Let's Have A Child (4)

"But, Grandfather, helping them does not mean indulging them without limits. I'm the master of the Mo family, and we have many relatives in the other branch of the family! We even have relatives who are older than you, and there's even your older cousin's grandfather! Even they do not speak to us like Great-aunt does.0

"The country has laws, and a family has rules. Everyone has to obey the rules."

Old Master Mo was not stupid. In fact, he was intelligent, very intelligent. He was extremely good at managing the family.

The Mos were such a large family that he obviously knew how important the position of the master was. Great-aunt Mo was clearly making trouble.

An important family could not tolerate something like that. Mo Beihan was right.

He had always been very concerned about the honor of the Mo family. Otherwise, he would not have spent all his time and effort on this family. Now that he was old, he just wanted to see the Mo family carry on progressing. He did not want anything to go wrong now, at this turning point in society's development.

Old Master Mo lifted his head and glanced at Great-aunt Gu. "Is he the master of the Mo Family or are you the master?"

"I…" Great-aunt Mo spluttered. "It's true that he's the Mo family's master, but I'm his elder. He…"

"He should obey you just because you're his elder? Do you know what's happening in the capital? Do you know how the Mo family is developing? The family has so many internal and external affairs that even I cannot manage them all. You're just an uneducated old lady from the countryside who has never seen the world. What do you know?"

Great-aunt Mo was humiliated. "I'm his elder, how can he speak to me like that?"

"He's teaching you a lesson. The master of the Mo family has the authority to do that!"

Great-aunt Mo: "…"

Old Master Mo was really angry this time. He must certainly uphold Mo Beihan's position as master.

He must have absolute authority and status within the Mo family. Otherwise, he would not be able to control the other branch of the family.

Now that the markets were opening up and the economy was developing, all the big families were changing. Some of them rigidly stuck to jobs and looked down on businesses. Others saw the opportunities and were frantically making money and living in the lap of luxury!

Mo Beihan had undertaken many businesses overseas and had plenty of money. He had always been able to keep his cool. Under his guidance, the younger ones in his family were all very obedient and continued to study hard in school.

As for the other branch of the family, Old Master Mo knew that some of them had grown impatient. They wanted to use the Mo family's status to earn money. If Mo Beihan could not keep them in check, they would bring the Mo family down.

Great-aunt Mo was quivering in rage, unable to speak. Zhou Furong could not stand it any longer. She had already been provoked by Zhong Guangping just now in the streets, and now that she was back, Mo Beihan was not going to stand up for her as master of the family. Now he was berating her mother. If this carried on, what standing would they have in the Mo family?

Zhou Furong said angrily, "Uncle, no matter what, my mother is his elder. She…"

"Who are you to interrupt!"

Zhou Furong: "…"

After all that had happened, Old Master Mo was in no mood to bother with these people. He cared about his friend, but these people had disappointed him.

For Fang Zhenguo's sake, he did not mind lending them a hand, but it was clear that they must be taught a lesson. Otherwise, considering their personalities, they would certainly be at a disadvantage in the capital.

Why not let Mo Beihan whip them into shape first!

Once they know the rules, they would know their place. Then the Mo family could help them.

Old Master Mo simply stood up. "It's getting late. I'll go and rest now!"
