Chapter 397: Not a few

Chapter 397

Eight years ago, when Mo Hanyue was only eight years old, her only impression of her father was that he was tall and dignified.

Seeing her father again now, she didn't recognize him at all.

However, the kinship from blood made her feel a strange sense of intimacy when she saw the old man in front of her.

The little girl was shy, and seeing Old Lady Mo crying uncontrollably, she held Old Lady Mo's hand as she stood there weeping.

Standing beside them, Mo Jiuye couldn't help shedding tears as he watched the scene.

In order to alleviate the atmosphere, he didn't hurry to carry his father to the room. Instead, he pushed Mo Hanyue forward a little.

He remembered that when Father was at home, what he liked best was Mo Hanyue, his only daughter. One could say he doted on her and pampered her.

Under the present circumstances, letting his sister recognize their father should be the best way to alleviate their grief.

Thinking of this, Mo Jiuye pulled Mo Hanyue over to stand in front of Mo Qing.

"Dad, look, Hanyue is a young lady now."

Sure enough, upon hearing Mo Jiuye's words, Mo Qing's attention quickly fell on Mo Hanyue.

The little girl in front of him had grown into a delicate beauty, with a pair of bright eyes exactly the same as when she was a child. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

"Is this Hanyue? You've already become a young lady. Dad can't hold you anymore."

As he spoke, Mo Qing unconsciously glanced at his own legs which were still curled up.

Seeing her father's somewhat awkward manner, Mo Hanyue plucked up her courage and called out, "Daddy."

Hearing his precious daughter call him Daddy, Mo Qing's tears flowed uncontrolled once more.

Seeing her father in tears, Mo Hanyue also lost control. She took a few steps forward, maintaining the closest distance to Mo Qing, and tentatively reached out to touch him.

"Father... woo... Hanyue missed you so much... woo..."

Mo Qing braced himself and reached out to grasp his daughter's little hand.

"Don't cry, Hanyue. From now on, Dad will be with you."

When Mo Qing said this, Mo Hanyue cried even harder. Ever since she was little, she didn't have a father. Although her brothers loved and protected her, when she saw her little sisters mention how their father did this and that, she still felt a little sad sometimes.

Moreover, she had never forgotten how her father had doted on her. Seeing her father's decrepit state now, Mo Hanyue felt as if her heart was bleeding.

Now his old wife was asking him to speak, but he really didn't know where to start.

Thinking that it was all thanks to his ninth son and daughter-in-law that the family could reunite, his gaze fell on the young couple.

"I failed in my duty as the head of this family, and made you grieve for me.

This time, our Mo family is able to be together again, it's all thanks to Jiuye and his wife.

Don't let their young age deceive you. From my observations over the past few days, their bearing and wisdom are far above you elder brothers and sisters-in-law.

Now that I'm old and useless, I only want to keep Old Lady Mo company for the rest of my life, and have the fortune to spend my days doting on grandchildren if you give more to the Mo family.

From now on, this family will be led by Jiuye and his wife. Anyone who dares object will be punished according to family law."

As soon as Mo Qing finished speaking, Old Lady Mo couldn't help laughing.

"Dear husband, where did I say wrong?"

At this moment, Mo Qing felt a little uneasy. He had announced succession to the public before discussing it with his old wife.

"Dear husband said nothing wrong. I handed over the leadership of our Mo family to daughter-in-law long ago. Our Mo family is able to be like this today, it's all thanks to their support.

Of course, everyone has made contributions to the family, but our daughter-in-law is clever and capable, she is most suitable to manage the entire Mo family."

So that was how it was.

Mo Qing felt rather embarrassed.

He knew his ninth son and daughter-in-law had made outstanding contributions to the Mo family, and wanted to encourage them with this opportunity.

He didn't expect his old wife to have done it before him.

"In that case, including me, everyone in our Mo family will listen to Jiuye and his wife from now on."

No one had any objections to this, especially the elder brothers and sisters-in-law who were originally at home.

They had long witnessed the capabilities of the ninth brother and sister-in-law. Whoever dared disagree, they would be the first to beat him up.

"Father, Mother, don't worry. From now on, we'll all listen to ninth brother and ninth sister-in-law." Everyone responded in chorus.

Just as Old Lady Mo wanted to say something more to this harmonious big family, a series of footsteps were heard coming from outside the door.

Yu Er and Lan Er knew the Mo family was having a reunion today, and the family must have a lot to talk about.

In order to prevent any outsiders from disturbing them, the young sisters had been standing guard at the front gate.
