Bab 32: Let me go——2
" It is nothing," Mo Yan smiled at Yin Fu placatingly and then turned to look at her daughter who was sitting on the couch silently while frowning. She sighed, though she was glad that her daughter was now better than before, she hoped that her daughter's EQ remained the same. This dunce should have chased after her husband just now but she was sitting on the couch calmly.
In fact, Mo Qiang was not sitting calmly, in her head she was listening to the screams of Little Jiao who kept shouting at her.
[ Go and bring that mer back! Coax him, kiss him …. If possible eat him clean! But bring him back, we can gain favourability points from him! Another follower of nature can be born!]
Little Jiao not only did she scream at Mo Qiang, she even continued to nibble on Mo Qiang's hair turning a bunch of strands on Mo Qiang's head to turn wet with her saliva.
" You are dirtying my hair! Will you be refining the water for me to wash my hair ?" Mo Qiang questioned the squirrel in her head who pulled her hair strands while holding them in her tiny paws and threatened her, " I will turn you bald if you do not chase that mer! He is my follower! He is my next servant! Do you even see his amazing luck? He is bound to become someone great! As long as he becomes my servant, I can make a ravishing comeback! Go after him if you do not want to wake up with a bald head tomorrow morning!"
" You little!" Mo Qiang went to catch the squirrel but instead, she caught hold of something warm and hard. What the? She raised her head and looked at the metallic bottle that she was holding in her hand and then turned to look at her mother who was smiling at her, but that smile looked like one of those clients who wanted her to work for them day and night.
" Wh…What ?" Mo Qiang was scared by the expression of her mother who was smiling at her like an annoying little devil.
" Your husband is upset with you, bring this warm water to him and coax him," said Mo Yan as she placed her hand on Mo Qiang's shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
" But he just said that he will never drink it," Mo Qiang blinked her eyes as she looked at Mo Yan whose smile widened while her hold on her shoulder tightened. " Sometimes mer husbands can act like children, you need to lower your pride and coax them a little. Hui'er might have said that but he loves drinking hot water since it stops his throat from hurting every morning. Since you were at fault … you should coax him."
Mo Qiang felt like she was even more wronged than that famous character whose death caused the sky to rain blood. She looked at her mother with an affronted expression and then said in a whiny voice, " Why am I at fault? I worked hard all day! I purified this water for the family and it was him who got angry at me for no reason! I did nothing wrong!"
" You were the one who got his contract which he worked hard for ten years to be cancelled, Qi Qi," Mo Yan sternly brought up her crimes and Mo Qiang pouted like a child while she inwardly cried, ' I did not do that! I am being wronged, your honour!'
But on the outside, she could only say, " Xifeng can bring him back, he will be happier that way as well since he does not like me."
At her words, Yin Fu and Xie Jie exchanged a look while Mo Yan's expression turned grave as she glowered at her daughter while giving her a white look. She bared her teeth and then said sternly, " Xifeng is not the wife of your husbands, she is her own person and has her own things to do. When you were irresponsible, I allowed her to take care of your husbands but do not forget that Xifeng will one day have someone whom she will like as well, do you wish for her to chase after your husbands even then?"
As she spoke, Mo Yan squeezed her daughter on the shoulder she added firmly, " Do not pass your responsibilities that you do not want to take on to your sister, Qi Qi."
"It's all right, Mother. I can——" Mo Xifeng began but Mo Yan glared at her and shut her up before she stared at her second daughter and asked solemnly, " Do you wish to take responsibility for them all your life? I have asked this question to you before and I will ask this question to you again, do you? Or do you not have feelings for your brothers-in-law?"
Her question stunned everyone in the room as Yin Fu and Xie Jie turned to look at their mother-in-law with pale complexion on their faces. Looks like they were not as sneaky as they thought they were!
Mo Xifeng frowned when she heard this question again from her mother and then she shook her head before solemnly declaring, " Of course not Mother."
Her response caused Yin Fu and Xie Jie's heart to ache a little but they did not show it on their faces, they in fact already knew that Mo Xifeng felt nothing for them and so did Shao Hui but they were so dependent on her that they ignored her feelings but Mo Yan took this opportunity to remind them and Mo Qiang that Mo Xifeng was her own person and they should not force their feelings on her.
" You heard that?" Mo Yan looked down at Mo Qiang who felt slightly guilty for pushing her responsibilities on Mo Xifeng while ignoring what the latter wanted. " So as the wife of your husbands, you should be taking care of them now that you are sober."
" But my muscles——" Though Mo Qiang understood what Mo Yan was telling her, she still did not like the idea of going after Shao Hui, the mer whose favourability points were the worst. What if he chokes her in a dark alley and buries her? There was a chance that he rushed out while being armed with scissors or knives!
What if she became a helpless fish to be chopped on his board?
