The original owner's father was very clever. He told his daughter that silver notes were light and easy to store, and could be taken out only when things got really tough.
The rest were furniture, all made by carpenters in the village, and some medical books, which were passed down in their family, though the original owner's father was only a dabbler and had only learned a little bit about them.
The old lady's lips twitched when she saw the dowry list. "You only have so little stuff, and it's even worth making a dowry list?"
Mo Yan looked coldly at the old lady and spoke indifferently.
"Of course, we have to get it even if it's just a single wooden bucket. This dowry list has been filed with the government."
"My dowry is my own property; it's not something your family can just decide to give me."
Grandma Yang: "..."
"Alright, alright, take it with you, just take your things."
She didn't care about Mo Yan's things, she didn't care at all!
"Don't worry, I will definitely take it with me, but you have to pay compensation, otherwise I will go to the government."
village head:"……"
The village chief finally understood; Mo Yan wanted him to stand up for her.
"Alright, alright, Erbao's mom, stop saying anything. Just hurry up and make compensation. They didn't ask for much more."
If you don't agree, your whole family can get out of here. I don't want to say another word to you.
Grandma Yang: "..."
"Bad luck, give it to them!" Old Mrs. Yang knew very well that the village chief had a lot of power, and if he were to cause trouble for their family in the future, they would be finished.
The village chief has too many things he can use to trip up their family.
Old Mrs. Yang reluctantly took out two qian of silver. "That's all the silver I have. I'll give you the chicken and eggs later."
Mo Yan waved her hand dismissively, "No need, I'll catch it myself."
The original owner often did chores, so he went next door to catch an old hen and went to the kitchen to get a basket to collect eggs.
The eldest sister-in-law spoke up after seeing Mo Yan approach. "Sister-in-law, it's not a holiday, why are you catching chickens? Mother will definitely scold you when she gets back."
They were frowning as if they genuinely cared about Mo Yan, but honestly, what were they pretending for? How could they not have heard what happened just now, living right next to a wall? Besides, with such a commotion, how could that family not have been eavesdropping at the door?
Mo Yan looked at her with a half-smile and spoke.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything. This is compensation from the old lady to my daughter. It's compensation from your daughter, Guabao, for wrongly accusing my daughter of pushing her."
Since you're here, I need to talk to you about this. What's wrong with your daughter? How could she be so bad? She actually accused my daughter of pushing her.
All this time, what kind of personality has your daughter had? Everyone can see what kind of personality my daughter has. Besides, the old lady treats your daughter like her own eyes. Would my daughter dare to do anything to my daughter?
My daughter was dragged into this mess by your daughter, and she's still unconscious. What are we going to do?
The sister-in-law was filled with regret. She should have known better than to come out. Now look what happened, she'd been confronted directly.
This sister-in-law is very clever. She knows that her mother-in-law likes her daughter, so she tries to get her daughter to be close to the old lady. She says she wants to take care of her daughter and doesn't do any farm work. She's also good at talking; her mouth is like honey. Unlike the original owner, who only knows how to work but not how to talk and is easily tricked into revealing information!
The sister-in-law was speechless. She should have known better than to speak up.
“Sister-in-law, my darling didn’t say that. She just woke up and is still a bit groggy. Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding. We’re all family, let’s talk things out. There’s no need to make such a fuss…”
The sister-in-law didn't say anything more.
"Heh... Sorry, I'm not family with you anymore. If you don't speak up, I won't do anything to you, but if you try to act tough in front of me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Sister-in-law: "..."
"Before you talk to me, think about how many punches I can land on your tiny frame!"
When Mo Yan said this, she gave her small frame a disdainful look.
Sister-in-law: "..."
The eldest sister-in-law looked constipated, her face dark, and she couldn't utter a single word.
After going outside, Mo Yan looked at the old lady. As she passed by her, the old lady spoke.
"Since you're no longer part of our family, get out of here now! I don't want to see you in my house again!"
The old lady was furious. This Mo Yan was far too arrogant, and she was powerless to do anything about it. She didn't know what benefits Mo Yan had given these people to allow them to frame her precious child.
As soon as Old Mrs. Yang spoke, Yang the Second looked at Mo Yan with difficulty, "Mo Yan, just apologize to your mother. The sun is about to set, where are you going with the child? You have so much stuff..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mo Yan turned to the villagers and said, "Village chief, and everyone in the village, could you please help us move today? Three copper coins per person would be fine."
Mo Yan wasn't a stingy person, and besides, they sometimes bought herbs from her, and had even received favors from her father in the past. So everyone chimed in, "Mo Yan, what are you saying? We're all from the same village, helping each other is only right, how can you bring up money?"
Besides, you've helped us a lot before. It's just moving, no big deal.
Mo Yan took the two children back to pack their things, including their clothes.
Seeing this, the old lady felt even more uncomfortable and immediately wanted to go inside. "No, I have to go in and watch them, to see if they've taken anything from my house."
