Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 137 - Beating one’s chest and stamping ones feet
Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Beating one’s chest and stamping one’s feet
The Mo family
Old Master Mo and his two sons had just returned from the town when they entered their house. What met their eyes was a scene of utter devastation, which took them by surprise…
“My goodness! Who could do such a heartless thing? These items were bought just a few days ago.” The old man saw things smashed ruthlessly on the ground and felt an extreme heartache.
To manage the silver needed for the household items, Old Maid had been hounding Aunt Sun to repay her debts daily. Now, everything was messed up, and she would surely make a huge fuss if she found out. The first thing that came to Old Master Mo’s mind was the image of Old Lady Mo beating her chest and stamping her feet in frustration.
What Old Master Mo didn’t know was that Old Lady Mo had already lost her temper.
The more Mo Xiaoqiang looked around, the guiltier he felt. The scene resembled the one a few days ago when Butcher Yu had smashed up the place. His legs began to tremble, for this matter had already made him a target of gossip among the neighbors, who called him a worthless dad, selling out even his own daughter.
Father and sons inspected the entire route and arrived at the main hall.
A figure caught their eyes, resembling a madwoman, her clothes disheveled and hair unkempt as she sprawled on the ground. It was a bit frightening at first glance.

Old Master Mo cautiously approached and tentatively called out, “Old Maid? Is that you?”
Old Lady Mo looked up blankly, her black-and-white hair concealing her face. Through the gaps, she faintly saw it was Old Master Mo and his sons. Suddenly, she screamed at the top of her lungs, flailing her arms and crying loudly, “Ohhh… Old man, you’re finally back. That wretched Aunt Sun, she… she hit me, ohhh… I can’t live this life anymore!”
It really was Old Lady Mo, so wretchedly on the ground, her clothes nearly torn apart. Old Master Mo found it hard to believe.
“You… you… who did you say hit you?”
“That wretched Aunt Sun. I took good care of her, and look, she’s beaten me to this state. Look, look at this.” Angrily, she pushed her hair back from her face and thrust her face close to Old Master Mo.
The father and sons could barely recognize her in her battered state.
Old Lady Mo’s face was swollen blue, her eyes puffy like a panda’s, and there were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, clearly scratched by someone’s nails.
“That wretched woman, I’m going right now to deal with her, how dare she do this to my mother,” said Mo Xiaoqiang, turning around furiously.
“Yes, Qiangqiang, give her a good beating, avenge your mother, ohhh…! There’s no justice, a daughter-in-law actually assaulting her mother-in-law, it would be the talk of the town,” Old Lady Mo cried out vengefully from behind.
“Old Maid, what on earth happened? Why are all the things in our house smashed?” Old Master Mo turned and asked as he surveyed the chaotic scene, frowning deeply.
Old Lady Mo, sobbing, recounted the day’s events.
“Ah! It’s all your fault. You shouldn’t have decided on your own to take Aunt Sun as a concubine. Look, she’s turned our Mo family upside down,” Old Master Mo said reproachfully.
“Stop talking, I already regret it so much, that vile woman is the bane of our family, set on our ruin,” thought Old Lady Mo, her heart and soul aching as she considered arranging more silver to replace the items.
That evening, the village head called Old Master Mo for a long talk that lasted several Shichen.
After returning, Old Master Mo surprisingly agreed to compensate Butcher Yu with twenty-five taels of silver. When Old Lady Mo found out, it resulted in another round of intense crying and raging. All the usual tricks that had worked before were futile; Old Master Mo was resolute about paying the money.
