Chapter 41: CH 41

There were a few days before then, so Mo Yan decided to agree first, then try and convince Mrs. Liang afterwards.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the two sisters said goodbye and went home.

This time, the medicinal herbs were sold for 800 dollars, and Mo Ling didn’t intend to give them to Mrs. Liang. They had to pay for Mr. Cao’s fees. They’d also receive a hundred duck eggs tomorrow and they couldn’t miss the appointment. Additionally, they didn’t know if they were going to be doing business tomorrow, and how to do it.

Back in the village, Mo Ling went to Cao Zhang’s first, as she couldn’t let Mrs. Liang constantly owe others favours all the time.

After paying off Mr. Cao, there are still 400 dollars left. Tomorrow, the hundred duck eggs would cost 150 dollars, so there are only 250 dollars left. If they were doing business tomorrow, they wouldn’t be able to buy much meat with that money.

“Yan’er, why is it so difficult to live well!”

Before Mo Yan could answer, Mr. Tian walked over from the school, “Mo Ling, Yan’er, did either of you fall sick? Did you catch a cold outside yesterday?”

Mo Yan said, “No, I just came to repay Mr. Cao.”

Mr. Tian nodded and asked, “Mo Ling, I heard something happened in your business in town. You don’t have to run around and peddle your wares if you don’t want to.”

What’s wrong with peddling their wares? Was it embarrassing?

Mo Yan unabashedly smiled, “Mr. Tian, ​​you are a scholar, and mostly socialise with other erudites. You don’t understand how us peasants make a living.”

Mo Ling pulled on Mo Yan’s hand to stop her from continuing, “Yan’er, he just said that this kind of business is hard to deal with. As an example, what happened today.”

It’s true that anything a person’s lover says is right to them!

Mo Yan dragged her sister away “Sis, do you know how much money Mr. Tian makes per month?”

“I don’t know.”

“There are only a dozen or so students in the school. Even if they all paid tuition, that’s only a few hundred dollars a month. Can he support a family?”

“Our father has never supported us, and haven’t we still grown up fine?”

“Sister, do you want to grow up to be like our mother? Do you want to live like her?”

“No, the person I will marry in the future won’t be like our father.”

When they got home, Mrs. Liang saw that they had come back empty-handed. Knowing that the herbs had all been sold, she hurriedly asked, “How much did you sell them for?”

“Eight hundred,” Mo Ling replied lightly.

However, Mo Ling didn’t take any money out. Mrs. Liang’s face became uglier and uglier, and finally she couldn’t help it, “Are you becoming the head of this family from now on?”

Mo Ling didn’t look at her, but replied coldly, “Today, those people who got a stomachache went to Mr. Cao’s doctor’s office. We spent 400 dollars for the medical expenses, and bought some gifts for those people to comfort them. We also ordered one hundred duck eggs for tomorrow, which cost 150 dollars. The remaining money won’t be enough to buy meat for tomorrow’s business.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Liang’s anger couldn’t be suppressed anymore, “We’ve lost so much money, why are we still doing business? Just go and dig for medicinal herbs!”

“The duck eggs were ordered long ago, and we have to accept them!”

“What can we do with them except for eat them!”

Seeing that a war was about to spark up again, Mo Yan whispered from the side, “We can see the salted duck eggs at the market, and we won’t lose money.”

“What do you know, it’s all your fault, otherwise there wouldn’t be so much going wrong!”

Mo Ling stared at Mrs. Liang, “She doesn’t want to see me die of exhaustion!”

“Doesn’t everyone in a farming household live like this? Why can’t you?”

“You go to any household. Whose family treats their daughters as slaves, and their sons as kings? Which family doesn’t have their sons manage the household?”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liang’s aura wilted, “Isn’t Feng’er still young?”

Mo Ling smiled bitterly, “He’s been young all his life, and he’ll never grow up at this rate.”

“Tomorrow I will take him to dig for medicinal herbs.”

“Don’t worry about the business, we can deal with it. As long as we make money, most of it will be handed over to you. We know you won’t spend it wantonly.”

“Let’s eat!”

Mo Ling was unable to sleep that night. Mr. Tian’s voice and smile appeared in her mind from time to time.

Yesterday, on the carriage, there were only the two of them. Mr. Tian told her that a beautiful and capable girl like her should be loved and shouldn’t have to suffer.

This is the first time a man has said something like that to her. His care was like the spring breeze, making spring flowers bloom in Mo Ling’s dry heart.

His actions and his expressions were all so good-looking, just like the handsome young men storybooks. None of the village girls don’t yearn for him, and Mo Ling was no exception.

She imagined what the waistband she had embroidered for Mr. Tian would look like.

The grass of love grew little by little in Mo Ling’s heart, almost filling her originally rational heart.

The next day they still went to town, and Mo Yan went to Zhou’s Braised Meat to buy meat. Their stall had just opened, and Mo Ling was cutting the meat, when Manager Liang of Shunlai Restaurant came over.

Mo Ling greeted him politely as usual, “Manager Liang, what do you want?”

Shopkeeper Liang shook his head and waved his hands again, deliberately raising his voice and saying, “I don’t dare to eat here again! Fortunately, I didn’t come here yesterday. If I did, would I still be standing here? I want an explanation!” [1]

Everyone who came to buy wraps and everyone who came past them heard it. When they heard that there was a problem with this food, no one dared to eat it, and the people who originally came to buy wraps from them immediately dispersed.

Mo Ling slashed the kitchen knife on the chopping board, gritted her teeth, and said, “I got the meat from your restaurant yesterday, and the guests only had diarrhoea after eating it. I didn’t get the meat from you today, so how could there be any problems! ”

“My family has been selling braised pork for many years, and no one has ever said that there is an issue with it. Why did yours give people diarrhoea? Everyone, if it’s not their problem, whose problem is it?”

A courier just happened to come out, “I didn’t know why I had a stomachache yesterday. I thought I didn’t eat anything special! Now that I think about it, didn’t I eat their pancakes yesterday?”

This round of accusations attracted passersby, and everyone pointed out that there was something wrong with the things they were selling. Some people told them to stop selling them and go home quickly.

The stall was surrounded by people, and there was a commotion. A young man with a basket squeezed in: “Is this the stall of Chenzhong Village’s Mo family? I came from Xiahe Village to deliver duck eggs! My name is Zhong Cheng.”

Mo Ling replied, “Okay, put it down! Yan’er, come and count.”

Zhong Cheng put down the basket, looked at Mo Ling and then at Mo Yan, “Your names are Mo Ling and Mo Yan?”

The two sisters looked at him at the same time, “How do you know?”

Then the two of them looked up and looked up. Why does this young man look familiar? Mo Yan thought. The young man smiled and said, “Two nights ago, the threshing field.”

Post-edit notes: Mrs. Liang really has no concept of investments. Also, I predict that Mo Ling’s crush will go horrifically wrong.

[1] How despicable of him! I hope that bastard gets karmic retribution soon.
