Chapter 353: Sudden Heavy Snow Causes House Collapse, Seeking Shelter (4)_1
Mo Yan smiled politely for a few sentences, and among these forty-two people, she recognized two familiar faces. Weren’t they the couple, Mr. and Mrs. Wang Dali, who had come to cause trouble before and were now standing at the very back, shying away from looking at her?
Mo Yan certainly didn’t have a good impression of these two, and she had made it clear before that she did not welcome them to enter her home. However, since they also had families to support, with both elderly and young ones, it wouldn’t be right to send them away and risk them freezing to death. So, pretending she didn’t see, she allocated houses to each family and left them to arrange everything else themselves.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang Dali, who were burying their heads, saw that Mo Yan didn’t drive them away, exchanged relieved glances but still didn’t dare to look up.
The others were full of gratitude; they left the elderly and children behind while the young and able-bodied went back to salvage their belongings. Apart from essential items like beds and bedding, they also needed to bring over cooking utensils, planning to go to the mountains to cut wood and repair their houses when the weather cleared up before moving back.
Yang Bao called some people from the village to help them move, and when they learned the Mo Family had lent their houses to those whose homes had collapsed, they grew to respect the Mo Family even more for their genuine kindness.
After several trips back and forth, almost all belongings had been moved over, and the ten or so rooms were just enough. With the front and back yards separated by a distance, the new guests didn’t much disturb the Mo Family’s life. Seeing that there was nothing left for her to do, Mo Yan returned to the back and, holding the ears of the three animals, instructed them not to go to the front.
The heavy snow stopped for a day but began to fall again in the evening. Not only were the people in the front yard worried, but Mo Yan was also very anxious, silently praying that there wouldn’t be a snow disaster, as it could bring calamity to many people.
After finishing dinner, Maomao, who hadn’t been seen for almost two days, shivered as it flew back, covered in a thin layer of snow, with a letter from Xiao Ruiyuan to Mo Yan tied to its leg.
