Chapter 227: Chapter 227 - Father Mo’s Plans Foiled As He Tries To Advance His Studies (2)_1

Mo Niu’s, having lost face, was oblivious and picked up her chopsticks as if nothing had happened, continuing to stuff food into her mouth. Since she wasn’t allowed to speak, eating was surely acceptable!

Mo Erni also glared resentfully at her mother. Having such a disgraceful mother, she thought it might be better not to have one at all!

But at this moment, her hatred for Mo Hong’s family was even stronger, wishing she could sew that woman’s mouth shut with needle and thread forever. All her careful plans had been ruined by this foolish old thing.

Everyone was looking at each other, unsure whether they should continue eating and drinking.

Even though they were curious about why the Mo Family let the Li Family move in, today was the Mo Family’s big celebration, and moreover, it was during a banquet. Regardless of the reasons, they would have to wait until after the banquet to resolve it.

A perfectly good banquet had been disrupted, and Lao Mo’s House was truly not acting properly. The guests vented their disdain for Lao Mo’s House internally, while also feeling sympathy for the Mo Family: having such relatives was truly like having eight generations of bad luck.

Seeing Old Man Mo, who let them make a mess without intervening, they could understand why Lao Mo’s House was so ill-mannered.

Lizhong had had no chance to say a word before things had escalated to this point. Seeing the banquet ruined like this, he felt extremely remorseful. He was about to explain when he saw Mo Qingze shaking his head at him, so he closed his mouth in confusion.

Looking back at Mo Hong, who was looking aggressive and demanding an explanation, Mo Qingze, however, had no intention of even answering her.

He stood up and apologetically bowed to Mr. Liu, Punishing Shopkeeper, and the others, "I apologize for today’s incident, which has caused you amusement."

"Every household has its own troubles. There’s no need for Ziyu to be so formal," said Mr. Liu with a faint smile on his face, seemingly unaffected by the farce before him.

While Punishing Shopkeeper and the others felt the mood was dampened, they couldn’t really blame the Mo Family head, and replied with a smile, ’No harm done,’ though their gazes towards Old Man Mo held a subtle significance.

Mo Qingze felt even more ashamed, and bowed to the other villagers as well, expressing his apologies for the inadequate hospitality.

The invited villagers, already on good terms with the Mo Family, wouldn’t take offense, and all smiled and expressed their understanding.

Then, Mo Qingze picked up a full cup of wine and said, "Today is a great celebration for my Mo Family. I am very happy to have all of you here. Regarding the matter that my niece inquired about as to why Uncle Zhong’s family has moved into our Mo Family’s home, I will give everyone a clear explanation after the banquet. Please enjoy your meal and drinks now, and I hope you’ll forgive any shortcomings in our hosting."

After he said this, he drained the cup of wine in one gulp.

With these words, naturally, the guests all lifted their cups to toast Mo Qingze.

For a moment, the atmosphere grew lively again, as if the previous incident had never happened.

Old Man Mo sat stiffly, feeling like he was on pins and needles, filled with regret. He regretted not stopping his granddaughter or Mo Hong’s family, and he regretted even more not having remedied the situation immediately after Mrs. Hong had spoken.

Now, regardless of why the Li Family was living with the Mo Family, his own family would once again become the laughingstock of Liu Yang Village. Judging by Qingze’s attitude of ignoring the obstinate old woman, the hope of mending the two families’ relations seemed impossible.

First ignored by Mo Qingze and now subjected to the scornful stares of others, Mrs. Hong felt her old face burning with embarrassment. She realized that no matter how justifiable her reasons were, causing a scene at the banquet was her fault.

Staring furiously at Mo Erni, who sat across her at another table, Mrs. Hong thought, had it not been for this despicable girl, how could she have lost face? Since the girl refused to behave, she couldn’t blame Mrs. Hong for being ruthless.

Feeling the malicious gaze of Mrs. Hong, Mo Erni was frightened out of her wits. Her eyes, lowered, were filled with a chilling fierceness that made one shudder...
