บท 308: Chapter 308: Mo Wu's River Plunge and Xiao Ruiyuan's Search (3)_1

Watching Mo Wu's slender and frail silhouette, Mo Yan silently sighed and closed the courtyard door…

While the main room was empty, Mo Wu secretly held a cotton-padded coat wrapped around some pastries and was about to return to her own room when she unfortunately ran into Mrs. Niu, her sister-in-law, who was on her way to the outhouse. She muttered, 'This is bad,' just as Mrs. Niu's loud voice began to scold.

"Well, I never! I thought the eldest sister-in-law was honest and decent, but she turns out to be hiding something after all, secretly stashing away a fine cotton-padded coat for herself! What, feeling guilty now and deciding to take it back?"

Mrs. Niu's eyes were glued to the coat in Mo Wu's arms, her eyeballs rolling greedily, as if she wished she could snatch it away and hold it herself.

Mo Wu knew that now was not the time to argue; otherwise, not only would the coat be lost, but the pastries for the children would also be taken.
