Chapter 376: That Morbid and Paranoid Game Development Character (15)
"You little bastard, the sun is shining on your butt! How can you sleep?"
"Mom, come in quickly, I'm sure this little bastard has hidden some delicious food. The bread and water last time were not something he could get!"
The wooden door was kicked open, and dust fell. Mo You was a light sleeper, and it was not a pleasant feeling to be awakened from his sleep. His heart almost jumped out of his chest. He stared at the mother and son at the door, and when the woman looked at him, he changed into a timid and withdrawn look.
Mo Yaoan suffered a loss here last time. He thought about it over and over again but had no clue. He rested for many days and just thought that it was Mo You who did something. As soon as he was able to get out of bed, he couldn't wait to come and cause trouble.
He was smart enough to ask adults for support, for fear that the situation from last time would happen again.
Mo Yaoan's mother is Xu Hui, who looks like a gentle and quiet woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hold on to Mo Cheng's heart after he had a son, and wouldn't have given all his money to her for safekeeping as soon as he married her.
When he came, he also brought Mo Yaoan, who was only one year younger than Mo You, which showed that the two of them had been together for a long time.
Mo Yaoan was used to being arrogant and didn't take Mo You seriously at all. He thought that a bastard who was driven into a shabby house by his mother with just a few words was nothing to be afraid of.
Mo Cheng didn't care at all.
When he was bullied at the beginning, Mo You would complain, expecting Mo Cheng to seek justice for him. However, with just a few words from Xu Hui, he became the one who was wrong. Over time, Mo Cheng came to think that he was a hopeless case and looked down on his son more and more, so he simply pretended that nothing had happened.
After complaining so many times, Mo Cheng would listen at first, but later he kicked him away, making Mo You face the reality completely.
From then on, Mo You never called his father father again from the bottom of his heart, and he completely saw through Xu Hui's true face. In fact, he had to thank Xu Hui.
He learned the skill of saying one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes from the other person.
"Yaoan, don't say that. Xiaoyou is your brother after all. If he has something good, why wouldn't he share it with you?"
Xu Hui smiled softly, "Xiaoyou is not the kind of bad kid who eats alone, don't you think?"
Mo You raised his head cautiously, and when he met Xu Hui's gaze, he quickly lowered it, his body trembling, and he stammered, "Yes, yes."
See, what nice words these sound like. If he were a normal child, he would have taken out everything and given it to them eagerly.
Xu Hui nodded in satisfaction. This child was useless after all, not worthy of being in public. Even if Mo Cheng remembered to take a look at him one day, he would only be more disappointed and would not pose any threat to Yao An.
Mo Yaoan put his hands on his waist, his double chin trembling, but he was still not satisfied, "Mom! I don't have a brother! This little bastard doesn't deserve it!"
Xu Hui wiped the sweat off her son's head, calling him a little bastard. "You, keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid of damaging your throat?"
Finally, he took a few steps forward and squatted down to touch Mo You's head. He was not annoyed when he was avoided. He said softly, "Yao An is just straightforward. He has you as his brother in his heart. Xiao You don't have to worry about it."
Mo You nodded. Xu Hui disliked his timid look. Talking so much to a child was already the limit. She looked around and the empty place didn't look like a place to hide anything.
His eyes rolled, "Yaoan said you hid something, but I didn't really believe it. He was convinced of this and he kept arguing with me and your father every day, which gave us a headache."
"I came here today to make him give up. Tell me, did you hide it?"
As he spoke, he turned around and winked at Mo Yaoan, and the next second, the room was turned upside down by Mo Yaoan, leaving no corner untouched. He even pushed Mo You and tore the cardboard bed he was lying on into pieces.
Mo You, who fell to the ground, protected his vital parts. He exerted force on the hand that was pressing on the shadow, said something in a whisper, and shook his head using his arm to cover his expression.
The surging ink color trembled violently, and Mo You's shadow became extremely large for a moment, and finally returned to silence unwillingly.
"I, I didn't hide any food. The water and bread I had last time were given to me by a kind person. They're gone now."
Xu Hui focused most of her attention on Mo Yaoan, fearing that her son might get hurt. It was not until Mo You spoke that she glanced at him and blurted out words of blame.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Xiaoyou, but we are a family, and we should share everything, right?"
Wiping the corners of his dry eyes, he said, "You don't know the situation at home. We are always hungry and full. Yaoan has lost two kilograms."
"If our family doesn't support each other, we won't be able to survive. Auntie knows you are a good child and she will definitely not bear to see your father and brother go hungry."
The implicit meaning of his words was 'there are good things to share'. Mo You chuckled in his heart, it was hard for Xu Hui to spend so much effort on a child. He was very good at lying with open eyes and treated him as if he was blind.
Looking at Mo Yaoan's physique, he has gained two kilograms compared to last time, and Xu Hui's complexion is even better. She can really say that she eats one meal and eats the next, without feeling ashamed.
Of course I don't mind.
If Xu Hui hadn't been concerned about her image in Mo Cheng's mind, she would have gotten rid of Mo You long ago. But it doesn't matter now. A dull knife will only sharpen a person's teeth. She doesn't believe that Mo You can survive for many years without enough food and warm clothes.
If it weren't for Mo You's bitch mother who was occupying the position, she wouldn't have to marry into the family and become Mo You's stepmother. In order to stop the gossips of the neighbors, she has been gentle and loving until now.
It was Mo Cheng who suggested that Mo You rush to the cabin, and she even tried to persuade him in a proper manner, so outsiders could not find any fault with her.
