Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 249: Deciding to Make a Small Profit (1)_1

Not long after, Lizhong came back.

"Yan girl, Mo Yonglu adamantly refuses his wages. He says he wants to see you and is waiting at the door. Do you want to see him?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan felt somewhat irritable, as the ordeal seemed neverending. After considering for a moment, she felt it was better to go out and make things clear: "I’ll go and see what he really wants."

Having said that, she stood up and walked outside.

Lizhong, worried, quickly followed her.

Mo Yonglu paced anxiously outside the courtyard gate. Upon seeing Mo Yan emerge, he sighed with relief before she could speak and took the initiative to say, "Yan girl, I didn’t come with any other intention, just to apologize to you in person for the wrongs I’ve done in the past."

"Apologize?" Mo Yan looked at him indifferently, with an almost mocking tone she repeated the word, "If apologies were useful, would there even be a need for the wicked to be punished?"

Mo Yonglu’s face turned pale, and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes, "I... I didn’t mean that, I know I’ve done many things for which I owe you, I’m not asking for your forgiveness, I only hope to contribute and make amends for my past mistakes."

He himself was not a good person, nor a good father, and failed to guide his daughter properly, leading her to make mistakes and eventually being sold by her own mother. This was already a punishment for him. Now, he only wanted to live a good life and atone for all his past misdeeds. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Looking at Mo Yonglu’s face filled with remorse, Mo Yan’s expression softened for a moment, before returning to her previous cold demeanor: "The damage has been done, and it cannot be undone with mere ’apologies’. From now on, if your family does not cause any more trouble for mine, that will be the best apology."

The original owner’s death was inseparable from this family’s actions, and even if they had eventually brought her benefit, she could not forgive these people on behalf of the original owner. The only way to repay the original owner was to protect this family and prevent anyone from hurting her loved ones again.

"I’m... sorry."

With a look of misery, Mo Yonglu met Mo Yan’s eyes as if looking at a stranger, his heart filled with waves of sorrow.

But still, he had to apologize to the Mo Family: "The earlier destruction of your family’s timber and fruit trees was instigated by Erni, encouraging Yongxi to do it. Since she cannot come to apologize in person, I, as her father, will bow my head and admit the wrong on her behalf, to say ’I’m sorry’."

After speaking, he knelt straight to the ground with a ’thud’ and gave three heartfelt kowtows.

Mo Yan was startled and quickly stepped aside. No matter how much she disliked Mo Yonglu, she couldn’t accept a senior member of the family kneeling down to apologize.

"Please stand up. If you think this way will make us forgive you, you are mistaken. I’ll say it again, as long as your family doesn’t cause any trouble for us in the future, we can live without crossing paths."

Mo Yonglu came in person to apologize, and even spoke out about Mo Erni’s actions, it seemed he truly regretted his past actions, but still, she would never treat him as her uncle in the future.

"I’m... sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yonglu’s face was filled with defeat and bitterness. He had guessed before coming that his cousin’s family would not easily forgive him, but only now, after hearing Yan girl’s words, did he realize that he might never be forgiven.

Seeing that he wouldn’t get up, Mo Yan felt uneasy, "If you want to kneel, then kneel. Even if you wear through this ground with your knees, my words remain the same."

Having said that, without caring whether Mo Yonglu had taken her words to heart or not, she turned around and went inside.

After thinking it over, Lizhong stepped forward to help the crestfallen Mo Yonglu to his feet, unable to help but say, "You should go back. For both your families, living without crossing paths will be the best from now on."
