Chapter 518: No Strategy Left Unturned (2)_1
The silver they earned, after deducting the cost, was split fifty-fifty between the two households. Over a few months, the mother and daughter had saved nearly a hundred taels of silver with her. To build a simple three-room house using good bricks and tiles would cost no more than ten or twenty taels. Even if they wanted to build a few more rooms, it wouldn’t exceed fifty taels. They had enough silver for that.
Seeing that Mo Yan understood her meaning, Mo Wu’s smile deepened, "It should be like this, or how else would we have the saying, ’A gold nest and a silver nest are not as good as one’s own dog nest’? When I have built a house, the Yan girl must help me think it through carefully to see how to make it comfortable!"
Mo Yan readily agreed, already having some preliminary ideas for the layout of the soon-to-be-built house.
Dani, who could only rest on her stomach due to a shoulder blade injury, listened to the two of them discussing the house-building with enthusiasm. The unease and restraint she had previously felt also vanished in this positive atmosphere.
Thinking of soon having a new home that was free of beatings, indifferent coldness, and completely theirs, Dani also began to look forward to it. She fantasized about the happy life of her family in the future, her smile growing even more radiant on her face.
Wu’s mother and daughter ended up staying with the Mo Family. Because of Wu’s "miscarriage," she had to go through "confinement." Since Dani’s injury would not heal in a short period, at Mo Yan’s earnest persuasion, they temporarily set aside their snack stall business and stayed at the Mo Family’s house to heal and recuperate.
Doctor Du visited every few days, brought home by Mo Yan to treat Dani’s injuries. With his excellent medical skills and Wu’s careful nursing, it took just over half a month for Dani, who had nearly gone moldy lying in bed, to be able to walk around, though she couldn’t do any work. Yet, she could at least sit at the dining table and eat with everyone.
Dani’s shoulder blade had been set correctly and was healing nicely, which relieved Wu. She wasted no time in finding Mo Yan to put into action the plan they had previously agreed upon, to get the other three children away from Lao Mo’s House as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would not be able to rest easy.
