They soon arrived at the oil mill entrance. Mo Yuan first went to check on his elder brother's stall, which was still bustling with activity. Although they were missing a dog, with his elder brother, sister-in-law, second sister, and Li Xiaohong and her daughter helping out, they were managing to keep up, though they were still incredibly busy.
Upon seeing Mo Yuan arrive, his second sister, Hongxia, began to nag incessantly, complaining that Mo Yuan had called the dog away, significantly increasing her workload. Mo Yuan, not daring to offend his sister, repeatedly apologized and quickly ran to the side to ask Li Xiaohong and Aunt Wang what was going on.
Seeing that they had adapted to their current jobs and seemed quite satisfied, he felt relieved. He was grateful for the clues provided by Li Xiaohong in eliminating the Mo Yougan family; otherwise, Li Jianguo wouldn't have been able to so easily resolve this series of troubles under his guidance.
She had promised to find them jobs, as the two sisters had lost their source of income after losing their temporary work at the oil mill, and life was tough. Adding to their hardship, Li Xiaohong's recent bed rest had depleted their savings, leaving them destitute. Eventually, Aunt Wang had to find other work to supplement their income. And now...
This was arguably the best situation the mother and daughter could hope for. After all, the two of them earned a considerable amount of money. They had long since emerged from the shadows of the past, and upon seeing Mo Yuan, they were filled with endless gratitude. After listening to Aunt Wang hold his hand and reminisce about the past, pouring out her grievances for a long time, Mo Yuan finally left as if fleeing in panic.
Upon arriving at his elder brother and sister-in-law's place, Mo Yuan, having witnessed their previous two encounters, expected another round of complaints. However, he was unexpectedly greeted with a warm welcome. His sister-in-law even kindly asked if he had eaten and if he wanted something to eat at the stall.
Mo Yuan felt a little guilty, so without saying a word, he transferred Gouzi away, increasing everyone's workload. However, his sister-in-law showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
Mo Yuan suggested to his sister-in-law that if things really didn't work out, they could hire two more people, which wouldn't be too much trouble. His sister-in-law, Chen Qiaoyun, didn't say anything, but simply said that things were manageable for now, and if they were really too busy, she would have her younger brother come and help.
"Alright then!" Mo Yuan nodded. Anyway, this matter didn't concern him much, as long as his sister-in-law thought it was fine.
"By the way, Xiaoyuan, your older brother and I have been discussing getting some furniture for the house. When the new house is finished, we'll need some furniture too. We country folk don't know anything about these things, but Lin Xuecheng is from the city and has seen a lot. You should ask her for her opinions," the sister-in-law said with a smile.
"Alright, don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm quite good at this. I'll discuss it with Lin Xue, draw up some blueprints, and have the village carpenters make them. They'll definitely be the most fashionable styles!" Mo Yuan readily agreed. He was secretly delighted, finally finding an opportunity to make money. Moreover, this job would be a piece of cake for him, after all, he had studied design and had unique insights into furniture design.
Hearing Mo Yuan's words, the eldest sister-in-law's face lit up with a joyful smile. She had only mentioned it casually, but she hadn't expected Mo Yuan to take it so seriously and even offer to help with the design. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Yuan, you're so capable! Our family really owes a debt to you!"
Mo Yuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. We're all family! I certainly won't refuse to help if there's anything I can do."
Just then, the older brother next to him suddenly interjected, "By the way, Xiao Yuan, what are you holding in your hand? Are you going to the county town?"
Mo Yuan nodded and replied, "Yes, I bought some things. I need to ask someone at the oil factory to do something for me, so I couldn't go empty-handed."
He didn't explain much, after all, they wouldn't understand, and the matter was still far from settled, so he felt there was no need to worry his family.
The older brother looked at the gift in Mo Yuan's hand, nodded, and said nothing. He knew Mo Yuan had always been very clever and good at handling interpersonal relationships. This trip to the oil mill must have been carefully considered.
After finishing his sentence, Mo Yuan turned and walked towards the oil mill. He was in a good mood along the way; with so much equipment in the mill, there must be someone who knew how to repair it, so this matter shouldn't be too difficult. Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the oil mill.
Upon entering the oil depot, Mo Yuan began searching everywhere for Pang Yun, but to no avail. He then decided to inquire with the depot staff. After some questioning, someone kindly led him to the security office.
When he entered the security department, the scene before him surprised him. In such a short time, Pang Yun had replaced Yang Guozhong as the previous head of the security department. This change filled Mo Yuan with emotion. Although he had heard rumors, seeing it with his own eyes was still quite shocking, and he also realized that his uncle's influence must have played a role.
After all, without his uncle's help, Pang Yun couldn't have risen to this position so quickly. However, despite his doubts and dissatisfaction, Mo Yuan chose to remain silent and refused to comment on the matter.
Pang Yun was idly sprawled on the table when he suddenly saw Mo Yuan walk in, and his face immediately lit up with a delighted smile. He enthusiastically pulled Mo Yuan along, eager to take him outside for a seat, muttering, "Oh, what brings you here? Come on, come on, we haven't seen each other in ages, let's go outside, it's so boring here!" Mo Yuan quickly waved his hand at Pang Yun's invitation, saying he had other things to attend to. He politely greeted Pang Yun and briefly explained his purpose.
However, when Pang Yun heard Mo Yuan's request and saw what Mo Yuan was holding, which was clearly not for him, his face instantly turned gloomy.
He had a long face and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hmph, so you want something from me. You only know how to give my uncle benefits, but what about me? Don't I need anything too?"
Hearing this, Mo Yuan sighed inwardly. As expected, this guy was the type to not act until he saw the benefit, and he wasn't someone who was so easy to deal with.
However, he had already prepared for this. He took a small jar out of his bag and handed it to Pang Yun, saying with a smile, "Hehe, of course I wouldn't forget you. Look, what's this?"
Pang Yun took the jar, opened it, and found that it contained some food that looked delicious.
The aroma of the food was irresistible, making his mouth water.
For a foodie like Pang Yun, this was undoubtedly an irresistible temptation. His eyes widened, revealing a look of surprise, which then spread to a wide smile.
"Quick, quick, what is this? It looks delicious!"
