The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Speaking of which, Mo Ernier was quite unlucky. She recognized a godfather at the beginning, and finally persuaded the godfather to take her away from the Xue family, and successfully entered the Lin family, which was quite influential in the court at that time.

She originally lived a good life in the Lin family, but gradually gained the trust of Miss Lin. She was about to become the first person in front of Miss Lin, and soon she could rely on the influence of the Lin family to return to Liuyang Village in glory. Looking for revenge on the Mo family, he unexpectedly got the news that Mo Yan was made a county prince. He could only suppress the idea of ​​destroying the Mo family with resentment and wait for the opportunity to take revenge.

But what she never expected was that the Lin family, which she regarded as majestic as a mountain, would be ransacked overnight. As a slave of the Lin family, she was marked as an official slave and was finally bought by a brothel. From then on He lived a life worse than life and death.

The moment she was pinned down by the fat and vulgar benefactor, the resentment in Mo Ernier's heart reached an unprecedented depth. She resented the injustice of fate for making her become the daughter of a poor family; she resented Mo Hong for being vicious and sold her to a trafficker; she resented Mo Yonglu and Mo Niu for being incompetent and unable to protect her after giving birth to her...

However, the one who resented the most was Mo Yan. All her bad beginnings were all because of the Mo family. Because Mo Yan got better, she gradually fell into this situation... To put it bluntly, this kind of thinking was purely caused by jealousy. She couldn't help it. She changed her own destiny, but hated the person who changed her destiny. Otherwise, she would not have done something outrageous because of jealousy. Even now, forcing her into such a situation, she still complied with the sentence: it is your own fault. No way to live!

However, Mo Ernier didn't know how to reflect and paranoidly believed that it was all the fault of others and that others had failed her. The more miserable she became, the deeper the resentment in her heart became.

At the beginning of this year, Mo Yonglu took his family to the city to make a living. He was illiterate and had no skills. He could only work as a coolie to help people carry goods to earn a meager income to support his family.

Due to the pressure of survival, Mo Niu had to go out to find work. She was not young and had no special skills, so she could only do some tiring and unprofitable jobs like Mo Yonglu. Later, she finally found a job pouring night incense, but she traveled to various brothels in the capital.

Working in such a place is not a good idea, and many people who sell night fragrance are unwilling to do it, otherwise it would not be Mo Niu's turn.

However, Mo Niu never dreamed that she would meet her laughing daughter in such a dirty place. She almost went crazy and pulled Mo Ernier out, but was treated as a troublemaker by the thugs in the brothel. Beaten.

Because of this, Mo Niu lost even her job of pouring night fragrance. She returned to the dilapidated house where she temporarily settled with an injury, and told Mo Yonglu about her encounter with Mo Ernier.

Mo Yonglu was still smart and didn't come to the door to make a fuss. With only a little over a hundred coins, he tried his best to bribe the person who guarded the back door of the brothel where Mo Ernier was, and then took advantage of the night. Many people in the brothel would not notice him, so they pretended to be a patron and went in through the back door. He actually found Mo Ernier, who was accompanying the guest.

Mo Ernier's appearance is not outstanding, and she has no talent, so she can only be the lowest prostitute in the brothel. She has endless customers every day, and those customers are also vulgar and do not know how to buy things. For her poor soul, such a life was comparable to hell on earth, making her life worse than death.

When she was found by Mo Yonglu, although Mo Ernier hated her father for being incompetent and not stopping her from being sold, which put her in such an embarrassing situation, her yearning for freedom and her hatred for the Mo family made her suppress her hatred for Mo Yonglu. Her parents were resentful and cried and begged Mo Yonglu to save her.

Mo Yonglu was already ashamed of his daughter, so how could he not agree? However, when Mo Ernier told her how to redeem her, he found that he could not solve either of the two problems in front of him.

Unlike people who have entered ordinary slave status, this kind of person can redeem himself if conditions permit, but official slaves cannot. Even if they are redeemed by their family members, they are still official slaves who cannot eliminate their slave status unless they find a good person. Only by paying a large sum of money to Guanxi can he be restored to his status as a good citizen.

