Chapter 959: Not Even Related By Blood (3)
Great-aunt Mo calmed herself and hurried to complain to Old Master Mo.
“Times were so hard. Zhenguo passed away so early, and I was a woman alone, trying to raise two children. We chewed tree bark and ate grassroots. We almost starved to death. In the end, I had no choice but to remarry.
“If I had not remarried, Zhenguo’s two children would not have survived. I worked like a slave for them for more than ten years so that the two children would survive. If I had not changed their surname to Zhou, they would not have supported the children.”
“I…” Great-aunt covered her face and started to sob. “Wu wu wu, I had no choice! Changing their surname allowed the two children to survive. Otherwise, Zhenguo would have no descendants at all. I had no choice but to swallow my pride and shoulder my responsibilities to preserve Zhenguo’s two children. I… wuwuwu…”
Old Master Mo really thought very highly of Fang Zhenguo. They had not heard from him for so many years, that he honestly had not borne much hope. But he had not expected to live to see his children. Old Master Mo was very sympathetic towards the children because of all they had suffered outside.
“Don’t be sad. Those were difficult times. Just keeping those two children alive was no mean feat!”
Mo Beihan smiled and said, “That’s right, Great-aunt. It was really difficult for you to bring up your son and daughter by yourself. I sympathize deeply. My mother also raised my older brother and I alone in the village. Later on, she raised my two nephews too. Those days were almost inhumane.”
Old Master Mo paused!
He had been feeling guilty and sympathetic, but now there was a strange, new feeling.
It was true that Jiang Yingqiu had suffered even more badly than Great-aunt Mo. She not only raised her two sons, but she had also borne the grief of her older son’s death, then continued to raise his two grandchildren. Later on, when Mo Chengjing and Mu Mu were found, Jiang Yingqiu had even taken in the children and lived in the village for a long time.
Later on, she had never complained to the Mo family or asked them for any reward for raising the Mo family’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren. By contrast…
When Mo Beihan saw the scene, his mouth twitched, and he smiled coldly. He did not want to waste any more time here.
“Grandfather, I just got off the plane. I’ve been very busy lately. I’ll go have a nap and rest.”
Mo Beihan was the oldest grandson, and to Old Master Mo, he was the most important. He had been busy for the past two months. Now that he was back, of course he must have a good rest.
“Go then! Have a good rest. I’ll send someone to call you when dinner is ready.”
“Very well, I’ll take my leave then!”
“Go ahead!”
Mo Beihan glanced at Great-aunt Mo and the others and strode to the backyard.
He was finally back. He had not even had time to have a good chat with his wife!
He did not want to waste any time on these people.
There was a house flanking the backyard. He went straight up to the second floor, to the master bedroom. Gu Qingyao was arranging the flowers. She turned, but before she could say anything, Mo Beihan had already pounced on her.
“Yao Yao…”
Kisses rained down on her, and he lifted her up. In a moment, they were lying on the big bed nearby.
“Don’t be like that. It’s not even dark yet!”
Mo Beihan could not wait any longer. “It’s all right, no one will come here.”
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. He had been busy overseas for so long. Now that he was back, he must spend some quality time with his wife!
