The Mo family all thought so too. A fat chicken weighing over ten pounds was bound to be oily; in the end, they blamed Old Lady Mo, the stingy old woman who was usually so miserly that she skimped on oil even when stir-frying vegetables. Now, eating such a fatty chicken, everyone felt like they hadn’t properly absorbed its nourishment and all ended up ill, suffering from severe diarrhea, barely clinging to life.
“Mother, it’s all your fault this time. You’re always so stingy, barely a drop of oil in the food, and now look what you’ve done. You’ve ruined us all.” Mo Daoyan had been running all night to the bathroom, his legs had thinned from running, and his bottom was so sore that every tug was painful. He confronted Old Lady Mo with a sky-high grievance.
Old Lady Mo had fallen into the cesspool last night, wading through a pool filled with the stench of feces and thousands of maggots, which was extremely nauseating. She suffered from vomiting and diarrhea all night and was the most seriously affected.
Far from receiving any concern, she was additionally blamed by her younger son, which instantly enraged her. However, after a night of tormenting stomach upset, she was too weak to yell. All she could do was mutter weakly, “You…you ungrateful wretch… I save every penny not for myself but to pay for your son Hengjian’s school fees…you…you…” She couldn’t finish her sentence as she ran out of breath.
“Old woman, don’t get angry. It’s not worth harming your health over,” Old Master Mo’s feeble voice chimed in.
After struggling all night, he too was barely clinging to life. He wanted some peace, but alas, his wife and son still had the energy to squabble like dogs over a bone.
“It’s the truth.” Mo Daoyan retorted, still unconvinced.
“Husband, let it go,” Madam Ruan also hurriedly tugged at Mo Daoyan’s arm secretly. She was worried that provoking Old Lady Mo too much might lead her to stop funding her son’s tuition, which would be a great loss.
Mo Daoyan then silenced himself.
The doctor’s words had dispelled many of their suspicions. After taking the medicine, Mo Yaner, who had eaten the least chicken, also suffered from diarrhea, but her symptoms were much milder than the others. Feeling that something was amiss, she forced herself to return to the old residence to confront Madam Xie.
Upon hearing Mo Yaner’s accusations, Madam Xie was shocked and quickly shook her head and waved her hands, hurriedly explaining, “Yaner, dear, I didn’t tamper with the food. That plate of chicken was actually meant for our own consumption; it was you who decided on the spur of the moment to take it away. How could I have had the time to meddle with it?”
“The doctor also said it wasn’t the drug,” Mo Yaner said grudgingly.
Madam Xie then breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh! My dear sister, you went to the Mo family to claim your success and finally deigned to return?” Xuexue came out of the house, her tone laced with sarcasm.
She had stayed in all day just to wait for Mo Yaner’s visit.
“Xuexue, why have you become like this?” Mo Yaner looked at Xuexue with a pained expression. She used to be so well-behaved and never spoke loudly, but now her words were sharp, which made Mo Yaner quite uncomfortable.
“Why have I become like this? Well, you might want to go ask your second mother and dear father about that!” Xuexue glanced at her sidelong, saying coldly.
“If you’ve turned bad, what does that have to do with others?” Mo Yaner’s tone was stern, filled with reproach.
Fearing another quarrel between the two sisters, Madam Xie quickly explained how Auntie Sun had nearly ruined Xuexue’s virtue through her schemes.
“Impossible, my second mother is such a good person, how could she have done such a disgusting thing?” Mo Yaner still couldn’t believe it.
Indeed, her loyalties had long been swayed in favor of the Mo family. Deep down, she believed that whatever the Mo family did was right. This mindset was deep-seated and wouldn’t be easily changed anytime soon.
“Forget it, mother, there’s no saving big sister. Don’t waste your breath on her,” Xuexue said as she pulled Madam Xie into the house.
