Chapter 68 Is That Really What You Said?

  Chu Lishou said angrily, his face turned red with rage, and even his voice was loud and frightening.

  Mo heard that her husband was anxious, and hurriedly went forward to comfort him, but Chu Lishou waved his hand in refusal, still muttering to himself: "If it were just a matter of spending more money, I could let it go. But she rarely goes to town. Seeing the money being spent like this, my heart aches too. Whether or not we get our share of the silver is not important, but what I remember is when our Guihua was ill and we asked her for dozens of coins to see a doctor, what was her attitude? She clutched at it tightly, as if giving up one coin would be like taking her life. Today, I really couldn't bear it, so I mentioned it, but do you know how she responded?"

  "What?" Mo's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, her face solemnly staring at Chu Lishou, her heart was also lifted high.

  "She, she, she actually said that our family's Guihua's life is worthless, not worth the money. You can buy pork and eat it, but if you spend money on Guihua, don't even mention meat, you'll have to buy several pounds less of rice! My child's mother, I'm her own son, Guihua is her own granddaughter, how could she say such a thing?! With one breath, Chu Lishou, this big man, finally couldn't control himself and burst into tears, covering his face."

  Mo's face was also pale, standing still, tears unknowingly filled her eyes, falling down like a broken string of pearls.

  The man in his own home knew that Chu Lishou was not a good talker, and even more so, he was not a man who liked to gossip about others. But now he had been angered to the point of crying out in pain, which showed just how harsh Xu's words must have been earlier that day.

  At first, Guihua was seriously ill, and Xu Shi did not want to spend money on treatment. Mo Shi had grievances in her heart, but she didn't say much. She used her own private money and even pawned the last bit of dowry she had left.

  Fortunately, the osmanthus flower saved her and there were no bad aftereffects. Mo's heart was still very happy.

  But when she heard that her own daughter was said to be not even as good as a piece of pork, how could Mo's heart not ache? Moreover, this was said by the child's own grandmother, which made Mo even more unbearable.

  "Father, did she really say that?"

  The sound of Osmanthus fragrans suddenly came from the doorway, and Chu Lishou and Mo Shi's bodies stiffened at once, then simultaneously turned their heads to look towards the door, but saw that Gui Hua and several other children were standing at the door, all with not very good-looking faces.

  "Osmanthus, you, you..." Mo Shi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

  Chu Lishou wiped away the tears on his face and was also caught off guard by Guihua's sudden appearance, leaving him speechless.

  "Dad, Mom, we just heard you two seemed to be quarreling and were worried, so...so..." Mei Hua explained why they appeared at the door.

  Osmanthus slightly took a deep breath, then lifted her foot and walked into the house, pulling Mo Shi to sit on the kang together. With one hand holding Chu Lishou's hand, she said seriously: "Dad, mom, let's consider all other things as past and never mention them again. Now I just want to ask you, do you really want this family to break up?"

  Perhaps influenced by the solemnity of the Osmanthus flowers, Mo Shi and Chu Li's expressions also turned serious.

  The other three children at the door had also come in early and were now standing by the kang, looking at their parents just like Guihua.
