Chapter 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!"
