Mo Huai did not realise that his mother’s attitude was different.
He replied, “It’s not very serious. The wound on the head was big and he lost a lot of blood. It’s just an external injury and should only take a while to recover. I don’t think it will cause any complications.”
Grandma Mo scoffed, “Then just go and apologize. Bring some supplements. Furthermore, it’s not your fault only since both of you were engaged in the fight. As adults, he should be responsible for it as well.”
Er…
Mo Huai was stunned.
“No… Mother, I injured his head. If I don’t give him the money, Hongying would definitely argue with me. She saw the injury of her brother. Their mother was crying so hard. It seemed that she would pass away at any moment due to shortness of breath.
“Hongying was so angry, and tried to comfort her mother down. Initially, she asked for two thousand yuan from me to buy something for her brother. I did not agree and eventually, we compromised with one thousand yuan.
“It’s just one thousand yuan. I’m the one who caused the injury. Let’s just give her the money.”
Grandma Mo curled up her lips.
“Since you’re the one who caused it, use your own money then. How old are you now? You have a job and a family. How dare you ask for money from your parents? Settle it by yourself,” she said in a sarcastic and cold voice.
Er…
Mo Huai was shocked.
This…
When did he even have so much money?
Grandma Mo walked down the stairs and walked towards the dining table to take some food. Steward Zhong prepared chicken soup for the two elderly to prevent them from getting too upset.
Mo Huai dashed over when Grandma Mo was about to sit down.
“I… Mother, I don’t have money. Where do I find one thousand yuan? My income is very little and I give the majority to Hongying. I’m left with less than twenty yuan only.”
Grandma Mo raged, “Since all your money is with Hongying, how could she not know how much money you have? I didn’t take your money. Why are you here asking from me? Ask your wife.”
Er…
Mo Huai was stunned again. He could not understand what was wrong with the old lady today.
“Mother, what’s wrong with you? You’re aware that I don’t have money with me. How is it possible that Hongying will give me money? I definitely need to give them the money since I was the one who injured him. Can you just give me the money first? One thousand yuan is not a lot, right? Just give the money, please.
“Hongying loved her little brother more than our son! If I don’t give them the money, Hongying and her family will not let go easily… Ah… Ahahah…”
Before Mo Huai could finish his words, Grandma Mo was so angry that she poured the entire bowl of soup on Mo Huai.
That was not a small bowl of chicken soup. Steward Zhong asked a servant to prepare a pot of soup, which was served in a large bowl. The soup was intended to nourish their bodies so it was placed near Grandma Mo.
Grandma Mo was trying to suppress her anger. However, she raged after hearing Mo Huai’s words. She could not control herself anymore and poured the large bowl of chicken soup on Mo Huai.
The chicken soup was still very hot. Grandma Mo did not pour it onto his face and instead, towards his chest and shoulder.
The weather was not cold now and Mo Huai only wore a shirt with a thin coat.
The hot chicken soup made him scream in pain.
