Grandma Mo cried in despair. She calmed down slightly after Old Master Mo comforted her. She embraced the photos that he brought back and her eyes were filled with tears.
Old Master Mo returned home at noon, but he did not eat lunch since he was bothered by Mo Huai’s problems.
Grandma Mo did not eat lunch as well as she was very upset. Old Master accompanied her all the time, and she slept for a while.
After she woke up, he brought her downstairs to have some food.
The telephone rang at the study and Old Master went to pick up the phone. Grandma Mo went downstairs first.
Mo Huai rushed back home at the same time.
He was delighted as he saw Grandma Mo walking downstairs. He dashed over and said, “Mother, help me. I need one thousand yuan now. It’s urgent.”
Grandma Mo was still grief-stricken about her real eldest grandson passing away and his second eldest grandson and two great-grandsons suffering in the countryside. The culprit still dared to ask for one thousand yuan at the moment when he came back.
One thousand yuan!
Hehe!
The price of goods in this generation was low. One thousand yuan was considered a huge amount of money. This was not the first time that he had asked for such a large amount of money.
Mo Huai spent a lot of money these years, but he did not earn much. The Mo family gave him his job, yet he did not excel in this.
He would be a nobody had he not had such a background.
Grandma Mo was very indifferent, “Why do you need the money?”
Mo Huai said, “I have no choice. I was drinking with my little uncle at noon. We got into a fight accidentally when we drank too much. I hit his head by accident and there was quite a lot of blood.
“I have to compensate him with some money. This includes treatment fee, nutrition fee, work leave fee and others. At least I need to give him one thousand yuan. If not, they will definitely find me trouble. I don’t want to lose my reputation.”
Grandma Mo’s eyes darkened.
His little uncle was the youngest son in the Jiang family. He was spoiled by the entire family and was just a playboy.
The Jiang family’s reputation was not bad as well. Though they could not compete with the Mo family, they were quite famous in the capital.
Though the standard to enter the Mo family was very high, Grandma Mo was very clear of his eldest son’s personalities. He was just a coward. He was weak and could not take any responsibility.
That was the reason why they chose Jiang Hongying.
Jiang Hongying was the eldest in the family. She had an elder brother but he passed away from illness. Without a man in the family, she was the one who took responsibility for everything.
The Jiang family waited for years to get another son. Jiang Hongying played her role well as the elder sister. She was very responsible and decisive.
The eldest daughter-in-law that the Mo family was looking for must be able to take responsibility for the position. As his son’s personality was flawed, she felt that Jiang Hongying could complement his son.
Jiang Hongying was indeed a responsible person. However, all her sense of responsibility was solely on the Jiang family.
She supported everything for her brother without a limit.
Grandma took a cold glance at Mo Huai and said, “One thousand yuan? Did you cause him a serious injury? Do you want to get a doctor?”
