, but everyone from the main branch had been repeatedly cautioned by Mrs. Mo Wu and their lips were sealed tight. Since she couldn’t enter the Mo Family’s main gate, all her efforts over the past few days had been in vain and she had learned nothing.
Knowing her own limitations, Mrs. Mo Niu was aware that even if she confronted Mrs. Mo Wu, she wouldn’t get anything out of her, so she turned her attention to Mo Hong’s family.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Hong’s family had been beaten severely by Old Man Mo and had lain in bed for several days before recovering. Once able to get up, she started taking care of Mo Yongxi, who couldn’t even get out of bed.
Mo Yongxi’s injuries were not minor, and with proper care from a good doctor and some well-prepared medicine, she should have been able to get out of bed after resting for these days. However, Lao Mo’s House didn’t have much silver, and Old Man Mo, blaming her for bringing trouble to the family and staunchly cutting off any association with the Mo Family, refused to hire a good doctor for her.
