Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Snatching the Steamed Bun (Happy New Year)

Mo Daoyan: "Mother, there are plenty of steamed buns, let me first give my wife two to eat; she’s almost starving."

Despite being a man and considered the backbone of the Mo family, Mo Daoyan, who usually did not worry about food and drink, naturally could not understand Madam Ruan’s anxious feelings.

"Your father and I are almost starving to death, and all you care about is your wife," Old Lady Mo said with an ugly expression. After speaking, she turned her head, seemingly looking at Old Master Mo, but in fact, her words carried an indirect criticism: "Old man, there’s a saying, ’A grown son is not bound by his mother, gets a wife and forgets his mother!’"

Old Master Mo: "Who’s to blame? Isn’t it all from following your example? Have you forgotten how you used to treat your own mother?"

In their youth, the same words had been spoken by Old Master Mo’s mother, the ancestor of the Mo family.

Thus, as soon as Old Lady Mo spoke, Old Master Mo immediately retorted sharply.

Indeed, ever since he married Old Lady Mo, he had listened to her in everything, never daring to disobey even slightly. For some reason, after enduring it all his life, recently he felt somewhat fed up, gradually growing indifferent and disheartened towards Old Lady Mo, no longer indulging her as before.

Present were Mo Daoyan’s family of four, including two children, who upon hearing this, all covered their mouths and snickered.

Seizing the moment, Mo Daoyan shared the steamed buns from the basket with Madam Ruan and their two kids.

Originally wanting to put Madam Ruan in her place to show that seniors must be respected and she couldn’t disregard the rules set by her mother-in-law, who would have thought that Old Master Mo wouldn’t give her any face at all, exposing the truth in front of the younger generation, causing Old Lady Mo to become furiously embarrassed.

"You dead old man, I’m educating the younger generation here, and you undermine me like this?" Old Lady Mo was livid, not even noticing Mo Daoyan’s family devouring the steamed buns, and she started scolding Old Master Mo harshly.

Facing Old Lady Mo’s endless berating, Old Master Mo chose to let it go in one ear and out the other.

Seeing his younger son’s family enjoying their food, he couldn’t resist any longer. He too was starving. Thus, he shakily stood up, slowly walked over to Mo Daoyan, squatted down, picked up two big steamed buns from the basket, and fiercely began eating.

"Ah! You dead old man, so when I talk to you, you pretend you can’t hear?" Old Lady Mo gasped for air in anger. As she turned her head, preparing to continue scolding Old Master Mo, suddenly, she saw everyone present was voraciously biting into their steamed buns.

"All of you, really driving me to my grave."

Old Lady Mo also walked over to the basket, ready to eat her fill before dealing with them. To her surprise, when she lifted the white cloth, the basket was completely empty, not a single steamed bun left.

Old Master Mo stood to the side, holding two big steamed buns, vigorously munching.

Old Lady Mo, furious to the extreme, went forward and snatched the steamed buns, took a fierce bite, and muttered with her mouth full, "You dead old man, you ate everything without leaving one for me."

After eating the steamed buns, they all began to worry again. The house could be shabby, and they could manage, but without blankets, how would they sleep tonight?

"How about, I go and argue with that brat Xuexue?" Old Lady Mo, after finishing eating and scolding enough, wiped her mouth and said.

Mo Daoyan: "The General’s Mansion is huge! Whether we can find her or not is another matter."

He had just gone out to find food and almost got lost himself. Fortunately, he met a kind maid on the way who gave him a basket of steamed buns, solving an urgent need.
