Chapter 185 – Resolution (2)

“Who’s not letting her eat?” Fuming with rage, Li Xiangyu roared, “She’s the one that didn’t come here. Does she think she’s a rich, noble lady? She even needs a man to bring her meal over. Has her hand rotted or does she have a broken foot?”

Li Mo sat down. Irritated by Li Xiangyu’s words, the happiness that he had gotten from going to Li Man’s hut had completely disappeared. “Big aunt, Man-er is my wife. Even if she was purchased, she’s still my wife. If her hand has really rotted or if she broke her foot, how would this benefit big aunt?”

For a moment, Li Xiangyu was speechless. She blankly looked at Li Xiangcao and Hehua. “What did I say? She even wants you to deliver her meals, but I can’t say a word about that? Is she that precious?”

Li Mo didn’t say anything.

Li Xiangcao quickly tried to persuade, “Older sister, just speak less. These two young ones have a good relationship. Why do you insist on trying to get between them and acting like a villain?”

“Even you see me that way?” Li Xiangyu immediately directed her contradictorily nature on her younger sister. “You all feel disdainful toward me, right? Xiangcao, you’ve gotten yourself into such a horrible state now. Are you blaming me for that too? Back then, if you had listened to one word of my advice, you wouldn’t have fallen to today’s awful state. Every day, that concubine lords herself above you. You’re can’t even return to your maiden home. I had to personally go over there for you to be allowed to step out of your home.”

Li Xiangcao felt extremely embarrassed. “Older sister, why bring this up while we’re eating?” She offered her a pair of chopsticks.

Li Xiangyu didn’t take it. She only said in annoyance, “Can I afford to eat this meal?”

“Big aunt, Man-er is a good woman. You just came here, so you don’t know yet. Since she’s already became a member of our family, I have to take responsibility for her.  As for things like upholding etiquette, I won’t concern myself with other families, but our family doesn’t need it,” said Li Mo very pertinently.

Li Xiangyu’s face paled. “Are you blaming me? Do you think I’m overstepping myself?”

“I know that big aunt has good intentions,” said Li Mo. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and offered it to her. “The food has already gotten cold. If there’s more to say, let’s say it later and eat first.”

Li Xiangyu saw that if she refused to eat, everyone else could only watch her and not eat too. She looked at Little Five, that little imp was probably super hungry by now. And so, she could only take the offered bowl and chopsticks, then she added some meat to Little Five’s bowl. “Here, Little Five eat. We should eat more. Don’t leave any for that ungrateful white-eye wolf to eat.” As she said the last part, she harshly glared at Li Mo.

Li Mo helplessly smiled and didn’t take any of the meat.

Seeing this, Hehua hastily picked up a piece of meat to give him. “Oldest brother Mo, there’s plenty of meat left. You should eat more.”

“I don’t like this.” Li Mo picked up his bowl and moved it away so she couldn’t put the meat into the bowl.

Hehua stood up and stretched her hand out. She thought he was just being polite, so she was determined to put the meat into his bowl.

Li Mo’s face looked embarrassed. He could only accept the food, but he didn’t eat it and gave it to Little Five instead. “Little Five, eat this.”

“You really are an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. Hehua specially cooked this food for you,” said Li Xiangyu indignantly. She gestured for Hehua to sit back down. “Don’t add more food for him. He can’t tell good from bad.”

Li Mo stayed silent.

On the contrary, Hehua felt bad that Li Mo had gotten scolded. “Aunty, don’t speak badly of oldest brother Mo.

Li Xiangyu laughed. “Look at you, are you feeling bad for him?”

Hehua’s tanned face felt hot. It looked as if her face was painted with a layer of red paint. She bashfully complained, “Aunty.”
