In the afternoon, Mo Yan found Xiao Zhu and asked him to help find several people to take turns guarding the warehouse. Now that the Xue Family knew the location of the warehouse, to prevent them from any underhanded moves, she had to be cautious. As for the store, Lizhong would take care of it with Tie Tou and Wang Pangtou on rotation.
For such a trivial matter, Xiao Zhu naturally agreed without hesitation, and he also inford Mo Yan about the recent misfortune of the Zhang Family.
Even though Mo Yan did not later request him to find people to guard the Zhang Family’s ho, the friends he had previously sought out would still occasionally check on the place, and that was how they learned of the incident and rushed to tell him.
After hearing this, Mo Yan simply said, "They had it coming," with no sympathy for the Zhang Family’s plight. She disliked Yao Taohua, the "mistress" who ddled in soone else’s family, but she despised Zhang Ming even more for not being able to control his own desires.
Heavenly sins can be forgiven, but one brings destruction upon oneself. The disaster that befell the Zhang Family was of their own making. Had they not been insatiably greedy, always coveting more while still having food in their bowls, angering the "bowl," such an incident would not have occurred! And wasn’t the previous Zhang Fugui the sa? If he hadn’t planned to make a big profit from the store by hoarding silver, would he have landed himself in jail?
When Mo Yan returned from Huixian Residence, she told Lizhong about all this. Lizhong rely smiled faintly; the outco for the Zhang Family had nothing to do with him.
Lizhong had to guard the store at night with Wang Pangtou, so Mo Yan sat at the front of the flatbed pretending to drive, letting Little Black pull her and Tie Tou back to Liu Yang Village.
After settling Little Black and the cart in the yard, the sky had completely darkened. Carrying a windproof lamp, she visited the Wang Family to say that with the arrival of the New Year, there were many pickpockets and petty thieves on the streets, so Wang Pangtou had to help guard the store for a while and could only return the next day.
The Wang Family said it was no problem at all; they had no objections even if he continuously helped watch the store. They knew well that many in the village envied their son receiving favor from the Mo Family, and if Wang Pangtou worked diligently and did more, it would not be easy for anyone to replace him in the future, right?
Returning from the bustling Wang Family ho, the dinner was already laid out on the table, and the family was waiting for her to start the al.
As Mo Yan sat down, Xiao Hua Dabai and Mao Tuan swiftly brought their bowls to her feet, waiting to be fed. Although the others at ho liked to feed them, the animals were picky and would not touch the food, as if the morsels Mo Yan offered were sohow tastier.
The family, along with the three furry ones, joyfully enjoyed their dinner when suddenly, a Harrier squeezed in through the slightly ajar door, flapped its wings, and landed on Mo Yan’s... head, stretching out one leg in an arrogantly coy manner.
All eyes instantly focused on the Harrier’s leg, where a gleaming ssage cylinder caught everyone’s attention!
Seeing that Mo Yan remained motionless as if she hadn’t reacted, Xin Er, who was closest, quickly nudged her, "Sis, who are you communicating with? Maomao is letting you check the ssage!"
"Yeah, big sister, hurry up and take a look, see if it’s written to you," Zhenzhen also said eagerly, and if it weren’t for the Harrier being so fierce and not allowing strangers to touch it, she would have grabbed it already.
As for the Harrier, Maomao, no one in the family knew that it was a gift from Xiao Ruiyuan to Mo Yan; they just thought it was another creature she had brought back from the mountains.
As if annoyed by Mo Yan’s slow reaction, Maomao let out an irritated cry, gently pecked at her forehead, and its other foot incessantly paced on her head, as if urging her to hurry.
The corner of Mo Yan’s eye twitched, and she grabbed the Harrier that was "strutting its stuff" on her head, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, she got up from the table, walked to the door, opened it, and threw it out. With a bang, she closed the door firmly again.
Seeing the whole table looking at her with strange expressions, Mo Yan’s face remained expressionless as she picked up her rice bowl: "Let’s eat!"
