Chapter 444 Uncle Wang and Lady Xie Come Again (4)_1
Mo Sanniang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. Was this girl here to act as her guardian deity? However, seeing that she had such a younger sister always looking out for and protecting her, a wave of warmth flooded Mo Sanniang’s heart.
As if she hadn’t seen Lin Yuan, Mo Sanniang also sat down on a chair, quietly waiting for Lady Xie to speak.
Lady Xie clasped the cup in her hand, and before she could speak, tears had already started falling.
Mo Sanniang’s brows furrowed. Every time Xie Zhiyuan proposed marriage, this old woman would put on this pitiable act, going on and on about how hard it was for her to raise Xie Zhiyuan.
Indeed, this time was no different. Mo Sanniang bowed her head and quietly listened once more to the speech she had heard no fewer than eight hundred times.
"Sanniang, you have no idea, it was so hard raising Yuaner by myself as a widow. His heartless father left us when Yuaner was just a few years old. I had to be both mother and father, and for Yuaner to grow up well, I gave up on several chances to remarry."
Lady Xie wiped her tears, her eyes constantly on Mo Sanniang. This girl saw her weeping like this, why wouldn’t she at least offer her a handkerchief?
Meanwhile, Mo Sanniang was calculating how much fabric she had sold that day, which patterns needed restocking, which ones weren’t selling well, and whether she should mark them down for clearance.
Seeing that Mo Sanniang didn’t take up the conversation, didn’t offer a handkerchief, and didn’t even offer words of comfort, Lady Xie felt embarrassed and stopped rambling on about the hard years and the many suitors she had turned down.
