Chapter 396: As long as you’re both Alive.

Chapter 396

Third Older Brother said somewhat amusedly, “What are you thinking about? Isn’t the reason we brothers went out to search for Father and Eldest and Second Brothers?” Father will naturally come back with us.”

Seeing Mo Yuance still dazed where he stood, Third Older Brother continued, “What are you still dazed for? Go call the family out!”

Reminded by Third Older Brother, Mo Yuance reacted. He didn’t care to ask about his father’s circumstances but turned and ran towards Old Lady Mo’s room, yelling, “Mother, Father and Eldest and Second Brother are back!”

With that yell, not only Old Lady Mo in the room heard clearly, even the few sisters-in-law tending the vegetable garden in the backyard heard it loud and clear.

In the blink of an eye, the door to Old Lady Mo's room was pushed open from inside.

This was also the first time they had seen the old woman move as quick as flying.

"Yuance, what did you say? Your father and eldest and second brothers are back?"

Mo Yuance quickly went forward to support her, pointing in the direction of the carriage parked in the yard, "Mother, look, they are over there!"

Old Lady Mo's eyes were already wet at this moment, and her vision had become blurred.

However, she could still make out that there were many tall figures standing around the carriage.

She staggered over to the carriage, and two people immediately knelt down before her.

"Mother, your son has been unfilial and made you worry," Eldest and Second Brother said in unison, kowtowing heavily three times to Old Lady Mo.

These were the last two sons the Mo family had found. Old Lady Mo had thought for a time that they would never appear alive again. Now, seeing them alive and well before her, the old woman eventually couldn't hold back her tears.

At the same time, the few sisters-in-law who were working in the backyard also rushed back.

Among them were Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law.

Usually talkative Second Sister-in-law was stunned speechless for the moment, somewhat unbelieving that the man before her was the husband she hadn't seen for many years.

Eldest Sister-in-law just stood in place, covering her face as she wept bitterly.

The other few sisters-in-law were better, although their husbands were all away from home. They were all clear that they were not widows.

Now that Eldest and Second Brother had just returned home, everyone’s attention naturally fell on the two brothers.

At this time, Old Lady Mo had already been supported forward by her seventh son, one hand holding Mo Junrui and the other Mo Jiacheng.

She choked out with difficulty, "As long as you can come back, as long as you can come back.”

Seeing He Zhiran's huge belly, Old Lady Mo was about to scold them.

But before she could speak, Mo Jiuye quickly said, "Mother, Father is weak and still in the carriage."

Old Lady Mo instantly swallowed back what she was going to say.

"Hanyue, quickly support your mother to see your father."

Mo Jiuye went ahead to the carriage.

"Mother, I'll carry Father into the room first. You can slowly talk."

Old Lady Mo didn't respond to her son's words. Instead, she directly opened the carriage door.

After a few days of recuperation, Mo Qing could now sit for a while.

At this time, he was leaning against the carriage, listening to the sounds of family reunion outside, and his old wife's voice that had become much older than before. For a moment, he didn't know how to face them.

It was all because of his incompetence that such a good family had declined to this state.

The carriage door suddenly opened, sunlight bursting in. Mo Qing squinted slightly.

However, Old Lady Mo and Mo Jiuye could see at a glance that Mo Qing's face was already streaked with tears.

Seeing the emaciated old man in the carriage, Old Lady Mo was startled for a moment.

But she soon recognized him from his brow and eyes.

"Old Master, is it you?"

Still, Old Lady Mo couldn't quite believe it. She felt it was real only if the other party acknowledged it.

"Mistress, I've made you suffer all these years. I'm sorry," Mo Qing said with difficulty.

Hearing the familiar yet somewhat aged voice, Old Lady Mo finally believed this was all real.

Now not only were her nine sons alive and well, even her husband, who had been proclaimed dead for so many years, was alive and standing before her.

Old Lady Mo suddenly felt she possessed everything all at once, as if she had returned to the time when the children were young and the family was whole.

"I'm not suffering... not suffering... As long as you're all alive, that's good..."

As she spoke, Old Lady Mo could no longer continue. All that could be heard was her sobbing.
