Chapter 406: Ruthlessness (2)
Chapter 406: Ruthlessness (2)
That person's background, appearance, and future prospects were impeccable. Using terms from her previous life, he was the pinnacle of "tall, rich, and handsome," likely the ideal son-in-law in the eyes of many prestigious families. She, on the other hand, was just a peasant girl. There was an insurmountable gap between them, even if this affection was not entirely one-sided, this fact couldn't be changed!
Mo Yan looked at the letter in her hand, unfolding it slowly with a complex expression. There were only eight simple words: "When the heart is delighted, I will treasure it!" Her eyes fixed tightly on those eight words, a rush of warmth flushing her cheeks, making her mind foggy with indistinct thoughts that lingered persistently.
It wasn't until her fingers went numb from the cold that Mo Yan snapped back to reality. Looking at those eight words, each one felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. Feeling like they were burning her hands, she hastily closed the letter, shoved it deep into the innermost part of a drawer, and securely locked it with a small key. It seemed that only this way could she calm the deep throbbing in her chest...
This time, Mo Yan did not reply to the letter!
The next day, the snow stopped, and the sky seemed a bit brighter, though the sun still hadn't shown itself. The accumulated snow on the ground remained untouched, hardened due to the extremely low temperature, crunching underfoot.
Mo Yan harbored something in her heart, tossing and turning in bed all night. She only managed a short nap as dawn broke. When she got up with dark circles under her eyes, it startled everyone, fearing she had another nightmare that might harm her health.
"Dad, grandpa Li, I'm fine. Mao Tuan was restless last night, so I didn't get much rest. Don't worry!" Mo Yan hastily made up a reason, placing the blame on innocent Mao Tuan.
Mao Tuan lay there as if wronged, receiving reproachful glances from everyone. Its mouth whimpered sadly, feeling deeply aggrieved. Unable to defend itself, it could only open its mouth and lightly nibble on Mo Yan's fingers to show its displeasure.

Mo Qingze knew Mo Yan slept with Mao Tuan every night. Despite this oversized cat's increasingly large size, he still felt a bit uneasy. He was afraid that one careless move might inadvertently harm his daughter. So he advised Mo Yan, "It's getting big. It's not appropriate to keep sleeping with you all the time. Since we've made it a wooden house, let it sleep alone!"
Before Mo Yan could respond, Mao Tuan growled in dissatisfaction at Mo Qingze, showing its teeth and glaring.
It didn't want to be separated from its owner. It liked to sleep with its fragrant owner. Anyone who tried to separate it from its owner would get bitten!
Seeing this, Mo Qingze shook his head and chuckled, "This fellow has quite a temper. It won't listen to reason. But it seems like it understands what we're saying!"
Li Zhong stroked his beard and laughed, "I have the same feeling. Not to mention Xiao Hua and Da Bai in the backyard, even the two horses and three cattle have become unusually smart. Look at Xiao Hei and Da Hong Zao now. Anyone who sees them praises them as good horses!"
Xiao Hei and Da Hongzao were originally the lowest-grade horses, one small and weak, the other thin and old. After being kept in the Mo family for a few months, they became sleek and energetic, as if they had undergone a transformation. Although they couldn't compare to top-quality horses, they were considered good horses.
"It must be because the Feng Shui here is good, which has made them like this. When Yan'er insisted on building the house here, she didn't choose wrong," Mo Qingze said proudly, looking at Mo Yan.
"That's the only reason!" Li Zhong agreed. He remembered how those livestock had diarrhea as soon as they were bought, but the more they had diarrhea, the more energetic they became, gradually turning into what they were now. If it wasn't for good Feng Shui, what else could it be?
Embarrassed, Mo Yan gently pinched Mao Tuan's soft ears and chuckled along. The spirit spring water had indeed transformed the livestock in their home, somehow connecting with the "water" in Feng Shui. This explanation made sense, diverting attention away from her.
Mao Tuan was delighted with this, able to continue sleeping in the same bed with its owner!
After breakfast, the sky seemed clearer again. Mo Qingze and Li Zhong looked at each other and agreed that it probably wouldn't snow again. They fetched shovels and brooms from the utility room and began clearing the accumulated snow in the courtyard to prevent it from turning into puddles after melting in the sun.
Mo Yan didn't stay idle either, grabbing a shovel and joining in. After more than a year of rebirth, her body had been well-nurtured, and the nightly work in the space had also strengthened her. Her snow-shoveling speed wasn't slower than the two adults, which surprised them.
Xin'er and Li Xiu's niece were using large brooms to clear the remnants after shoveling. This activity made them feel warm despite the cold. Several children watched eagerly and also picked up tools to help.
The snow was thick on the ground, and despite their combined efforts for quite a while, they only managed to clear half of the front yard. Each person was sweating profusely and had to take off the outer coats they wore.
Seeing that it was almost noon after two hours of hard work, they had already consumed all the morning food. Li Xiu and her niece stopped to prepare lunch, and Mo Yan and the others planned to work for another short while before taking a break to eat.
At that moment, the bell in the courtyard rang. Xin'er quickly put down her broom and ran to open the door, finding an unfamiliar middle-aged woman standing outside.
Seeing that the Mo family was all in the courtyard, the woman didn't come in and anxiously shouted from the doorway, "Master Mo, Tang family's third miss asked me to find you. The Tang family sold her, and a group of bad people have come to take her away. Please come and take a look!"
Mo Qingze immediately threw down his shovel upon hearing this, bowed to the woman, and said, "Thank you, sister, for letting me know. Let me change into some clothes, and I'll come over."
The woman nodded and didn't dare to rush him, bidding farewell before hurrying away.
Mo Qingze wasted no time, hurried back to his room to wash up, preparing to go to the Tang family.
Mo Yan also put down her shovel and returned to her room to take fifty taels of silver from the space, intending to give it to Mo Qingze. If Yu shi was being sold to such a place, she was likely aiming for more silver than just ten taels.
