Chapter 17: The Idea to Make Money
This time, everyone was stunned, and Mo Guowei couldn’t believe as he looked at Ding Yuejun.
"You actually dared to hit me."
Ding Yuejun stared at Mo Guowei hatefully and said, "Why wouldn’t I dare? You’ve swollen Yiyi’s face, I wish I could swell your face on both sides."
Hearing her mother’s words, Yiyi was filled with emotion.
Her mother had always protected her, and now she was rebelling against her father for her sake.
However, Mo Guowei was so angry that his face turned black.
"Well, Ding Yuejun, so all your previous obedience was fake. I guess you have a short memory and forgot how I disciplined you before. Today, I’ll make you remember well and understand who is the master of this house."
Mo Xiaohong finally came to her senses, hurriedly stepped in front of Ding Yuejun.
"Dad, if you want to hit anyone, hit me. Shanshan is entered into the household registry under my name, so it’s not mom’s issue."
Mo Guowei snorted coldly and said, "Since you’re all asking for a beating, then I won’t miss any of you later."
"Bang..."
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was deafening, and when everyone came to their senses, they saw Mo Guowei lying on the ground, limbs spread out.
Mo Xiaohong was shocked, then looked at her sister who had just withdrawn her hand and asked blankly, "Yiyi, you... you actually threw Dad to the ground?"
Yiyi nodded directly and said, "Yes, since Dad wants to hit us, should we just let him do it?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Guowei lay on the ground, resentfully looking at his youngest daughter.
He wanted to shout a few words but was utterly powerless. At this moment, he only felt pain all over, unable to shout or even get up.
"Mo Yiyi, you... you actually dared to hit your father."
"So what if I did?"
For Yiyi, her heart was now hard as stone, and she didn’t believe her parents had the final say; she only acknowledged right and wrong.
"You..."
Seeing his youngest daughter’s frosty face and the icy indifference in her eyes, Mo Guowei shuddered unexpectedly, feeling a chill in his heart. This youngest daughter seemed truly different from before; such an expression was somewhat frightening.
But when Mo Guowei snapped back to reality, he was slightly embarrassed and angry. He’d been intimidated by his own daughter — how could he manage them in the future?
"Yiyi, first help your father up."
Ding Yuejun saw Mo Guowei like this and was really worried that Yiyi might have hurt him. If that were the case, her daughter would certainly be criticized, so she hurriedly asked Yiyi to help him up.
Yiyi stood still.
Although she loathed the Mo family and her biological father, Mo Guowei, she controlled her strength so that this fall would only make him suffer a bit without causing any substantial harm.
Seeing Yiyi unmoving, Mo Xiaohong quickly stepped forward to help Mo Guowei up, "Dad, are you alright."
Mo Guowei slowly stood up and brushed off his eldest daughter’s hand, "You don’t have to pretend to care."
Watching her hand being brushed aside, Mo Xiaohong bit her lip and said nothing in the end.
"What happened, why are you all standing here?"
Old Mrs. Mo entered and saw the whole family gathered together and frowned immediately, intuiting that something had happened.
"Mom, you’re back."
Seeing her eldest son rubbing his back, Old Mrs. Mo couldn’t help but ask, "Guowei, what’s the matter with you?"
"Hmph... What else, got messed up by Mo Yiyi, this little troublemaker." Thinking of the fall earlier, Mo Guowei felt gloomy again.
Old Mrs. Mo couldn’t help but look at Yiyi with full disdain.
When Ding Yuejun heard her husband call their daughter such names, she angrily glared at him, then took Yiyi and the others directly back to the room, ignoring Old Mrs. Mo.
"Guowei, look at your wife, she saw me and didn’t even greet me. What are they up to, the mother and daughters trio?"
Mo Guowei was exhausted by now, "Mom, she even dared to steal the household registry, what wouldn’t she dare?"
"What do you mean stealing the household registry?"
Old Mrs. Mo quickly asked and, upon hearing that Shanshan was already registered to their family, flew into a rage.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yiyi and the others sat quietly in the room.
Mo Xiaohong looked at Ding Yuejun, and then at Yiyi, saying, "Mom, Yiyi, I plan to go work in another place temporarily. Could you help take care of Shanshan for a while? I’ll send you the money I earn directly."
Hearing this, Yiyi was completely surprised.
"Sis, when did you have this idea? Isn’t it good for us to be together as a family? You don’t have to go work in another place."
At this moment, Yiyi was full of fear. She hadn’t expected that even though her sister was divorced early, even though Shanshan was successfully registered, her sister still wanted to go work abroad like in the previous life.
Back then, it was the endless work that led to her sister’s death from overwork.
Could it be that despite everything she did, she couldn’t change the course of destiny?
Thinking of this, Yiyi suddenly felt a chill in her heart. If nothing she did mattered, what was the point of trying so hard?
No...
My destiny is in my own hands, not determined by fate. It can be changed, and besides, my sister hasn’t gone abroad yet.
"Sis, you really don’t need to work abroad."
Beside her, Ding Yuejun also advised, "Yes, Xiaohong, even if you want to work, you don’t necessarily have to go abroad. Can’t you earn money in town too?"
Upon hearing this, Yiyi’s eyes lit up.
Yes, work can be found in town too. If her sister insists on working, she can work in town.
Mo Xiaohong was also stunned by this, then slapped her forehead and said, "Oh right, earning money is the same wherever." But by the end, she hesitated a bit, "But... I’ve heard you earn more abroad."
"Sis, what made you suddenly want to earn money?"
In the past, it was the Jiang Family who proposed this, but she didn’t expect her sister to have the idea in this life.
Talking about it, Mo Xiaohong pursed her lips and finally said, "I just want to earn money, so that even if Shanshan lives here, Grandma and the rest won’t have anything to say."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but shake her head, feeling that Xiaohong and her daughter had it tough.
While Yiyi directly said, "Sis, don’t mind Grandma and the others."
At the same time, she also had the idea of earning money; she needed to put some things aside for now and wait until she earned her first paycheck, thoroughly dispelling her sister’s idea of working abroad.
When the next day arrived, Yiyi directly grabbed a basket and a small shovel, preparing to go up the back mountain to dig herbs to sell.
"Sis, you really don’t need to work abroad. I’ll earn money properly, and I’ll first explore a bit today. If there are many herbs up the mountain, we can dig them together in the future."
Mo Xiaohong hurriedly stopped her, "Yiyi, you should stay home and study well. These aren’t things you should worry about."
