Chapter 173: Everyone is on their own
Aunt Song was anxious and said, "How could it be? Have you forgotten how much I have suffered from the Second House since I married you? It is she who bullies our children every day. Our daughter Yuntang has not yet married. If she plotted against us, I don't know what the consequences would be. What does it matter if I suffer a little? The most important thing is the children."
"Besides, Yunfeng just passed the imperial examination, so it's time to consider marriage. Otherwise, he would have been engaged long ago. If he doesn't get married, people will gossip about him. It's better to separate our courtyard so that it's easier to find a wife."
Boss Song frowned as he listened to his wife's words. He also understood that the matter of the second house had indeed brought a lot of trouble to the family. He was silent for a moment, thinking about how to properly solve the problem.
"The second brother's family is indeed a bit too much," Boss Song finally said, "but if we build a wall abruptly, I'm afraid it will cause more unnecessary arguments and misunderstandings."
Seeing her husband hesitate, Auntie Song sighed inwardly. She knew that the eldest brother Song was a nostalgic person and did not want to have too many conflicts with the second wife. But she was afraid that the second wife would continue to cause trouble and was unwilling to give up.
"Old Song, tell me, are we just going to let them make noise in the yard?" Aunt Song said with unwillingness in her eyes.
Boss Song pondered for a while, and finally said: "Perhaps we can remind them tactfully and see if we can reduce some of the impact."
After hearing this, Aunt Song couldn't help feeling disappointed. She had originally expected her husband to support her decision, but now it seems that Mr. Song is still inclined to maintain a conciliatory attitude.
"How could the second wife listen to our advice? People in her family are just so talkative." Aunt Song grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Boss Song touched his wife's hand and said softly, "I will go find the second brother and have a good talk with her to see if we can reach some consensus."
Aunt Song nodded. Although she was still a little dissatisfied, she knew that this was her husband's way. Boss Song was a steady man, and his decisions could often calm down conflicts within the family.
"Okay, go and give it a try." Aunt Song lowered her head and said softly, "I don't expect her to make any changes. I just hope our children can grow up safely."
Boss Song nodded, held his wife's hand comfortingly, and promised: "I will do my best."
Mojia Village.
Mrs. Mo cried bitterly, and she was very angry for her son: "Oh, damn Boss Wang, he beat our son so badly. I must report to the police and seek justice for our Dahai!"
The day before yesterday, she brought her son to the Wang family's home, just to marry Wang Tingting, the daughter of the Wang family, without paying any dowry, but she didn't expect to be driven out by Wang and his wife.
Mo was indignant and tried to discredit Wang Tingting everywhere in Wangjia Village.
Unexpectedly, Boss Wang vented his anger for his daughter by rushing into the Mo family and beating up Mo's son Mo Dahai.
Mo Dahai was beaten so badly that his face was covered with bruises, which was heartbreaking to see.
"Son, I will seek justice for you."
Mo Dahai's eldest daughter, Mo Mingfang, disagreed: "Mom, do you really think the government officials will care? You were the one who went to the Wang family to look for Wang Tingting's matter first. Wang Tingting's reputation is ruined now, and it's only right that her father beat my brother. I advise you to stop making trouble."
Mrs. Mo's face changed, and she slapped her daughter Mo Mingfang in the face: "You haven't even married yet, but you're already defending outsiders. You're really a traitor. Why don't you apply medicine to your brother!"
Mo Mingfang felt very aggrieved after being slapped, so he walked away alone.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with what she said. How could a marriage be free of money? It was probably impossible to expect someone's daughter to come home without spending a penny. Unfortunately, Mrs. Mo was a stingy person, so she couldn't make sense.
Mo Mingfang thought that after she got married, she would not be involved in these messy affairs at home.
But Wang Tingting is still willing to marry into the Mo family. She is not an easy person to deal with. Who knows what kind of chaos will happen in the family in the future!
Mo Mingfang felt exhausted by the disputes at home, and she secretly decided that she must marry someone who would stay away from all these troubles.
She went to find her brother Mo Dahai silently, and looking at the bruises on his face, she felt distressed and helpless.
"Dahai, are you okay?" Mo Mingfang asked cautiously.
Mo Dahai forced a smile and pointed to the medicine box on the table. "Fortunately, these medicines are quite effective. Don't worry about me. What's wrong with you?"
Mo Mingfang sighed and whispered, "Mom just slapped me and said I was ignorant. I don't know what to do. Dahai, what do you think is going on in our family?"
Mo Dahai shook his head, looking at his sister with eyes full of helplessness and complicated emotions, "Sister, you can't be blamed for this. Mother made herself and the whole family so uncomfortable because of this matter, it's really... Sigh, I don't know how to put it. The Wang family's affairs were not a simple matter to begin with, and now it's even more complicated."
Ever since Boss Wang came to him and told him that Wang Tingting was pregnant, he felt even more guilty.
Mo Mingfang understood something in her heart. She took a deep breath and decided to change the subject: "Da Hai, do you really like Wang Tingting?"
Mo Dahai was silent for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally shook his head, "Actually... I don't particularly like her, I just think she's a nice person. Don't worry about it, go see mom, she should be angry now."
With the Mo family's conditions, it's good enough that there's a girl willing to marry them. How can they be picky?
Mo Mingfang nodded, turned and left the room.
She hesitated in her heart, perhaps Dahai was right, she couldn't interfere in these matters, so it was better to stay out of trouble.
On the other side, Mrs. Mo sat in the yard, feeling mixed emotions.
She originally intended to seek justice for her son, but she didn't expect so much trouble to arise.
She knew she was also at fault, but she couldn't let it go. She secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she would fight for justice for her son.
This small village was stirred up by quite a stir because of a marriage issue.
The conflict between the Mo family and the Wang family became increasingly acute. The villagers were talking about it, but no one was willing to get involved.
Day two.
The more Mrs. Mo thought about it, the angrier she became. Her son Mo Dahai was beaten for no reason, and she wanted to find that Boss Wang to settle the score.
However, there are many people in the village who just watch the fun on weekdays, but when something happens, few are willing to help.
What's more, what the Mo family did was not right in itself. They brought their own son to propose marriage, but refused to give a penny of dowry and slandered the other person's daughter everywhere. How could Boss Wang not beat Mo Dahai?
After all, it was Mo Dahai who was in love with Wang Tingting, but Mo Dahai is now irresponsible. He listens to me in everything and has no opinions of his own.
It was he who caused Wang Tingting to be in this situation today. Who else should we beat if not him?
