Chapter 139: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 139: Fate's Play (2)
Seeing that she adamantly refused to serve clients, the madam directly had someone drug Li Xiu and send her to the bed of a guest, who happened to be Fat boss.
For some unknown reason, Fat boss developed feelings for Li Xiu and decided to buy her out for a year with all his money. He also planned to earn the one thousand taels needed to redeem her in the following year.
Among the dozens of people abducted on the Lantern Festival, if it weren't for Mo Yan's unexpected intervention, Fat boss would likely have successfully completed the transaction and redeemed Li Xiu.
By then, he had already decided that after redeeming Li Xiu, he would retire and live a peaceful life. However, due to his past misdeeds, he was destined never to have the chance to be with the person he liked...
Mo Yan sighed incessantly. If Fat boss weren't a human trafficker and Li Xiu had met him earlier, perhaps the two of them could have become a loving and happy couple. Fate can be so cruel!
"Yan girl, if it weren't for you, the three of us wouldn't have had the chance to reunite. I, I don't know how to thank you enough!" Tears welled up in Li Zhong's eyes as he thanked Mo Yan repeatedly. If he wasn't worried about undermining Mo Yan's dignity, he would have knelt down to express his gratitude. Now that his daughter had been found, once the case was closed, they could be reunited as a family, all thanks to the Mo family.
"Grandpa Li, you don't need to say such things. We're like one big family. If you have any problems, can I just stand by and watch?" Faced with Li Zhong's gratitude, Mo Yan felt a bit helpless. Both Li Zhong and her father were good fathers who loved their children. Such kind and righteous people shouldn't be bullied by villains.
Even if strangers fell into such a predicament, she would do her best to help. Who knows if the next person to fall into the fire pit will be her own relative?
Helping them didn't violate her conscience and also fulfilled the needs of her upgraded space. Morally and logically, she couldn't stand idly by.
"In any case, the great kindness of your family must be repaid by us, even if we have to work like oxen and horses." Li Zhong didn't know Mo Yan's thoughts, but it didn't prevent him from feeling genuine gratitude. Seeing Mo Yan's indifferent expression at the moment, the decision in his heart became even firmer.
The determination in Li Zhong's eyes made Mo Yan's eyelids twitch. She felt that something was amiss...
In the days that followed, Li Zhong no longer came and went early, except to visit his daughter at the yamen or help Mo Yan look after the barren mountain, as well as manage the affairs on Mo Qingze's construction site.
After carefully studying the terrain of the barren mountain, Li Zhong offered many good suggestions to Mo Yan, such as how to irrigate with water, how to preserve soil moisture, and how to manage the orchard in the later stages.
Compared to him, Mo Yan was like a novice. Following Li Zhong's advice, she knew that managing the orchard in the future would undoubtedly be much easier and more efficient.
Early one morning, the shopkeeper of the judicial office brought a horse-drawn carriage full of gifts. He happened to meet Li Zhong about to leave, so he told him to go to the yamen to pick up someone.
Li Zhong was so excited that he forgot to thank the shopkeeper and hurried out to pick up his daughter.
Seeing the carriage full of cloth and grain, Mo Yan couldn't help but twitch her eyes. "Shopkeeper, your master has done me a great favor. Shouldn't I give a gift in return?"
"The young lady is too polite. Indeed, it's the master who asked me to thank you. The person behind the brothel has had some conflicts with the master. This time, the master caught him in the act and vented his anger! The master also said that in the future, if you encounter any trouble, just speak up. He will never refuse."
The shopkeeper smiled somewhat stiffly, feeling a bit embarrassed to look at Mo Yan. In his heart, he once again rolled his eyes at his unpredictable master.
The master had said something like this: "Why is it that every time that girl encounters trouble, the evidence ultimately points to those few guys? Hmm, it seems that I need to keep a closer eye on that girl and deal with those guys following her. It's much easier than catching them ourselves!"
Listen to this! Isn't this cursing Miss Mo's bad luck?
Unaware of Yan Junyu's intentions to take advantage, Mo Yan felt that despite not spending much time together, he seemed trustworthy and honorable, not as dissolute as rumors claimed. His actions were just a bit more unrestrained compared to some others who strictly followed rules and regulations.
When the shopkeeper returned, he took away several buckets of spiritual spring water and the gifts Mo Yan gave. The gifts consisted of the usual space chickens, space vegetables, and this time, about ten kilograms of venison. After all, as the owner, she shouldn't miss out on eating the spotted deer that Xiao Hua caught!
Thinking of Xiao Hua, Mo Yan felt that her attachment to it wasn't particularly deep at the moment. She should return it as soon as possible, or else if they grew closer and then separated, she would feel upset...
Xiao Hua had been thrown into the construction site by Mo Yan a couple of days ago, but Mo Yan didn't plan to return it at the moment. She was preparing to enter the mountains to find the wolf that had overturned it and settle the score!
