Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Curses
All of them are nothing but selfish villains, vying for their own interests, and it was only a matter of ti before things turned sour. Xuexue just smiled and did not speak further.
“Wow! These lons are growing in abundance, how splendid, how delightful.” Mo Xiaoqiang glanced over the field unintentionally and saw the fruits that could not be hidden; his eyes sparkled with excitent.
Mo Xiaoqiang jumped into the field, gazing at a field full of waterlons as if in a dream, turned his head, and said to Xuexue, “Xuexue, would it be alright if Dad picked so to take ho and eat?”
Xuexue turned her face away, dismissively stating, “Dad, it’s shaful that you, a farr, would waste crops like this.”
Mo Xiaoqiang looked bewildered, “How is Dad wasting crops then?”
“These are still just lon buds, they haven’t grown up, and you want to eat them? Isn’t that wasting crops?”
Only then did Mo Xiaoqiang realize, so these lons, already so big, were not considered grown yet? He was imnsely surprised. The biggest lons he had ever seen were just about this size, how much bigger do they need to be to be considered ripe?
“How much longer will it take for them to ripen?” Mo Xiaoqiang blurted out what was on his mind.
“This is a new variety, I’m not sure myself. When it’s ti for them to ripen, they will naturally mature.” Xuexue clearly didn’t want to say too much, mainly because she saw that Mo Xiaoqiang didn’t co to ask about waterlons himself—it must be Auntie Sun who sent him. Therefore, she didn’t want to reveal too much information, considering it a trade secret.
“Xuexue, co here, Dad has sothing to tell you.”
After sighing, Mo Xiaoqiang stepped back onto the field ridge, dragging Xuexue to the side as Big Bull stood aside—he did not want Big Bull to overhear.
“What is it?”
Xuexue was sowhat impatient; this lousy father of hers probably had so mischief in mind again.
“Dad has had a falling out with your grandmother recently, and I haven’t a single Copper Coin to my na. Could you give Dad so Silver to spend?” he said whisperingly, while his eyes pleaded with Xuexue.
“Where would I have Silver?”
Xuexue flatly refused, still bearing a grudge for the ti he conspired with Aunt Sun to harm her.
“Don’t play dumb with Dad now. Your family is now the wealthiest in Mo Family Village, how can you not have a few taels of Silver to spare?” Mo Xiaoqiang said incredulously, thought for a mont, and then added, “Xuexue, don’t forget, I am your birth father, no matter how much you resent , you’ll have to support your father in the future. Otherwise, people will curse you behind your back.”
Mo Xiaoqiang was subtly but clearly telling Xuexue that she’d never be able to rid herself of him as her father in this lifeti.
Xuexue’s eyes darted around, then suddenly, she changed her tone and said, “Daddy’s right, our father-daughter feud shouldn’t last till the next day.”
As she spoke, she took several taels of silver from her bosom and handed them to him, generously saying, “If Daddy needs anything in the future, just co to Xuexue. I won’t neglect you, after all, you are our three sisters’ birth father, aren’t you?”
Mo Xiaoqiang was overjoyed. He was just about to grab the silver with eagerness.
However, Xuexue withdrew her hand, and he grasped at nothing, looking up at Xuexue with a perplexed face, thinking she had changed her mind and wasn’t going to give him the silver.
Xuexue’s expression beca stern, and she said seriously, “Dad, let
be clear beforehand, you are my birth father, and it’s only right for
to give you silver to spend. However, you can’t spend this silver on others. If I find out, I won’t care for your livelihood anymore.”
Mo Xiaoqiang knew right away that Xuexue’s reference to others was aid at Aunt Sun, and he eagerly assured, “Don’t worry, Dad won’t do that.”
“If she genuinely wanted to be with you, I wouldn’t say a word. But look at her. She’s as fickle as water. Just a while ago, I saw her in the town being all lovey-dovey with another man.”
