Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 284: Obtaining the Store and Tricking the Zhang Family (6)_1

Upon leaving the Government Office, Zhang Fugui, whose old face had never looked good, glared at Mo Yan and threatened her, "I hope Miss Mo keeps her word; otherwise, even if it costs me everything, I won’t let you go."

Mo Yan rolled her eyes, "Now that I’ve got the shop, why should I care so much about that? Do you need me to swear to heaven or something?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fugui gave a cold snort and glowered at Lizhong before storming off with a fling of his sleeve.

"Yan girl, are you just going to let him continue to deceive people?" Seeing that the man had walked far away, Lizhong voiced his doubts. He didn’t believe Mo Yan would keep the secret for the Zhang Family for just Two thousand taels of silver.

Mo Yan turned around, her smile deep with meaning, "The people of the Zhang Family are so hateful. How could someone as kind and just as I am let them continue to harm others at leisure?"

Lizhong’s eyelids twitched, and he felt a sense of schadenfreude for the Zhang Family, but why the exhilaration of revenge served cold in his heart?

On her return to Huixian Residence, Mo Yan found Xiao Zhu and asked him to find a few more people to keep an eye on the Zhang Family’s movements, giving him some detailed instructions.

Xiao Zhu didn’t quite understand, but the task wasn’t difficult. Besides, Mo Yan had offered a generous reward, so he was sure his friends would be willing to take on this easy, legal job.

With the deed to the new house in hand, Mo Yan boarded the carriage in high spirits, heading back to Liu Yang Village with Lizhong.

Although she had bought the shop and only Three Hundred Taels of silver remained at home, there was no shortage of rice and grain, and not much spending was needed. Once the shop opened, there would be income. What’s more, Mu’s Shop was bringing in a dividend of fifty or sixty liang each month. And even if there was an urgent need for silver, there were plenty of precious herbs in the Space that could be traded for a good amount of silver.

As for the one thousand liang of hush money from the Zhang Family, she had no intention of using that ill-gotten wealth. When the need arose in the future, she would do good deeds with it, accumulating virtue on behalf of those who had contributed that silver.

That evening, Little Flower returned from the hills in a sorry state yet again. After it had wolfed down two large bowls of rice mixed with soup, Mo Yan, hugging it, said with immense sympathy, "Your master doesn’t want you anymore; he’s given you to me. If you feel sad, go ahead and cry. I won’t laugh at you."

Expecting the abandoned Little Flower to show some signs of sorrow, maybe even shed a couple of tears, who knew that the creature would just roll its eyes at Mo Yan, flop down in the little wooden house, and go straight to sleep with its head to one side!

Mo Yan: "..."

Daring to roll her eyes at her new master, does it still want to drink Spirit Spring Water or eat Spatial Chicken? She really wanted to strangle it, didn’t she?

Two days later, Xiao Zhu called on her again.

Being stared at with admiring eyes, Mo Yan felt a little uneasy. She coughed and asked, "Little Brother Zhu, have the Zhang Family been caught?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhu’s eyes shone even brighter, "Miss Mo is truly a master strategist! Today, before dawn, the Zhang Family tried to sneak off with their valuables. The people shadowing them followed Miss Mo’s instructions, held them up, and called the shop owners who had bought from them. It turns out the Zhang Family has been ’fishing’ with shops as bait. Now the whole lot is being sued at the Government Office by seven or eight shop owners, demanding their shops back."

After hearing this, Mo Yan felt that the situation matched her expectations. Now it all depended on how those people decided to deal with the Zhang Family. Anyway, with the new deed in black and white in her hands, no one could snatch the shop away from her. She intended to stay out of what was coming next.

Grateful for Xiao Zhu’s and his friends’ help with the affair, Mo Yan was not going to leave them unrewarded. She took out fifty taels of silver, giving twenty to Xiao Zhu and leaving thirty for his friends to share. However, Xiao Zhu absolutely refused to accept it!
