Despite seeing everyone so enthusiastically gathering around him, Mo Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, a deep sense of comfort welling up within him. Especially when he caught a glimpse of his father, Mo Youshan, with his radiant face and beaming smile, he was filled with countless emotions.
Once upon a time, Mo Yuan was a complete troublemaker, always causing mischief and trouble, and was notorious in the area.
At that time, he completely disregarded his family's feelings, acted recklessly, and brought endless trouble and problems to his family.
Whenever he thought of these things, Mo Youshan would sigh inwardly, feeling inferior in front of others. You see, Mo Youshan had lived a life of integrity and uprightness, never having done anything wrong.
But who could have predicted that in his old age, he would be talked about behind his back because of this youngest son, and would even find it difficult to lift his head?
He had argued with his wife, Yu Xiu'e, countless times about this, blaming her for spoiling their youngest son too much, allowing him to become so unruly. After all, all the other children in the Mo family were of good character, except for Mo Yuan.
However, since Mo Yuan got married, the situation has changed dramatically. He seemed to have been reborn, becoming mature and stable. Not only did he stop acting recklessly, but he also displayed extraordinary talent and ability. At first, Mo Youshan thought it was thanks to his daughter-in-law, Lin Xue, that her gentleness and virtue had influenced Mo Yuan. But as time went on, he gradually realized that Mo Yuan himself had indeed undergone a fundamental change.
Now, seeing Mo Yuan becoming more and more successful and his status in the village rising day by day, even people from all over the village are coming to him with gifts to ask him for help.
Faced with this scene, Mo Youshan was naturally very gratified, and the pride he felt as a father was almost overflowing.
However, he maintained his usual humble attitude and smiled as he said to everyone, "Fellow villagers, you're too kind. Please take your gifts back! We're all neighbors, how can I accept your gifts?"
Mo Yuan stepped out from the crowd with a smile, his hearty laughter echoing in the air: "Yes, all of you uncles and aunts are my elders, and we live in the same village, so we see each other all the time. If you need any help, just ask, and I, Mo Yuan, will certainly not refuse if it is within my power. However, why are you all being so polite, bringing all these things with you? This is absolutely unacceptable! Take them all back later! Otherwise, I'll really get angry!"
Upon hearing Mo Yuan's words, the others echoed his sentiments, praising him for having learned Mo Youshan's fine character, being upright, kind, and helpful.
These compliments made Mo Youshan overjoyed, and even his beard seemed to stand on end with delight. However, despite everyone's verbal agreement, not a single person moved to retrieve the things they had brought.
After all, there are certain rules to follow when asking someone for a favor; no one goes to ask for help empty-handed.
Seeing that Mo Yuan and Mo Youshan were in high spirits, the villagers exchanged glances and, after some discussion, finally elected a usually eloquent person as their representative to explain their true intentions for coming.
The representative took a deep breath, composed himself, took a small step forward, cleared his throat, and then slowly began to speak: "We have come to visit you today with these small gifts for two reasons. First, to apologize to you, Mo Yuan, for what happened a few days ago. Second, we hope that you, Mo Yuan, can be magnanimous and allow us to continue growing mushrooms together."
In fact, Mo Yuan had already reached a conclusion about this matter, so there wouldn't be any problems. However, with so many villagers gathered here now, he felt it would be more appropriate to explain the reasons and details clearly.
Mo Yuan then began to recount his story in detail.
They explained some of the prospects and risks of mushroom cultivation. It's important to know that despite the current high price of mushrooms, it's only because there are currently only three such companies cultivating them.
This situation clearly demonstrates a supply shortage, which is why prices remain high. However, as time goes on, if the number of people involved in cultivation gradually increases, the price of mushrooms will inevitably not be able to remain at such a high level indefinitely.
Furthermore, entering this field requires a certain amount of capital investment. If you genuinely hope to profit from it, you must be prepared for the possibility of losses.
After listening, everyone nodded in agreement with what Mo Yuan said.
Then, Mo Yuan added, "Everyone should think about this carefully when you get back! If anyone is really determined to take the risk of trying to grow mushrooms, don't come looking for me anymore. I might not be home for a while and won't be able to teach you. You can go directly to my older sister's, Gouzi's, or Chunsheng's house and ask them to teach you the relevant planting techniques! Anyway, they've all learned it, so it's no different from what I've learned!"
Actually, the reason Mo Yuan said this was simply to filter the crowd through his words.
Even if more and more people grow mushrooms in the future, causing market prices to drop, the scale of cultivation will also expand, which will make things more stable and ultimately profitable.
Upon hearing that Mo Yuan had agreed, the group was overjoyed. In their eyes, as long as Mo Yuan nodded, the remaining problems would no longer be insurmountable troubles!
After some time, I'll look back and carefully consider which teacher would be the most suitable for me to learn from.
And so, the group bid farewell to Mo Yuan's home with great joy. Before leaving, no matter how much they were persuaded, they absolutely refused to take the gifts they had brought back with them.
