Farm Girl's Manor

The mountain was rife with snakes, insects, rodents, and ants. Once the brambles grew thick, they couldn’t guard against thick-skinned Red Pythons, but they could still fend off smaller snakes and Yellow Weasels.

Lizhong understood her intentions and readily agreed.

At night, as usual, Mo Yan watched over Xin Er. At one point, Xin Er woke up thirsty and called for water. Mo Yan fed her some Spirit Spring Water, and then she fell back into a deep sleep until she woke up completely the next morning, clamoring that she was hungry and wanted to eat.

Seeing that she was no longer in serious trouble, the family finally felt relieved, but they wouldn’t let her get out of bed.

There was still a lot to do in the house, especially since they had to entertain guests on the twelfth of August, which required early procurement and seating arrangements. After discussing it at length with Mo Qingze, Mo Yan finally settled the guest list for the banquet.

Next came inviting the guests. The villagers were naturally invited by Mo Qingze, the head of the household. He first took a handcart to the village chief’s house, returned the cart, then mentioned the matter about the warming of the house. The village chief readily accepted and assured he would attend.

Leaving the village chief’s house, Mo Qingze headed to Lao Mo’s House. Standing in front of Lao Mo’s House, Mo Qingze sighed but still proceeded to go over.

The first to see him was Mo Erni, who sat crouched at the door, scrubbing a large basin full of clothes.

Since Mo Yongxi had reported her, Mo Erni’s days in Lao Mo’s House had fallen drastically. She had endless household chores every day and even had to work in the fields, worse off than the two daughters in the main family.

Mo Erni glanced at Mo Qingze and then indifferently lowered her head to continue washing clothes, the cold glint in her downcast eyes shimmering ominously.

Mo Qingze called out to Mo Erni. Seeing that she completely ignored him, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
