The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 460 Reaching Cooperation and Making Trouble (3)

Walking out of the small room, Mo Yan saw Li Zhong counting a few pieces of broken silver in the drawer and handing it to a stranger. After the man left, she stepped forward and asked, "Who is that person? Does the shop owe him money?" "

Li Zhong locked the drawer and said with a smile: "It's the boy from the mill. The grain in the shop is all processed by the same mill. On the fifth day of every month, the money processed last month is settled. Today is the fifth day of the lunar month, so the owner of the mill sent the boy. Checked out."

Hearing this, Mo Yan nodded and said nothing. This expenditure will be recorded in the account book. The amount is not very big, only three or four taels of silver a month. Compared with the huge profit of the shop every month, she has not paid much attention to this amount of money.

Li Zhong felt it was a pity and couldn't help but said: "The shop processes too much grain every month, and it will cost a lot of money over time. If we have our own mill and hire two people to help, it will not only be convenient, but also You can save a lot of money over the course of a year!”

Mo Yan thought about it and realized that it was not very convenient. It is easy for her to store grain from the space to the warehouse, but before selling, it has to be transported from the warehouse to the mill for processing. After processing, it has to be transported back to the warehouse. If the shop is short of it, it must be transported to the warehouse again. The back and forth is really time-consuming and laborious. . After all, the mill is not only responsible for its own business. It is impossible to leave it there after processing and then transport it if it is missing.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Zhong continued: "The field in the mountain col will be planted with rice this year, and the grain must be supplied to the shop. It is better to build a mill in the village and store the processed grain at home. If there is any shortage in the shop, it will be transported directly. In this way, the warehouse does not need to be rented anymore. The money saved is enough to pay for the labor. In addition, there is no mill in the village, and the people in the village still need to grind some grain. Traveling all the way to the city or other villages, you can usually take jobs in the village and earn some small money."

Mo Yan was very excited after hearing this. It was not difficult to build a mill and it didn’t cost much. The key was that it was very convenient. So he agreed without much thought and planned to complete the mill before building the winery.

Seeing that it was still early, I guessed that the Mo Wu family and their daughter who were setting up a stall in Nanshi had not returned yet, so they drove over in a carriage, intending to take them back to Liuyang Village.

When we arrived at the street where the stall was set up, we saw that there were not many people on the street, so Mo Yan drove the carriage in directly.

From a distance, I could see a large group of people surrounding the place where Mo Wu and her daughter set up their stall. They couldn't see the scene inside, but a few sharp screams came from time to time, which made Mo Yan change his face. The resident urged Dahongzao to go faster.

"As a big guy here today, I'd like you to help me, an old woman, with my judgment!" In front of the onlookers, Mo Hong pointed at the silent Mo Wu with great sadness, and coughed up snot. She said with tears in her eyes: "This Mrs. Wu is the eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady. The family is so poor that it is almost hard to uncover the pot. I am very happy that she has such a profitable business. I think that the family of about ten people, old and young, can finally make a living." She drank the porridge. But she was lucky. All the money she earned every day was in her hands, and the old woman didn't even hear a sound. Even so, the old woman didn't blame her. After all, she earned the money. It's her turn to take care of it, but she shouldn't even care about her own child. She can earn so much money and feed her child. The child will scream hungry at home and call her "Mother" when she sees the sky. "Old woman" Watching and listening, it hurts in my heart, wuwu - what a sin, what a sin!"

Afraid that the onlookers would not believe it, Mo Niu supported Mo Hong and pretended to wipe her eyes and scolded: "Sister-in-law, you can ignore the rest of the family, but the child is a piece of flesh that fell off your body. How can you do that?" Be cruel, my poor nieces and nephews, it would be better for you to have such a mother than not!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law responded to each other and pretended to be so pitiful, so that most of the originally doubtful passers-by believed their words, and they all accused Mo Wu: "It's a shame that I come to your place to buy food every day, if I had known earlier. You are such an unfilial and unkind person, you won’t buy it no matter what, huh, I’m afraid I’ll never eat it again.”

“That’s it, if you don’t care about your parents-in-law or your children, could you possibly use all the money you earn to raise a wild man? You guys should recognize this woman clearly and don’t buy her things in the future. It’s so disgusting!”

 “Alas, the world is getting worse, the world is getting worse!”

　　　…”

The accusations became more and more unpleasant. Mo Wu's face turned pale. Looking at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were still acting, she cried miserably: "Mom, my second brother and sister, just for money, how can you accuse me so falsely? I have said it before , the stall belongs to Yan Yatou, she has no time to take care of it, so she asked us mother and daughter to help, and we can only earn hard money. Why don’t you believe it? I don’t have enough trouble at home and you want me to bear such a reputation. You This is forcing me to die!"

"Mom! Mom! Don't be like this. It's the grandma and the second aunt who are talking nonsense. Don't let it go to your head!" Mo Dani'er hugged Mo Wushi tightly and cried in fright. Apparently, Mo Wushi was killed last time. Mo Hongshi was forced to almost jump into the river, which cast a shadow on her.

Mo Hong obviously remembered this incident, and couldn't help but accuse Mo Wu louder and louder to cover up her guilty conscience: "Wu, don't try to lie to me with this, it was obviously that girl who kissed you and ruined this craft. I taught you that you just came to set up a stall. In the final analysis, this stall has nothing to do with that girl! I said that the money you earn will not be wanted by your family. You only need to take care of your own children. But you are so cruel that you don't even care about your children. I have no choice but to tell you what you have done and ask everyone to comment. If you still have some conscience, you can either use money to raise your children or let your younger siblings I’ll help you, we’re a family anyway, we don’t need to share it with each other, when the money is earned, you can just share some with your younger siblings.”
