Chapter 792: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 792: The Cause of Rebirth (1)
Wu Shi acted quickly, instructing Da Ni’er to take care of Tie Tou at home before heading to the city alone that very day. No one knew what she discussed with Liu Qingqing, but when she returned, her mood seemed improved. Although she didn’t say it directly, her words subtly indicated her satisfaction with Liu Qingqing. If nothing unexpected happens, the marriage seems to be settled.
Mo Yan, who hadn’t yet come up with a suitable plan, let out a sigh of relief as the matter was swiftly resolved. She was now just waiting for the Wu family to finalize the date and looking forward to happily attending the wedding banquet.
However, Mo Yan still had some lingering doubts. She asked Xue Tuanzi, “If the Wu family hadn’t separated from the old Mo family, would Tie Tou and Liu Qingqing have had no future together? Was it because of Hong Shi’s pressure that Tie Tou couldn’t resist?”
“Of course not!” Xue Tuanzi replied. “Tie Tou fought back, but in the end, Wu Shi softened and compromised. However, as long as they’re still tied to the old Mo family, everything is under Hong Shi’s control! Hong Shi doesn’t care about her grandson, so how could she compromise?”
Mo Yan sighed, “It seems that no matter when, we must have control over our own affairs. Otherwise, we’ll just be at the mercy of others! But, given Hong Shi’s greed, once she knows Liu Qingqing can afford to support a maid, she’ll definitely realize Liu Qingqing has money. In exchange for that money, she should agree, right?”
Speaking of Hong Shi reminded Mo Yan of the old Mo family. Ever since Mo Yongxi’s actions were exposed and he was punished to work in the stone mines, no one in the village wanted anything to do with the old Mo family.
The old Mo family had become quiet, rarely seen around the village. Occasionally, gossip would surface, mostly about Hong Shi being bedridden and miserable, or about Niu Shi and Mo Yonglu’s arguments, with Hong Shi being thrown out to live in a shed, or rumors of divorce. In short, none of it was good news for the old Mo family.
Upon hearing Mo Yan’s doubts, Xue Tuanzi snorted, “Do you think Hong Shi wouldn’t try to take advantage? If you hadn’t asked Liu Qingqing for help and made the madam of pleasure House give you some face, freeing Liu Qingqing’s contract, do you think she could have left with her savings?”
“Eh, would the madam really seize the belongings of a girl about to leave? That doesn’t seem likely!” Mo Yan thought that Yan Junyu’s purpose in House was to acquire valuable information, not for lack of money. Could it be that he’d allow his people to harshly seize the savings from someone leaving?
Xue Tuanzi rolled her eyes, her tone disappointed. “Yan Yan, you’re really too naive! Yan Junyu may not be short of money, but that doesn’t mean his subordinates aren’t! The madam of House is ruthless and greedy. As long as it doesn’t interfere with the main business, she’d have no hesitation in pocketing the dirty money. Even if exposed, she wouldn’t face any punishment, so why wouldn’t she do it?”
Mo Yan could tell Xue Tuanzi was mocking her, which made her teeth itch with anger. She almost wanted to climb a tree and pull Xue Tuanzi down to give her a good beating.
However, Xue Tuanzi’s words were quite realistic. In her past life, such things were more common, especially in larger enterprises. As long as it didn’t harm the company’s interests, some people would use their position to gain personal benefits, and it was usually just a matter of turning a blind eye.
Although she understood the concept of “a crystal-clear pond has no fish,” the thought of how things would be when her own winery was built, and she’d need to hire many people, left her feeling uncomfortable. She knew that similar things would inevitably happen, but there was no point in dwelling on it.
Since such things couldn’t be avoided, Mo Yan quickly dismissed the thought and turned to ask about something she’d long wondered. “Xue Tuanzi, if I hadn’t come to this time and space, what would have happened to my father and the others?”
