Chapter 442: Chapter 442 The Men in Black Partnership (2)_1

Now, the bond between uncle and nephew is beyond repair, irreversible!

In an instant, Old Man Mo seemed to age several years, looking utterly defeated, like a cock that has lost its fight.

Ever since he was sensible, he had been envious of his older brother’s intelligence and favored status in the eyes of their parents. When his brother became a Scholar and married a beautiful and virtuous wife, producing an exceptional child, his envy had driven him into a destructive obsession.

He himself had failed in his studies and had an unlikable disposition. He could only toil away in the soil for a meager subsistence. Even the wife he’d married was coarse and not a bit virtuous. His own son was just as simple-minded, not half the man his brother’s son was.

When the oppressive couple that was his brother and sister-in-law finally died, and no one compared him to his brother anymore, he thought he could finally hold his head high. Yet, that damned nephew, just like his late father, always outshone his own son, and people started to compare their sons again!

However, his brother and sister-in-law had left Silver and land for him, and with the stern old village chief watching, he couldn’t, however reluctantly, prevent his nephew from studying. Even after obstructing the boy both openly and in secret, his nephew would become a Scholar at a young age!

He had lived in his brother’s shadow his whole life, and his sons were all disappointments, none comparable to his nephew. Now that their families were to part ways, he’d have to watch as his once-suppressed nephew completely slipped from his grip, and he could no longer use the name of kinship to make demands!

Thinking of how everything in that grand house was now none of his business, still stuck guarding his shabby huts, watching his descendants continue to toil away in poverty, it felt as though he was about to vomit blood!

That blood never came up, but Old Man Mo’s complexion became even more ashen.

Yang Bao looked at him with pity. A pitiable man often has detestable traits. Although he was not quite clear on the past grievances between the two families, he was well aware of their behavior since they had come to Liu Yang Village. Mr. Mo’s decision to sever ties must have come from intolerable frustration, and even as the village chief, he could not mediate against his conscience.

Moreover, the unacceptable behavior of Mo Family’s daughter had not only angered Mr. Mo but also infuriated him. The village regulations had just been announced not long ago, and she had already broken them so flagrantly. This could not be overlooked.

With that in mind, Yang Bao cleared his throat and spoke sternly, "As members of Liu Yang Village, I cannot ignore this matter as the village chief! Just for a trivial argument, Mo Yongxi dared to disfigure someone. Even at a young age, such maliciousness is extreme and she must be punished according to village rules, to learn her lesson. However, since the victim is still unconscious, the punishment will wait until she wakes. Do you have any objections?"

Mo Qingze shook his head, about to say no, when Mo Hong’s family, who had previously been holding her daughter and wailing, suddenly sprang up. Pointing at Yang Bao’s nose, she cursed, "You old bastard, why should my daughter be punished? Aren’t you just eyeing the silver of that white-eyed wolf who made my daughter suffer, wanting to kiss up to him? If you dare to punish her, I will go through fire and water to petition the Duke and make sure you rot in jail!"

Before Old Man Mo could stop her, upon hearing these words, he slapped Mo Hong’s family hard across the face. With a face turned iron blue, he bellowed at the stunned Mo Yongfu and his brother, "Quick, drag this madwoman back and lock her up. Take your sister back too, and go into town to find a Doctor to take a good look at her."

Upon hearing this, the brothers realized that this was the best course of action. One of them stepped forward to grab Mo Hong’s family, while the other picked up Mo Yongxi and hurried towards their home.
