214 The warmth of a family
"...Uh, wife, no, no, I should call her daughter-in-law..."
The three of them stared at each other, and the scene became quite awkward.
Finally, they all chose to look away and refocus their attention on Chu Jiuyue, who was still excited and talking non-stop.
At this moment, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze, filled with a subtle and unpredictable atmosphere.
Perhaps only Grandma Mo, who sat calmly to the side, watched everything unfold with a smile.
However, judging from her slightly furrowed brows, she was actually quite embarrassed.
In her beautiful and deep eyes, there was a faint, elusive light, as if endless thoughts were intertwined and swirling within them, pondering profound questions that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
She and her husband were extremely fortunate and happy about Chu Jiuyue's appearance, because her arrival made their family different and brought about continuous changes in them.
Her appearance, becoming their daughter-in-law, was like a bright ray of dawn piercing the dark night sky.
For the entire Mohist school, her arrival was undoubtedly a great blessing.
Ever since she stepped into the Mo family's gates, everything has begun to subtly change.
The first to be changed was the Mo family's grandson, who was once aloof and cold. Under her warm and loving care and companionship, the grandson gradually shed his cold exterior and showed a more down-to-earth side.
He learned to care for others, to share his joys and sorrows, and his whole being radiated unprecedented vitality.
At the same time, the originally dull and oppressive family atmosphere of the Mo family was completely renewed because of her presence. The women in the family were inspired by her positive attitude, and their personalities also underwent subtle changes.
Grandma Mo keenly noticed that the women of the Mo family were no longer as silent, gentle, and quiet as they used to be; they were gradually revealing their long-hidden, lively nature.
Everyone's personality began to shine with its own unique brilliance. Even Mo Tiantian, who was always well-behaved, gentle, and quiet, was no longer as weak and demure as before under Chu Jiuyue's subtle influence.
Today, Mo Tiantian has more autonomy and no longer blindly follows the opinions of others, but bravely expresses her own thoughts and opinions.
Faced with this series of delightful changes, Grandma Mo felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Chu Jiuyue.
She knew that it was the arrival of this granddaughter-in-law that injected fresh blood and vibrant vitality into this somewhat old-fashioned family.
This family desperately needs this kind of vitality and change to break the long-standing silence and usher in a brighter tomorrow.
"Mom, do you think the same way I do? Don't you think what I said makes perfect sense?" Chu Jiuyue interrupted Mo's mother without any politeness. Her delicate little face was full of expectation and confidence, as if she was certain that Mo's mother would give a positive answer.
She blinked her bright, star-like eyes and stared intently at Mo's mother, looking like an adorable kitten eager for its owner's praise.
Meanwhile, Mo's mother was somewhat taken aback by Chu Jiuyue's sudden action. The rebuttal that was already on the tip of her tongue was swallowed back because of Chu Jiuyue's hopeful eyes.
Her lips twitched uncontrollably a few times, and she muttered to herself that this mischievous girl was truly hard to handle.
However, in the end, Mo's mother nodded helplessly, agreeing with Chu Jiuyue's point of view. Not only that, she continued, following Chu Jiuyue's lead, "That's right, you're absolutely right! A man like that really has no redeeming qualities... cough cough, oh no, no, if he can't handle things properly in the future, wouldn't our Tiantian suffer? So, it's better to see him clearly sooner rather than later, to avoid future grievances. Hmm, you're absolutely right!"
And so, under Chu Jiuyue's barrage of words, Mo's mother unknowingly veered off course from the original topic.
What's even more amazing is that as she kept agreeing with what Chu Jiuyue said, Mo Mu felt more and more that what she said was simply the truth!
So she got more and more excited as she talked, completely forgetting all the thoughts that had been on her mind before.
This scene left the two men standing nearby completely dumbfounded.
They looked at each other, feeling both amused and helpless at the scene unfolding before them.
However, at the same time, both of them felt deeply grateful to Chu Jiuyue for her actions. After all, if she hadn't cleverly diverted Mo's mother's attention, this conversation might have dragged on for much longer.
They knew that Chu Jiuyue was patiently guiding Mo's mother at this moment, and her purpose was self-evident—she hoped that Mo's mother could untie the knot in her heart and thus face the various challenges and opportunities in life with a more open-minded and cheerful attitude.
Although she may not be able to fully let go of it yet, it is undeniable that thanks to Chu Jiuyue's unremitting efforts, Mo's mother is no longer as stubborn as she used to be in clinging to her original ideas, and the heavy knot in her heart has been quietly loosened by most of it.
In this scene, Mo's father's gaze towards Chu Jiuyue softened even more, like the warm sunshine of spring gently falling on the earth, warm and full of love.
His eyes were filled with a gentle smile, like ripples spreading across a clear lake, a heartfelt expression of appreciation and gratitude for Chu Jiuyue.
At this moment, Mo's father was filled with mixed emotions.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "Marrying my son this time was truly a wise move!"
First, thanks to Chu Jiuyue, her son's injured legs received effective treatment, and then the whole family experienced a series of delightful changes as a result.
The daughter in the family has changed from being docile and silent to being optimistic and assertive; the wife is no longer depressed all day long, but has gradually shown a long-lost smile; even the relationship between him and his wife has become much more harmonious than before... All these pleasing changes are due to this virtuous and intelligent daughter-in-law.
I have to say, this daughter-in-law is truly a wonderful choice!
"Mumu!"
