The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 69: ulterior motives

Chapter 69: Ulterior motives

At this time, the main hall of the Mo family, which was not spacious, was full of people. Sixteen members of the old Mo family, old and young, were all present.

After leading her four children to look around every corner of the Mo family, Mo Niu took her children to the main room and sat down with a look of envy and jealousy on her face. She grabbed the pastries on the table and gave them to the five-year-old The son stuffed the food into his own mouth with one hand and shouted at the other three children to eat quickly.

Mo Yongxi has always been lazy about food. Seeing that his second sister-in-law's family was acting like bandits, he was afraid that he would eat less. He quickly stretched out his hands and kept putting them in his pocket, regardless of whether they were clean or not.

Standing in the corner, Mrs. Mo and Wu watched her child swallowing saliva, feeling full of guilt for the Mo family and not letting her child get close to her.

Seeing my father-in-law and mother-in-law, who had ulterior motives, chatting affectionately with my cousin, I secretly hated myself for not being tough enough, so I would be so hot-headed as to bring the whole family to my cousin's house. Thinking of how kind my cousin's family had been to their children before, I felt even better. Feel uncomfortable.

Zezha, our family doesnt speak the same language. After all, this is our Mo familys business. Your cousins have a lot of power. Is it better to ask them to help than you to ask outsiders?

Old Mo Tou looked at Mo Qingze, who was frowning and silent, kindly, and for those who didn't know, he thought the two were father and son.

"That's right! Zeyi, my aunt used to be too anxious and worried that you would be fooled, which is why there were so many misunderstandings, but your second uncle and aunt really care about your family!"

Mo Hongshi followed up with an explanation, with an aggrieved look on his face that said, "I have been misunderstood."

This look, if placed on a beautiful young woman, would make people feel pity for her. I believe it is true, but on Mo Hong's old, wrinkled face, it would be indescribably cold.

Xiner, who was standing behind her father, looked at the couple singing together with twitching eyes, feeling puzzled.

Second Grandpa is okay, it has always been like this, but Second Grandma has never spoken to them in such a good manner as now. Is it because the sun has risen in the west, or has it changed its gender?

Huh, she didn't believe that this vicious old woman would change for the better. Her sister said, "To be courteous for nothing is to commit adultery or theft." These people must want to take advantage of their family again. She has to keep a close eye on her father and not let her father agree in a daze. .

Except for the Mo Wu family who wanted to lower their heads to the ground and the honest and honest Mo Yongfu couple, the two brothers Mo Yonglu and Mo Yongshou stared at Mo Qingze, their cousin, with hopeful faces, and Mo Niu family with his mouth full of pastries. , and nodded repeatedly, whimpering and wishing he could do it for Mo Qingze.

They have long heard that those who help sell vegetables at Mo's house can earn nearly one tael of silver a month. The most important thing is that the work is easy. If they can get the job of selling or delivering vegetables, let alone the wages. , maybe you can also secretly get some oil and water. If you calculate this, can you make a fortune?

It would be better if my parents could be more generous and my cousin could be more generous, just divide the vegetables in the greenhouse between them.

Mo Qingze was silent for a moment, shook his hands in his sleeves, and finally declined politely: "There are enough people, there is no need to add more for the time being. If we are too busy in the future..."

How about that?

Before Mo Qingze finished speaking, Mo Hong screamed at the top of his lungs. Just as he was about to act out, he remembered the old man's warning last night. He couldn't help but lower his voice and forced a smile on his face: "Ze Ya, Yong. The three Lu Yongshou are your direct cousins, you can't just help outsiders and leave them alone!"

Mo Qingze felt his forehead swell and hurt, and said patiently: "Second aunt, it's not that my nephew meant to shirk, but we have hired enough people. If Yongfu brothers can endure the hardship, they can help take care of the vegetable fields at night. For the money, My nephew can also be considered higher for them."

Take care of the vegetable field? I said, cousin, how do you feel at ease? Its freezing out here. You ordered us to take care of the vegetable field. Do you want to freeze some of our brothers to death?

Mo Yonglu got ahead of his mother, yelling loudly with his eyes wide open, as if he was looking at the vegetable field and asked him to die.

My cousin, he obviously has an easy job, how can you let my men look after the vegetable patch? Why dont you just drive away those people outside!

Mo Niushi wiped her mouth and started shouting too. The loudest voice was heard outside the yard.

In the yard, even though the door to the hall was closed, Mo Niu's words still reached the ears of Lin Da, Lin Song, and Lin An clearly, and they suddenly became nervous.

But what they said next made them so angry that they wanted to rush into the house immediately and argue with those who framed them.

"Your sister-in-law is right. They are outsiders after all, so how can they be trusted by their own family? Who knows if they secretly squander money on weekdays?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Mo Hong couldn't help but stare at Mo Qingze, with resentment in her eyes. She was indeed a white-eyed wolf who was not well-fed. She didn't care about her relatives when she was rich. She didn't ask her family to help when she had a good job. It was just for nothing. Let outsiders take advantage!

Hearing this, Mo Qingze couldn't bear to listen and turned coldly: "Second aunt, please be careful what you say! My nephew knows what their conduct is like. They have never made any mistakes these days, and it is impossible for my nephew to catch up." Let them go, if the cousins can't bear the pain of keeping vigil, just pretend that the nephew didn't say this!"

When Old Mo saw this, he knew something was going to happen. He glared at Mo Hong and told her to shut up. Then he said to Mo Qingze, who had a cold face: "Zezha, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense." Hey, she just said the wrong thing because she cares about you, don't argue with her, a woman."

Facing his only uncle, although he was disappointed in his heart, Mo Qingze would not be embarrassed by him: "The second aunt is the elder, so the nephew will not care about it! It's just the second uncle, these people who help the nephew are all destined, and there is no chance. How can you just drive someone away without any reason? If you do this, what's the difference between my nephew and those villains who don't keep their word?"

Mo Qingze is a straight-tempered man. These words originally had no other meaning, but in the ears of Old Mo, it was another matter.

Is he accusing his wife of being a villain who doesn't keep his word? Lao Motou felt his face was burning, as if he had been slapped hard, and he couldn't help but feel even deeper resentment towards his only nephew.

How dissatisfied you are in your heart, but it doesnt show on your face.

Old Motou sighed and said sadly: "Uncle, I know your difficulties, but your brothers are all useless. Fortunately, sir, you can still resist. I pity your nephews and nieces. They spend the whole day I dont have enough food and clothing, and Shi Shi fell ill a few days ago. If it werent for the money provided by your family, Im afraid he would have been there long ago... If it werent for the fact that life at home is really difficult, I wouldnt have the nerve to make things difficult for you.

Seeing his only uncle like this, Mo Qingze felt uncomfortable, especially when he looked at his nephews and nieces who were grabbing pastries to eat. Comparing the life he lived at home, he felt even more pitiful for the children. If he originally wanted to refuse, he would never give up. Unable to speak.

Seeing that Mo Qingze was loose, Old Mo quickly struck while the iron was hot, but before he could continue to express his feelings, the door of the main room was pushed open...