"How could it not be?"
The hut was dusty, and Mo Yaoan searched everywhere, but not only did he fail to find what he wanted, he ended up getting himself covered in dust.
He was so angry that he went up and was about to kick him, but Mo You dodged quickly.
"Ouch—"
As luck would have it, Mo You rolled and hid behind Xu Hui. It was too late for Mo Yaoan to stop. He was too fat to brake, and the kick hit Xu Hui.
Mo Yaoan hated Mo You, so he naturally used his greatest strength. Xu Hui was kicked hard and was half-squatting. She held her waist and sat on the ground, not getting up for a long time.
"Mom, are you okay!?"
"Little bastard, why are you hiding?"
Mo Yaoan rolled up his sleeves and rushed over. Mo You naturally would not accept the beating obediently. He got up from the ground, wiped his tears and muttered "Brother, don't hit me", crying as he ran.
The two men circled around Xu Hui, chasing each other. Xu Hui wanted to call out to Mo Yaoan, but her waist was hurting so badly that her face turned pale for a long time.
"boom"
"what!"
Mo You was walking at a moderate pace, and turned back and stretched out his foot without leaving any trace. Mo Yaoan was caught off guard and fell onto Xu Hui.
They both screamed at the same time.
Xu Hui was even more hurt. For the first time, she complained that her son was too fat and looked like a weight.
"Ooooooh mom! It hurts so much!"
"It's bleeding! My nose is bleeding! Am I going to die?!"
Mo Yaoan's nose was itchy, and after he wiped his face, his hands were covered in blood. He immediately started crying and screaming, and the devilish sound pierced his ears. Xu Hui, who was nearby, was deeply affected and almost couldn't breathe.
There's no gentleness or kindness at all.
She wanted to lose her temper, but couldn't bear to do it to her precious son, so she could only scold Mo You with an ugly face, "Hurry up and help your brother up!"
See, although he said nice things before, in fact he didn’t take Mo You seriously?
elder brother?
He has no brother.
There is no younger brother.
"Brother, are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
As he was about to reach out to help, his face turned red and he didn't let Mo Yaoan get up. Mo Yaoan was even more uncooperative and waved his arms.
"I don't need your help! I want my dad! Mom, I want to find my dad! I want to tell him that the little bastard wants to hurt us!"
The door of the hut was not closed, and the noise was too loud. Everyone was gossipy, and with the people passing by, Xu Hui had already seen them peeking in here.
Her face turned red and white with anger, but she didn't know what to say. She said to her crying son with a lot of anger, "Stop crying!"
Mo Yaoan, who was used to his parents' obedience, could not stand this tone. Plus, he didn't understand the twists and turns between adults, so he refused to do it right away.
"You called me! I'm going to tell Dad and let him beat you! Wuuuuuuuu——"
Xu Hui had a terrible headache, seeing people outside pointing and whispering, she knew without thinking what unpleasant words they were saying.
When Mo Cheng came over, what he saw was his wife and son lying on the ground. Mo You, whom he hadn't visited for several months, was huddled in the corner, and a group of people were whispering outside.
The veins on his forehead jumped immediately. Thinking that family disgrace should not be made public, he suppressed his temper and said to the neighbors, "Everyone, there is nothing wrong here. It's just my wife disciplining the disobedient children. Go away, go away."
Hearing this, everyone was about to leave, but Mo You ran out and grabbed his arm.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have dodged. That way my brother wouldn't have accidentally fallen down when he was about to hit me, and my aunt wouldn't have been pressed down by my brother and couldn't get up."
Mo You's eyes were red, and she cried until she hiccuped, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. It's all my fault."
The person who was about to leave suddenly brightened up his eyes, took a bite of the fresh melon that was put in his mouth, and was not in a hurry to leave for a moment.
Those who felt they understood stood up.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Mo Cheng. Even if you have Mo Yaoan, you can't forget Mo You, right?"
"You moved all his children to this place. Isn't Xu Hui worried? I saw her bring the child here early in the morning, yelling that Mo You was hiding something."
"Mo You is a well-behaved and sensible child. He doesn't look like a liar. Your son is really a bit relentless."
"You can't call her a stepmother, but she's not as strong as my biological mother."
"Yes, yes, as a father you can't be too partial."
Mo Cheng's face turned pale. How could he, who was very concerned about his reputation, tolerate being criticized?
In his heart, he cursed these people in front of him for having nothing to do after eating. They didn't even know how to live their own lives, yet they were meddling with him?
But this is just something he can think about and cannot say, unless he doesn't want to continue his career there and wants to move away.
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
Mo Cheng forced a smile, held his breath, and pretended to pat Mo You's shoulder lovingly, "This kid can't speak clearly when he's anxious."
"Come to think of it, if there was really no room at home, Xiaoyou wouldn't have been so sensible as to beg me to live in the cottage, and would have cried if I didn't agree. I was helpless too." Mo Cheng sighed.
In one sentence, all the problems were put on Mo You's head. Everyone looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.
Mo You's eyes moved, and he pulled Mo Cheng's sleeve, his eyes full of admiration, as if he had made a huge decision, hesitantly said, "Dad, don't be sad, it's all my fault, I'm ignorant, as long as you are happy, I will accept whatever you say."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hesitation disappeared without a trace. Mo You's hesitant look showed that he was only saying this out of consideration for Mo Cheng's face.
They felt that Mo You was more sensible, and at the same time, their impression of Mo Cheng became slightly worse.
"..."
If Mo You's expression wasn't impeccable, Mo Cheng would have thought he did it on purpose!
