229 Arrival of the Mo Couple
There were a total of 16 northerners that Shi Lichun received. They were not from the same province or city but were here because they were orange lovers.
They met on the forum and arranged to meet.
Within the group, there were males and females of different ages. The youngest was 18 years old and had just come of age. The oldest was in his sixties, but most of them were in their middle age and seemed to be retired.
Among them was a middle-aged couple. Although they were dressed in ordinary-looking clothes, they had a clear aura that was difficult to ignore.
They wore casual clothes, and sneakers, and carried a small bag.
Mrs. Mo lowered her head and said to Mo Ronghua, “Hubby, I heard that this Shi Lichun is our daughter-in-law’s eldest uncle. So, when you speak to him later, you can’t have a black face and the same attitude as when you reprimand your subordinates. You have to speak gently, understand?”
When Mo Ronghua heard his wife’s words, his face darkened. He said angrily, “Wifey, do you think I don’t know? That’s my daughter-in-law’s eldest uncle. He’s also our son’s eldest uncle. That’s family. Does a family need to talk like that?”
Mrs. Mo said, “I’m just reminding you. Although we’re a family, look at how you usually scold your son. So I don’t want our daughter-in-law to be frightened by you before she marries into the family. Do you still want your grandchild?”
Mo Ronghua was even more speechless.
He said, “Madam, what kind of person do you take me for? You’ve been married to me for 30 years. Look at me. When have I ever been fierce to you?”
Mrs. Mo nodded and said, “That’s true. We’ve been married for 30 years and 106 days. You’ve never been fierce to me! However, that doesn’t mean you won’t be fierce to others. Moreover, my daughter-in-law, eldest uncle, and her other family members are all country bumpkins. You can’t have any prejudice or look down on them.”
Mo Ronghua was even more speechless.
He said helplessly, “Honey, do you think your husband is a person who discriminates? Do I look like that kind of person?”
Mrs. Mo pursed her lips and said, “I know you’re not that kind of person, but I’m just reminding you.”
Mo Ronghua was speechless. Madam, I don’t need you to remind me. Thank you!
While the two of them were whispering, the boy who had hurriedly bought oranges by the road returned with a few catties of navel oranges.
He gave everyone an orange and said with a smile, “I didn’t know if these navel oranges were delicious, so I didn’t buy too many. I just bought one for each of us according to our numbers.”
When he distributed it to Mo Ronghua and her husband, he smiled brightly and said, “Uncle Rong, Aunt Rong, try it too!”
Mo Ronghua and his wife were hiding their real names and assumed the surname, Rong.
Therefore, many of the youngest people in this group called them uncle and auntie.
Mo Ronghua’s attitude was very serious, but Mrs. Mo took the orange and smiled. “Thank you, Little Xu.”
“You’re welcome, Aunt Rong. It’s fate that we met. Try it first. I’ll share the remaining oranges with the others.” With that, he ran away.
After Duoduo left, Mrs. Mo said unhappily, “Look at your attitude. You scared the child so much that his face turned pale. He’s not your accomplice or your business partner. Why are you pulling a long face? Are you going to be like the Black and White Impermanences?”
Mo Ronghua was speechless again. He said, “You can’t blame me for this! How would I know that he’s so timid? Besides, I’m just standing here. I don’t think I said anything, right?”
Mrs. Mo laughed coldly and said, “Aren’t the Black and White Impermanences just standing there? Isn’t it scary?”
Mo Ronghua couldn’t win against his wife. He quickly apologized and said, “Alright, Madam, it’s my fault. Why don’t I apologize to Little Xu later?”
Mrs. Mo rolled her eyes and said angrily, “Alright, I asked you to apologize, but you scared him away. Remember, we’re here for a holiday. Oh, we’re also here to see our future daughter-in-law. Don’t let anything go wrong because of your attitude.”
Mo Ronghua smiled and said, “Yes, Madam!”
Mrs. Mo sighed softly. “Why do you think our son is so timid? It’s been 25 years. He finally took a fancy to a woman, and that woman didn’t make him allergic. Why did he run away? If this continues, when will we be able to carry our biological grandchild? We can’t just run to her and say that her son is my biological grandson and my son’s son. She’s going to regard me as a lunatic. No, it’s more likely that she will treat me as the bad mother-in-law who snatched her son!”
At this point, she paused for a moment and said with a very serious expression, “I don’t want to be a bad mother-in-law. I want to be a good mother-in-law of the new century! I want to pamper my future daughter-in-law to the heavens!”
When Mo Ronghua heard this, he said helplessly, “Yes, Madam. You must be the best mother-in-law in the world! However, we have to let our son marry someone as soon as possible!”
Mrs. Mo said angrily and helplessly, “Who do you think this child takes after? Why didn’t he inherit your thick skin? Back then, when you were chasing me, the entire school…”
The thick-skinned Chairman Mo said, “Yes, yes, yes. If I hadn’t been thick-skinned back then, how could I have wooed you, the school belle? Those men who have feelings for you can circle Jingdu City several times! I boldly pursued and confessed to everyone to declare my sovereignty. I want to see how many people dare to have any thoughts and pursue you again! Look, you weren’t able to escape my grasp!”
Mrs. Mo’s face turned red. “What are you talking about? Those men avoided me like a plaque when they saw me!”
“Hehe, those people are only so-so. Most people choose bread when it comes to choosing between love and bread. A few have the courage to choose love, but what can they use to compete with me? They can only choose to give up in shame!”
He felt proud when he thought of the glorious pursuit of his wife.
If he hadn’t been so thick-skinned back then, he wouldn’t have his current happiness and family joy!
The couple whispered to each other, forgetting to eat the orange in their hands.
Although they liked to eat navel oranges, they did not come here with these pink oranges in mind.
Their real goal was to visit their future daughter-in-law, Gu Qingming.
When they came back to their senses, they saw more than ten people, especially the child called Duoduo, looking at them with big eyes.
The couple was baffled.
Mrs. Mo asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Why are you all looking at us?”
There was a glint in Duoduo’s eyes as he said enviously, “Uncle Rong, Auntie, you two are so close!”
