Chapter 160: Chapter 160 The Benefits Are Substantial
“Who is Yanyan?” Just by listening, one knew it was a woman’s na, and Auntie Sun felt a tinge of jealousy. Seeing how excited Mo Xiaoqiang looked, this woman seed to be soone special.
“A little beauty. Big brother likes her the most, giggle giggle…!” Madam Ruan said with a laugh, covering her mouth with her hand. She disliked Auntie Sun’s coquettish and seductive behavior and deliberately wanted to annoy her.
“Oh my! Little brother, keep your wife in check. She’s stirring up nonsense.” Mo Xiaoqiang addressed Mo Daoyan, then turned his head, patted Auntie Sun on the back, and cooed soothingly, “My sweet darling, don’t think too much! She’s my daughter, my eldest daughter.”
“I’ve never heard you ntion that you have an older daughter.”
“She got married and went far away, so I never brought her up to you.” Mo Xiaoqiang explained. Actually, the main reason was that his daughter’s in-laws were too poor, and he was afraid it would be embarrassing.
In a soft voice, Auntie Sun said, “That’s perfect, isn’t the New Year coming up? Have her visit her parental ho, and take advantage of the old residence, where there are plenty of good things.”
“Yes! Big brother, let’s do just that,” Mo Daoyan said in agreent, voicing his support repeatedly.
“Fine! I’ll send soone with a ssage right away to have Yanyan co back in a few days,” Mo Xiaoqiang readily agreed.
Only then did Old Lady Mo smile brightly, as long as she could grasp control over those worthless won in the old residence, she could have a rich New Year. She had heard that Old Master Mo had sent a huge cage of chickens over to the old residence, and according to the gossipers, there were no less than four large fat chickens. As for the fabric, she heard it was silk. She had never worn silk in her life, and just the thought filled Old Lady Mo with joy, as if those items were already laid out before her.
The next day
Xuexue and Big Bull went to the market again, unbeknownst to them, countless eyes from Mo Family Village secretly watched them, curious to see what good things they would bring back this ti.
Little did they know, when they returned, they brought back only a basket of garlic.
The curious onlookers were both surprised and puzzled. What could Xuexue, that little lass, want with so many garlic bulbs? They would go bad if not eaten, what a waste!
On the way ho, Big Bull carried a large basket of garlic bulbs, and asked with confusion while walking, “Wife! What do we need so many garlic bulbs for?”
“Do these look like garlic bulbs to you?”
“Yes! They’re definitely garlic bulbs,” Big Bull confird, looking over and over again, finding no mistake–they were genuine garlic bulbs.
“Then how co all I see is silver?”
“It’s silver?” Big Bull picked up a garlic bulb, looked at it from the left, then the right, but no matter how he looked, it was still a garlic bulb, prompting him to laugh and say, “Wife! Have you lost your mind? These are clearly garlic bulbs.”
“You’re the one who’s lost your mind!” Xuexue said with a knowing smile, “Right now they’re not, but give it so ti, and I have a way to turn them into shiny silver.”
“Really?” Big Bull looked at Xuexue skeptically.
Xuexue’s smile vanished and her eyes narrowed, “Don’t you believe ?”
“No no no.” Big Bull quickly corrected himself, “I believe, I believe, my wife is smart.”
“Hmm! That’s more like it,” Xuexue said, satisfied.
The old residence
“Chuner, where’s mom?”
Xuexue asked as she put down her things and searched the house without finding Madam Xie. She then turned to Chuner, who was sitting at the door playing with Xiao Gougou.
“Mom went to work in the fields. She said Sister ntioned wanting to plow the land, so since she had so ti today, she went to loosen the soil,” Chuner explained.
The Mo family had allocated two acres of barren, rocky land to them,
Xuexue had ntioned wanting to plant sothing a few days ago, and unexpectedly, today Madam Xie had gone to plow the fields.
“Oh! So that’s it,” Xuexue replied.
“Sister, Xiao Gougou wants so candy. Can I take so to share with him?” Chuner asked.
Xuexue looked up at Xiao Gougou.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Xiao Gougou spoke up in a small voice, “Sister Xuexue, I didn’t ask Chuner for candy. She insisted on giving it to .”
