MTL NOVEL Chapter 68 - 68 Nagging Wife
Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Nagging Wife
Xuexue went to the neighbor to borrow a wooden cart, loaded it with clothes, cotton quilts, food, and all sorts of things, and then pulled it slowly to the old residence.
By the time everything was in order, it was already high noon.
The Mo family
Old Lady Mo, having been manipulated by Xuexue into providing both medicine money and food, harbored resentment, but was helpless against Xuexue. This little wretch constantly threatened to report her to the Yamen for murder, and by her demeanor, she didn’t seem to be joking. Old Lady Mo was truly afraid of her.
Xuexue moved items to the old residence, leaving only Madam Xie alone in the room caring for Chuner.
Glancing at the sky, seeing that high noon approached, Old Lady Mo, with her cunning eyes, stormed over to pick a quarrel.
Arriving at the door of the thatched cottage, she raised a foot and rudely kicked open the wooden door…
“Bang!”
The wooden door flew open in response.
The sudden violent kicking open of the door startled Madam Xie inside, and turning around, she saw it was Old Lady Mo.
“Mother-in-law, what is it you want?” Madam Xie asked timidly, shoulders hunching.
“You wretched woman, treating that piece of trash last night cost me plenty of silver, and this morning, you took so much grain from our Mo family. What time is it now? Do we not need to cook? Get moving and cook already,” Old Lady Mo was used to being imperious in front of Madam Xie.
“Mother-in-law, Chuner is at a critical moment right now and can’t be left alone,” seeing Old Lady Mo, Madam Xie was like a mouse before a cat, bowing and lowering her head, her posture very servile.

Indeed, after being oppressed by Old Lady Mo for over a decade, even those with more spirit would have been worn down.
“How precious can one piece of trash be, just die and save us the food,” Old Lady Mo continued her vicious tirade.
Seeing that Madam Xie remained stationary, she became even more infuriated, moved forward, stretched out her claw, and twisted fiercely on Madam Xie’s waist: “What are you standing there for? Go and work!”
“Ah…!”
Taken by surprise by Old Lady Mo’s twist, Madam Xie couldn’t help but cry out in pain, then pleaded, “Mother-in-law, stop it, I’ll go, isn’t that enough?”
“You dirty woman, you deserve nothing but a beating; you itch for one if you don’t get it every day,” Old Lady Mo let go only then, hands on her hips, smugly speaking her mind.
Madam Xie didn’t dare to linger for a moment, immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen to cook.
Picking vegetables, boiling rice, Madam Xie prepared meals for everyone in the Mo family, and then had to feed the chickens and pigs. Amidst this busyness, she still needed to rush back to the room to check on Chuner.
Doctor Xu had said that these three days were critical for Chuner’s life and death; she had to be watched at all times and mustn’t get a fever, else, if the internal injury became inflamed, even immortals would be powerless to save her.
Old Lady Mo was a mercenary person, and calculating that Madam Xie was about done with the household tasks, she walked into the kitchen and said loftily, “Madam Xie, you wretched woman, let me tell you, you have been divorced by our Mo family, no longer our daughter-in-law. Today, you are not permitted to eat the meal of the Mo family, do you hear me?”
“Yes, mother-in-law.”
Having just finished everything, Madam Xie, with her head down, untied the apron from her waist and hung it on the wall next to the door.
Just at this moment, Xuexue returned with the wooden cart, and saw Madam Xie coming out of the kitchen with her head drooping.
“Mother, why are you out here and not looking after Chuner?” Xuexue casually asked.
“Your grandmother called me to cook,” Madam Xie answered honestly.
“Is the cooking done?”
“Yes, it’s done!”
“Great, I’m starving. Mother, hurry and serve me some rice,” Xuexue had been busy all morning and was indeed hungry. Hearing that there was food, she was pleased.
