Farm Girl's Manor

Mo Yan hadn’t expected that a small reprimand of the Wang Family would cause such unease in the village, as if a beast had come down from the mountains in the bitter cold, necessitating patrols. She couldn’t help but feel guilty, so she took the initiative to bring the thirteen local dogs home, guarding the entrance to the mountains every night as they had before.

The villagers still had faith in Little Flower’s abilities, and her previous performance in guarding the mountain was commendable. However, they felt embarrassed to expect the Mo Family to provide food for the dogs, so most households brought over some coarse rice or sweet potatoes, contributing what they could.

Mo Yan, however, felt it wouldn’t be right to accept this, and instead suggested that she let Little Flower lead the dogs into the mountains to hunt during the day, so there would be no need to spend food on them. Seeing her insistence on refusing, the villagers respected her even more for her generous and capable handling of matters and had to take their food home with them.

Perhaps truly frightened, combined with the clamor within the village, the Wang Family didn’t make any further trouble for the Mo Family. Mo Yan felt relieved and, together with Mo Qingze, loaded the New Year’s gifts for Yan Junyu, the Liu Family, Punishing Shopkeeper, and Owner Mu onto the carriage and drove Da HongZao into the city.

The New Year’s gifts for Han Zhiyun and Mr. Academy had already been delivered by Mo Qingze the day before. That very afternoon, the Han Family sent a manager and a servant with a carriage full of return gifts. The gifts included fabrics of various colors, fashionable jewelry, fruit preserves, pastries, and, impressively, two or three dozen books rarely available on the market, clearly prepared with much thought and care.

Father and daughter first drove their carriage to the Liu Family’s house, coincidentally just as the Liu Family had finished preparing their New Year’s gift for the Mo Family and were ready to send it over. The Liu couple didn’t look down upon the wild game sausages, fresh vegetables, and pots of wine unloaded from the Mo Family’s carriage.

Though these items weren’t expensive or worth much money, what mattered was the thought behind them. The Liu Family, having a tradition of valuing books above all, would have found it insulting if they were presented with common riches like gold and silver.
