Spring is coming

Chapter 4
When her eldest brother and the others picked up the child, she had persuaded her not to stay. She had told her that it was them who had prevented the girl from suffering, and that it was only because the higher-ups came here that she would die early.

Mrs. Zhou thought bitterly, the little girl's name was full of surprise and fright, wouldn't this frighten the horse and cause him to fall into the ditch?
The Zhou family has always disdainful of studying and learning. Mo Changlin and his wife went to the old gentleman in town to ask for Mo Jingchun's name. It is said that they spent a lot of money on it, which was not worth it for her.

Little Gao doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are when she's not a householder. How great would it be to use this money to send her son to school?
Yes, she doesn't want to see others engage in learning, but she hopes that her son will make a difference.

Sister-in-law Zhou clicked her tongue and said, "Silly girl!"

She said solemnly: "Think about it, besides you and your Yuanlin family, who else in the Mo family can raise that girl? His sister is married, but his brother is not married, but he is still a half-year-old child. Where can he find someone? To raise her? Even if she is to follow your mother-in-law, wouldn’t it be better to use the money handed over by your second wife to raise her? "

Zhou was startled and said in a panic: "What should I do? My Song is already eleven years old, and I still think I can save enough money to send him to the town to find a gentleman for enlightenment next year?"

Mo Changlin works as a bookkeeper in the town, while Mo Yuanlin lives his life dividing the land. The big house's life has always been more comfortable than theirs, so doesn't he have any savings?

Sister-in-law Zhou taught her: "Why don't you be hard-hearted and ask your mother-in-law to speak clearly in front of everyone, and you won't have to deny it in the future. If it is to be recorded in your name, will the girl's future betrothal gifts also be included? It belongs to you? I have to give you most of the remaining money from Dafang. After all, you are at a disadvantage, right?"

"Of course, if she says it's best to take care of yourself, haven't you always wanted to separate the family? Now let everyone witness it and say..." Sister-in-law Zhou licked her teeth, feeling faintly excited, "Just say we should separate the family altogether. , from now on, this girl’s life and death will have nothing to do with your family, do you think so?”

Mrs. Zhou clapped her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to help me later. I have to ask our distant forest first."

Sister-in-law Zhou smiled and spat at her: "You still need to ask? Don't your family always listen to you?"

Zhou said one thing, but Mo Yuanlin would never dare to say two things.

They laughed and joked for a while, and when the mourners came back, Zhou pulled Mo Yuanlin aside and started talking quietly.

Mrs. Zhou dislikes Mo Jingchun so much, mainly because she feels that she has defeated Mo Changlin and his wife. Without the backbone of the family to make money, their living standards will definitely be worse in the future.

Mo Jingchun had a clear view of everything, knowing that Zhou would make a fuss in public in a short while.

She suddenly rested her head on the exhausted Mrs. Gao. Mrs. Gao lovingly touched her granddaughter's head and said softly: "What's wrong?"

Mo Jingchun pursed his lips and smiled, and whispered: "From now on, Chun'er will only have her grandmother."

It was rare for her to show her emotions like this. Gao's hands froze, feeling that all the sorrow of being a mother was poured into this granddaughter.

Gao choked up and turned away.

Mo Jingchun tightened her grip on her skirt. She didn't know if it was enough.

Sure enough, not long after, when lunch was about to begin, Mrs. Zhou suddenly called out to Mrs. Gao in front of everyone in the courtyard.

"Mom, in front of everyone today, I, Zhou Ru, want to ask clearly, who will take care of this Chun'er in the future? If you let me and the second child take care of you, will the remaining money of the eldest brother and the others also get a share? Do we have one share for the second room? If you bring it with you, then I will be the first to say something ugly, this girl can't use a penny from us."

Mrs. Zhou has always been snobbish, Mrs. Gao knew it, but she didn't expect her to turn against others like this.

I didn't see the two of them taking care of Chun'er on weekdays, but today they were coaxed out to clear up their relationship in front of dozens of people?

She thought of Mo Jingchun's voice just now. She said she only had her grandmother, and she was right.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Zhou is always secretly yin and yang, so Chun'er knew at a young age that her second uncle and second aunt didn't like her.

Mrs. Gao's face was getting darker and darker. Although Mrs. Zhou was trembling, she still had the courage to turn Mo Yuanlin's hand and said, "Speak too!"

Mo Yuanlin stood up under the eyes of the elders and brothers of his mother, and said hesitantly: "Mom, the main reason is that we want to send Song'er to school next year. It costs money to study. We don't have much money, so don't blame her."

Madam Gao laughed angrily. Her son was really a good husband and father. Did he forget that his mother was not dead yet? "What do you want?"

Mo Jingchun swallowed and involuntarily took his hand on the corner of Gao's clothes.

Mrs. Zhou sneered, pointed at her and said, "Mom, look how much Chun girl likes you. I think it's good to let her be filial to you."

Mrs. Gao turned to look at Mo Yuanlin again, and saw that he nodded, but Mo Song had gone somewhere long ago and was not in the main room at all.

Mrs. Gao said slowly: "According to your wishes, Chun'er is not allowed to use a penny of your money. What about the money from the public?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled: "Let's separate the families."

She finally brought it up. After being suppressed by the big family for so many years, she could finally feel proud. Otherwise, besides Mo Jingchun, I'm afraid she would have to take care of the marriage of Mo Qinglin.

Mo Yuanlin didn't have any objections. He also wanted to start an independent household and be the master of the family.

Only Mo Qinglin strongly disagreed. He was thirteen this year and would get married in two years. He could still take care of Jingchun without having to worry about the second child's family.

Just as he was about to stand out, Mo Jingchun secretly tugged on his sleeve.

Turning around, he saw Mo Jingchun looking at him with watery eyes, shaking his head at him to signal him not to be impulsive.

Mo Qinglin was the fastest thinking among the four brothers in the family. Suddenly he caught some of Mo Jingchun's emotions. He thought Mo Jingchun was happy now?

Mo Qinglin understood. It turned out that Mo Jingchun didn't like to associate with the second aunt's family.

Well, he settled down reluctantly.

Mo Jingchun's uncles were not very happy. Their niece was disliked. Was this?
Uncle Gao couldn't bear it. He treated her as his own and cared for her for so many years. Who said she wasn't his niece?

Still caring about Mr. Gao's face, he said with a black face: "If your Mo family can't afford to raise a half-grown girl, you can send it to our Gao family to get a pair of chopsticks!"

Zhou is happy to see the success.

She didn't really expect the family separation to be successful. The Gao family was still there. After all, she didn't look good, so she could only live with her mouth.

Unexpectedly, after they had agreed to come and go and pick up Mo Jingchun, Mrs. Gao said, "That's enough! We're going to separate our families. I'll take Chun'er with me."

Mrs. Zhou was shocked.

Uncle Gao was shocked.
Patriarch Mo was shocked.
Mo Jingchun and Mo Qinglin were also shocked.

Mo Qinglin tremblingly shouted: "Mother?"

Mrs. Gao ignored him and said politely to the village chief and clan chief: "You two, let's see together, how should our family be divided? It can be regarded as a testimony."

Most importantly, she was very disappointed with her son and daughter-in-law.

In the future, not only would Chun'er not be able to use a single piece of their family's money, but they would also not be able to use Mo Song as an excuse to get anything from her.
