Chapter 368: The Proposal to Little Cabbage, the Female Lead (4)_1
...
Mo Qingze only returned home once a month, the second day, Mo Yan took him to see the low-lying fields, the terraced fields, and the ponds, and spoke of her plans for the coming year; she also wanted to hear if her father had any better suggestions.
Mo Qingze listened with a smile as his eldest daughter spoke methodically and logically, feeling good about everything, his heart swelled once again with boundless pride!
His daughter was so capable, and all he felt as a father was pride! What he could do was to study hard, striving to pass next year’s autumn imperial examinations and the spring examinations the year after that to obtain the Jin Shi degree. With a certain status, he could give his family more protection.
After they finished discussing the fields, Mo Yan didn’t neglect to talk about the business matters either, only omitting the deal she had with Yan Junyu, and claimed it was the Punishing Shopkeeper who had helped. As the head of the family, her father had the right to know everything happening at home. She hadn’t mentioned earlier conflicts to avoid affecting his academic pursuits, but now that the matter had passed, telling him didn’t seem to matter.
Having heard everything, Mo Qingze knew the dangers involved and, struggling to suppress his fear, scolded Mo Yan sternly. Although he was only a Scholar and couldn’t help much in this matter, the idea that his daughter had been so bold as to hide such a significant incident from him, and that he might have been the last to know if something happened to the children, was just too distressing.
Mo Yan shrank her neck, enduring her father’s unconventional display of paternal love, until he calmed down a bit, then offered a sheepish smile and coaxed, "Dad, I didn’t tell you because I knew what I was doing, and look, isn’t everything resolved now?"
Mo Qingze glanced at her and hummed without speaking, putting on an "I am still angry and don’t want to hear your explanations" expression.
