chapter xxviii
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Wang Fengying rushed out of the house." Zihan, why are you so late?”
"I went out for a while with Xiao You.”Mo Zihan answered.
Wang Fengying nodded and didn't say anything else." I'll heat up some food for you. Take a bite and go in to do your homework."”As he spoke, he turned on the small lamp in the courtyard. The light bulb hanging on the pillar emitted a bright light.
Mo Zihan smiled." Mom, I'll do it myself."”Actually, she really hadn't eaten her fill just now.
Mo Zihan rolled up his sleeves and started to stir fry the leftovers under the cover. He also scooped a bowl of rice for himself.
The old lady slowly walked out of the house and sat quietly at the table.
Mo Zihan smiled and asked," Would you like some?"”
The old lady shook her head and sat there quietly.
Mo Zihan scooped out the dishes, took the bowl of rice, and sat on the table. She started eating.
The old lady picked up a clean pair of chopsticks and put food in Mo Zihan's bowl from time to time, watching her eat.
It seemed that accompanying Mo Zihan to eat wasn't a boring thing.
"It's quite boring to stay at home, isn't it?”Mo Zihan looked up at the old man while eating.
"What can an old man do if he doesn't stay at home?”The old lady seemed to smile.
Mo Zihan smiled and said," I'll go home early after school tomorrow. I'll take you to the river in Lancheng."”
The old lady nodded.
Mo Zihan knew that she didn't want to go back to the house, because she would be squeezed into a small room with Mo Junbao and his wife, watching TV on the bed. It was better to eat with Mo Zihan in the courtyard.
After dinner, Mo Zihan swiftly washed the dishes and chopsticks before helping the old lady back to her room.
Mo Zihan was doing his homework at the side while the old lady was fanning herself. It was still a little stuffy in Lan City in September, especially in the small room. It was extremely stuffy.
There was no electric fan in Mo Zihan's room, so he could only leave the window open.
On the other end, Mo Junbao received a call from his boss, Mo Junqiang. When he learned that Mo Junyi was seriously injured and hospitalized, he rushed to the hospital with Wang Fengying.
After his parents left, Mo Zihan turned to look at the old man and saw a trace of worry on his face.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Mo Zihan said.
The old man raised his head and looked at her, revealing a kind smile." In our Mo family, your third uncle is the most capable, and he is also the most loyal. God bless him."”
"Then why aren't you at Third Uncle's house, but Eldest Uncle's?”Mo Zihan didn't have a good impression of the three uncles.
The old lady smiled and said in an old voice," Your third aunt is very capable. Even your third uncle has to listen to her. Why would an old man like me make things difficult for her?”
"She's not willing to support you?" Mo Zihan asked. This was her first time chatting with the old lady.
The old lady shook her head." She didn't say anything. Back then, it was your aunt who insisted on taking me over because she wanted my valuable items.”
Mo Zihan looked at her in confusion. Actually, she was also a little curious about the Mo family, but unfortunately, there was no one to talk to her.
"Can you tell me about the Mo family? I can't remember anything from the past.”Mo Zihan put down the pen and turned around.
The old lady smiled and sat cross-legged on the bed. She waved her fan and said," What do you want to hear?”
"Anything is fine."
"In the Mo family, your grandfather's younger brother was an officer in the Kuomingtang. He went to Taiwan with Jiang Jingguo. Later, when he was liberated, he often brought some gold and silver jewelry back to visit his relatives. Compared to Taiwan, our country was like a wasteland back then. We were so poor!”
"The gold there is cheap, so your uncle often brings back some gold. He gives your first uncle's gold ingots, your second uncle's gold earrings, your third uncle's gold rings, and a small bell to your family. Your mother should have been saving it for you.”
"I have quite a lot of gold jewelry in my hands. Before your grandfather passed away, your aunt was sensible and came to help me with the housework every day. When your grandfather is hospitalized, no one in the family is as scheming as your aunt. She's the only one who stays by the hospital bed every day to take care of the old man. After the old man left, all his things were left to your uncle's family.”
"Once your grandfather leaves, the family will be separated. Our relationship with Taiwan will also slowly be cut off. I'm the only one who still has some good things. However, your auntie is very considerate and brought them home for me.”
"Your second aunt is honest and doesn't have such a crooked heart. Your third aunt is a little arrogant and can't be bothered to spread rumors. Your mother is a person who lives a steady life. She was also a girl from a good family back then.”
"Back then, your third uncle liked to cause trouble in society. Your third aunt is a distant cousin of the current Shi family. She helped your third uncle a lot, so they got together. Now that everyone was living their own lives, they had less and less contact. Meeting each other during the holidays was cold!”
The old lady rambled on. Perhaps it had been a long time since she had chatted with anyone, but she could not stop talking.
"Speaking of our Old Mo family, it can be said to be simple and complicated. Regardless of whether you are Zihan or not, I can see that you have a good heart.”The old lady quickly looked up at her and lowered her head.
Mo Zihan had been listening carefully, but when she heard this, her pupils constricted in surprise and then she smiled." What are you talking about?"”
Old Mrs. Han waved her hand." Life is destined. I don't believe that a silly little girl like her can become a completely different person after a beating." After living for so long, she looked at things differently from them! However, I don't care what's going on. I know that the blood flowing in your body is the blood of my Mo family!”
Mo Zihan fell silent. Even the old lady could tell that she was not Mo Zihan. It seemed that her guess was not groundless.
It turned out that the old lady had deliberately told him everything about the Mo family.
At night, Mo Zihan asked the old lady to sleep in his room so that Mo Junbao and his wife would not disturb the old lady when they came back in the middle of the night.
In the next few days, Mo Zihan learned from her mother that Third Uncle Mo Junyi was still unconscious in the hospital, but he had passed the critical period.
The demolition was also getting more and more intense. Many residents in the surrounding area had moved out after coordination. In order to get more money, Mo Junbao had already rejected the various conditions given by the other party for the umpteenth time. He wanted to be a nail house and stay here.
Mo Zihan heard that forced demolition was very popular in Lan City. Many of the holdout households were secretly retaliated by the government because of this. He was also a little worried.
