Chapter 612: Get Married Quickly (2)
Mo Beihan looked at the kids and spoke solemnly, “Let me ask you all a question: When Grandma was in the countryside, did she suffer?”
The kids responded at once, “Yes!”
“Why did Grandma suffer so much then?”
The kids were taken aback, seeming to be unable to word their thoughts. Only Mo Chengrui replied, “Because she has to take care of us. Grandma was all on her own, but she had to raise the few of us.”
“That’s right! It’s because of us. Young Uncle, when you are not at home, it was really tough for Grandma to take care of us alone. She always did not bear to eat or wear well and all the food she scrimped on was given to Brother and me while she starved,” Mo Chengxu echoed hurriedly.
Mo Beihan nodded. “That’s right. Grandma has suffered too much in the past. Not only did she have to keep herself alive, she still had to raise all of you. But there’s no need now.”
“Now, there’s me. I will take care of you all. Furthermore, you all belong to the Mo family. It’s a given for the Mo family to raise you all. Now that we’ve come to the Mo family, Grandma can lead more comfortably and do what she wants to do. She will not need to worry whether you all have enough food to eat and clothes to wear, nor will she need to cook for you all and wash your clothes every day, much less scrimp on food for you all to eat.
“So, it’s a good thing to grandma that we came to the Mo family. You all just must not forget her and should visit her frequently. Understand?”
Mo Chengrui was dumbfounded.
Like that?
…
On the other hand, Mo Huai was locked up in the backyard by Steward Zhong, but Jiang Hongying and Mo Yunhao could not be bothered with him for the moment as they were ranting in the room.
Mo Yunhao shouted furiously, “Mother, what do Grandpa and Grandma mean? That Mo Beihan is just someone from the countryside. What is so good about him? What kind of family is the Mo family? Grandpa and Grandma actually brought him back. Are they not afraid of embarrassing themselves?”
Jiang Hongying scoffed. “Who knows what they’re thinking? But, son, this bastard child’s return will only harm us. Look at what your grandfather said today. He’s clearly warning us.
“This is simply ridiculous. You and your father are the eldest son and grandson of the Mo family. If the Mo family is not handed to you two, who will succeed the Mo family then? Only you two are the legitimate and perfectly justifiable option. What does he want to do? Is he seriously thinking of letting Mo Beihan succeed the family?”
Mo Yunhao’s brows furrowed!
Jiang Hongying said, “Is he not afraid that the Mo family would become a joke to those wealthy families? Look at those illegitimate children. How many of them are good enough to appear in public? They live like dogs in their family. Only your grandparents treat the children from outside as treasures!”
Mo Yunhao was disgruntled. “But Grandpa and Grandma have already done so now. What should we do? Mother, I know that we are the eldest son and grandson, but… Father is not as doted on as Young Uncle. Now, this Mo Beihan appeared, and he is older than me. What to do?
“In the end, would the Mo family really be snatched away from us?”
“No!” Jiang Hongying was suddenly very agitated. “The Mo family is ours. No one can snatch it away!”
The sharp voice frightened Mo Yunhao. After taking some time to calm down, he finally said, “That bastard child is already back now. Judging by Grandpa and Grandma’s attitude, we are not able to change this fate. What should we do now?”
Jiang Hongying frowned and pondered. “Don’t panic first. It’s normal for a powerful family like the Mo family to have a few illegitimate children. But in the end, how many can really defeat the original children of the legal wife?”
