Chapter 66 They'll be sold right now.

A man rushed out of the sheepfold, and several people chased after him to stop him. They pulled the basket off the man's back, but he clung tightly to the basket straps.

You read that right, it's Mo Yunmei causing trouble again.

Mo Yunmei clung to the ribbon, refusing to let go, and argued righteously, "Mom! I want these two! There are plenty more inside, why won't you give them to me! You used to love me so much, you would give me whatever I wanted! Please give me what I want now!"

Grandma Mo gripped her basket and spat, "I've wasted my time raising you! Even a piece of barbecued pork would be better than you! You traitor! And you promised me! Who caught these rabbits? Did you even ask them? You think you can just catch them and run? Are you a thief? You worthless bastard!"

Mo Yunmei never felt she had done anything wrong. "It's just two rabbits. Does it matter who catches them? Once they're caught, they belong to everyone, including me. So I should just have my two. Why can't I have them?"

Zhao's temper was about to explode, and she roared, "Who are you planning to give it to this time?"

Mo Yunmei raised her head and said very proudly, "Sister Qiuxia is getting engaged. She said that sisters should give each other gifts. She likes rabbits, so I'll give her a rabbit."

The others were furious. In such a short time, they had already set their sights on their rabbits again!

Without saying a word, Qin simply took the rabbit out of the basket.

Mo Yunmei refused to accept this, squealing and throwing away her basket. She lunged forward to snatch the rabbit back, demanding that Qin Shi return it to her.

The others stopped her, dragged her to an open space in the yard, threw her down, and stood there with their hands on their hips watching her have a fit.

Grandma Mo made a quick decision, instructing the two brothers to prepare the rabbits and telling Grandpa Mo to immediately borrow an oxcart to take all the rabbits to sell.

Mo Yunmei was dragged into the house and locked up by Old Lady Mo, and no one paid any attention to her shouts from inside.

Su Nanxi's mouth twitched as she watched; he must have a screw loose in his head!

I couldn't help but think deeply.

The Mo family has this burden, always jumping around, like a stubborn plaster that can't be removed. In the future, it will not only make the Mo family a laughing stock, but it may also undermine everyone's efforts and ruin everything.

This kind of person is mentally deficient and blindly trusts others; if things continue like this, they might become a menace!

Mo Qinghe squeezed Su Nanxi's hand, seemingly knowing what she was thinking, and said calmly, "She can only keep jumping around for a while longer, and eventually she will return to where she belongs. Honey, don't worry, just treat it as a joke, and don't get angry. It's not worth getting yourself upset! Understand?"

Su Nanxi thought he meant that Mo Yunmei would soon come of age and get married, and with her husband's family taking care of her, she wouldn't bother anyone anymore.

Thinking about it, Su Nanxi was too lazy to worry about it anymore.

Old Mo actually borrowed an oxcart and came back. A group of people hurriedly put the rabbits into cages and onto the oxcart. They kept two chickens at home, and loaded the rest onto the oxcart as well.

The two brothers put on straw hats, took two bamboo tubes of water, got on the oxcart, and left.

Ha! What a joke!

The children suddenly lost their smiles and looked disappointed. It's clear they really liked the rabbit and didn't want to sell it so soon.

Grandma Mo glanced at the pigpen, worried. If Mo Yunmei had caught those two piglets, they would probably be long gone by now.

We should build a new house sooner rather than later, and then reserve a place to raise poultry. With a door and a lock, let's see who can steal from us!

Old Mo thought the same thing. He sighed and said, "I couldn't find the village chief before. I'll go and ask him again this afternoon. I'll find him no matter where he is and ask him for the answer."

Grandma Mo also sighed heavily and muttered, "They can't be tamed after all!"

Qin Shi was unaware of the house-building project and was completely confused. "Father, Mother, what are you talking about?"

"Ah!" Grandma Mo suddenly realized, "I forgot to tell you, we're planning to buy a piece of land to build a new house because the old house here is too small, and it's too crowded with so many people. The children are all grown up and it's time for them to sleep in their own rooms. We thought we might as well buy a bigger piece of land and start over. Your father went to ask the village chief but couldn't find any, so he's planning to go ask again to see if there's any suitable land for sale."

The Qin and Zhao families were stunned. They were going to build a new house?!

They were so happy they wanted to jump up and shout, but they could only chuckle because of their image.

Old Mo also felt a little apologetic, "Let's discuss this properly later. Since we've thought of it, let's come up with something good."

Yes, yes!

They'll need to make a lot more money!

Su Nanxi, who was watching from the side, suddenly had an idea and pulled Mo Qinghe's hand to make some gestures.

A short while later, Mo Qinghe called them over. "Father, Mother, the mute mother said that we can make more breakfast dishes. She can teach everyone how to make them this afternoon. However, we don't have enough stoves at home, and it will take too long. Why don't we build a stove next to it specifically for making breakfast? That way, it will be much faster."

Upon hearing this, the group beamed with joy, thinking they had misheard. They asked again, and when they learned it was true, they were overjoyed.

Grandma Mo patted Grandpa Mo on the shoulder and said, "It's just building a stove, it won't take much effort. Isn't there someone ready to help? Your father is very good at building things, so it's not a problem."

Zhao agreed, "That's right, with Father's help, nothing is a problem!"

Mo Qinghe spoke again, "We need to add more steamers. I've woven some, but I still need more."

"It's alright, it's alright. When the eldest and second eldest sons come back, we'll ask them to help us weave it together." Old Mrs. Mo made the decision immediately.

Ms. Qin said, "Our breakfast is very popular; we can't keep up with demand. Others try to imitate us, but they can't make it as good as ours. Customers who have tried it say it's not flavorful enough, but with so many imitators, some have actually managed to make it quite similar to ours. If we introduced a few new items, we could have even more customers and earn even more money!"

Zhao also said, "Yes! Everyone's copying us because they see there's money to be made. I also think we should build a new stove so we can be much faster and make more breakfast in the same amount of time!"

Since no one has any objections, then it's settled.

The two Mo brothers were very lucky. The male head of the household was going to host a feast for the brothers and needed to find wild game. As soon as the two arrived, the game was immediately taken by the family.

The two rushed back as soon as they got the money, and the sun was so strong that they were almost two shades darker.

Upon returning home, he immediately went inside and gave all the money to Old Lady Mo before coming out to wash his hands and face and get some water.

In the afternoon, the Mo family members got busy, each with their own tasks.

Su Nanxi didn't have time to water the vegetables, so Mo Jiaxing took his younger siblings to the fields to water them after school.

They didn't need adults to call them; as soon as they saw that their aunt was busy, they would go and help out on their own.

Su Nanxi was indeed overwhelmed; she had to teach Qin and Zhao how to make new breakfast dishes.

"Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo, what are you doing?"
