Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Luo Ning Wants to Buy a House _1

Seeing the photo of Hong Bing covered in blood on his phone, Mo Han nodded slightly.

He had said that Hong Bing would definitely regret it.

Wasn’t it nice to apologize honestly? Why did you have to act tough and even threaten to have someone chop me up? Now look at what happened, you got chopped by the very people you brought, right?

Serves you right!

Unknowingly, it had reached 4:20 PM. The parent-child sports day had ended successfully, and Mo Han returned home with his daughter.

As usual, he turned on the television for Chen Chen to watch cartoons while he busied himself in the kitchen.

At 5:40 PM, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife Luo Ning arrived home one after another.

This made Mo Han somewhat puzzled. Recently, his mother-in-law often went out to play mahjong in the afternoon and wouldn’t return until at least seven o’clock. Why had she come back so early today?

He had something to do later and couldn’t be bothered to ask, so he took out the dishes he had prepared—sauteed mixed vegetables, Kung Pao chicken, braised carp, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes—from the kitchen to put on the dining table.

At that moment, a fierce voice came from his mother-in-law Yang Meifeng in the living room.

"Ning’er! It’s not that I want to criticize you, but how did you end up with such a good-for-nothing husband like Mo Han!"

"Look at Manager Wang’s son-in-law; how capable is he? He straight-up gave Manager Wang a 195-square-meter luxury flat in the East City Green Garden worth a whole 5.6 million!"

"And then there’s our family, five people still crammed in this old 110-square-meter house, it’s infuriating!"

It turned out that Yang Meifeng had gone for an afternoon mahjong game. The four players were having a good time until around five o’clock, when Manager Wang suddenly received a call. Her son-in-law had bought her a new apartment at Green Garden in East City, a full 195 square meters, and he wanted her to come and see it right away.

Yang Meifeng had won over three hundred yuan that afternoon and was feeling quite pleased with herself, but Manager Wang’s unexpected flex immediately soured her mood.

Manager Wang’s daughter had neither the looks nor the figure; if it weren’t for going under the knife, which man would’ve spared her a second glance?

Yet, after the surgery, this junk picked up a rich second-generation husband who one day bought tens of thousands worth of jewelry for Manager Wang and the next day birds’ nest and shark’s fin to show his filial piety.

Just thinking about it made Yang Meifeng choke with anger...

In comparison, Luo Ning was beautiful and poised. She could easily rival those stars on TV, and she was totally within her rights to go for a top rich second-generation guy. But of all people, she had to fall for Mo Han and even have a daughter with him.

"Mom, what’s the point of envying what others have? We are our own family," Luo Ning said, frowning slightly. "I’ve just become the general manager of the Luo Group, and my annual salary is also seven or eight hundred thousand. Give me a few more years to save money, then we can buy a new apartment, okay?"

"A few more years?" Yang Meifeng grumbled discontentedly. "Your mother is already fifty-one this year. Wait a few more years, and I’ll be in a coffin! What’s the point of a new apartment then!"

If it were any other day, Luo Yuantu might have said something to smooth things over when he saw his wife angry, but today he had gotten into trouble and didn’t dare to speak up. He could only sit on the sofa and watch cartoons with his granddaughter.

"Dad, Mom, Ning’er, Chen Chen, come and eat."

At this point, Mo Han called out to them.

Mo Xiaochen was the first to rush to the table. Looking at the spread of dishes, she clapped her little hands excitedly. "Wow, so much delicious food, Chen Chen is going to stuff herself today..."

Luo Ning and her father also took their seats at the table.

Only mother-in-law Yang Meifeng remained stern-faced. She stormed over and pointed at Mo Han’s forehead, scolding, "It’s all because of a useless bum like you, if you had any guts, I could be living in a big house by now!"

"Mom! You’re being too much!" Luo Ning retorted angrily. "Mo Han didn’t provoke or bother you, why do you always say such things!"

"If you’re so capable, why don’t you go buy a house yourself!"

"Grandma, Mom, don’t argue," Mo Xiaochen chimed in with her small bowl pouting, "When Chen Chen grows up, I will make money and buy a big house, okay?"

Her words considerably lightened the atmosphere.

Luo Yuantu also tried to mediate, "Alright, a house is not something we can get anxious over, let’s just eat."

"Eat what? With these measly dishes in front of us, I can’t be bothered to eat!" Comparing the few ordinary dishes at home to Manager Wang’s daily servings of abalone and Australian lobster, Yang Meifeng was in no mood to eat. She got up from her chair, went to her room, and slammed the door shut.

"Ah, your mom’s always been like this..." Luo Yuantu shook his head resignedly, took a few bites of rice, and decided to go outside for a walk.

Suddenly, only Mo Han’s family of three was left at the dining table.

Mo Han knew his mother-in-law Yang Meifeng’s character all too well.

She was too status-conscious with a petty nature and strong jealousy, forever two-faced.

Back when Mo Han was a multimillionaire living in luxury and driving fancy cars, his mother-in-law had always worn a smile and never expected him to cook.

But since Mo Han went bankrupt a year ago, Yang Meifeng had been full of scorn and prompting her daughter to divorce.

He suddenly regretted that a year ago at AoXiang Investment Company, he shouldn’t have let He Chen refund his mother-in-law’s money.

"Don’t take to heart what mom said just now, Mo Han. She’s always been like that, always comparing ourselves to others," Luo Ning said, glancing at Mo Han and then looking down, speaking apologetically.

"Do you want to change apartments too?" Mo Han asked with a small smile.

"Who wouldn’t want that?" sighed Luo Ning. "Ever since we moved here a year ago, she’s been causing a fuss at home every other day, my head is starting to ache from her nagging."

"If we had the means, I would indeed love to buy a new apartment and move out sooner. But with our current situation..."

Then, as if a lightbulb went off in her head, she quickly said, "Right, we could go and look at new apartment complexes first, ask about current prices. If it’s not too expensive, we could make a down payment now and pay the mortgage later..."

"Hmm! Tomorrow is Saturday, and we don’t have anything special to do. Mo Han, let’s go take a look at apartment complexes together!"
