Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Nose in the Air
“What are you laughing at? With that foxy smirk on your face, why aren’t you hurrying to open the door?” Old Lady Mo bellowed again.
“Ahem, oh!”
Auntie Sun quickly suppressed her smile, obediently got up for a change, and went out to open the door.
Before long, swaying her hips like a water snake and with a face eager to see the drama unfold, she ushered Mo Yaner and her family in.
Knowing that the Mo family’s people were opportunistic, always respecting the clothes before the person, Li Feng, in his ragged clothes, felt nervous and insecure and didn’t dare to straighten his back. He walked with a bent waist, trailing behind Mo Yaner.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan looked around with wide eyes, curiously taking in their surroundings. After playing in the old residence before, they weren’t as shy anymore.
“You again? How come it’s always you?” Old Lady Mo lifted her eyes and saw it was Mo Yaner again. She had just gotten rid of this Plague God, and now she returned, accompanied by several ragged paupers.
“Grandmother, they are my husband and children.” Facing Old Lady Mo’s grim examination, Mo Yaner’s heart was filled with unease, afraid of being thrown out.
“Yan’er, how has your husband become such a sorry sight? He looks worse than the down-and-outs in our village, tsk tsk tsk! What kind of life have you been living?” Old Lady Mo, always looking down on the poor with eyes full of disdain, didn’t hide her contempt upon seeing Li Feng’s tattered clothes.
This marriage of Yan’er was also arraigned by Old Lady Mo herself back in the day. At that time, Chuner had just been born, and she was angry at Madam Xie for only having daughters, unable to bear a son, so she hastily accepted several taels of silver from Li Feng’s parents and married off Yan’er in a hurry, wanting to be rid of the sight of her.
“Grandmother, we wish to stay here for a few days.”
“So many people, eh? That’s no small amount of mouths to feed.” Old Lady Mo’s eyes narrowed into slits as she started calculating in her mind.
“We’ll only stay for a few days; we’ll leave soon,” Mo Yaner said with a smile, thinking to herself that this old witch really could change her face quickly, nothing like the way she had been a few days ago when she got fabrics and chickens from her mother, as different as heaven and earth.
“What do you think, Old Master?” Old Lady Mo’s face was grim.
“Yan’er is still our granddaughter, let them stay for a few days,” Old Master Mo thought. The Mo family had made enough of a spectacle recently; it was best to avoid further incidents. Since Yan’er was an outsider, if she wanted to stay, let her stay for a few days. In any case, it wouldn’t be long before they could use any excuse to send her away, having fulfilled their obligations, and nobody could complain.
“Thank you, grandfather.”
Just as Mo Yaner was secretly rejoicing, Old Lady Mo’s voice rose again, ominous as ever, “Our Mo family’s food isn’t free.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Yaner knew she was expected to work in exchange and quickly agreed, “Grandmother, don’t worry, Yan’er knows what to do.”
“That’s best!” Old Lady Mo was arrogantly puffing herself up, looking down her nose, completely unlike how she had been a few days earlier when she was begging Mo Yaner to go to the old residence and steal things for her.
“You can stay in the room that used to be Madam Xie’s. Yan’er, remember to get up early tomorrow morning to cook breakfast!” Having said that, Old Lady Mo turned and walked away.
Auntie Sun was inwardly delighted, thinking that with Mo Yaner taking over, she could finally taste the sweetness after enduring so much hardship and would no longer be tormented by Old Lady Mo.
The Mo family had just finished their meal, and the dishes were yet to be cleared!
“Yan’er, hurry up and clean up the dishes,” said Auntie Sun, her voice high and mighty as if she were ordering a maid around. These chores were usually her own duty, but now, finally someone had a lower status than her, and she was too excited to remember that she was in no position to demand.
