Chapter 101 Let me use your rice.

Mo Yunmei even tried to coerce and entice Zhou Yuzhu into handing over some hair accessories!

Grandma Mo came over and handed her a basket. "Go to work! The Mo family doesn't support lazy people. If you want to eat, you have to work. If you don't work, you won't have anything to eat, and you can't blame anyone else."

After saying that, he went out without caring whether Mo Yunmei followed or not.

Mo Yunmei really didn't want to work; she wanted to procrastinate until the very end and then not go at all. Anyway, her family wouldn't hit her, and she could still get food if she ran fast.

But Mo Laoda didn't give her a chance and kept rushing on. Even when they reached the mountain, he wouldn't stop for her and made her cultivate the wasteland.

We've given her too much freedom. My third brother is right; if we don't push her to work, how will she know how hard work is? How will she learn to be considerate of others? Even if she can't do much work, she still has to do it!

Mo Yunmei lost her freedom and had to work. She couldn't find excuses to slack off, and running away was out of the question.

The Mo family planted corn seedlings that afternoon. No need to ask where the corn seedlings came from; they were simply dug up from the mountains by the mute woman.

After planting, I watered it and then went home.

After a night, the corn seedlings recovered and began to grow slowly, because Su Nanxi had added some spiritual spring water to the water, which helped them take root.

In the morning, Mo Yunmei was dragged out of bed early. She kept saying that she wanted to sleep and wanted to lie down and continue sleeping, but she was dragged directly to the eaves outside.

Then the sound of banging on the pot rang in Mo Yunmei's ears, and she woke up instantly, all her sleepiness gone.

"Once you wake up, quickly wash up, eat breakfast, and then go to work."

Grandma Mo held two plates in her hands, and after speaking, she turned and left.

Mo Yunmei had no choice but to comply. She tried to find an excuse, but the bamboo whip in Old Lady Mo's hand was no joke. It struck her feet with one lash, startling her so much that she screamed "Ah!"

Grandma Mo urged Mo Yunmei to go to work, it was for her own good.

The eldest son said that she is of marriageable age, but she doesn't know anything and is lazy. If they don't force her to learn basic survival skills, she will resent them to death in the future, and she might even be rejected by someone else!

So if you push her a little now, things will be better later. At least she won't starve herself or cause trouble everywhere.

We spoiled her too much before. She didn't have the life of a pampered young lady, but she wanted to live like one!

Mo Yunmei cried out, but no one paid her any attention. She had already said that she could only go home after finishing her work under the scorching sun.

She wanted to go dig for wild vegetables and pick mushrooms so she wouldn't get so much sun, and she'd already gotten quite tanned. But Grandma Mo disagreed, and there was no room for negotiation now!

Unable to bear the heat any longer, Mo Yunmei wanted to quit. She threw down the wood-chopping knife in her hand and was about to leave when she turned around and saw her older brother carrying firewood. She hurriedly picked up the knife again.

Old Master Mo pretended not to see it, put down the firewood, and went back to work.

Mo Lao Er, who was following behind, also put down his firewood and joined in the work.

Su Nanxi, carrying a string of dolls, soon came out as well.

The sun got too strong, so the group went back.

Today is the last day to make rice noodles, and Qin Youming arrived very early.

The two sisters-in-law from the Luo family arrived early and met Qin Youming on the way. Luo asked, "How much rice did you bring? Please give us some later, we forgot to bring any."

Qin Youming was taken aback and refused, "I only brought enough for myself, I don't have any more."

After thinking for a moment, Luo said, "Then don't do it for a while, let us do it. You already did it yesterday, so it's our turn today."

Taking turns to operate is fine, but...

Qin Youming wasn't stupid. "It's alright, I won't bother you. Do whatever you want."

Mrs. Luo smiled happily. This young man was really sensible. She reached out and said, "Then bring the rice!"

Qin Youming feigned ignorance, "What rice? Your rice isn't with me."

Mrs. Luo frowned. "Bring me your rice! How are we supposed to operate without rice?"

Qin Youming was also starting to dislike this person, but out of respect for seniority and kinship, he didn't say anything harsh. "If you want to do this, go home and get some rice!"

Luo got angry. "What's wrong with you? You just promised to give us rice to work on, and now you're telling us to go back and get it! Are you going to give it to us or not? You've already practiced, so give us the opportunity. Young people should know how to be courteous!"

Qin Youming was also furious, "I gave you the opportunity to operate, I didn't say I would give you the money, what are you thinking! Why didn't you give me the money to operate!"

After saying that, he sped up and ignored the two men.

Mrs. Luo was also furious. How could she speak like that? What kind of attitude was that? She had no manners at all!

Having caught up with them at the Mo family's residence, Luo, panting, began to complain to Qin.

Zhao, who was eating fruit, almost choked to death when she heard Luo's complaint!

This person is so shameless in their greed for cheap deals, it's unbelievable!

Qin calmly replied, "Whoever brings the rice can do the work; if there's no rice, just watch."

Luo said, "He already did it yesterday, let us do it today."

Qin had no objection. "Okay, no problem. Go and prepare, we'll start in a bit."

Then he pulled Qin Youming aside and gave him some fruit to eat.

The two women, Luo and Zhao, were unsure what to prepare and assumed that Zhao had already done everything, so they stood and waited.

After Qin finished eating a piece of fruit, she said to Luo, "Let's get ready and begin! Time waits for no one."

Luo shouted at Zhao, "Hurry up and come here! What are you dawdling over there for? It's about to start. Where are the things you prepared? Take them out!"

Zhao looked at Luo, then at Qin, and understood what was going on. She was so angry she almost laughed.

"I'm not trying to be mean, sister-in-law, but did you come here to learn something? You don't even know what you need to prepare? Are you expecting me to prepare it for you? You can wait a bit, I'll do it for you."

Luo felt that Zhao was mocking her, and became furious. "You're the younger sister-in-law. If you don't help with the preparations in your own home, how can you expect me, the elder sister-in-law, to do them?"

Zhao pursed her lips. "That makes perfect sense. You're here to learn, not to visit relatives. Stop with the nonsense. We're busy. If you don't want to learn, then let A-Ming come."

Luo asked Qin Youming to bring her rice to work with first, but Qin got angry, saying, "Why should you get A-Ming's rice? You make it sound like it's your due!"

Luo took it all for granted, saying, "He already did it yesterday!"

Even Qin, who was usually mild-mannered, got angry. "We said we'd operate for two days! We operated yesterday, and we'll operate again today."

Luo argued her case logically, which immediately caused a commotion in the Mo family.

When Su Nanxi and her group returned, the rice noodles hadn't even started being made yet, and they saw the group sitting on opposite sides, each looking sullen.

After understanding the situation, Su Nanxi burst into laughter, laughing so hard that her stomach ached, but she couldn't stop.

Mo Qinghe squeezed her hand, "Take it easy, or your stomach will hurt!"

The other members of the Mo family looked grim, not because of Su Nanxi, but because of the Luo family.

"Amin, let's begin! Let's see who dares to steal your rice!"
