Chapter 226: Chapter 226 - Father Mo’s Plans Foiled As He Tries To Advance His Studies (1)_1

As the voice fell, the originally noisy hall gradually quieted down.

Lizhong was taken aback by Mo Erni’s sudden question, and before he had thought of a good response, Mo Erni innocently continued, "I’m sorry, Grandfather Li, but back in Mo Family Village, Erni never saw you before and truly doesn’t know what your relationship with Uncle Tang’s house is. However, since Uncle Tang has given the new house to your family to live in, you must be very close relatives."

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with these words, but upon further reflection, if they were such close relatives, how could it be possible that they hadn’t seen each other for over a decade?

Everyone looked at Lizhong unanimously, then at Mo Qingze, whose complexion wasn’t looking too good, and they were all puzzled.

When the Mo Family used to live in the city, they stayed together with the Li Family. Everyone thought it was to share the rent, but now the Mo Family had moved into a new house, and the Li Family had also moved in, which was unusual.

Mo Yonglu, who was sitting at the next table, realized as soon as he heard it that his daughter wasn’t just asking out of temporary curiosity, and remembering her previous actions, his heart skipped a beat; he shouted, "Erni, sit down and eat your meal."

Mo Erni glanced at her father disdainfully, though verbally she muttered, "It’s not a secret; why can’t I ask."

"You..." Mo Yonglu was choked up, but no matter what his daughter was scheming, he had to stop her now, "You’ve grown up, and you don’t even listen to your father anymore, is that it?"

Mo Erni glared at Mo Yonglu with hatred. How could she have such a useless father who wouldn’t help her and even dragged her down! But with so many people around, if she defied her father, it wouldn’t do her any good. With that thought, her prejudice against her father deepened.

Old Man Mo, oblivious to everything around him, casually ate his meal. This granddaughter, who had never been a concern to him, actually had such thoughts. But what of it? If she succeeded... then she would be the great hero of Lao Mo’s House.

However, he forgot there was another loose cannon!

"Old Second, why are you stopping Erni?"

Mo Hong’s family, already driven mad with jealousy and thinking she had grasped an opportunity, swiftly stood up, slammed her chopsticks down on the table, and questioned Mo Qingze with a stern voice, "Old woman here wants to ask, after raising you for so many years, it’s fine if you don’t show any filial piety, but you build a good house and let outsiders live there, where do you put your mother and Second Uncle’s face?"

As soon as these words came out, the people of Lao Mo’s House knew there would be trouble.

Mo Wu, who was sitting aside, anxiously hopped around, quickly tugging at her mother-in-law’s sleeve and pleading in a low voice, "Mother, today is a happy day for Uncle Tang’s House; if there are any issues, let’s talk after we eat, don’t let outsiders see us as a laughing stock."

"I say, big sister-in-law, how much benefit has Uncle Tang’s House given you to speak up for them? What Mother says isn’t wrong, why shouldn’t she continue?"

Mo Niu’s family, having thoroughly indulged in the delicious meal, always looked up to Mo Hong’s family as a mother-in-law, and seeing Mo Wu intervening, she hastened to scold her, trying to curry favor with Mo Hong’s family.

"Mrs. Niu, shut your mouth!"

Mo Yonglu, who was sitting at another table, regretted not stopping his daughter in time, and then not stopping his mother in time; now he heard his wife fan the flames, and shouted angrily, wishing he could rush over and give her a slap.

None of them had any sense!

Mo Niu was frightened by her husband’s fierce demeanor; with a loud burp, it reverberated throughout the room, and everyone heard it.

The others frowned, looked at Mrs. Niu with disgust, and gazing upon the still steaming, delicious dishes on the table, they didn’t find them quite as appetizing anymore.
