Chapter 320: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 320: Someone Has Designs, Well-Intentioned Reminders (1)
On this day, Mo Yan rose early, had breakfast, and then had Li Zhong harness the carriage. The three of them went to the city together.
The carriage was warm and comfortable, which made Tie Tou and Wang Pang, who were riding in a carriage for the first time, excited and cautious. They didn't dare to touch the delicate patterns on the carriage walls, just staring carefully again and again.
Feeling bored just sitting there, Mo Yan started chatting with them, asking if they were adapting well, if they had encountered any difficulties, and if they had any thoughts about the grain shop, etc.
"Little Master, Shopkeeper Li takes good care of us. He patiently teaches us whenever we don't understand. He never scolds us. Everyone else is nice too. Many customers praise our grain shop!" Wang Pang said cheerfully, his tone full of gratitude and pride.
When he started working at Mo Family's Grain Shop, he had already prepared himself to be scolded. Before fleeing, there were people in the village who worked as assistants in the shops. The work was very heavy, and if mistakes were made, they would be beaten and scolded. He was worried too. But after working for more than half a month, there was nothing like that at all, and the pay was good too!
When his friends in the village heard about it, they were very envious. In recent days, some people even took the initiative to go to his house to propose marriage to him. This was something he never dared to dream of before. Hehe!
Seeing that he was really satisfied, Mo Yan nodded with a smile and asked the silent Tie Tou.
"Good!" Tie Tou hesitated for a moment before blurting out a word with a silly smile on his face.
Having rice to eat and being well-fed, not being tired from work, not getting scolded even if he worked slowly, and getting a smile from his grandparents when he returned home, how could it not be good!
Seeing his silly and innocent appearance, Mo Yan couldn't help but worry for Wu Shi. Such a character wasn't necessarily bad; he was honest and simple. If he met a kind and contented girl, they could live happily together for a lifetime.
But obviously, such a personality couldn't carry a family. The girl he found in the future had to be capable of managing the household. Otherwise, life would be difficult. Such a girl wouldn't be easy to find!
"That's good! If you encounter any difficulties or problems, you can talk to Shopkeeper Li. As long as you work diligently, Mo Family won't treat you unfairly." As the owner of the grain shop, it was necessary to motivate the employees when necessary!
"We understand, Little Master!" Wang Pang readily agreed, then hesitated for a moment and glanced at Mo Yan, saying somewhat hesitantly, "Recently, there's a strange customer. He used to come every day to buy grain, saying our grain tastes good and even asked where we purchased it. I said I didn't know, and he seemed to not believe me. He asked Tie Tou, and Tie Tou said he didn't know, and then he seemed to believe it. He hasn't come much these days, so I didn't tell Shopkeeper Li!"
Listening to this, Mo Yan became secretly alert. Seeing Wang Pang looking uneasy, she comforted him, "Brother Pang, you did well! If someone asks again next time, just tell the truth. There's nothing to hide."
Tell the truth? Wang Pang was stunned for a moment, then understood Mo Yan's meaning. He didn't know where the grain was purchased from at all, so naturally he could only tell the truth.
Tie Tou didn't know either. Seeing Wang Pang nodding, he nodded too.
Mo Yan asked a few more questions but didn't find any more clues. Although someone had asked about the source of the grain at the grain shop before, it was the first time someone had persistently pursued it for so many days. It seemed that they had been targeted as soon as they opened.
It was just unknown whether this person had recognized the value of their fragrant rice and wanted to find out its source to get a share. Fortunately, she had moved a lot of grain into the warehouse for the first time, and she hadn't visited it again since opening. Even if someone was watching the warehouse now, they wouldn't find anything. However, she would need to be more careful in the future if she visited again.
