Chapter 817 Together (2)
Mo Yan nodded and replied, "Don’t worry, I won’t!"
The problem was with Mr. Du himself; there was no need for her to deliberately slander him. She would find a way to show Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu his true colors, to let them know that Sister Lan wouldn’t be happy marrying such scum. Considering their fondness for Sister Lan, they would probably risk their reputation rather than marry off their cherished daughter to such a man.
Having made up her mind, Mo Yan relaxed completely. She chatted with Xuetuan for a while longer, feeling very sleepy. Seeing that it was well past the time of Ugly Hour and less than four hours before dawn, she wouldn’t get good sleep outside, so she simply went to sleep inside Space.
In Space, there was a small bed and bedding already set up, which was very convenient indeed. However, the vastness and emptiness of Space made Mo Yan uncomfortable, so she rarely spent the night there. Overwhelmed by exhaustion now, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next day, Mo Yan emerged from the courtyard feeling refreshed and enjoyed a sumptuous New Year’s breakfast amidst her family’s astonished gazes.
After breakfast, the family set out as they did every year to pay New Year visits in the village. This year, however, everyone tacitly "forgot" about Lao Mo’s House. The villagers, seeing them walk straight past Lao Mo’s House without stopping, didn’t presume to say anything.
They might not have visited Lao Mo’s House, but they still heard an earful about the recent events there. It was all about Mrs. Niu not wanting to look after the paralyzed Mrs. Hong, nor was she willing to shell out silver for her sustenance.
On New Year’s Eve, during the reunion dinner, Mrs. Niu created a scene again, purposely stirring up trouble and smashing a bowl, which was not an auspicious act. She was severely chastised by Mo Yonglu for it.