In order to see Mo Ernier, Mo Yonglu was already penniless. Even if Mo Ernier was just the lowest prostitute, the money she paid to redeem herself would not be less than two hundred taels. If you want to eliminate the slave status, even if you find someone who can talk to the government, you will still need the same amount or more money to open up the relationship. Such a lot of money is not something that the poor Mo Yonglu can come up with.

After coming out of the brothel, Mo Yonglu looked for people to borrow usury money. However, for a person like him who had no fixed abode, no house, and nothing valuable as collateral, no one was willing to lend him money, so a man ran outside. For many months, not only did they not borrow a penny, but the whole family almost starved to death on the streets.

When Mo Ernier knelt on the ground again, holding Mo Yonglu's thigh and crying, Mo Yonglu was desperate and finally decided to come back to Mo Yan for help. Although he knew that Mo Yan's help was unlikely, he There is no other way.

Listening to Mo Yonglu's cries and pleas, Mo Yan didn't feel any waves in his heart. If so, he was moved by his fatherly heart. If it were another person, she would definitely help, but Mo Ernier... this person who had repeatedly harmed their family and harbored resentment towards their family, she couldn't feel any sympathy for.

If he is saved this time by being soft-hearted, who knows if the person he saves will be a poisonous snake who will bite him again later?

Under Mo Yonglu's hopeful eyes, Mo Yan refused without mercy: "Mo Yonglu, please go back, I can't do this."

Mo Yonglu's face turned pale, but he refused to give up like this: "Girl Yan, I know, I know it was our fault in the past, and I did a lot of things that I did wrong to your family. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope that for the sake of Since the two families have the same ancestors and share the same blood, please help me this time. Just this time, I, Mo Yonglu, will act like a cow and a horse to repay your great kindness."

Mo Yan shook her head, with an extremely indifferent expression: "I didn't hold Mo Ernier accountable for what she did back then, just for the sake of the same ancestor. Now that she has fallen into such a situation, it can be seen that God is punishing her. I will never go against God for her, you can go back, I don’t need anyone to act like a cow or a horse for me."

"Yan Yatou..." Mo Yonglu's face showed despair, and he knocked his forehead to the ground, while admitting his mistake: "Yan Yatou, it was because I didn't teach Er Nier well that Er Nier made those mistakes. It turns out that everything is my fault, sir. I apologize to you on behalf of Ernier. Please help save her, save her. Please, I will kowtow to you, kowtow to you..."

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of his forehead touching the ground echoed in the spacious main hall, without any trace of falsehood. Mo Yonglu's forehead quickly turned blue and purple, and traces of blood oozed from some places.

Mo Yan turned her head away and said to the hair ball and the little flower who came to watch the fun: "You two send him out. If he is too lazy to leave, don't show mercy."

With that said, she never looked at Mo Yonglu again, turned around and walked towards the backyard, gradually leaving Mo Yonglu's desperate pleading behind her.

"Sister, you seem to be in a bad mood. Do you regret it?"

In the backyard, Xin'er looked at her sister who looked not so good and asked worriedly. She knew her sister was kind-hearted, but she was afraid that her sister would regret and blame herself for not helping others.

Mo Yan came back to her senses and couldn't help but laugh: "Mo Ernier has done so many bad things to our family. She is in this situation all because of herself. What can I blame myself for?"

Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief and asked puzzledly: "Then why are you looking like this? It made me think you regretted it and ran to save people again!"

Mo Yan's smile disappeared and she sighed softly: "Sister, I'm thinking, Mo Yonglu and Mo Ernier are father and daughter. Both of them have done bad things to our family. One of them has repented and turned over a new leaf." Gradually, he became a responsible and good person who would never do evil again, but he got deeper and deeper and ended up hurting himself like this... I don't regret not agreeing to save people, I just feel a little sympathy for Mo Yonglu."

If only Mo Ernier could repent and start a new life after being sold, she might not ignore Mo Yonglu's request like today. However, that time in Buzhuang, she clearly felt that Mo Ernier was treating her or them. The family had such deep resentment, it was obvious that this man was possessed and not worth her saving.

