Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 282: Obtaining the Store and Tricking the Zhang Family (4)_1

Mo Yan frowned and pushed the door open, walking straight past Zhang Ming, with Lizhong following close behind, not sparing Zhang Ming a glance.

"Ah—what do you, an old wretch running out of heirs, want here? Are you trying to bring your bad luck to my Zhang Family again? Scram, get out of here quickly, my Zhang Family does not welcome you!"

A shrill curse awoke Zhang Ming, who hastily bolted the courtyard door and rushed back into the house, only to see his mother from the Hu family pointing angrily at his former father-in-law.

At that moment, the only people in the room were Zhang Fugui, sitting silent at the head, the ranting Mrs. Hu, and the just-arrived Zhang Ming. Yao Taohua and the children were not at home.

Lizhong stood as if he hadn’t heard the rant of Mrs. Hu, but his hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a tight fist.

Mo Yan could not bear to listen anymore and stared coldly at Mrs. Hu, "It’s better to accumulate virtue with your mouth; be careful or you’ll end up in the underworld, where King Yama will cast you into the Hell of Tongue Ripping."

Hearing this, Mrs. Hu’s fury exploded, and she directed her anger toward Mo Yan, "You little harlot, daring to curse me to hell; watch as I tear apart your crow’s mouth."

So saying, her short, plump body lunged at Mo Yan, extending her long-nailed hand.

Mo Yan had no patience to quibble with an ignorant shrew and agilely stepped aside as she lunged. Unnoticed, Lizhong quietly stuck out a foot.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Hu tripped and fell hard, wailing on the cold, hard ground.

"Mother—" Zhang Ming hurried over to help Mrs. Hu up: "Mother, are you alright?"

"Oh, my foot... I fear it’s broken from the fall, quickly, son, go beat this wretched girl to death for your mother."

Mrs. Hu wailed, her fall had been far from light, but instead of thinking about calling a doctor, she persistently clamored to deal with Mo Yan.

Mo Yan shook her head; Mrs. Hu’s level of absurdity could rival that of Mo Hong’s family; Aunt Li truly endured much over the years, she thought.

She had come specifically for the store matter and did not want to waste time on this foolish woman. So, she took out the deed from her sleeve, unfolded it, and handed it over to Zhang Fugui, who had remained silent throughout, saying bluntly,

"Boss Zhang should recognize this, right? It’s the one the Punishing Shopkeeper from Huixian Residence just signed with you. I am the real buyer of the store, but I can’t wait for the transfer two days from now. Boss Zhang, you must come with me to the Government Office today and get this matter settled."

Initially immobile, Zhang Fugui finally showed some reaction. His aged eyes bore into the deed, and noticing his and the Punishing Shopkeeper’s names and personal seals, he knew at a glance that the deed was genuine.

A glint of sharpness passed through his eyes before he spoke heavily, "I have said before, the goods in the store are not yet sorted out; we need to wait a couple of days before transferring ownership at the Government Office."

Mo Yan smirked coldly, "Transfer today, and I will give you two days to sort things out. Anyway, we must go to the Government Office today. If you refuse to go, I will have no choice but to file a complaint at the Government Office."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fugui’s already unpleasing complexion turned even darker: "Are you questioning my integrity? I will return your silver, and I will not sell the store."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan knew her prior concerns were not unfounded; the Zhang Family was indeed hiding something.

Thinking this, her smile grew colder: "Does Boss Zhang not want to hand over the store? Fine, I will go to the Government Office now and ask the Fair and Upright God to preside over justice. I would like to see if those who paid silver, yet cannot get the store, are willing to let the Zhang Family off."
