Chapter 128: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 128 Clearing the Land and Planting Trees (1)
"You know?" Mo Erni screamed in disbelief, then casually said, "So what if people find out? I didn't start the fire. If anyone should be blamed, it's that stupid girl, Little aunt. What does it have to do with me?"
"She's your aunt, how can you say that? If it weren't for you instigating her, she wouldn't have done such a thing."
Mo Yonglu looked at his daughter with pain in his eyes. In the past, he might not have been a good person, but he would never have harmed his siblings or relatives. But now, his own daughter spoke such heartless words. Was this his retribution?
"aunt? What kind of aunt is she?" Mo Erni's face was full of sarcasm. "She's always taking advantage of my grandparents' favoritism, bullying her younger relatives. Every time I get a nice headband, it's always taken by her! She's jealous of Mo Yan, that bitch, because she's prettier and dresses better. Even if I didn't provoke her, she would still cause trouble. Do you think your good sister is anything good?"
To be betrayed by his own brother and to still believe in sibling affection, how naive and foolish! Mo Yonglu was speechless, his hand trembling as if he wanted to discipline her, but faced with Mo Erni's icy gaze, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He knew that his only sister had been spoiled by their parents, but she was only a few months older than Mo Erni and was treated like a daughter by him. In the past, he thought their relationship was very close, but he never expected his daughter to harbor such deep resentment.
Mo Erni looked at her stunned father with indifference. "If you want to expose this matter, I won't blame you. After all, what good is a useless father like you to me?"
After saying this, without waiting for Mo Yonglu's reaction, she picked up the firewood from the ground and walked away without looking back.
Mo Yonglu stood dumbfounded in place, his eyes filled with confusion. He had already regretted his past mistakes and just wanted to honestly farm the land, serve his parents, and raise his children. But he realized too late, and everything was too late.
...
The construction site was bustling with activity. Several makeshift stoves were emitting white smoke, and waves of strong aroma wafted in the air from the cooking rice, indicating that the glutinous rice was almost steamed. Several villagers were using shovels to scoop the well-prepared rice paste into buckets and carry them to Master Lu and the others for wall construction.
With many hands, the work progressed quickly after the main house was built. Including Master Lu, a total of thirty-one people were experienced workers who built walls quickly and efficiently. A model of a four-person room had already taken shape, and if the weather was good, it would probably be completed in another half month.
Mo Yan made a round of the construction site before heading to a row of simple grass sheds nearby. These sheds were for Master Lu and the others to rest and sleep at night. Mo Qingze also lived here and was currently using an abacus to calculate something.
"Dad, do you need any help?" Mo Yan picked up the account book and flipped through a few pages, asking.
Mo Qingze shook his head. "Just some accounts from the construction site. Dad can handle it."
Mo Yan nodded and looked around but didn't see Xiao Hua, so she asked.
"She's probably in the mountains. She can't stay on the construction site during the day; she wanders in the mountains during the day and only comes back at night. She even caught a small wild boar yesterday!" Mo Qingze praised, "She's a good wolf."
Mo Yan was greatly surprised to hear this. That silly thing looked like a foodie, yet it could catch a wild boar?
Mo Qingze could see what she was thinking. "After all, it's a wolf. Even if it's raised by people, it still has its wild nature. Fortunately, it doesn't cause trouble and has been on the construction site for so long without anyone realizing it's a wolf."