Poor parents in the world, she didn't want to see anyone from the old Mo family, but from the perspective of a stranger, she really sympathized with Mo Yonglu. If he is willing to give up saving Mo Ernier and teach his two sons well to prevent them from going astray, even if he does not have great blessings in the future, he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life, but it seems impossible now.

Mo Ernier may drag the whole family into trouble this time, but it has nothing to do with her, and she has no obligation to remind Mo Yonglu anything.

"So, people can't do bad things. Even if they don't receive retribution at the time, doing a bad thing will unknowingly push themselves into a desperate situation. By the time they want to escape, it's already too late." Xin'er said with emotion, secretly thinking Warn yourself mentally.

Xin'er also heard Mo Yonglu's cry and begged, and felt somewhat sympathetic in her heart, but this sympathy was not enough for her to forgive Mo Ernier. Otherwise, she would have run out to help plead for mercy.

Mo Yan quite agreed with this and patted Xin'er's head happily: "That's right! But you can't have the intention to harm others, and you have to be on guard against others. You have to be wary of people with evil intentions. , and you can’t just be bullied blindly.”

…

Mo Yongxi, who was driven out of Mo's house by a tiger and a wolf, looked at the door that was open but he could no longer enter. Under the fierce gazes of four people, he left step by step in despair.

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to enter the village. He did not go back to Lao Mo's house, but went straight to the house of Mo Fang, the leader of the Mo clan...

Later, Mo Yan heard that Mo Yonglu did not leave immediately after being kicked out, but instead found other Mo families to borrow money.

These families followed Mo Yan to build greenhouses last year and made a lot of money. Later, they used some to build houses and still had a lot left over. If every household contributed twenty or thirty taels, they could almost collect enough money for Mo Ernier's redemption.

As for the elimination of slave status, Mo Yonglu originally planned to let people go and redeem them first. But he had a good idea. When the tribesmen heard that he went to the Mo family to plead for mercy, but Mo Yan was unwilling to help and didn't even lend money, no one would lend him money. Each family only gave him a few hundred coins. Without letting him return it, he politely sent him out of the house.

These people know that Mo Yan is kind-hearted. Even if strangers ask her for help, she is willing to help as long as she can. If they don't help Mo Yonglu now, there must be a reason why they don't help. If they help rashly, they will worry about offending Mo Yan. , I will not be involved in any good things in the future. Secondly, I suspect that Mo Yonglu lied and asked for so much money. In fact, he committed a serious crime (for the sake of Mo Ernier's reputation, Mo Yonglu did not say that he borrowed the money to redeem it in a brothel. She), no one dared to borrow it for fear of being implicated.

In the end, Mo Yonglu only took the nearly five taels of silver that his tribe gave him and left. No one knew whether he had borrowed the money. Even though some people couldn't bear it, they didn't dare to ask about Mo Yonglu's family out of various concerns. Only a few daughters-in-law couldn't bear the gossip, so they went to Mo Yan and asked a few insidious questions. When they couldn't get anything out of them, they became even more angry. They believed that Mo Yonglu's family had committed something ulterior, and they were all glad that they had not lent out the money.

Of the more than one hundred households in the village, seventy or eighty participated in this year's greenhouse planting. Everyone relied on this to live a good life. Everyone worked hard in the fields, and no one had any extra energy to gossip about others. Household matters. Mo Yonglu's sudden return to the village to borrow money caused a small splash in the village, but it soon subsided and was soon forgotten.

The winery project is coming to an end, and Mo Yan is not as busy as before. After she sells the 100,000 jins of grain harvested from the village and the 160,000 jins of grain harvested from the lowlands to the royal family, she will also arrange for the autumn harvest at the village. After plowing, I was completely free and helped make cotton-padded clothes every day. My life was fulfilling and peaceful.

"Girl Yan, there are three to four hundred pieces of these thick and thin cotton-padded clothes in total. You have made so many, do you want to buy them?" Sister-in-law Cai curiously asked Mo Yan, who was cutting the material, while sewing.

