Chapter 24 - Betting Debt
Mo Zhi Yuan's face was a little ugly as he stood at the side like a wooden block. He did not say anything, but looking at his own mother spouting nonsense on the ground, he felt that he had lost a lot of face.
"Aunt, you touched your conscience and said that our family doesn't owe you anything. The money and things you took from our family were enough to support your family. Even if I didn't give you anything recently, you guys have already taken the prey I hunted a while ago. With so much meat, it should be worth at least three taels of silver, right? Is three taels of silver not enough for you to spend in a month? " Mo Lin Yu said angrily.
After Yao Gui Hua heard this, she started to argue shamelessly, and said, "You little ingrate, stop spouting nonsense, your family is so poor, how can you possibly have three taels of silver for me to take?"
More and more people started to gather at the gate of the courtyard, all of them were just here to watch the show. Yao Gui Hua normally did not have much of a personality, so many people did not believe what she had said. On the contrary, she believed even more in what Mo Lin Yu said, pointing at him and talking about everything he said.
For the sake of his own daughter, Yao Gui Hua had no choice but to give up for now. He wholeheartedly wanted to marry his daughter into a rich family, and if news of this spread around the village, it would be bad.
"Who's the ingrate? I know who's the one, right Auntie?" Mo Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Yao Gui Hua said fiercely: "I won't bother with you guys today, I'll deal with you guys another day."
"Zhiyuan, let's go."
The two of them left in a huff, and the people who were watching outside also dispersed.
Before Yao Gui Hua could even catch her breath, she sobbed: "Mother, if we don't get the silver anymore, I'm done for, don't tell me you want to see me beaten to death by those people?"
Normally, Mo Zhi Yuan loved to gamble when he was free, but this time was different. He owed more than 10 taels of silver to the people outside, but his family did not even have 10 taels of silver. That was why he had thought of this. Every time he asked for money, he would use two old men as a cover to get a lot of benefits.
Yao Gui Hua sat down and drank a few mouthfuls of water before saying weakly: "I told you not to gamble for a day, but you insisted on going. You even owed me over ten taels of silver this time, if your father knew about this, he would beat you to death."
Although Yao Gui Hua was normally very vile, she treated her own son and daughter very well.
Mo Chun Lan came in from the outside and said coldly: "Big Brother, you are always gambling and still owe so much money. If we do not have the money to pay it off, this matter will become serious. "In the future, I want to marry into a rich family. Our family's reputation has almost been thrown away by you."
Mo Zhi Yuan was unable to say a single word since it was his fault. At this moment, his face was even more unsightly.
"Chun Lan, your big brother was just muddle-headed for a moment, if we think of a way to return it, then everything will be fine. Yao Gui Hua consoled Mo Chun Lan while speaking up for him.
After such a ruckus with Yao Gui Hua, the Lee's didn't even have time to eat. Mo Xiao Yan was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back.
"Mom, let's go cook. I'll help you, I'm starving." Mo Xiao Yan said as he pulled Lee's into the kitchen.
"Oh right, Mother, where is Second Sister? "Why haven't I seen her for a long time?"
"They went to learn embroidery. The Chen family has people to teach the girls in our village how to do it. I heard that person's cooking skills are really good. Although most of the girls in our village know how to embroider, it's still a little simple." I heard that someone taught us for free, so a lot of people went there. "
It was a simple lunch with two stir-fried eggplants and white cabbage. Although there were only two dishes, the porridge made from wild vegetables that he had eaten at home for almost a month felt delicious.
After eating, Mo Xiao Yan burped and said: "Mother, I'm so full eating, I want to go for a walk."
"Hehe, go ahead. She really is a little girl." The Lee's said with a smile.
