Just as Mo Yuan and his family were enjoying themselves, someone knocked on the door. When Mo Yuan went out to see what was happening, he found that his third grandfather had come to visit.
"Mo Yuan! Here's the thing, a family in our village is getting their daughter married! I heard the groom's family is quite well-off! This girl from our village is a sensible child; she hasn't asked for much in terms of dowry. She just hopes her in-laws can make a brand new set of furniture. And, the style and design of this furniture are almost the same as the ones I made for you before!"
In the past, with my old skills, I wouldn't have found it difficult at all. But the key point is that you provided me with the blueprints for these new furniture pieces, so it's all thanks to your craftsmanship! That's why I came to see you today to ask what your thoughts are on this matter.
"If you're willing for me to take on this job, that would be wonderful! I can give you a small commission as payment. After all, without your ingenious blueprints, this job would be quite difficult. But if it's really inconvenient for you or you're unwilling to take on this job, then I won't force you; we'll have to make other plans!" Grandpa San said, looking at Mo Yuan expectantly, awaiting his reply.
It turned out that ever since Mo Yuan bought new furniture for his new house, everyone in the village had seen the exquisite, beautiful, and practical pieces. They all inquired and learned that these outstanding works were all made by the experienced carpenter, Third Grandfather. Just then, someone in the village was about to get married and wanted to have the same furniture as Mo Yuan's to add to the festive atmosphere. So, they went to Third Grandfather's house.
However, the old man still had a slight reservation. After all, strictly speaking, the reason these pieces of furniture were so exquisitely crafted and unique was entirely due to the detailed blueprints provided by Mo Yuan. If he were to agree to make the same furniture for someone else, he would first have to obtain Mo Yuan's consent.
After learning the whole story, Mo Yuan was very magnanimous and didn't care at all.
With a smile on his face and sincerity and kindness in his eyes, he slowly said to his third grandfather, "Dear third grandfather, please don't worry! Just go for it! It's a great thing that more and more people can use those beautiful and comfortable furniture!"
Do you remember the beginning? I told you then that once you finished making these furniture pieces for me, other people would definitely come seeking your help! And look, it's come true! At this rate, you and all those land deities will be incredibly busy! Just you wait and see, this is only the beginning!
Once everyone witnesses your exquisite and ingenious craftsmanship, word of mouth will surely attract even more people to seek your help! At that time, you'll be very busy!
So, Third Grandfather, please feel free to use your talents and showcase your superb skills! I've already stated before that the money you earn through hard work is your rightful reward, and there's absolutely no need for you to report to me or explain anything. You're being too polite!
Hearing Mo Yuan's sincere and heartwarming words, the huge weight that had been hanging over Third Grandfather's heart finally lifted. His tense nerves instantly relaxed, and a smile of relief and joy bloomed on his face. Without hesitation, he nodded and agreed, "Good, good, good, what a well-behaved and sensible child! Grandpa knows perfectly well. If you ever want any new furniture made in the future, just tell me, and Grandpa promises to make it for you free of charge!"
Mo Yuan quickly waved his hand to politely decline, saying that he dared not trouble his third grandfather with the expense. However, the two still exchanged pleasantries for a while before the third grandfather finally turned and left, satisfied and happy.
After seeing off his third grandfather, Mo Yuan was about to go back to his room when a short figure suddenly ran in through the door.
The opponent's speed was as fast as lightning. Mo Yuan didn't even have time to react before the small figure crashed straight into him like a cannonball.
When Mo Yuan steadied himself and looked closely, he realized that the impetuous little fellow was actually Da Ya.
In stark contrast to her usual cheerful, lively, and smiling demeanor, Daya's face was deathly pale, filled with terror, as if she had just witnessed an extremely horrific scene. Her once clear and bright eyes were now wide open in fear, and her lips trembled slightly.
When Daya saw Mo Yuan, her expression softened slightly, but she still held onto Mo Yuan's hand tightly and refused to let go. Mo Yuan could clearly feel the little girl's body trembling uncontrollably, clearly shrouded in extreme fear deep within her heart.
Seeing this, Mo Yuan quickly squatted down, gently stroking Daya's hair, and comforted her in the gentlest and kindest tone possible: "Alright, alright, Daya, don't be scared. Tell your uncle what happened! If anyone dares to bully our Daya, your uncle will definitely stand up for you! Come on, come on, tell your uncle everything!"
After hearing Mo Yuan's question, Daya nodded hurriedly at first, but then seemed to remember something and shook her head frantically. She seemed somewhat incoherent, stammering, "Yes, yes... no, no, no... no one bullied me, it was, it was my mother..." Perhaps because she was too scared, or perhaps because she was too nervous, Daya was unable to explain the situation clearly for a while.
