Mo Qingze knew his second aunt would not let him in, so he did not insist any further and left with his children in hand.
Mo Yan picked up the two sticks of cured meat, two chickens, and a few packages of pastries that had been placed on the ground, and deliberately said aloud,
"Aunt by marriage, these are all gifts my father brought to supplement Second Uncle's health. Since we can't see him, please convey our regards on our behalf. We'll come to visit him next time."
The commotion at Lao Mo's House had already stirred the neighbors, and many stood at their doorsteps looking this way.
Seeing that Mo Yan, who had been turned away from the door, was not angry but instead left such generous New Year's gifts, the onlookers clicked their tongues in surprise and felt that Mrs. Hong must have had her brain squeezed by a door to foolishly chase away such a generous and wealthy relative.
