Chapter 79 First Encounter with a Wretched Person_1
The next morning, Mo Yan arrived at the Eastern Market as usual, only to unexpectedly discover that Lin Meng and his four companions, who usually arrived earlier than her, were nowhere to be seen. She waited at the stall for nearly half an hour before she finally saw several familiar ox carts slowly approaching, carrying people and vegetables.
After a careful look, she only saw Lin Meng, Mrs. Xiong, and Mrs. Zhou sitting on the ox carts, while Mo Yongshou and Mo Yonglu were nowhere in sight.
Once everyone had disembarked and they had placed more than a dozen baskets of vegetables in order, Mo Yan finally asked, "Why haven’t those two come?"
Upon hearing this, the three people looked at each other. In the end, it was Lin Meng who stepped forward and said, "When we came over in the morning, we didn’t see the two of them, so we thought they had overslept and waited for a while. But after waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour and they still hadn’t arrived, I went to call them at their home, only to find... only to find that Mo Yongshou said that he and his brother would not be coming anymore!"
In fact, what Mo Yongshou said was much harsher than this, but Lin Meng didn’t want to spoil everyone’s mood by repeating his words.
Mo Yan’s brows furrowed. If these two men simply did not want to work anymore, they wouldn’t have left without collecting yesterday’s wages. Recalling their abnormal behavior these past two days, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Given the events of the past few days, Mo Yan thought carefully but couldn’t figure out why these two would quit without taking their wages. In the past, she would have wished for these two to leave, but now with the situation obviously awry, she couldn’t help but suspect they might have been plotting something behind her back.
Seeing that the street was gradually getting crowded and people were starting to head her way, Mo Yan waved her hand irritably, "Forget about them for now, let’s focus on doing business!"
