Chapter 551: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 551: Beaten into a Pig's Head (2)
Wu Shi let out a small sigh of relief. She had feared that her daughter would stubbornly refuse to admit anything, but now that Da Ni had confessed, it would be easier to address the issue.
“Da Ni'er, who is this person? Do I know him? I’ve told you before, if you’ve set your heart on someone and he has good character, is caring, and his family is easy to get along with, I won’t oppose it.”
Da Ni shook her head and refused to reveal who the person was: “Mother, please don’t ask. I won’t tell you who he is. Rest assured, I know my limits and won’t act recklessly.”
Wu Shi, hearing this, was not reassured but even more worried: “You silly child, you’ve always been more stubborn than anyone else. If you don’t speak up, does that mean I just watch you torment yourself and get trapped in your own thoughts?”
“No, Mother, I won’t. It will be better in a while. I promise I won’t be unrealistic!” Da Ni shook her head vigorously, looking straight at Wu Shi, as if trying to persuade both her mother and herself.
Seeing this, Wu Shi’s heart ached even more, but she knew that rushing things would only make matters worse. She softened her tone and said gently, “Alright, if you don’t want to talk, I won’t force you. When you’re ready to share, come to me. At my age, all I want is for you four siblings to live healthy, happy lives.”
Seeing her mother, whose temples were graying, Da Nier nodded tearfully and said, “Mother, I understand. I will be fine. Don’t worry about me!”
How can I not worry with you acting like this? Wu Shi sighed inwardly, caressing her daughter’s damp cheek, and nodded without saying more.

The construction of the wine cellar’s foundation was a significant project. With hundreds of people working daily with shovels and picks, they could only excavate one-twentieth of the foundation for one phase in a day. If the weather remained clear, it would still take about a month and a half to complete the foundation.
In contrast, the rice harvest was much quicker. With forty to fifty efficient villagers helping, over a hundred acres of rice were harvested in just three days. Fortunately, it was already autumn, and the weather was crisp and clear. The harvested rice could be spread out to dry in a day or two. Then, it would be moved to the rice barn, spread evenly, and threshed using a bullock-drawn stone roller.

As noon approached, Mo Yan hurried back from the construction site to prepare lunch. On the way home, she unexpectedly ran into someone she didn’t want to see—Mo Yongxi.
This route was the shortest from Mo’s home to the construction site, and more people had been passing through lately. Mo Yongxi’s appearance here seemed like she was waiting specifically for Mo Yan.
As they drew closer, the increasingly elegant Mo Yan made Mo Yongxi clench her fists, struggling to suppress her urge to tear that face apart. She managed a twisted smile and said, “Oh, I thought it was someone important. It’s just a little slut who’s just returned from the men’s den. No wonder there’s such a disgusting stench from afar!”
These words were harsh and directly sullied Mo Yan’s reputation, insinuating improper associations with the workers and Master Lu. If other girls in the village had heard this, those with thinner skins might have been driven to despair.
Mo Yan glanced at the malicious Mo Yongxi, then quickly looked away as if she had seen something revolting, walking straight past her, completely ignoring her presence.
Such people are merely seeking attention. The more you care, the more they will provoke. The best approach is to simply ignore them.
