In addition, I found some things in my father's cabinet these past two days and sent them to the county magistrate. They were some farm tools that would be much more convenient to use. The county magistrate even made them for me and rewarded me with silver.
"That covers the tuition fees for my two children."
Mo Yan felt that it would be best to say this to Sister Guihua, as she would be able to convey it accurately.
"Really? Your dad is amazing! He used to be the most respected person in our village. Why didn't you learn some medicine? That would have made it easier for us to see a doctor in the future."
Mo Yan said helplessly, "Actually, even if I learned it, you wouldn't believe me."
"That's true. Okay, I'll head back now and bring you some beans later."
Mo Yan sprouted some of the beans and used the rest to make tofu.
Before the paper is made, we need to do something else, like sending the children out to earn some pocket money.
After Mo Yan made it, the tofu looked white and tender, and Xiao Cao was stunned.
Mo Yan asked Xiao Cao to deliver a piece of tofu to Gui Hua, and then she delivered it to several other families, eating the rest herself.
Everyone looked at this and didn't know how to eat it. After asking, they found out that it could be eaten cold, fried, boiled, or cooked in any way. They tasted it and found it very delicious, so they all came over to exchange for some.
Mo Yan didn't hide anything and said it was beans, which could be exchanged for her, or she could use copper coins, one copper coin for three pieces of tofu.
Everyone uses beans, but beans are worthless. One copper coin can be exchanged for three eggs, so it's not worth it.
Mo Yan didn't care; she was just doing it for fun, and she could change it if she could.
The next day, Mo Yan did a lot of work, taking her daughter to sell tofu. Many people in the county bought it, and everyone liked it.
After the mother and daughter earned some money, they took the prescription to the county magistrate. Because of the previous incident involving farm tools, the magistrate was very pleased and wanted to see Mo Yan in person this time.
Upon meeting, Mo Yan was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't the county magistrate supposed to be in his forties or fifties?
How come you're a grown man now?
"You're the county magistrate? Wasn't it said that the county magistrate is fifty years old this year?"
The county magistrate said somewhat helplessly, "That was Magistrate Wang, who was just transferred. I'm new here. You must be Sister Mo Yan. I heard that you were the one who delivered the farm tools last time. What are you delivering this time?"
The magistrate's eyes were shining when he looked at Mo Yan; these were all achievements.
"I'll give you... I'll give you... some blueprints for mechanisms, and some ceramics, but I have no use for them."
Mo Yan had thought it over. This county magistrate was quite good. These things were of little use to her, so giving them to the county magistrate would make the best use of them.
It can also improve the weaponry level of our dynasty, and most importantly, it can make us more familiar with the country so that we can have an easier life in the future.
At least I'll have someone to rely on if anything happens in the future.
The original owner intended to live out his days and die in this place, so there was no need for him to leave.
"Okay, okay, let me see if it's alright."
Mo Yan gave him all the blueprints, and the magistrate quickly ordered them to be made.
Meanwhile, the county magistrate wanted to ask Mo Yan a question. "Elder sister, I heard you and your father have traveled to many places?"
“That’s right, we’ve traveled all over the entire Nanyue region.”
It started when I was very young. My father took me all over the mountains and rivers so that I would remember the landscapes of our country.
That's why my dad knows a lot of things, and they're a bit eclectic.
These blueprints aren't something I wouldn't find if I went back to my parents' house and cleaned the room.
These things almost never saw the light of day again.
I think my father also wanted me to hand these over.
"Thank you, ma'am. What is your father's name?"
If he hadn't been born too late and the other person hadn't died too early, he would have wanted to meet them in person.
"Nameless stranger".
Mo Yan doesn't actually know her father's real name, nor does she need to know; this is fine as it is.
The magistrate said, "Hmm, a good name." However, no one knew who this name belonged to.
But that doesn't matter anymore; these things are very important.
"Although I voluntarily provided these blueprints, sir, you should still give me some compensation for my trouble, right? It's not easy for a woman like me to raise several children."
The magistrate assured him, "Don't worry, there's no problem!"
On the way back, he still had the officials with him and returned the silver. In front of everyone, he said that Mo Yan's family had done a good job by providing farm tool blueprints, and that everyone should thank Mo Yan in the future.
When the old lady heard about it, she was almost furious.
What on earth happened? How come they became successful after being kicked out? This doesn't make sense!
Those reward money should all belong to their family, the old lady was furious.
Adding to her woes, her secret stash of money was gone, and her eldest son was behaving like a madman. She couldn't take it anymore and rushed to the village entrance, yelling at Mo Yan in front of the officials.
"Those are our family's things, they should all be our family's reward, Mo Yan, you took our family's blueprints!"
In the old lady's heart, everything belonged to their family; it was Mo Yan who had hidden it away.
Besides, Mo Yan already married into the family before, so why not bring it out? That shows they have ulterior motives.
"Grandma, you're really shameless to say that, aren't you? Then tell me, what are those blueprints? What do they look like? Can you even understand them?"
Why would you have something like this in your house?
Mo Yan didn't stand on ceremony with the old lady. Since the old lady was shameless, why should she cover for her?
The old lady was speechless after hearing this; she had no idea.
"I don't know, because you took our things away, so of course I didn't know."
