The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

When Liu Tinglan heard this, a look of urgency appeared on her face, but she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Let's just look at each other. Can you still make the decision for him?"

Mo Yan suppressed a smile and said in a reproachful tone: "I didn't expect you to be so heartless. Brother Shen is so pitiful! In this case, I hope that Brother Shen will find the woman of his dreams as soon as possible and live a happy life together."

Although she knew her friend's intention, when she heard what she said, Liu Tinglan's heart still felt like she was soaked in a jar of jealousy. She said angrily: "Smug Yanyan, stop talking, I won't be fooled by you!"

Mo Yan was about to tease her friend about what she would be fooled into, but seeing her look like she was about to cry, she was worried that the stimulation would be too overwhelming and it would be difficult to coax her back. When the words came to her lips, she swallowed them again.

The two chatted endlessly about other topics until sleepiness hit them in the middle of the night, and they fell asleep unknowingly...

Liu Tinglan rested at Mo's house for seven days in a row, until Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu thought she was almost recovered, so she sent the family's coachman to take her back.

It was so good to eat, drink and have fun at Mo's house. Liu Tinglan didn't want to leave. She took Mo Yan's hand and begged: "Yan Yan, I haven't had enough fun yet. Why don't you write a letter to my parents to tell my parents that I still have lingering poison?" , let me rest at your house for another ten days and a half?"

Mo Yan looked amused and urged: "You'd better go back and finish the Du family's affairs. Then I don't need to write a letter, and your uncle and aunt will be eager to send you over to 'relax'!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "relax".

Liu Tinglan was a smart girl. She understood instantly and immediately showed a sad expression: "Like this?"

Mo Yan held back her laughter and praised her superb performance: "Not bad!"

Liu Tinglan was very happy. When she got on the carriage, she saw the driver in front of her with a look of despair.

The driver of the Liu family didn't know what happened, and was frightened for a moment. After waiting for someone to get on the carriage, he quickly bolted the door tightly from the outside and ran to Liu's house at a high speed, fearing that his girl might not think about it and jump out of the carriage halfway.

…

As soon as Liu Tinglan left, Mo Yan became busy. Not only do we have to deal with matters on the construction site, but we also have to deal with matters in the fields and building schools.

Since the beginning of March, the second phase of the winery has been under construction, and almost all the vegetables in the greenhouse have been sold out. Except for the Mo family, the other thirty-five families relied on greenhouse vegetables. Each family earned at least 180 taels of silver, and some earned nearly 200 taels more.

Such a large amount of income can almost be described as getting rich overnight. Now, those thirty-five families have decided to build new houses after spring plowing, and the school will be built at the same time.

Mo Yan feels that Liuyang Village is a big village and will become more and more prosperous in the future. Only by building a school with better conditions can it meet the needs of the children in the village to study.

So when the village chiefs and representatives of several villages were discussing how to build schools, she expressed her opinion, building a secondary school with bricks and tiles, providing better food and accommodation conditions, and at least retaining better teachers. .

Several village chiefs agreed with this, but many villagers were not rich. The school Mo Yan mentioned cost at least three hundred taels of silver. The three hundred taels of silver are distributed equally to each account, and each family must contribute at least eight hundred cents. There are many people who are unwilling to pay for it. If the money is divided like this, there will be even more people who are willing to pay for it. .

Eight hundred coins is not a small sum for a farmer. They were willing to pay the money, but the poor villagers heard about it and firmly opposed it, demanding that the money be paid according to the original 100 yuan. Some of the well-off families, such as the more than 30 families who grew vegetables, were each willing to contribute one tael of silver.

In this regard, Mo Yan did not force herself. After the villagers who were willing to give money took out one hundred coins and handed them to their respective village chiefs, and after the final results were tallied, she made up for the missing two hundred and forty taels of silver. Two hundred and twenty taels of them belong to her, and the remaining twenty taels belong to Liu Tinglan.

After the school affairs are settled, it’s time for spring plowing. The Mo family's 30 acres of dry land and more than 100 acres of terraced fields need help. Fortunately, after nearly half a year of training, Tang Xin has been able to take charge of her own business and hire people for Mo Yan to take care of things in the fields very well. Mo Yan All his thoughts were focused on the construction site and the Liu family.

Half a month passed and there was still no news from the Liu family. Just when Mo Yan couldn't help but plan to ask Maomao to go to Liu's house, Liu Tinglan was sent there by Liu's father and Liu's mother with worried eyes.
