Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Directly Carry Back Home Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Directly Carry Back Home “Auntie Mo, what do you think…?”

The village head glanced at Xuexue and then at Old Lady Mo, his face marked with difficulty. In his heart, neither was someone he could afford to offend.

Old Lady Mo was notoriously troublesome in Mo Family Village, and the last time Xuexue generously gave him six hundred taels of silver when she went to the County Yamen to claim a reward for catching a tiger. Because of this silver, his son, Mo Shaoxing, was able to continue his studies and prepare for the imperial examinations, hoping to honor his ancestors by becoming a Juren.

Old Lady Mo turned her face away, “I don’t care, this old maid just won’t deal with this wretched girl.

“In truth, she very well knew that Xuexue was shrewd, and every time, Xuexue got the better of her, making it more likely to win an argument with Madam Xie.

Neither Old Lady Mo nor Xuexue was willing to give in, and the situation became deadlocked.

“Old maid, what is this fuss about?” Suddenly, a booming voice came from the entrance.

Everyone turned their heads only to see it was Old Master Mo.

Old Master Mo leaned on his cane and pushed through the crowd, striding in.

“You dead old man, what are you doing here? Go on, get out, go back home at once.” Old Lady Mo immediately sensed trouble as Old Master Mo appeared.

Recently, Old Master Mo had been protecting Madam Xie and her daughter in every way. Old Lady Mo was well aware of this, so she quickly demanded him to leave as soon as he showed up.

“With you making such a scene, the whole village is in uproar. How could I not come and see?” Old Master Mo walked up to her, trying to pull Old Lady Mo to her feet.

“Get lost, who asked you to come!” Old Lady Mo shook off Old Master Mo with great force.

“You foolish woman, don’t be ungrateful.” Old Master Mo grew angry as well, tapping his cane loudly on the ground, and under the watchful eyes of all, Old Lady Mo actually showed no respect for her husband.

“How so? How so? What if I am ungrateful?” Old Lady Mo, having been respected in the Mo family for so many years and always spoiled by Old Master Mo, had never been yelled at by him. In recent times, Old Master Mo had uncharacteristically defied her, and Old Lady Mo had long harbored resentment. At this moment, it exploded, and she leaped up from the ground like a wolf lunging at Old Master Mo…

Caught off guard, Old Master Mo was knocked down to the ground in an instant.

Old Lady Mo, as if venting her anger, lay on top of Old Master Mo and, with her claw-like hands, furiously scratched at his face. In moments, Old Master Mo’s face was bloodied.

This sudden turn of events happened in an instant.

“Ay, yi, yi! Eunuch, eunuch.” Madam Xie, coming to her senses, cried out in horror. Turning her head, she anxiously called out to Xuexue, “Xuexue, Xuexue, hurry and pull your grandmother away, don’t let her hurt your grandfather.”

Astonished by the ferocity of Old Lady Mo, the neighbors were all stunned.

The old woman usually complained of back pain from walking too much, yet now, she was striking her own husband with such vicious force, it made them all shiver.

They were fighting among themselves, and Xuexue was initially reluctant to intervene, but seeing Old Master Mo covered in blood, she couldn’t bear it and, along with the village head, stepped in to pull Old Lady Mo away.

“You dead old man, it serves you right for not siding with your own. I should just beat you to death.” Old Lady Mo was being pulled by the village head and Xuexue, one on each side, yet she still was not peaceful, baring her teeth and swinging her fists and feet at Old Master Mo.

Old Lady Mo was being completely unreasonable.

The village head was very annoyed; he straightforwardly called two villagers over and took Old Lady Mo away.

Old Lady Mo had not yet achieved her goal and naturally refused to go willingly.

“You worthless brats, let go of my wife at once.” As they reached the doorway, Old Lady Mo clung tenaciously to the threshold, refusing to let go.

In the end, the village head called over a few women to directly carry Old Lady Mo back to the Mo family home.
