The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 327 Being Beaten

Li Mo looked in the direction the shopkeeper pointed, and sure enough, he saw a child holding a piece of wrapped Eight Treasures Cake in his hand. He walked while putting his nose close to it, looking intoxicated.

After hearing the shopkeeper say that this was the last piece, Li Mo didn't care about anything else. He left the shop and chased after the child.

The little boy was intoxicated by the sweet smell of the Eight Treasures Cake and couldn't come back to his senses. Suddenly, an adult appeared in front of him and stopped him.

"You, why are you blocking my way?"

The boy looked up at Li Mo.

Seeing that Li Mo had been staring at the Eight Treasures Cake in his hand, he immediately put his hands behind his back and said nervously: "This was bought with the money my mother gave me."

"Little brother,"

Li Mo bent down and said, "Can you give me the Eight Treasures Cake in your hand? I'll give you money."

"no!"

The boy's head shook like a rattle.

"I haven't eaten Bazhen Cake for a long time. My mother finally agreed to let me buy it!"

"I'll buy it from you at twice the price. If you sell this to me, I can have two pieces tomorrow!"

Li Mo coaxed him.

"no!"

The boy refused again without any hesitation.

"Hey you little kid!"

Li Mo got angry, "Why can't you make sense? Isn't eating two pieces better than eating one?"

"Why don't you keep the money and eat two pieces tomorrow? You must be lying to me!

My mother said that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and told me not to take other people's things. Get out of my way, I want to go home!"

As he said that, he bypassed Li Mo's obstruction and tried to squeeze through from the side.

Li Mo took a step ahead of him and stopped the man again.

When the child saw this, he sat on the ground and started crying without saying a word.

"Mom, mom! There are bad guys here who want to catch me!"

"Hey you stinky kid!"

Li Mo was actually a little panicked for a moment.

He looked around and saw someone looking over here, so he squatted down and coaxed, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm not a bad person, I just want to buy the Eight Treasures Cake in your hand!"

When he heard that he wanted Eight Treasures Cake, the boy cried even louder.

Just when Li Mo was at a loss, a sturdy woman suddenly ran up to him.

The woman held a broom in her hand and ran while shouting, "Who dares to bully my son!"

The other party was coming at him aggressively. Seeing this, Li Mo quickly stood up. He opened his mouth to explain, but the woman didn't even give him a chance to explain and picked up the broom from a distance.

"I let you bully my son, I let you bully my son!"

Li Mo could only dodge, but he was still hit twice in a panic, leaving two cuts on his left cheek and neck.

"Big sister, please listen to my explanation, please listen to my explanation!"

Li Mo ran and shouted until the owner of the Bazhen Cake locked the door, came over and said, "Shengzi's mother, what are you doing? And this young man, didn't you want to buy cakes? Why are you fighting?"

The woman then stopped.

She looked at the shop owner breathlessly and asked, "Mr. Hu, do you know him?"

The boss called Mr. Hu looked at Li Mo again and said, "I don't know him, but he just came to my store to buy Eight Treasures Cake. I said the last piece was bought by your Shengzi, so he came after him."

"Mom, he is a bad guy. He just wants to steal my cake."

"I'm not!"

Li Mo quickly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and said, "I am an adult now, do I really need to fight with a child for food?

I just want to spend money to buy this cake!"

The woman looked at the silver in his hand with shining eyes.

"You're going to spend so much money to buy the Eight Treasures Cake in my son's hand?"

Li Mo nodded: "Yes! I want to buy it back for my wife to eat. Just let your child give it to me."

The woman looked at the silver in his hand again and said hesitantly, "Is the silver in your hand real? You can probably buy twenty pieces of Eight Treasures Cake with this money."

Li Mo pushed the silver in his hand forward again, "How can the silver be fake? Take it and have a look!"

The woman took the silver, looked at it from left to right, bit it with her teeth, and then smiled widely: "It's really true."

"Shengzi, give the Eight Treasures Cake to them."

She put the silver directly into her sleeve and shouted to her son.

When the little boy heard that he could not keep his cake, his face changed immediately: "No, I don't want it!"

The woman coaxed him, "Give this piece to him, and I'll buy you two pieces tomorrow!"

"Really?"

The boy wiped his eyes, somewhat unconvinced.

"Why did I lie to you?"

The woman took out twenty copper coins from her pocket and put them in Mr. Hu's hand, saying, "Mr. Hu, this is the money for two ointments. I will ask my son Shengzi to go and get it tomorrow."

"Row!"

Mr. Hu took the money and agreed.

When the little boy saw that there were really two pieces tomorrow, he finally let go and handed the Eight Treasures Cake to Li Mo.

Li Mo put the Eight Treasures Cake in his arms, turned around and hurried back home.

He had no other thoughts at the moment. He just hoped that Chen Yueting could eat the Eight Treasures Cake he bought in the evening before he had time to eat dinner, and then forgive himself.

Who knows that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

When he stepped into the house and walked into the side hall following the servants' announcement, he saw Chen Yueting already taking the tea for rinsing her mouth from the maid and washing it.

Seeing Li Mo coming back, Mr. Li and his wife were very shocked. They hurriedly asked their son to sit down and asked him about his life.

"Mo'er, why did you come back suddenly?"

"Why didn't you send someone a message before you came back?"

"Is business going well over there?"

"Let me see. Did you not eat well when you were out here alone? I noticed you are much thinner than when you left.

I told you to take good care of yourself, why didn't you listen? "

……

The old couple kept talking to each other, almost touching Li Mo's body from top to bottom.

While answering his parents' questions, Li Mo secretly watched Chen Yueting's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

To his disappointment, Chen Yueting didn't seem to be very surprised by his arrival.

No one hurriedly asked him why he came back, nor did they ask him whether he was going to leave.

Just sitting aside and watching this side with a slight smile on his face.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to take out the Eight Treasures Cake in his arms or not.
