Mo Qingcheng smiled and shook her head: "Grandpa clan leaders, it's just a small favor..."
"Mo girl, speak!" Li Fuze and Li Yunqing exchanged a glance, ready to face any danger at any moment.
Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated. "Really, it's not necessary. Why doesn't anyone believe me?"
The two elder clan leaders stared wide-eyed at Mo Qingcheng's request, their eyes filled with disbelief. "That's it?"
Li Changgeng stood there stunned, giving Mo Niangzi a thumbs up. Improving the tools was of utmost urgency. He'd change Old Master Cheng's identity, give him a special makeover, and then find a way to contact the Imperial Inspector or Baili later…
Mo Qingcheng smiled without saying a word. How could the clan leader be so adorable?
The matter was quickly settled. Mo Qingcheng spoke a few more words with Old Man Bai, gave Li Changgeng a meaningful look, and then returned home with Shangguan Yichen.
Bai Yueniang is frantically looking for work to do; she can't stay idle. If she does, she starts overthinking things, worrying that even her little darling is being teased…
Mo Qingcheng attended one arithmetic class and one pinyin class, while Bai Yifan, along with his father, and Li Changgeng, along with their two grandsons, came to audit the classes.
Bai Yifan, in particular, had a look of amazement in his eyes. His mind was racing. He thought his godfather was the most powerful, but he didn't expect Yue'er's god-sister to be even more powerful.
In class, Mo Qingcheng transformed into a strict teacher. Mu Wanqing was caught off guard and was severely punished. The other children dared not be distracted again. Throughout the two lessons, the children learned by analogy and gained a lot.
In the next lesson, Old Man Bai personally taught classical Chinese texts, but neither Mo Qingcheng nor Bai Yueniang listened to the lesson; they were both busy cooking.
"Moon, I'm planning to hire two people to cook for us, or find some honest people in the village to cook for us." Mo Qingcheng straightened her back. "I need to make money, make money, make money."
Bai Yueniang chuckled: "Sister Mo, these are mine..."
"Stop. You can be delayed, but Ying-jie and Tong-jie can't. The children need to find good husbands when they grow up. They can't just stay around the stove all day." Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes and continued to brainwash them.
Bai Yueniang was taken aback: "But... Sister Mo, our family..." She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart about being treated like a freeloader...
"Moon, I plan to train you to help me manage the household. I'll only be responsible for farming and other money-making activities. As long as you're willing to work hard, I'll have made a profit..."
Bai Yueniang looked up and met his gentle yet cunning gaze, trembling all over: "Sister Mo, I promise you, if you were a man, I would marry you..."
"Pfft...cough cough..." Mo Qingcheng almost coughed up her own saliva: "Little girl, what are you thinking? I'm a man, I want three wives and four concubines..."
"No, there can only be one of us!" Bai Yueniang blushed, glared angrily at Mo Qingcheng, and then chuckled.
Mo Qingcheng was speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Yue'er had such a cute side?
While the two were busy, they finalized the matter of finding someone to cook. They would make breakfast themselves and keep it simple, while they would find someone to cook lunch and dinner. They would first ask the villagers, but if no one was willing to come, they would go to the brokerage to buy two clever young girls.
At first, Mo Qingcheng felt that buying people was a terrible sin, but now her mindset has gradually changed. If you don't buy, someone else will, so why not pick a few back? Perhaps you'll suffer less and it would be a good deed.
Shangguan Yichen became increasingly silent. Apart from when Mo Qingcheng asked him to go out, he was either studying or practicing martial arts. The young boy's icy face was actually quite intimidating, and the three one-eyed brothers became increasingly afraid to speak to him.
Around dinner time, Baili Fengyun, who had been missing for several days, rushed back, looking travel-worn: "Master, I'm starving! Quickly, prepare a delicious meal..."