" I will break your bones if you do not move right now, Qi Qi," as Mo Yan spoke her grip on Mo Qiang's shoulder tightened so much that the latter started to thrash on the couch while howling,
" I AM GOING! I AM GOING! I WILL BRING HIM IN A PRINCESS CARRY, ALL RIGHT? LET ME GO, GENERAL MO!"
Bab 33: Follow me instead of your wife
" Jeez that woman nearly dislocated my shoulder," said Mo Qiang as she rolled her shoulder while trying to check whether or not she needed to visit the doctor and get her shoulder placed back in the socket.
Mo Qiang had never lived in a family before, she was an orphan with only kids around her age to play along with in the orphanage where she was abandoned by her parents, when she grew eighteen and was going to leave the orphanage she asked the head of the orphanage whether the old woman knew something about her parents or not. To her surprise, the old woman did know about her parents who abandoned her at the door of the orphanage and told her that they left her here because she was a daughter and they wanted a son.
When Mo Qiang left the orphanage, she went to her parent's house and was stunned to see that the two really got what they wished for, they had three sons, all good for nothing while living in a small rented apartment but for some reason they were happy. Back then she was filled with anger and swore that she will make them regret which was why she not only studied architecture, she even joined a company which was far better than what her brothers could ever get into —— of course, her parents later came to look for her once they saw her face in an architecture magazine.
They asked for forgiveness and Mo Qiang of course replied by having them thrown out of the company back then those two people have cursed at her to the point that they literally murdered her with their words. Because of this reason, Mo Qiang was even more reluctant to the idea of getting married and having a family, since her own left a scar.
But now, not only did she have a family but she also had a mother who was as strong as mini King Kong! And she had no idea how to deal with that woman since the one who cursed her the most was her mother.
" Ahem, if you have calmed down, can you let go of me?" She heard the little squirrel speak and looked down at Little Jiao whom she was using as a ball to squeeze out her frustration. " I mean I do understand that you are angry but I am still your boss, aren't I?"
"That's where you are wrong," Mo Qiang was no longer as scared as she was of this little thing as she was in the beginning. She calmly squeezed little Jiao and then continued to speak ignoring the peep that the thing made, " I am your partner you see? You gave me materials and in return, I help you reclaim your lost glory, do not make our relationship one that of slave and master, got it?"
Little Jiao who was being held in the fist of Mo Qiang sputtered, she wanted to say something but under another squeeze she could only helplessly agree. " All right but I am still the one with the majority of shares."
" Yeah, Yeah," replied Mo Qiang as she looked around the street ignoring the people who were ducking their heads upon seeing her and trying to make their presence as inconspicuous as possible. " Help me find that runaway child, I need to get hold of him and bring him back home or else I will lose my extra bowl of chicken porridge."
"No wonder you had no boyfriend," muttered Little Jiao under her breath causing Mo Qiang to look at her, her glare startled Little Jiao as she pointed to a dark alley and then said, " He is there."
Mo Qiang looked at the dark alley where Little Jiao was pointing and frowned, what was that mer doing in that alley? She walked towards the mouth of the dark alley and went speechless the second she looked at what was going on inside the dark alley.
Shao Hui was standing in the middle of a few thug-like-looking women, his eyes were rimmed red but he still seemed to be quarrelling with them.
" I don't know! I have no idea when she is going to pay your money back, if you have the guts go and ask her why are you cornering me here like this?" Mo Qiang heard the mer say as she stepped inside the alley and only then did she recognise these women, they were hired thugs who worked in the bar where Mo Qiang went and gambled.
Though Mo Yan repaid almost everything, she still asked for a few months to repay the rest since they needed to pay the compensation to the imperial family.
Mo Qiang: "...." These people, they just want to see her dead, don't they?
And sure enough, she heard the constant ding ding ding of Shao Hui's favourability points going down with each second.
[ Current favourability points: -730]
Mo Qiang: "..." Shall I look for a coffin now?
She looked down at Little Jiao who was snarling, from the looks of it the little squirrel was not liking this show of watching a helpless mer getting cornered as well. With a raise of her head, she stared at the group of women who were surrounding Shao Hui and then rubbed the back of her head.
Shao Hui stared at the group of women who were leering down at him, this was why he hardly ever stepped out alone of the house with Xie Jie who was tall and learned martial arts for a small role, these women stayed away from him but when they saw him alone they will come looking for him, each time and will tease and taunt him!
Just like how they were doing right now!
" Oh come one, Hui'er.." said the woman in the lead as she placed her hand on Shao Hui's shoulder. " There is no need for you to be so rude to us, we have known you for such a long time and …." She dropped her gaze at the thin yet beautiful figure of Shao Hui before strapping her eyes back up on his ethereal face as she added, " And I intend to know you even more deeply, you get what I am saying right?"
