Chapter 66 The golden thick thigh_1
After bidding farewell to Elder Meng, Mo Yan walked home with a heavy heart.
Elder Meng’s words might not be entirely accurate, yet they served as a wake-up call for Mo Yan. Families with wealth and power might take interest in her modest assets, but there was no guarantee that those who followed the powerful elite wouldn’t seize the opportunity to plot and snatch benefits. If such people indeed came after them, the Mo Family would be utterly powerless to resist.
Moreover, the greenhouse vegetables were only a minor part of her plan to become wealthy. What she valued most were her orchards, herb gardens, and even the high-yield rice in the Space. These, especially the high-yield rice, could greatly interest the elite in this ancient era, where an average yield was only three hundred catties per mu. If utilized properly, it could certainly become a renowned achievement in history.
With the miraculous Ancient Jade Space, building the Jinxiu Manor of her dreams wasn’t difficult, but she had no desire to pave the way for others. However, in this society where imperial power was supreme and social hierarchy rigid, her family had no foundational support. Once they began to develop, defending against the envious powers that be—those red-eyed "nobility"—would be almost impossible.
Just like the earlier Bu Shi Ren, even though he was merely a humble shopkeeper, he dared to frame others and use extrajudicial punishment on a Scholar, all because of the backing of Duke Wu’an’s Mansion. With such a non-descript figure difficult to contend with, Mo Yan felt even more out of her depth.
What to do? Could she really only plant a variety of vegetables in the Space?
Mo Yan scratched her head, feeling utterly useless. In her previous life, when she read those transmigration novels, the heroines could meet an incredibly influential figure by just strolling through the market, who would help them solve all sorts of troubles. Yet, here she had been in this world for so long and hadn’t even bumped into a minor official, not to mention an important one—
Oh, she did actually encounter one!