Mo's mother held Chu Jiuyue's (Mumu's) hand tightly, her eyes reddening, and her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Mom is filled with gratitude for you from the bottom of her heart."
"Actually, Mom knows perfectly well that the reason you did this is simply to help Mom let go of the tangled mess in her heart. Come on, baby, listen to what Mom has to say."
"Mom knows all about it. When you first met and got along with our family, it wasn't always smooth sailing. But no matter what storms you went through in the past, from the moment you stepped into the gates of our Mo family, you have become an inseparable part of our Mo family!"
At this point, Mother Mo took a deep breath and then continued solemnly, "My child, no matter what schemes and plans you have in the future, our Mo family will stand behind you unconditionally and support you. We will never stand idly by and watch any outsider dare to lay a finger on you!"
"So, my child, you just need to remember one thing—no matter when or where, your family will always be firmly behind you!"
"We will always be by your side. From now on, you will no longer be fighting alone!"
Looking into Chu Jiuyue's eyes with deep affection and tenderness, Mo's mother said softly, "From today onwards, we are a real family! I will never be distant or polite with you again. At the same time, I hope you can truly understand that we are a close family and must bravely face the hardships and challenges in life together."
"Our hearts are all closely connected. No matter what twists and turns we may encounter in the future, the Mohist school will always be your strongest and most reliable support!"
At this moment, Mo's mother's heart was filled with deep gratitude for Chu Jiuyue.
Because only she herself truly knew how much untold pain, frustration, resentment, and even lingering resentment were hidden deep within the heart of this seemingly incredibly strong child…
No matter how rugged and thorny the road ahead may be, Mo's mother sincerely hopes that she can deeply understand that the Mo family will always be like a towering mountain, becoming her most stable and indestructible support.
No matter when or where, she is never alone in her struggle against difficulties and obstacles.
The Mohist school will always be like an ever-shining star, eternally protecting her, walking alongside her, advancing and retreating together, like a towering tree in her life, giving her endless support.
It can be said that as long as the Mohist school exists, she will never be isolated and helpless, and will never have to face the ups and downs of life alone.
At this moment, the father and son gazed at the scene before them with great joy, their faces revealing their deep affection for their beloved wives and their profound and intense emotions.
Those gentle, watery eyes, like the warm sunshine of spring, softly fall upon them, making them feel warm and at ease.
Meanwhile, Grandma Mo watched the two loving couples quietly with a kind smile on her face.
Her heart, weathered by life's hardships, was now filled with indescribable joy, like a clear spring flowing gently within.
Her gaze involuntarily turned to the old man outside the gate. Their eyes met, and in that instant, a thousand words were unspoken.
No need for many words, just that one moment of eye contact, all the deep affection was conveyed to each other's hearts.
Just then, a clear and melodious voice rang out: "Mumu, let's hurry up and get out there! The situation outside is still unclear. How exactly is that kid from the Wang family handling things? We need to speed things up and get there quickly, or we might miss those exciting scenes!"
Upon hearing this, the father and son exchanged glances, momentarily speechless.
Grandma Mo sat in the chair, her lips twitching slightly uncontrollably. Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and amusement, her gaze fixed on her daughter-in-law, who was gradually becoming more oblivious.
The daughter-in-law excitedly held her granddaughter-in-law's hand, as if leading her onto a bright path to the pinnacle.
Grandma Mo sighed inwardly, feeling like she was being driven crazy by this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Just then, the daughter-in-law suddenly turned around and asked with a big smile, "Mother, would you like to come with us?"
Before Grandma Mo could answer, she quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh, forget it! This is a matter between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you shouldn't get involved! I know your old bones can't take this kind of commotion! You should just rest at home!"
Grandma Mo was already exhausted by her daughter-in-law's gossipy and overly enthusiastic nature, and had no energy left to deal with it.
After all, these things are unlikely to cause any major disaster.
Besides, there really aren't any major issues at home that require the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to worry about these days.
Even on ordinary days, there aren't many heavy tasks waiting for them to handle, so although Grandma Mo finds her daughter-in-law's little hobby a bit absurd and laughable, she doesn't interfere.
Besides, there's really no need for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be busy with all sorts of things. Nothing earth-shattering happens, so Grandma Mo naturally doesn't bother with their trivial little squabbles.
She waved her hand gently, the movement elegant yet resolute, as if shooing away annoying flies.
She frowned slightly, feigning a look of disgust on her face, signaling them to leave quickly.
She really didn't want to look at what was happening in front of her anymore; out of sight, out of mind.
"..."
The father and son standing to the side silently watched as the grandmother (mother) showed such obvious disdain for her daughter-in-law. They exchanged glances, and each of them read deep helplessness in the other's eyes.
Finally, the two slowly stood up, following closely like shadows the two figures that had just left.
"My dear wife, our family is getting better and better these days," the old man sighed, his voice full of emotion and relief.
“Who says otherwise!” the old lady echoed, a look of ease and joy also appearing on her face.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried along and soon arrived at the scene of the incident.
They had initially thought the commotion would subside quickly, but to their surprise, what they witnessed next was even more spectacular than before.
Unfortunately, this dramatic plot was so intense that it hurt the eyes and left viewers with mixed feelings.
Chu Jiuyue stared intently at the so-called chosen one, her gaze filled with a complex and unfathomable mix of emotions.
She couldn't help but wonder: Was Heaven blind, or did it truly have no other choice but to select such an unsightly fellow as the chosen one?
Just then, a sudden voice rang out—
"No, host."
