Chapter 130: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 130 Meeting Again in the Mountains (1)
There were more than fifty people in total, with thirty-one women, twenty-eight semi-grown children, and the remaining five being a few young and strong men. Among the women, Mo Yan recognized Cai Shi and Xiong Shi.
In the past few days, after the last batch of vegetables in the greenhouse was sold, Lin Da and more than ten others who helped sell vegetables became idle. Some were busy with spring plowing at home, while others helped out on the construction site. Cai Shi pand a few other women had nothing to do.
These two had known about the land clearing project of the Mo family for a long time, and since they had enough labor at home and didn't need to go to the fields, their families agreed to let them come and earn some money.
"Aunt Cai, Aunt Zhou, later you two will lead these children and other women to do the work. If there are any difficulties, just tell me directly."
Mo Yan explained clearly the tasks assigned to each group of people and let Cai Shi and Zhou Shi take charge to prevent anyone from slacking off and getting paid the same as the honest and hardworking ones. Over time, those who worked diligently would become lazy, and she didn't want to waste money hiring a group of idle workers.
Cai Shi and Zhou Shi had known Mo Yan for so long that they naturally understood the hidden meaning in her words.
Cai Shi loudly said, "Young Miss Mo, you can rest assured. With such good wages and not too heavy work, we will definitely do the job beautifully. If anyone dares to slack off, they would be disrespectful to the wages given by Young Miss Mo, right, everyone?"
Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, everyone agreed verbally.
"Then I'll leave the mountain matters to everyone."
Mo Yan smiled and praised Cai Shi for her smoothness. By reminding these people in advance, if they didn't work properly later on, she wouldn't let them come again, and no one would say anything about it.
As for the remaining five laborers, they were mainly responsible for logging and digging up tree roots. There weren't many trees on the barren mountain, so five people were enough.
After arranging these matters, Mo Yan took Xiao Hua into the mountain.
At this time, the mountain had changed from the bleakness of winter to a scene of new greenery and vitality. Under the sunlight, the leaves and grass reflected a beautiful sheen, and many butterflies and bees shuttled back and forth among the flowers, accompanied by buzzing sounds, making it very lively.
Mo Yan felt relaxed as she looked around, humming a tune as she walked into the mountain. Her clear voice echoed through the woods, making the mountain even quieter.
Xiao Hua ran happily among the forests, feeling much more excited than when it was alone in the mountain. Previously, even though there were wild chickens and rabbits on the mountain for its entertainment, it found it boring after a while.
Now that Mo Yan was with it, it felt like it had taken an exhilarating drug. It ran wildly across the mountains and valleys, occasionally bringing back a rabbit or chicken and tossing it in front of Mo Yan, eagerly awaiting praise with its tongue hanging out. It looked like it was begging for praise, making Mo Yan twitch at the corner of her eye, feeling even more like this creature was a dog.
These chickens and rabbits didn't even have time to react before they were buried in the wolf's mouth. In the spirit of not wasting, um, and not wanting to see a certain fool looking heartbroken, Mo Yan had no choice but to collect these wild animals into the space.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Hua thought Mo Yan liked it, so it became even more crazy, running around and bringing back more wild animals, causing chaos in the forest and disrupting the peace.
Seeing the seven or eight chickens and a dozen rabbits piled up in the space, Mo Yan couldn't help but laugh and cry. She had to pinch Xiao Hua's ear when it brought back another rabbit, telling it not to bring any more.
Unfortunately, although this guy had become smarter, it didn't fully understand Mo Yan's meaning. It thought she disliked these wild animals, so it stubbornly bit onto Mo Yan's clothes and dragged her to a mountain stream.
Not long after, a group of roe deer came to the mountain stream. Mo Yan realized what this guy wanted to do, but before she could stop it, it rushed into the deer herd like a bolt of lightning. In the end, it joyfully dragged back a beautiful roe deer, but unfortunately, the roe deer's throat had been bitten off, and it had already died.
