Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Making Trouble Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Making Trouble Everyone had not yet sat down when Old Lady Mo arrived with her two sons, but curiously, Old Master Mo did not accompany them.

“Aunties, it’s time to eat! My granddaughter is building a new house, and as her grandmother, I must show some face and come to help out. Just so happens, we haven’t eaten either!”

Old Lady Mo said, taking a seat at the table with the airs of the hostess, swinging her arms grandly as she did so.

The Mo family members also had a carnivorous gleam in their eyes as they intently stared at the meat dishes on the table and eagerly took their seats, thinking to themselves that Madam Xie really struck it rich this time, not only able to build a nice house but also to eat meat every day, and even providing such good meals to the workers.

“Mother-in-law, Xuexue really should know better, providing such good meals to outsiders, why hasn’t she thought about taking some back to the Mo family to honor you and Eunuch, the two old folks!” Auntie Sun seized the opportunity to stir up trouble, secretly convinced that Xuexue had stolen her gold and silver jewelry, and moreover, this wretched girl had bitten off one of her ears–she would never let this go for the rest of her life.

“If there’s food, just eat, why all the nonsense?”

Old Lady Mo glared fiercely at her, still angry about the incident yesterday when she knocked out Auntie Sun and got scolded by Mo Xiaoqiang. Saying she almost killed her, then why did she eagerly come along when hearing about a meal at Madam Xie’s place, acting all foxy, just to bewitch her son with her scheming.

Auntie Sun grew silent after being scolded by Old Lady Mo. Indeed, after being beaten by Old Lady Mo yesterday, her back was in terrible pain. However, hearing that there was meat to be had here, she hastily followed Mo Xiaoqiang. In the past, she wouldn’t care for such, but ever since marrying into the Mo family, she was fed up with eating mere vegetables every day, and watching Old Lady Mo and the others enjoy meat was enough to drive her mad with craving.

Seeing this large group of people occupying all the seats at the table, the masons’ faces turned sour. This meal was supposed to be for them, and here the Mo family had the sheer audacity to swoop in on their meal.

“What are you all doing standing there like idiots? Hurry up and serve some rice for me, your old lady,” Old Lady Mo commanded the few women who were helping to cook, as if she owned the place.

“Yes, yes, serve us quickly! Once we finish, we still need to go back for our nap,” Madam Ruan said with a sycophantic grin, baring her teeth in a smile.

The women helping with the cooking also wore difficult expressions, suddenly unsure of what to do. Ignoring them wasn’t an option, as they were Xuexue’s genuine relatives. On the other hand, if they served them, the working masters would go hungry, and if Xuexue were to blame them, they couldn’t bear that responsibility.

“Oh my, what to do? Xuexue took food back home for Aunt Li just now,” the cooking women whispered to each other in huddled concern.

Looking at the food on the table, with no chopsticks to pick it up, they certainly couldn’t use their hands, could they? The Mo family members swallowed hard, and Old Lady Mo, growing impatient, turned and shouted: “What are you muttering about? Quick, bring over chopsticks and bowls, do you want to starve this old woman to death?”

“What do we do now?” The panicked women buzzed around, with the working masters waiting eagerly beside, having worked hard all morning and now famished.

“Hey! There’s Big Bull! Quickly, call Big Bull over,” someone finally remembered Big Bull.

“He was just here a moment ago, where could he have gone off to?” Everyone looked around, searching for Big Bull.

Just at that moment, Big Bull emerged from somewhere, calling out loudly, “Who’s looking for me?”
