Chapter 71: The Worries of the Mo Family

During the time Jian Yuncheng left the Jian Residence, Mo Shiyun had started arguing with her mother in their nearby cabin.

Mother, please dont do this kind of thing next time. I already promised you that Ill prepare a gift, Mo Shiyun said whilst frowning. Her tone sounded rather helpless.

What are you talking about? Aunt Mo replied in a confused tone.

Young master Yunchengs gift. You shouldnt have done that.

Wait. Didnt you prepare that gift? Aunt Mo asked back. Her expression appeared to be surprised.

Mo Shiyun discovered from her mothers expression that her mother was indeed unaware of the situation.

You didnt do it? Then. Mo Shiyun trailed off in bewilderment.

I assumed the gift was prepared by you. I dont think anyone else in the Jian family would have considered preparing a gift So Mother thought Ahhhh Was it not your gift?

Both of them were in shock,

They had assumed that the other person had done it. However, now they discovered that wasnt the case.

Then, Aunt Mo panicked, What do we do now? Will we be discovered?

Mo Shiyun frowned as she thought carefully about the situation.

When Aunt Mo saw her daughters expression, she began to blame herself, This is all my fault. I shouldnt have suggested that you prepare a gift. From the beginning, it was just an extra burden for you to bear. And now And now its caused trouble

When Mo Shiyun saw her mothers guilty expression, she couldnt help but feel bad as well.

Mother, forget it. Dont blame yourself either. Youre doing things for my good.

Mo Shiyun attempted to comfort her mother.

However, Aunt Mo started to worry. What if the person who gave the gift turned up? If they do, wouldnt they realize that were lying? And if they found out, would young master Yuncheng kick us out? I cant lose this job If I do, how do I pay for your university tuition

Mother, itll be fine. In a while, Ill finish knitting a sweater. Then Ill take a few photos of the sweater to keep as proof. Ill then throw a similar paper bag into the bushes of the garden. At that time, well have a valid explanation.

Although this wasnt the best thing to do, she couldnt change the past. Mistakes had already been made. The only thing that she could do now was to find a way to make up for it.

She couldnt let her mother lose this job. The job was incredibly important to her mother.

Her mother already worked incredibly hard to take care of her and make sure she could go to school.

After she heard Mo Shiyuns words, Aunt Mos mood improved significantly.

However, a moment later, Aunt Mo started to speak in a remorseful tone, Its all my fault. Your mother is useless. Im always dragging you down. You even have to worry about these small things If I were a little more competent, you wouldnt have to live such a life

Aunt Mo always felt that she owed her daughter. Due to her inability, her daughter had to suffer with her.

Mo Shiyuns heart was moved as she gazed at her mother.

Mother, dont say such things. Youre already working incredibly hard. Look at your own hands Mo Shiyun said as she grabbed at her mothers coarse hands. Her heart ached when she saw them.

In terms of age, her mother was seven to eight years younger than Madam Wen Nuan.

However, when her mother stood together with Wen Nuan, Wen Nuan appeared to look ten years younger.

Wen Nuan was born into a good family. After she grew up, she also married well. She lived like royalty and didnt have a single worry in her life.

In contrast, Aunt Mo was born into a poor family. She didnt get much of an education. Later, she also married a bastard who cheated on her a few years after marriage. The man left his wife and daughter to fend for themselves.

Mo Shiyun understood where her mother was coming from. Her mother didnt want her to follow her old path. This was precisely why she desperately tried to get her to attend a good school and meet outstanding individuals. She didnt want her daughter to follow her footsteps.
