Chapter 128 The Disliked Female Supporting Character (20)
"That money has already been used to buy a house in the county town, and it's gone forever." Seeing Xiao Qifei's imposing manner, Chen Yuniang shrank her neck and said timidly.
Seeing their expressions, Xiao Qifei figured the house probably wasn't bought for Mo Xiaolong, so he deliberately asked, "Well, grandpa and grandma, that's great, you bought a house for Xiaolong. When are we going to go see the new house?"
As soon as Xiao Qifei finished speaking, Mo Da and Chen Yuniang fell silent again, and there was a moment of silence in the air.
"Grandpa and Grandma, if this house wasn't bought for Xiaolong, then who was it bought for?"
Xiao Qifei had lost patience to continue the conversation. "Was this house bought for Mo Dalong's family again?"
Neither of them responded or expressed their opinion, and Mo Xiaolong's face turned ashen.
"You can leave now! From now on, pretend you never had a son like me!" Mo Xiaolong's hoarse voice rang out. "Consider your demobilization pay as compensation for giving birth to me and raising me!"
"Besides, in my current state, I will only be a burden to others in the future. I'm sorry I won't be able to fulfill my filial duties in the future!"
After Mo Xiaolong finished speaking, he turned his head away and stopped looking at them.
"Ah Fei, forget it, let's just leave it at that!" Mo Xiaolong chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Maybe I was just meant to die in that mission!"
"Little dragon!"
"Aaron!"
Xiao Qifei's and Mo Dachen Yuniang's voices rang out simultaneously. Chen Yuniang, as if she couldn't hold back anything, covered her mouth and ran outside.
After seeing Chen Yuniang leave, Mo Da took one last look at Mo Xiaolong and walked out without looking back.
Mo Xiaolong muttered to himself, "In the end, I'm still the one who gets abandoned!"
Although things have been discussed openly, if Mo Xiaolong continues to recuperate here, the days ahead will likely be anything but peaceful.
Xiao Qifei called in Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhao, and they quickly packed their things, planning to leave immediately to find a hospital in the city for a proper check-up.
He called Zhao Li in, "Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you today. Give me your payment QR code, and I'll pay you for today's room."
Zhao Li had actually been observing for a while and knew that Mo Xiaolong had been essentially given up on by that couple.
He felt a pang of pity. "No need. It's not going to stay overnight anyway, and that little bit of food is nothing!"
"Uncle Zhao, there's actually something else I need to ask of you. If you don't want money, I won't say it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li revealed his payment QR code, and Xiao Qifei paid 500 yuan.
"Isn't this too much?" Zhao Li asked.
"It's nothing. Thank you for your help today, Uncle Zhao. I hope that after we leave, you can spread the word in the village about what the Mo Dalong family has done, so that as many people as possible know about it!"
Xiao Qifei didn't want to put Mo Xiaolong in a difficult position. If he wasn't directly involved in something, then it was none of his business.
Zhao Li smiled knowingly, "That's no problem. Even if you didn't say anything, I would have done it anyway!" Great minds think alike.
Mo Da and Chen Yuniang returned home dejectedly, where they were seen by Liu Dahua and Mo Dalong, who were returning from town.
"Mom and Dad, what's wrong? Why do you look so downcast?"
Mo Da looked at Mo Dalong and was furious. "You unfilial son! It's all your fault for being unfilial!"
Mo Dalong was indignant at being scolded for no reason. "Dad, I didn't do anything today, so why are you scolding me as soon as I get back?"
"Are you even going to care about your brother anymore?" Chen Yuniang asked, her eyes bloodshot.
Liu Dahua's expression was somewhat dismissive. "Why bring up that cripple again? You all agreed to kick him out back then, didn't you?"
"Besides, we didn't stop you from going to see him, so why are you blaming us for no reason!"
"There's no need to go see him anymore. Your brother's comrades have already taken him away." Chen Yuniang slumped to the ground, as if deflated.
"Take them away? Take them where?" Liu Dahua asked anxiously.
"He's at Zhao Li's house at the village entrance now! He's cut ties with us!"
Mo Da's voice was filled with sadness. He was heartbroken to have lost a son, but there was nothing he could do.
When Liu Dahua heard that Mo Xiaolong's comrade-in-arms had arrived, she figured he would definitely bring something for Mo Xiaolong, and those things, in effect, belonged to their family too.
Her eyes lit up. "Da Long, now that Xiao Long's comrade-in-arms is here, we should go and pay him a visit."
Mo Dalong nodded in agreement, and the two of them put their things down on the floor inside the house and hurried towards Zhao Li's house.
Zhao Li was waiting for them at home. He knew these two would come; knowing their personalities, they were just trying to take advantage of him.
"You're just arriving! You're too late, everyone's already gone!"
Mo Dalong and Liu Dahua looked disappointed. They even went to the doorway and looked inside, but they didn't see anyone. Only then did they give up!
"I heard that Mo Xiaolong bought a house in the county town. Why didn't he take you with him?"
Zhao Li knew the whole story and was deliberately teasing them like this.
Liu Dahua couldn't hold back after hearing this, "What Xiaolong's house? That's clearly our Dalong's house!"
"I heard that the house was bought with Xiaolong's demobilization pay, how did it become yours?"
Mo Dalong then stood up and said, "That house was bought for me by my parents!"
Zhao Li scoffed, "You tricked your parents into taking Xiaolong's money to buy a house for the two of you. You're shameless!"
Liu Dahua raised her voice eight octaves, "How can you lie about this? It was clearly consensual!"
Zhao Li's voice was even louder than hers, "Come, come, come, fellow villagers, come and see! Mo Dalong and Liu Dahua are truly shameless! They used Mo Xiaolong's demobilization pay to buy a house in the county and then kicked him out of his home. They are a disgrace to our village..."
At this time, people who were going to work or working in the fields started to return. People gradually came to the village entrance and came over to see what was going on when they heard Zhao Li's shouts.
Mo Dalong and Liu Dahua bought a house without telling anyone in the village, so no one knew. Now that Zhao Li has heard about it, everyone is talking about it.
"Mo Dalong is a farmer, where would he get the money to buy a house? It turns out he used his younger brother's money!"
"He took Xiaolong's money, bought a house, and then kicked people out. Is he even human?"
"That's right, that's right. Aren't Mo Da and Chen Yuniang afraid that they'll get old and unable to move, and then Mo Dalong and his men will kick them out?"
How much do houses in this county town cost?
"It'll cost at least 30 to 40!"
"So expensive! It seems Xiaolong's demobilization pay was really high!"
"I'd be tempted too, but if I bought it, I would absolutely not kick the person out!"
…The discussion grew increasingly heated and absurd, and Mo Dalong and Liu Dahua noticed the strange looks they were getting.
He left in despair.
Among the crowd was a person who worked at the town government. Mo Xiaolong had only been discharged from the army for a year, how come he was living like this?
This kind of treatment of those who defend their country is something we should report to higher authorities…
At this time, Mo Dalong and Liu Dahua, who had escaped, were unaware that they had lost their house in the county and had no choice but to return the money instead of selling it.
