After seeing off Punishing Shopkeeper and the reluctant Yun Family’s siblings, the Liu Family of Three also prepared to leave, but Liu Tinglan refused to go, insisting on staying at the Mo Family for a while.
"You’re a grown girl, how inappropriate it is to spend the night at soone else’s ho! Be good, co back ho with Dad and Mom."
Mrs. Liu would not agree, she insisted on taking her daughter ho no matter what.
"I don’t want to go, there’s only at ho, it’s not fun at all. Mom, please let stay at Yanyan’s ho for a few days!"
Liu Tinglan struggled to get free from Mrs. Liu’s grasp, looking at Mo Yan for help.
Mo Yan gently shook her head and signaled to her with a glance. This kind of matter, she neither could nor should retain the guest, and should let their family negotiate it!
Liu Tinglan understood imdiately and quickly turned to her father for help, "Dad, you love the most, please let stay here for a while!"
Mr. Liu, who was talking to Mo Qingze, heard his daughter’s plea and said to Mrs. Liu, "Since she doesn’t want to leave, let her stay for two days, and we’ll have Old Fan co over to pick her up the day after tomorrow."
Once her husband had spoken, Mrs. Liu naturally could not object; She glared at her daughter, who was clearly delighted, but ultimately said nothing.
Although she was sowhat disappointed only to be able to stay for two days, Liu Tinglan knew her father’s temperant well, that his words left no room for bargaining. She was content to be able to stay for two days.
Before leaving, Mr. Liu seriously said to Mo Qingze, "Ziyu, consider what we discussed earlier. If you decide, you can co find anyti."
Mo Qingze bowed gratefully, "Many thanks, Brother Jianan; Ziyu will surely consider it seriously."
Mr. Liu nodded, bowed back to Mo Qingze, and then, accompanied by his wife, got into the carriage. Under the gaze of the Mo Family, they gradually departed.
Once the carriage was out of sight, Mo Yan asked curiously, "Dad, what did Mr. Liu want you to consider?"
Mo Qingze withdrew his gaze, his face showing excitent, "Brother Jianan encouraged Dad to study at the Academy and to take part in next year’s imperial examinations."
"Really? That’s great!" Mo Yan said happily, "I’ve been concerned about this too, but there was just so much going on at ho, I hadn’t had the chance to talk to you about it. Now that Mr. Liu is also urging you to continue your studies, he must think very highly of you. Dad, if you want to continue studying, don’t miss this opportunity!"
Seeing his daughter was also strongly supportive, Mo Qingze, who was already sowhat moved, felt even more tempted. However, as the head of the family, if he went to study at the Academy, there would be no one to take care of the ho.
After hearing her father’s concerns, Mo Yan said helplessly, "Aren’t Grandfather Li and the others still here at ho? Xin Er and Zhen Er, I will also take care of them well, so please be at ease!"
Lizhong added, urging, "This old body of mine still works. The work in the fields and the fruit orchard isn’t difficult, I’ll manage it well, so you don’t need to worry."
Xin Er and Zhen Er also quickly said, "Dad, you can rest assured, we’ll behave ourselves, and wait for Dad to pass the imperial examination and beco a Scholar."
With the full support of his family, Mo Qingze was moved, and he let go of his reservations, agreeing to visit the city and find Mr. Liu in a couple of days.
Without her parents’ restrictions, Liu Tinglan was like a runaway horse, dragging Mo Yan all over the hills and fields tirelessly, her own energy boundless, but she exhausted Mo Yan to near death.
"Yanyan, your family’s fruit orchard is really big, it must be so beautiful when it’s in bloom, I must co to see it."
Liu Tinglan stood at the highest point of the fruit orchard, with the entire orchard in full view. She had never seen such a large fruit orchard, with so many rare fruit trees.
Mo Yan wiped off so sweat and smiled looking at the fruit seedlings that were now covered with leaves, "These fruit trees will bloom next spring, I’ll let you know then."
