The onlooking villagers gathered to watch the commotion swelled in number, while Mo Qingze, his face betraying no expectation of this, stared at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair putting on a play. He very much wanted to sweep away but, as the other party was his elder, he could only patiently explain:
"Second Aunt, it's not that your nephew won't agree, it's just that the rented place is too small. With these people, there wouldn't even be space to sleep. With the cold and freezing weather, we can't possibly have my cousin and niece sleep on the floor!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Hong's family, without a second thought, said, "It's just two more people. In such cold weather, it'll be warmer to squeeze together! If it's really too crowded, then just go rent another room, and that'll be the end of it."
Mo Niu's also nodded vehemently in agreement, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo not feeling the slightest bit that their request was excessive!
