“The Liu family…” Bai Yueniang took a deep breath: “Sister Mo, the news was brought by Ma Zi…”
Mo Qingcheng frowned slightly: "Don't be afraid, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."
Bai Yueniang felt a little relieved; Sister Mo was so powerful.
Shangguan Yunxi, Mu Wanqing, Xuanyuan Ying, Xuanyuan Tong, and Bai Yueniang busied themselves preparing the meal.
Mo Qingcheng and Shangguan Yichen were sent to rest, but the young boy was preoccupied with practicing swordsmanship. He tossed and turned, becoming more and more restless, and went straight up the mountain.
Mo Qingcheng rested for half an hour and then personally cooked a twice-cooked pork dish. Bai Zimo squatted by the stove, reciting the multiplication table while staring intently at the meat in the pot, which made everyone laugh.
Bai Ziming curled his lip: "If you're so capable, then don't eat it."
Everyone: "..."
You really don't understand what a brat is thinking.
The meal was ready, but Liu San and the others hadn't finished work yet. Mo Qingcheng took Mu Yunchuan to call for help, and they ran into Li Tiezhu on the way.
"Lady Mo, where did you find these day laborers? They're working like their lives depend on it..." Li Tiezhu tsk tsk, filled with envy. There were only him and his mother at home. His mother was too old to do heavy work, so clearing the land was his responsibility alone.
Look at how Mo Niangzi's family suddenly gained three burly guards overnight, and also hired ten honest laborers. Although they ate a bit more, they were strong and hardworking.
Third Grandma took a stroll around in the afternoon, her eyes practically glued to Mo Qingcheng's terraced fields. At this rate, they'd be planting at least several hundred acres by then...
"Big brother, call the uncles to do some crafts!" Mo Qingcheng arrived at the foot of the mountain, caught sight of the little boy's busy figure, and called out to him from afar.
Shangguan Yichen stiffened and said something. Soon after, Liu San and the others came down the mountain carrying hoes and greeted Mo Qingcheng one by one.
Mo Qingcheng wasn't one to stand on ceremony. She vaguely saw figures moving in the distance: "Boss, are they from the village chief's family?"
"Hmm." Shangguan Yichen glanced back indifferently, not wanting to say anything more. Would his mother want to meddle in his affairs?
Unexpectedly, Mo Qingcheng paused, turned around, took Mu Yunchuan's hand, and walked home, lost in thought...
"That's really strange," Shangguan Yichen thought, a smile playing on his lips.
Liu San and the others placed the hoes at the home of Li Ergou and his two brothers, their eyes widening in surprise. The bamboo shed next to them had been built specifically for them.
"Brother, we'll tidy it up a bit tomorrow. It'll just be a simple bamboo hut..." Liu Ergou scratched his head sheepishly. These people were all day laborers hired by the madam. If they were treated well, they would work harder.
The brothers didn't quite understand grand principles, but they saw these things and kept them in mind.
Liu San and the others took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Thanks, brothers!"
"Ergou, back then...didn't you hate Madam?"
The one asking the question was Li Si from Lijia Village, Yutang Town, also known as Li Xiaojian. He was a nice guy, but he had a sharp tongue. Hearing about the feud between Liu Ergou and his brothers and Mo Qingcheng, he couldn't help but start talking nonsense again.
"What nonsense are you spouting? It was Madam who showed mercy and spared our worthless lives. It was a life-or-death pact back then. I don't care about anyone else; as long as I, Li Ergou, live, I will serve Madam faithfully!"
Li Ergou glanced at Li Si with the look of someone looking at an idiot, "Believe it or not, if you keep talking nonsense, Brother Long will beat you up?"
Li Si: "..."
He gave an awkward smile. "It's just curiosity, isn't it? What's wrong with that?"
"Little Si, shut up!"
