Chapter XXI
The old lady was wearing a clean and simple gray shirt and thin gray trousers. Her silver hair was behind her head, and there was no expression on her skinny face, making her seem serious.
However, the chaotic look in his eyes showed that the old man was probably suffering from old age and might not understand everyone's words.
She looked at Mo Junbao blankly as if she did not understand what he was saying.
Mo Zihan, who was sitting beside her, smiled and said in a low voice," Grandma, it's time for you to say a few words to uphold justice."”
After saying that, she looked at the old man with a smile in her eyes.
The old lady seemed to be stunned when she heard that. A trace of clarity and surprise flashed across her eyes, which could not escape Mo Zihan's eyes.
"What do you want to do with the chair?”Mo Zihan smiled. The old lady's habit of being very clean and the occasional flash of clarity in her eyes could not escape Mo Zihan's eyes. She had long determined that the old lady's dementia was fake or not serious.
Thinking of the various actions of these children, Mo Zihan seemed to be able to understand the old man's actions. It was just for peace and quiet.
Everyone at the table heard Mo Zihan's question. Other than Wang Yan who glared at Mo Zihan, everyone else turned to look at the old lady.
The old lady's eyes returned to normal and she muttered," A chair?”
"Yes, Mom. There are a few chairs in your old house. They are all valuable things. Fourth Brother wants to take them all for himself! Do you think that chair should be divided among several families?”Mo Junhua's small eyes darted around as he tried to slow down his speech so that the old lady could understand.
When the old lady heard this, she stretched out her skinny hand and waved it vigorously." No! No!"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. Mo Junbao's face lit up. The old lady patted Mo Zihan's shoulder beside her." I'll give it to whoever raises me!" For my granddaughter, for my little granddaughter."
"Hehe, Mom, you're not stupid. You know that your little granddaughter treats you well!”Mo Junbao chuckled when he heard that.
"Ah?" Mo Junqiang and Mo Junhua looked at each other and were both stunned. Then, the former slammed the table and stood up." The old lady is confused. What can we get from her?"”
The second brother, Mo Junhua, nodded in agreement.
Mo Junbao also slammed the table and stood up." The old lady said to give it to her granddaughter! Add me Zihan! What if you don't understand?"
Wang Yan's expression immediately changed. She stood up and shouted," Why? Who did the old lady want to give her to? That was good! The old lady has always been taken care of by our family. Shouldn't the things belong to our family?”
Mo Junbao was amused." Didn't you say yesterday that you're not going to raise them anymore? Now that the old lady is here, you can forget about the chair.”
Wang Yan's face turned red when she heard that. She suddenly glared at the old lady and shouted," You heartless old thing! I'll feed you with good food and drink, and leave all the good things to your youngest! Goddamn old thing!"
The old lady sat there, looking as lost and lifeless as ever. However, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up the food without paying attention.
Mo Zihan sneered. Based on Wang Yan's current attitude towards the old lady, it was not difficult to imagine what kind of life the old lady had lived in her house. At the very least, she lived under someone else's roof and was at the mercy of others.
"What are you talking about? If I call you sister-in-law, that means you're married to my brother! What the hell was that? Are you scolding your mother in front of your son?" Mo Junbao was also unhappy. His eyes narrowed as he said angrily.
Mo Junqiang also glared at Wang Yan and pulled her back to her seat." Alright, stop arguing with people! You've lost your value!"
"You're not noisy! You're worth something!" Wang Yan grumbled angrily and sat back down.
Mo Junhua rolled his eyes and said with a smile," Let's stop arguing. The old lady has dementia. She definitely can't keep her words."”
"You're right." The old lady said as she took a bite of food.
Mo Junhua's words were stuck in his throat.
Mo Zihan smiled." First Uncle, Second Uncle, didn't everyone talk about the chair that belonged to the old lady earlier? Now that the old lady said that the thing was mine, it would be impolite of Zihan to refuse. I also hope that the elders will not miss it anymore.”
"Of course, if everyone is going to say that the old lady can't keep her words because of dementia, then don't mention the old lady. We can talk about the facts. This chair was discovered by my family, so it's naturally not up to others to think about it.”
After Mo Zihan finished speaking, she smiled slightly and picked up the small clay pot of wine that Wang Yan had brought with her. With a flick of her thumb, she opened the bottle cap and poured a glass of wine into her own glass. She stood up and raised her glass with both hands." Everyone is an elder. A few days ago, if I offended you because of the chair, Zihan drank this glass to apologize. Let's put this matter behind us. If anyone mentions it again in the future, don't blame Zihan for being ruthless.”
After saying that, she raised her head and finished the wine in her glass. It was a full three taels of white wine.
Everyone looked at each other. No one had expected the daughter of the fourth son to say such a thing. Regardless of whether Mo Zihan's last sentence made them feel embarrassed, what she said earlier was reasonable and clear. In the end, she even cleared the air with a glass of wine. She was calm and polite, and her words were sonorous and accurate. She used both hard and soft tactics. She was not inferior to the third son Mo Junyi who had been in the underworld for many years, right?
At the very least, the Mo Duan and Mo Zheng brothers among the younger generation would never raise their glasses and say such words even if they were beaten to death.
Wang Yan was also stunned by Mo Zihan's change. Then, she curled her lips in disdain. She was a child and a junior. What right did she have to speak to the elders like this?
Mo Zihan ignored her and turned to his parents." Dad, Mom, I think we should call it a day."”
Mo Junbao also stared at his daughter with his eyes wide open at first, but he quickly understood what she meant. He stood up and said," Alright, alright. This meal will end here. Zihan's words are quite clear. Let's use the old lady's words to let this matter pass. Whoever mentions it again in the future will have bad intentions!"”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
The old lady also put down her chopsticks and stood up. Mo Zihan saw that her legs were not very agile, so he continued to help her out.
Wang Fengying sat on the chair in a daze. Then, she revealed a surprised smile. She quickly stood up and walked out. Her daughter had really grown up. She was really promising!
In the past, during family gatherings, other children would only know how to pour wine for the elders or say a few words of joy to buy the wine. Their daughter would just sit there quietly. How could these elders take notice of her? No one had ever taken the daughter of their fourth son seriously!
Who would have thought that when they encountered such a big matter today, those children would all sit in their seats in a daze and not dare to speak. Only his daughter's words were sonorous and forceful to end the matter!
His daughter had said it so well. This matter was over…
