Chapter 657 Rampage (2)_1
Mo Yan and her companions had been busy all morning, their waists and hands indeed sore from the labor. Relieved to have some help, she quickly set down the cleaver and untied her apron, smiling.
At that moment, Dani came over with some tea, pouring a bowl for each person who had come to help.
Mo Yan took a sip and tasted the sweetness of sugar spread throughout. She was not fond of such sugared water, barely managing to drink half a bowl before setting it down on the table. Unexpectedly, a seven or eight-year-old child spotted it, gleefully rushed over, and in one breath, finished the remaining half bowl, even relishing the bowl’s bottom for one last taste.
Mo Yan’s eyes bulged in astonishment. She reached out to stop him, but it was too late. It wasn’t that she minded the child’s lack of manners for drinking her sugared water without asking—it was simply too unhygienic for her comfort, and it caused her some distress.
"Hey, you little glutton, why did you drink your Mo Sister’s sugared water?"
The mother of the child, one of the women who had come to help, initially thought the child was clever for drinking the half bowl of sugared water. Seeing Mo Yan’s change in expression and thinking her reluctant to part with it, she quickly set down her own bowl, grabbed her child, and began to scold loudly while slapping the child’s bottom.
"Waaahhhh—"
What could a child of that age know? Seeing his mother, who seldom laid a hand on him, both hitting and scolding him, he burst into terrified tears, quickly smearing his face with snot and tears, looking pitiful indeed.
