Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 29 - Die Away

Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Die Away

Madam Ruan, after hearing Old Lady Mo’s remarks, pursed her lips, whispering disdainfully with a face full of contempt, “Pah! She talks as if she’s so noble. We hardly eat a few pieces of cured meat throughout the year and she calls us wasteful, yet it’s perfectly fine for her to eat meat every day. She’s utterly inhumane.”

The courtyard was filled with the loud wailing and shouting of Old Lady Mo, and nobody noticed Madam Ruan’s quiet muttering; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the courage.

Old Master Mo watched as Old Lady Mo threw a tantrum on the ground, at a loss for what to do, and finally said with a pain-stricken face, “Wife, stop shouting. The ground is cold, get up quickly and don’t harm your body.”

“Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, are you alright? Please get up quickly.”

Standing by the side, Madam Xie trembled all over as she listened to Old Lady Mo cursing the thief who stole the cured meat.

Latter, seeing Old Lady Mo sitting on the ground and wailing loudly, and fearing the cold might enter her body and harm her, Madam Xie, despite the pain in her body, stepped forward wanting to help her get up…

...

However, the unruly Old Lady Mo was not at all grateful, flailing her arms and legs, scratching and kicking, and harshly scolding, “Get lost, you barren old hen, don’t touch me, bringing bad luck.”

“Ah…”

Caught off guard, Madam Xie was kicked in the waist by Old Lady Mo and staggered back several steps…

“Clatter, clatter, clatter…”

Suddenly, she fell to the ground, and Madam Xie couldn’t help but let out a pitiful scream.

The injuries from last night hadn’t healed yet, and in the early morning, fearing Old Lady Mo would cause more trouble, Madam Xie endured the pain throughout her body and got up to cook breakfast for the entire family. Now, old wounds compounded by new ones.

“Mother, mother, are you alright?” Xuexue just ran out when she saw this scene, and hurriedly helped her up.

She knew her adoptive mother was meek and feared she might foolishly take the blame for stealing the cured meat, so as soon as Xuexue heard Old Lady Mo yelling, she rushed over relentlessly.

“I’m fine.” Madam Xie said, enduring the pain and struggling to stand up from the ground.

Xuexue was furious, and turning her head to face Old Lady Mo on the ground, she said, “Grandmother, my mother was just trying to help you out of kindness. You could have just not appreciated it, but why did you then proceed to see an opportunity to hit and kick her?”

“What? The old guy bullies me, and you, this little wench, dare to question me? Ah woo woo woo…, I can’t live, I just can’t live anymore.” Old Lady Mo simply slapped her hands together, sat on the ground, and began to cry loudly.

“You crazy old hag, you’re being so unreasonable!” Watching her act like a shrew, Xuexue glared at her furiously.

“How dare you! Is that how you speak to your elders?” Old Master Mo, holding his pipe, sternly knocked Xuexue on the head.

“Ah.”

Xuexue winced in pain, rubbing her head, her face full of grievance, “Grandfather, grandmother helping my father take a concubine was one thing, but her constant beating and scolding of my mother, isn’t that pushing her to death?”

As a daughter-in-law of the Mo family, no matter how aggrieved, you must endure,” Old Master Mo said with a face full of righteousness.

Xuexue despised him in her heart. Despite Old Master’s righteous facade, in reality, it all boiled down to one thing: he was henpecked.

“Hmph! Mother, let’s go back to our room,” Xuexue snorted coldly, turned around, and supported Madam Xie, intending to leave.

“No, mother hasn’t finished cooking breakfast yet.” Madam Xie struggled, refusing to go back to the room.

Madam Xie, with injuries all over her body yet still concerned about cooking breakfast for the whole family, made Xuexue’s heart ache immensely. She thought to herself, she must change her adoptive mother’s submissive habits in the future.

“Mother, you’re injured like this, what breakfast are you still trying to cook? The Mo family has so many people, as if they would starve to death without you.”

Xuexue deliberately raised her voice louder than Old Lady Mo’s wailing.

In the Mo family, Madam Xie, accustomed to a life of shrinking down, was startled when she suddenly heard Xuexue speak so loudly in front of everyone, and in a panic, she lowered her head and obediently let Xuexue help her walk away.
