Chapter 269: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 269: Buying Land and Reclaiming Wasteland - Fooling Xiaohua (Part 6)
Mo Yan collected the medicinal herb seeds and also gathered the eggs from the coop. Looking at the densely packed chickens inside the coop, even if she didn't have a fear of crowds, it was enough to make her dizzy.
In fact, as long as there were no roosters, these eggs wouldn’t hatch into chicks. However, due to the time difference between inside and outside the space, before she could deal with one batch of roosters, another batch had hatched.
She could only catch and slaughter roosters with her two hands; it was impossible to catch them all at once. Every time, she could only catch one rooster at a time and slaughter it, then take it out to eat.
Now there was also a group of chickens in the backyard, all roosters she had caught from inside the space. She told her family that she had bought them on the street, planning to eat them slowly.
For this, Li Zhong nagged her for several days, saying she should buy more nutritious and better-tasting hens.
Mo Yan had already figured it out. When the price of chicken meat rose, she would spend a few days catching all the roosters and then, as before, secretly rent a place and put these roosters in it to sell in bulk to Huixian Residence.
As for the hens, when the weather warmed up next spring, she would hire someone to build a chicken coop in the orchard and release some of the hens from inside the space to let them hatch eggs and set up the chicken farm.
With the chores inside the space finished, Mo Yan took the two big fellows and Little Furball out of the space. It was getting late now; if she went back quickly, she could still catch lunch.
What she didn't expect was that Da Bai actually wanted to come back with them. Da Bai had never been to Mo Yan's house before, but after hearing Xiao Hua's description, it was very curious to see it.
Naturally, Mo Yan wouldn’t refuse. After all, her home was at the foot of the mountain, as long as she was careful and didn't let anyone see, there shouldn’t be a problem. Her family was already accustomed to Red Python; Da Bai's appearance was much cuter than Red Python's.
Even so, when her family saw Mo Yan bringing back an even bigger wolf, besides Zhen’er's excitement, the others were somewhat afraid. Especially the Yun siblings who had just come to their house; when they learned that Xiao Hua was a wolf, they were frightened for a long time, afraid it would bite them if it didn't like them.
Now seeing Da Bai, who was even more terrifying with its wolf-like appearance, they dared not approach.
"Elder sister, is Da Bai going to live in our house from now on?" Zhen’er excitedly hugged Da Bai's neck, regardless of whether he liked it or not, refusing to let go.
This wolf was much more imposing than Xiao Hua; his elder sister was really powerful.
"No, it's just here to visit today, to get to know the place. It will go back to the mountain later. Don’t tell anyone in the village that we have a wolf at home; otherwise, there will be trouble in the future."
Mo Yan solemnly warned the little ones. It wasn’t groundless worry on her part; there were more than a few families in the village who didn't like them. If they lost a chicken or a duck, they might blame Xiao Hua and Da Bai. If these people harbored ill intentions towards the two fellows and wanted to do something to them, if Xiao Hua and Da Bai retaliated by biting or scratching, things could escalate further. Even Xiao Hua might not be able to stay peacefully at home in the future, let alone Da Bai.
It was for the sake of minimizing trouble for her family that she didn’t want news of wolves in their home to spread outside.
The little ones didn’t know why they couldn’t say it, but they always listened to Mo Yan. They readily agreed. Zhen’er was still a little disappointed; he had wanted to show off Da Bai to his little friends in the village!
This was Da Bai's first visit to Mo Yan's house, and it wandered around curiously. When it arrived at Mo Yan's yard and saw Xiao Hua living in a warm and clean wooden house, it decisively lay down inside, blocking Xiao Hua outside.
