No matter what they were really thinking, as long as they stood by the Mo Family in critical monts, Mo Yan felt that the everyday effort was worth it.
The disheveled Mrs. Wang was finally driven out of the Mo Family by the furious villagers, who cheered and congratulated each other. After today’s event, she would at most dare to tarnish the Mo Family’s reputation within the village, but certainly wouldn’t dare to co and cause trouble.
The Mo Family’s horse beca ’sick,’ and the villagers were very sympathetic. However, upon seeing the two robust Da Huang bulls and the healthy calves, they beca incredibly envious and couldn’t help but touch and caress them again and again, practically wishing they could lead them ho.
When they heard that during the busy farming season, it was possible to rent the two Da Huang bulls for just a small amount of silver, their gratitude towards the Mo Family grew even stronger. Who would want to work themselves to death plowing the fields like an ox if they could use one?
Everyone left the Mo Family content, but Mo Qingze and Lizhong were worried about the horse that couldn’t stand up due to diarrhea, lanting not only about the eight tael silver but also fearing that if the horse really died, it could indicate a problem with the house’s feng shui.
"Dad, Grandfather Li, stop worrying. I guarantee the horse will be jumping around lively by tomorrow morning," Mo Yan said as she ca over with the greens. Seeing them still shaking their heads and sighing, she couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.
They took her words as comfort, but to their surprise, the horse struggled to stand up when it saw the greens in Mo Yan’s hand, its mouth opening and closing as if it wanted to eat.
Under their hopeful gazes, Mo Yan tossed the greens into the manger. The horse walked over to the manger and started to eat with gusto.
The horse had just emptied its stomach from the diarrhea and hadn’t had the strength to stand up, but now that it had sothing to eat, it stood up to chow down enthusiastically!
Mo Qingze and Lizhong watched, wiping the sweat off their foreheads with relief. If it could eat, then that was good, if it could eat, then that was good.
At that mont, Lixiu ca back with a basket full of fresh grass on the backs of so children. Zhenzhen, unable to wait, eagerly took the greens to feed the horse and the cows, laughing joyfully as they ate heartily.
Xin Er and Liyan found it amusing too and also fed the greens to the animals. For a while, the entire pen was filled with the children’s laughter.
With the addition of the horse and the cows, the little ones had sothing to do. They either ran around collecting grass or brought their newfound friends ho, their voices filled with bragging and pride.
Mo Yan watched them with a smile and did not stop them. Every morning, she made sure to mix so Spirit Spring Water for them to drink, which directly resulted in their daily bouts of diarrhea.
Fortunately, the four creatures ate quite normally, otherwise, Mo Qingze and the others would have worried themselves sick.
As the day for warming the house approached, the Mo Family hurried into town with the horse-drawn cart to purchase supplies, gradually acquiring all the necessities for the day, including bowls, dishes, chopsticks, guest-serving wine, as well as condints like oil, salt, soy sauce, and even firecrackers.
Soon, the eleventh day of the eighth lunar month arrived. Little Flower, who had been in the mountains for several days, returned at noon with a plump roe deer in its mouth.
After dropping the roe deer and seeking recognition from Mo Yan, satisfied with a small basin of Spirit Spring Water, Little Flower dashed back into the mountains and returned with a wild goat. And thus, it ran back and forth more than a dozen tis, finally dragging back a wild boar that weighed at least two hundred pounds.
The wild boar had been found under the fence, and Mo Yan knew that Little Flower couldn’t possibly lift such a big wild boar on its own – it must have been Dabai who helped bring it over. Touched, she quickly called Mo Qingze and Lizhong to lift it inside, then went to the village to invite Lin Yong to deal with the wild ga.
Seeing a dozen wild goats, pheasants, deer, and several other types of large ga lying in the yard, Lin Yong looked at Little Flower, shocked, for a long ti before finally confirming, "This is a wolf."
Mo Yan petted Little Flower’s head and smiled, affirming the statent.
