Chapter 51: Mr. Lu
Knowing that Hai Rong is getting married, Yue Jun’s face also turned grim. But since she had known this for a while, she quickly composed herself, "From now on, whatever happens with Hai Rong has nothing to do with us. Shanshan and Xiao Hong will always live with us."
"Yes, I want to live with Grandma forever, I don’t want Dad."
Ever since Mo Shan could remember, Hai Rong had always been cold and indifferent to her. Sometimes he would even scold her, not to mention Old Mrs. Jiang, her grandmother, who would reprimand her without any restraint. Therefore, Mo Shan had little affection for the Jiang family and not much emotional connection to her biological father, Hai Rong. After all, children naturally grow close to those who show them affection, and she felt no attachment to someone who showed her none, not even having ever held her.
Upon hearing Mo Shan’s words, Yue Jun nodded seriously and said, "Alright, we will live together forever."
Weng Taixiang heard this and, looking at the three generations of women, couldn’t help but smile slightly, "Actually, you all living by yourselves is quite nice, much easier than being in the Mo family. At least you don’t have to do work for others anymore."
Yue Jun also smiled slightly.
"Yes, now our life is a lot easier."
Seeing that they were indeed doing well, Weng Taixiang felt happy for them. However, recalling the recent big events in the Mo family, she couldn’t help but bring it up.
"Have you heard? Guoping’s family is going to build a house. It’s surprising his wife made so much money from her small restaurant." By the end of her statement, Weng Taixiang’s eyes showed a bit of envy. After all, not many families could afford to build a house nowadays.
Yue Jun was a bit surprised, but after the initial shock, her expression turned calm. She despised Qian Yafen, and she no longer cared about anything concerning the Mo family. So whether or not the Mo family was building a house didn’t concern her.
"I just found out, but everything about the Mo family is unrelated to us now. But... is all the money for building the house provided by Qian Yafen?"
Every time she thought about what Qian Yafen did to her daughter, Yue Jun’s heart filled with rage. So she didn’t care about anyone else, she only cared about Qian Yafen.
Hearing Yue Jun’s words, Weng Taixiang nodded, "Yes, she paid for it. I heard she initially lent two thousand to her eldest brother, then went back to her maternal home to take back one thousand for building the house. Her sister-in-law now holds resentment towards her."
Yue Jun gave a cold smile, "She deserved it. Who told her to let Old Mrs. Mo find out about her store?"
"Yeah, so this time my sister-in-law is making all sorts of demands. I heard that once Guoping’s family’s house is built, the elders are all going to move in. The house isn’t even built yet, and my sister-in-law has already chosen the room, claiming the biggest one."
Thinking of Old Mrs. Mo’s behavior, Weng Taixiang couldn’t even bear to look at her.
And upon hearing all this, Yue Jun’s mood unexpectedly lightened. It seemed that Qian Yafen would be quite busy in the future.
Even Yiyi felt happy, thinking that Old Mrs. Mo and Qian Yafen could just go on arguing with each other from now on.
After Weng Taixiang finished sharing what she knew, she said goodbye to Yue Jun and the others.
"Alright, you guys go buy vegetables; I’m off to do some shopping too."
"Okay, auntie, goodbye then."
Yue Jun and Yiyi waved goodbye to Weng Taixiang.
After Yiyi got home, her eyes were cold. She had been so busy moving to the town that she almost forgot about Li Xue’er and Mo Yougen. Since those two wanted to cause her trouble, she might as well create some trouble for them too. Besides, Mo Yougen was not as honest and good-natured as he appeared; in fact, he was a complete scoundrel.
Thinking about this, Yiyi came up with a plan.
The next day, Yiyi didn’t go to the Jiang family. Instead, she told Yue Jun she was going to go out.
"Yiyi, come back soon."
After hearing this, Yiyi naturally nodded, "Okay."
Earlier, she told her mother she was going to the street to buy books, so her mother didn’t ask many questions, saving her a lot of explaining. However, she wasn’t actually going to buy books, but rather planned to visit Luwei Village to find Mo Bajin. As she thought about it, it seemed Mo Bajin was the only one she could use to apply some pressure; there was no one else available.
At this moment, Yiyi couldn’t help but sigh at the trouble of having no one to rely on.
But as soon as she left town, Yiyi stopped in her tracks.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the person in front quarreling with someone was Mo Yougen.
Seeing this, Yiyi naturally didn’t continue forward but quietly moved closer to the front. As she got nearer, she vaguely heard sounds of arguing.
"Mo Yougen, doesn’t your conscience bother you after all these years?"
The speaker was an elderly man. To Yiyi’s surprise, it was someone she recognized, Mr. Lu from Luwei Village.
The Lu Family was prominent in Luwei Village, with half the village carrying the Lu surname and the other half mostly Mo. However, she vaguely heard before that the Lu Family were the original natives of Luwei Village, while the Mo family moved in later. Yet, in recent years, the Mo family had been growing, while the Lu Family gradually declined.
In an instant, Yiyi thought a lot but couldn’t understand what was worth arguing between Mr. Lu and Mo Yougen. After all, Mo Yougen’s family and the Lu family were very close. She heard that Mr. Lu’s eldest son, who had passed away long ago, was Mo Yougen’s best friend, so close they could share a pair of pants.
"Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? I don’t understand a word you’re saying."
Seeing Mr. Lu’s agitated demeanor, Mo Yougen’s expression was full of confusion. His tone carried pure concern, demonstrating his respect and affection for Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu, who was initially very agitated, suddenly calmed down upon seeing Mo Yougen like this. He chuckled coldly, "Mo Yougen, I must say, you are quite capable. Even now, you can remain so calm. It goes to show how steadfast your resolve is. You’re truly frightening, making people shiver. It’s my fault for not stopping my eldest from becoming close with you back then. If you two weren’t acquainted, maybe what happened afterward wouldn’t have occurred."
"Mr. Lu, I know even after all these years, you’re still thinking about A Chang. But A Chang is no longer here. You should let it go and in the future, I will continue to honor you on his behalf." As Mo Yougen spoke, he reached out to support Mr. Lu.
However, Mr. Lu repeatedly stepped back, directly avoiding Mo Yougen.
"Mo Yougen, stop dodging with your sweet words. I know everything about what happened ten years ago. A Chang didn’t just have an accident; you killed him. You’re a murderer." At the end, Mr. Lu’s face was full of hatred.
Mo Yougen looked utterly shocked.
"Mr. Lu, what are you talking about?"
"Mo Yougen, stop showing that disgusting face of yours. I must have been out of my mind to only recently find out the truth, but it’s not too late. I will make sure a murderer like you pays for it with your life."
