Mo Yan hurriedly waved her hand, "I specially came to find Little Brother Zhu, may I know if Little Brother Zhu is free?"
Little Zhu was startled for a moment, scratched his head with a smile, and said, "Miss Mo, please wait a moment, let me just explain things in the kitchen first."
Mo Yan nodded, allowing him to go ahead with his tasks. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Soon after, Little Zhu came out and led Mo Yan to the backyard, a quiet place suitable for talking.
"Little Brother Zhu, the Zhang Family came to make trouble as soon as the rice shop opened, and I’d like to ask for your help in finding a couple of clever people to put on an act," Mo Yan didn’t beat around the bush and directly voiced her request.
Upon hearing this, Little Zhu anxiously said, "That Zhang Family is too shameless, they’ve already sold the shop to you, why are they causing trouble again?"
Mo Yan smiled helplessly, "Probably because they can’t let go. With them making such a fuss, my business has been affected."
"Miss Mo, you say the word—as long as it’s not about killing or arson, I can definitely find the people for you," Little Zhu assured her, thumping his chest.
"Then let me thank Little Brother Zhu in advance." Mo Yan bowed slightly, sincerely thanking him. Indeed, she had troubled him quite a bit over the shop.
Little Zhu quickly stepped back, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Miss Mo, you come to me because you think highly of me, helping with a little thing like this is nothing to thank me for!"
Mo Yan didn’t stand on ceremony anymore and proceeded to explain in detail what she wanted to do. The task wasn’t difficult; she just wanted to cause some trouble for the Zhang Family so that they would have no time to cause any more disturbances. If that didn’t work, she would have to find another way to deal with the family once and for all.
After Little Zhu heard her plan, he also thought it was easy and laughed, "Miss Mo, rest assured, within a day, the Zhang Family will definitely be too busy to bother you."
Mo Yan thanked him again and took out five ounces of silver from her pouch, "This silver is for Little Brother Zhu to handle. Please treat them to a drink. Once the matter is settled, there will be an additional reward."
This wasn’t the first time for such matters, and it might not be the last, so Little Zhu accepted the silver readily. As for the reward, he was sure not to take it, whatever it was; for such a small task, five ounces was already much more than enough.
With Little Zhu willing to help, Mo Yan felt half relieved. She then made another trip to Mu’s Shop to have the carpenter there make another wooden house for Dabai, just like the one they had done previously for Little Flower, to prevent the two creatures from causing a ruckus.
The small wooden house required delicate work and would take two days to complete. Mo Yan gave the instructions and greeted the shopkeeper before heading back to her shop.
In the afternoon, business picked up gradually, and they sold five to six hundred jin of grains and over three hundred eggs. By Shen Time, there were hardly any customers left, and after filling each barrel and tallying up the stored grains, they locked up and returned to Liu Yang Village with the newly purchased horse and flat cart.
The addition of one more horse delighted all the little ones at home. Seeing the scars all over the old horse, Zhenzhen shed a few tears, quietly went to the backyard to pull up some fresh cabbages, and fed them to the old horse, also giving it a name—Da HongZao.
The Mo Family’s livestock room was spacious, housing both cows and horses together, without any partition between them. For the arrival of Da HongZao, Little Black and Da Huang showed no rejection, instead, they offered their own dry straw and vegetables for it to eat.
In the depths of winter, there was no fresh grass, and these dry straws were all collected and dried by the little ones from the wild before. The backyard was full of green vegetables and radishes, feeding mostly into their stomachs to prevent them from losing too much weight in the winter.
Da HongZao appeared very old, and years of labor had left its body extremely weak. Mo Yan diluted Spirit Spring Water with plenty of plain water for it to drink, fearing that it wouldn’t be able to handle the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Spring Water and would end up with diarrhea that could drain it completely.
