Farm Girl's Manor

nøvel.coɱ "Are you the head of the Mo Family?" The skinny fellow lazily got to his feet, squinting his small eyes and said nonchalantly, "I understand the principle, sir, but the Tang Family is so poor they can’t even jingle, they don’t have any silver to pay back! It’s the New Year, and I don’t want to sully my hands with bad luck, so since you’re known as the great philanthropist in this village, why don’t you repay the ten taels of silver for the Tang Family and consider it accumulating good fortune, eh?"

Seeing the civility in his speech, Mo Qingze’s expression softened somewhat, "Although my household does have some surplus, it was accumulated through the hard work of my entire family. Should someone come to me who is truly destitute, without enough clothes to keep warm or food to satisfy hunger, I would naturally offer help! The Tang Family, while not wealthy, is far from starving or freezing. Moreover, just two days ago they sold their younger daughter to my family for ten taels of silver, which is more than enough to repay your debt."

After hearing this, the skinny man was not surprised, and he looked disdainfully at Tang Yushi, saying, "This foolish thing has offended the insatiable Yu Popo. They hadn’t even warmed the ten taels before it was forcibly extorted from them, otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to come knocking on this door."

To Mo Qingze’s surprise, he was unaware of this turn of events after their departure, and he found himself somewhat in agreement with the skinny fellow’s words. Tang Yushi indeed was foolish; had she stood up to Mother Yu when she was extorting the silver, Mother Yu wouldn’t have dared to proceed with the theft, since it all happened in the village. Even if the villagers disliked the Tang Family, they wouldn’t have just watched it happen.

Tang Yushi, labeled foolish, did not dare to retort to her creditor’s words. Seeing Mo Qingze seemingly reluctant to produce the silver, she became frantic, "Mr. Mo, those good deeds your family did before, weren’t they all for a good reputation? If you pay the ten taels today, won’t you add to that reputation? You don’t even need to thank me; just don’t make my family repay the ten taels, that’s all!"

After finishing, she looked as if she had suffered a great loss, as if Mo Qingze had taken great advantage of her.
