Chapter 393: Chapter 393 The Richest Man Chapter 393: Chapter 393 The Richest Man Especially Mo Hengjian, since his childhood in the Mo family, he had been considered above others, harboring a deep sense of superiority. He spoke louder than anyone else just because he was the only male in the Mo family. Old Lady Mo doted on him in every way, indulging him. Over time, his nature had become increasingly selfish. He knew that as long as he pleased Old Lady Mo at home, he would enjoy good days ahead, and he rarely paid any attention to his own parents.

Now, upon hearing that the person he had once looked down upon had become the wealthiest in Mo Family Village, he felt displeased.

Indeed, before Madam Xie and her daughter had been almost like servants to him, not daring to raise their heads, afraid of upsetting the precious treasure of Old Lady Mo’s heart and facing a beating or scolding.

“Grandmother, the big aunt and her family have so much money, they couldn’t spend it all in a lifetime, right? Why don’t you ask them to give me a little to go to the Academy? With silver, your grandson will live comfortably outside, and you will have peace of mind, right?” Mo Hengjian urged while cooing, shaking Old Lady Mo’s arm.

At this very moment, Old Lady Mo felt very jealous inside.

Those damned wretches, that was ten thousand taels of Silver!

To think it went into those lowly bones’ pockets, such a waste. That Silver should have been for her dear grandson to study at the Academy.

Thus, unable to even eat her breakfast, she led Mo Daoyan and his whole family and stormed over to the Li Family.

Xuexue coldly glanced at them and said, “Everyone in the Mo Family Village knows that Big Bull killed the tiger. I accompanied him to the County Yamen to claim the reward! Uncle Village Chief was also there; if you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

Old Lady Mo, driven by jealousy, said, “I heard that you even gave several hundred taels of Silver to the village head. I am your grandmother, shouldn’t you show some filial piety to your grandmother too?”

Xuexue scoffed, “Which eye of yours saw me giving Silver to him? That is Big Bull’s Silver. If you have the capability, ask him for it.”

Old Lady Mo couldn’t help but scream, “The whole village is already talking about it, and you still dare to lie to me?”

Mo Hengjian, who had been standing beside Old Lady Mo, also spoke up. However, his tone was as haughty as ever, “Sister Xuexue, you said that you received so much reward money. Giving a little bit to grandmother won’t hurt, right? We’re all family after all, why must we make our relationship so tense?”

Spreading her hands, Xuexue sharply retorted, “I would like to give her some, but it’s not my Silver. How can I give it to her? Are you suggesting I steal Big Bull’s Silver? Is that what you think a scholar should endorse?”

Hearing Xuexue’s words, Mo Hengjian’s face instantly fell, thinking, When had this damn girl become so sharp-tongued? She used to not even dare lift her head in front of me; when did she get so eloquent?

Before Mo Hengjian could speak, Old Lady Mo started screaming, cursing loudly, “You damned girl, are you trying to ruin my grandson’s reputation? Are you tired of living?” As she spoke, she raised her hand to hit her.

Big Bull, quick and strong, grabbed her wrist tightly, his voice cold and harsh, “Old hag, have you been comfortable for so long that your skin is beginning to itch again?”

The sudden grip by Big Bull left Old Lady Mo, frail as she was, crying out in pain, “Ah…! It hurts, it’s killing me, let go of me at once.”

Lately, Big Bull’s temperament had improved significantly; he wasn’t as hot-headed as before, no longer throwing people out at the slightest provocation. This had reduced their fear of him, emboldening them to come and cause trouble.

The moment Big Bull laid hands on her, they remembered just how frightening he could be, and were terrified out of their wits.

Releasing his grip, Big Bull said, “Get out of here, and if you cause any more trouble around here, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
