Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 304: The Hu Family’s Stratagems and the Mo Wu Family’s Entreaties (6)_1

"Hmph, keep making excuses, I won’t believe a single word!" Just as she was about to continue beating him, the cries of a child suddenly came from inside the house. Yao Taohua kicked Zhang Ming hard and hurried back into the room to soothe the child.

Zhang Ming touched his bruised arm and swollen ear, his face twisted in pain, increasingly eager to bring Lixiu back home.

The couple had been arguing behind closed doors, but the commotion was so loud that the neighbors on all sides couldn’t help but hear, especially since someone was deliberately standing outside, eavesdropping.

At Huixian Residence, Xiao Zhu dismissed the friend who had come to report the news and hurried to the Mo Family Fragrant Rice Shop before dinner time to inform Mo Yan. freёnovelkiss.com

Mo Yan quickly thanked him. Indeed, Xiao Zhu’s friend proved to be quite capable, stirring trouble in the Zhang family in just one day. Knowing that the Hu family couldn’t leave the bed due to a twisted ankle, Mo Yan felt even more relieved.

It seemed that, for the time being, that family would not cause any disturbance. If they gave up, that would be for the best; if they dared to trouble her again in the future, she would have no choice but to cut the ground from under their feet, preventing the Zhang family from staying in Jing City.

In the evening, Mo Yan returned home and fed Da HongZao with some Spirit Spring Water, also taking out some green vegetables and radishes from the Space for it to eat.

Perhaps a day of good rest had done it well because Da HongZao seemed more spirited. After drinking the Spirit Spring Water, it started having diarrhea again.

Lizhong came with a pile of fodder to feed Little Black and, seeing Da HongZao like this, expressed his confusion: "Little Black and Da Huang had diarrhea as soon as they came to our home. Now, Da HongZao starts again, it’s really strange."

Mo Yan stuck out her tongue and gave a dry laugh, "Maybe they’re just eating too well at our house, and their stomachs can’t take it. Isn’t it better that Little Black and Da Huang had diarrhea?"

"That is true. Now when Little Black walks out, people compliment by saying ’good horse’. Da Huang and Little Yellow are growing well, and even the calf will be able to till the fields come next spring, haha!"

Lizhong lovingly patted Little Black and then the three approaching yellow cows, his heart brimming with joy.

Mo Yan also felt happy seeing this; those five animals were an important part of the labor force at home. Especially the three yellow cows—the hundred plus acres of land were not little, and in the future, they would rely heavily on them for farming, which would be quite hard.

Thinking about the slope land that was still not fully cultivated, Mo Yan said to Lizhong, "Grandfather Li, I won’t be going to the store tomorrow. I will find the workers as soon as possible. The land is not fully prepared yet, I need to continue supervising it. You’ll have to take on more responsibility in the shop."

Lizhong laughed, "Yan girl, rest assured, I’ll take good care of the shop. You just focus on preparing the new land."

After having dinner and checking the accounts, the income from the third day was almost the same as the previous day. After three days of operation and deducting the cost of grain processing, they had earned a total of sixty-five taels.

Of course, in Mo Yan’s eyes, the net income was sixty-five taels, but Lizhong insisted on subtracting the ’capital’ cost of buying the rice. Even so, they had earned fifteen taels in three days.

According to him, this was already very profitable. After all, his former employer’s best-performing rice shop earned only hundreds of taels of silver in a month, and for the new Fragrant Rice Store to earn this much was quite impressive.

The next day, Mo Yan did not go to the rice shop, planning to finalize the labor recruitment. She already had a preferred candidate in mind. One of them was Mo Wu’s eldest son, her first cousin Tie Tou.

Tie Tou was somewhat simple-minded, not the kind who was quick-witted. Precisely for this reason, despite being the eldest grandson, he did not receive the affection of Old Man Mo and Mo Hong’s family.

At seventeen this year, he should have been of the age to seek a wife, but because of Lao Mo’s House’s bad reputation, lack of silver at home, and his unstable work, the prospect of finding a wife was nowhere in sight.
