Chapter 703: The Father Who Traps His Daughter Found a Son-in-law (4)_1
Mo Qingze was also in his small study, preparing invitations. He wrote one for Xiao Ruiyuan, and of course, he did not forget to write one for the prospective "son-in-law" he had his eye on.
As a progressive father, he knew it broke with convention yet hoped his daughter would see for herself. If she did not approve, he would never force her.
Of course, Mo Yan was unaware of this; Mo Qingze’s fatherly affection was destined to be in vain.
They needed to inform those in the village too. Neither Mo Yan nor Mo Qingze were ostentatious, so they visited each household one by one.
Not a single villager invited declined, all accepting honorably. Aunt Cai, Mrs. Zhou, and others didn’t even wait to be asked by Mo Yan before volunteering to come over early on the 28th to help out.
The 28th arrived quickly, with villagers moving their tables and chairs to the Mo Family’s courtyard early in the day. The men gathered in groups chatting and cracking sunflower seeds while playfully threatening to have the "Five Beasts" bite their misbehaving children’s behinds if they did not sit still.
The children, completely unafraid, carried on chasing each other with sticks as usual, filling the courtyard with the sound of their laughter and playful shouts.
Some parents grew annoyed by the noise, worried that their unruly kids might damage the Mo Family’s property. They took matters into their own hands, grabbing the kids by the scruff and tossing them out so they could play as they pleased elsewhere.