These cotton-padded clothes are so good, filled with the best new cotton, and made of warm and soft fine cotton. If you sell any of them in a shop, you can get one or two hundred cents. Sister-in-law Cai is not the only one who has this idea. , other women who helped make clothes thought so too.

"No, these cotton-padded clothes are used for other purposes and will not be sold in shops. You will know when the time comes." Mo Yan said with a smile. She didn't want to tell the purpose of the cotton-padded clothes so early, otherwise she would wait for the soldiers at the border to come over. , a second hot discussion has to be sparked.

This time she invited twenty women to help make clothes. These people were quick and their division of labor greatly improved their efficiency. In just over ten days, they made more than three hundred sets of cotton-padded clothes of varying thicknesses. In addition to cotton-padded clothes, we also need to make outer shirts and cotton-padded shoes. We don’t need to use these in a hurry, but we can leave them for later.

Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, Sister-in-law Cai stopped asking. In fact, they had secretly guessed that a large number of people were coming to the Mo family. Not to mention the newly built houses in the orchard, the 300 sets of furniture shipped from the wooden store in the past two days were so shocking that the eyes of the villagers almost dropped.

These are all new furniture made of good wood, and a set costs at least two taels of silver. Even if a daughter in the village uses this kind of furniture as a dowry, she can still afford it. After several hundred sets, that’s five or six hundred taels!

In fact, all these furniture were made in the furniture store where Mo Yanyou received dividends. It only cost 200 taels of wood money, and each of the furniture masters was given a red envelope of 3 taels of silver. The total was It's just three hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, fifteen hundred taels of silver wouldn't be enough to build so many houses and buy so much furniture.

A group of people were sitting together working, chatting and laughing, and it was quite lively. Soon someone asked Sister-in-law Cai: "Has the day for your fat head been decided? Sister-in-law Wu's iron head has been decided, and it will be on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. There’s two!”

"Haha, it's settled. It's a few days earlier than Sister-in-law Wu's house, and it's scheduled to be on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year." Speaking of her son's marriage, Sister-in-law Cai couldn't help but smile from ear to ear: "This kid has been clamoring for a wife for a long time, but it's just spring. I'm so busy working in the greenhouse that I don't have time to take care of him, so I can't delay any more now, lest my in-laws have any objections and think that my family doesn't like my daughter-in-law!"

"Oh, Sister-in-law Cai is lucky. Her parents-in-law are kind, her sister-in-law is kind, and her son has found a virtuous wife. There is really nothing to choose from."

Upon hearing Sister-in-law Cai's tone, everyone knew that she was very satisfied with her unmarried daughter-in-law. Yes, the woman is a girl from the city. Although her family background is average, she is more knowledgeable than the girls from farmers' families. It is said that she can earn a lot of money every month by working as an embroiderer in an embroidery house.

Now the Wang family has made a fortune in the greenhouse, and this year they also built a very spacious yard. Because the sisters-in-law are very harmonious and the Wang brothers are united, they still live together. A new house was also prepared for each grandson. Because of this, the more than one hundred taels of silver earned were all spent. However, the money was well spent, and I was happy after spending it.

"Everywhere, everyone's life will get better and better in the future. In the past, there were discords at home, and it was not because of poverty. When we have money, who will argue over trivial matters." Sister-in-law Cai said a few modest words at the right time, Although she has a loud voice, she has a very gentle heart. Some of the people here have had bad days. If she followed her words and showed her pride, she might offend others.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of the women who had been having a few unsatisfactory days looked much better. They were not jealous of Sister-in-law Wang's family, but they simply felt that there was no hope for their own lives. Now they are comforted by Sister-in-law Cai, I feel much better.

Mo Yan listened to these gossips with great interest. Don't think that women get together just to gossip and speak ill of others behind their backs. Many women have their own way of dealing with the world.

Although she has lived two lives, she was only twenty-five years old in her previous life. Due to physical reasons, her twenty-five-year experience was very monotonous, and she was somewhat lacking in how to deal with others. Listen more to what others say, and understand more how others deal with the world. You can learn a lot.

But the next moment, a woman's words made her face suddenly turn cold...
