Chapter 562: An Encounter With Bai Youran (1)

She cried miserably. “No… My son… No… Father, you cannot beat him anymore. Yunhao cannot take it. You can hit me. You can hit me… My son…”
Mo Yunhao was beaten to tears as well, and his face was stained with mucus and tears as he howled in pain. This made Old Master Mo recall how Mo Huai looked when he was beaten up previously. Mo Huai also could not take a beating and screamed like no tomorrow, causing the surrounding neighbours to think that something grave happened to their family.
Mo Yunhao and Mo Huai’s behaviour were truly a disappointment to the tough Old Master Mo.
During these years, the complicated environment made it extremely difficult for the family clan to survive, and he had to be cautious with every step he took. In order to protect the Mo family, he devoted a lot of his time and effort and thus did not have much energy to discipline the children.
Furthermore, even if he did discipline, he could not stop Jiang Hongying from spoiling the child. In the blink of an eye, Mo Yunhao was already a grown man.
If he still did not discipline him, this grandson would be useless!
This time, Old Master Mo was determined to not spoil this child anymore. He gave the child a harsh beating which made Jiang Hongying cry her heart out.
When Old Master Mo finally stopped, he did not send Mo Yunhao to the hospital but told Steward Zhong, “Lock him up in the backyard for two days first.”
As he was the one who beat him, he was very clear that there were only external injuries and there would not be any big issue.
However, this outcome was a bolt from the blue to Jiang Hongying. He looked at Old Master Mo in disbelief and said, “Father, Yunhao is so injured. Are you not going to let him see the doctor? What did he do wrong? Are you going to punish him like this just because he spilled a bowl of soup?”
At the end of Jiang Hongying’s screams, she almost broke her unpleasantly sharp voice.
Old Master Mo looked at her indifferently. “I don’t need to give you an explanation for what I want to do. Jiang Hongying, if you are dissatisfied with the Mo family, you can get lost any time!”
Jiang Hongying was taken aback!
Old Master Mo scoffed. “Steward Zhong, lock her up in the backyard too. Lock the both of them up separately.”
“Yes!”
Mo Yunhao and Jiang Hongying wailed as they struggled against being pulled to the backyard by force. Jiang Hongying shouted at Mo Huai for help, but Old Master Mo looked at Mo Huai who had been silent all this while and asked, “Are you going to plead for them?”
Mo Huai shivered and replied in fear, “N… No!”
Old Master Mo did not know whether to be disappointed or happy.
Although he did not cause a stir like Jiang Hongying and Mo Yunhao, his terrified behaviour was an eyesore.
Without saying anything, Old Master Mo scoffed and, having lost all his appetite, went up the stairs to his study.
Grandma Mo watched the whole scene and sighed heavily. How could she not tell the reason why the old man was so furious?
Sigh…
The future of this family is all up to Beihan!
Gu Qingyao did not know what happened to the Mo family and her days here were pretty good.
Regardless of the resources, the capital had much more of them than her hometown. There were many non-staple food shops here as well, and they were even better than in the provincial capital.
After cleaning up this small courtyard for two days, it was very suitable for living already, and all the required basic necessities were stocked.
Gu Qingyao cooked here every day and bought more items for Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin. Although the weather was becoming cold, they did not lack anything and their lives were much more comfortable than in the Qing River Brigade.
