Chapter 982: Autumn Harvest Seeking Medical Help (3)
Yang Bao, upon hearing this, smiled and said, "It’s good that the day is set. I’ll give the exact date to the villagers later, so they can make their own arrangements."
"Right, then I’ll have to trouble Uncle Yang," responded Mo Yan with a smile as she expressed her thanks.
Yang Bao waved his hands dismissively, insisting it was a small matter, then hesitated for a moment before asking with some confusion, "Yan girl, this house you’re building seems even bigger than your family’s courtyard. What are you using it for?"
The Mo Family was a unique presence in Liu Yang Village and even in the nearby villages, any slight movement at the Mo Family home could attract a crowd of onlookers and gossipers. The Mo Family’s sudden hiring of so many people to build such a large house, without revealing its purpose, only fueled more speculation.
Some said it was to be a workshop for medicinal herbs—hadn’t they seen the large expanse of well-growing medicinal fields on the back hill? Others suggested it was to be a residence to sell to rich and noble families from Jing City. Even more far-fetched was the idea that the Mo Family had found a feng shui treasure site and were constructing a large mansion to ensure the family’s wealth and prosperity flourished...
Mo Yan lived in the village and had heard these speculations. Since they were not negative, she didn’t feel the need to explain. Now, seeing that Yang Bao had asked again, she did not want to reveal the purpose of the house and have it become a topic of discussion before it was even completed, so she played coy, "Uncle Yang, naturally, the construction has its important uses, as for what it will be used for, you’ll know in time."
Upon hearing this, Yang Bao refrained from asking any further, but his curiosity deepened. He even thought that if the Mo Family really had found a feng shui treasure site and planned to build a new residence, he might build his new house nearby to benefit from the Mo Family’s good fortune.
