Chapter 515: No Need To Talk, Thrash Him First
The more Grandma Mo thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!
“We’ll kidnap his wife and her entire family. Then Beihan will certainly come home. If he doesn’t come, he’ll worry that the little Gu girl will be bullied without his support! And then there are all those children. If they come, our Mo family’s oldest daughter-in-law will certainly plot against them.
“When the Gu family arrives in the capital, Beihan will have influence and connections. Then with the Ji family and our protection, he won’t have to worry.”
Old Master Mo smiled at his wife’s excited expression. “All right, all right, all right! I’ll think of a way to move everyone who can be transferred here. I will certainly find a way to get your eldest grandson, granddaughter-in-law, and all your great-grandsons here to the capital to meet you. All right?”
“That’s more like it!”
Grandma Mo was elated.
Old Master Mo glanced at the time and said, “It’s late in the afternoon. Go and have a nap. You must rest in the afternoon so you won’t tire yourself out.”
Grandma Mo was still immersed in delight! When she heard the Old Master’s words, she said with a smile, “Sure, I’ll go and rest. But not now! I probably can’t sleep.”
Old Master Mo was amused. “Even if you can’t sleep, you can lie down. You don’t have to sleep in order to rest.”
“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll go now. I must take care of myself and live a few more years until our Beihan’s children are born. Hahaha!”
Grandma Mo happily prepared to leave for her afternoon nap, then she halted abruptly.
“Wait, I still have to thrash that beast.”
When Grandma Mo remembered how her eldest son had caused her grandsons and great-grandsons to suffer so much, she was immediately enraged. She immediately started down the stairs to beat him.
Grandfather Mo was sitting on the sofa. He saw that Grandma Mo was about to take a rest and he was ready to move to his office desk to deal with some matters. Then he saw his wife rush away angrily to administer a beating.
Old Master Mo was shocked!
“Oi, wife, don’t run. You might sprain your back. I’ll beat him up for you…”
Old Master Mo helped Grandma Mo down the stairs, just in time to see Mo Huai come home in a drunken stupor. Grandma Mo was instantly furious. “Where have you been fooling around this time?”
Mo Huai was drunk and did not notice how angry his mother was. He replied, “I drank a little. Today, I was in a go-good mood, so… so I drank a little more hahaha”
Then he laughed foolishly.
Grandma Mo almost exploded in fury.
He had abandoned his wife so many years ago to return alone. But he had never wondered how his two sons were doing?
Or thought of how hard his life used to be and wondered if his children had survived?
Instead, he had heartlessly enjoyed himself.
Grandma Mo was deeply disappointed with his indifference. She lost her patience with this son.
She grabbed a nearby feather duster and rushed at Mo Huai and struck him with it.
The living room once again rang with wild shrieks and howls.

Qing River Brigade
Time passed slowly. The weather slowly turned warm after the new year. Under Gu Qingyao’s careful nursing, Old Master Guo and Lin Wanyin had slowly regained their health.
When the spring planting began, they could work in the fields to earn work points so that they would have food in the future.
At their age, they thought that they would die in desperate straits, but they had unexpectedly run into old friends at the Qing River Brigade.
Although life was still hard, they were in better spirits.
Lin Wanyin liked whatever she saw of Gu Qingyao, the pretty little girl who bustled about them all day.
