Chapter 109 Hogging a meal before leaving



Grandma Mo said with a smile, "Alright, alright! You've worked hard, make sure you eat your fill! If you're still hungry, we'll get you more food!"

The group of craftsmen felt a warmth in their hearts. They rarely encountered such an easy-going family, who were all smiles. They secretly resolved to use all their skills to build a beautiful and sturdy house!

Wang Yanlin loved the food so much; it suited his taste perfectly. He even shamelessly asked Old Mo to cook some more so he could take some back with him and use it as a deduction from his wages.

Grandma Mo couldn't possibly deduct his wages. She had entrusted the entire house matter to him. Whether it turned out well or not was entirely up to him. It wouldn't matter if he cooked a little extra; it was just a small favor.

So Wang Yanlin got his wish, was happy, and in excellent spirits, he led a group of equally energetic craftsmen to begin their dream.

Luo and Liu thought that the Mo family wouldn't really stop teaching them out of consideration for their feelings. But when they saw that someone was actually buying rice noodles, they went to the Mo family again two days later.

However, everyone in the Mo family was busy and no one paid them any attention.

They explained their purpose, hoping that Zhao would take some time to teach them again from scratch, because they hadn't memorized anything. However, Zhao was too busy to deal with them and simply told them to go to a family in the village that made rice noodles to learn.

Luo wanted to get angry, but seeing that Zhao was really too busy, she couldn't vent her anger.

Liu pulled her away, hoping to find a place in the village to see how rice noodles were made. But unfortunately, everyone turned them down; they were too busy to help.

Finally, the two returned to the Mo family home, still unwilling to give up, and wanted to ask when the Mo family would be available. The answer they received was that they were very busy for the past two months, which left them dumbfounded and very unhappy.

Merchants are now buying rice noodles because there are still relatively few rice noodles available, and small workshops haven't been built and put into production yet, so the price is quite good. If you take this opportunity to make more, you're sure to make some money.

Who knows what the situation will be like two months from now? Who dares to say that the acquisition price will still be so high then?

So what are they going to do for the next two months? Just wait around?

They panicked. Their families were waiting for them to learn how to make it and sell it to earn some money to help support their household!

Their family had never had any income and was extremely poor. After learning that they could exchange money, they sent two people to learn how, hoping to catch a good price and exchange it for some money.

Unfortunately, the two didn't take it seriously. When they arrived at the Mo family's house and saw how good the food was, they lost interest in learning and just wanted to freeload for as long as possible.

The Mo family really doesn't have time to teach anymore, and the villagers won't let them watch either. Where else can they learn?

When I get home, I'm sure I'll get a scolding!

Luo and Liu were uneasy and hesitated in the Mo family courtyard for a long time before finally having no choice but to go back.

With so many people from the Mo family at home, they didn't dare to cause a scene and could only go back first.

Just as they reached the door, Luo suddenly came to her senses. She smelled the aroma and couldn't move. She pulled Liu back to the door.

Seeing the large and small pots cooking in the Mo family's courtyard, with such a strong aroma of meat, it must be stewed meat!

Luo decided to stay and have a meal before going back. Anyway, things were already set in stone and wouldn't turn out as planned, so she might as well have a meal first!

Liu saw it too, but she was more level-headed and felt something was amiss. She guessed that something must have happened to the Mo family to warrant such a large-scale preparation of so much food.

Look! Several large baskets of washed vegetables and wild greens have been laid out; it looks like a banquet is about to be held!

Could it be that they're really going to hold a banquet?

But no one notified them, and when they arrived, no one invited them to stay for dinner!

Liu guessed and guessed but couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Luo was sitting on a stool waiting to eat, she hesitated for a moment, then sat down as well.

No one in the Mo family had time to deal with them, so they just sat there.

It was almost lunchtime when the Mo family started eating. They were in a bit of a rush because they had to deliver food after they finished eating, and they didn't even notice that the two people were still there, so they didn't call them over to eat.

Su Nanxi did see it, but didn't care. She was covered in cooking fumes and just wanted to take off her apron and wash her face and hands properly.

Finally, Mo Dongcheng saw it and called out to Grandma Mo, "Grandma! Auntie hasn't left yet, she's sitting over there!"

The rest of the Mo family then realized that the two hadn't gone home yet, and seemed to be waiting for them to call them for dinner!

Out of politeness, the Mo family invited the two over for dinner.

The two women came over without any ceremony, without even washing their hands, and sat down to wait for someone to serve them their food.

They felt that they hadn't done any work and were just sitting on the side, so their hands weren't dirty and there was no need to wash them. Besides, they weren't going to eat with their hands anyway.

One table was occupied in the main room, and another table was occupied under the crabapple tree.

Su Nanxi likes to eat under the tree because it's shady, well-ventilated, and well-lit, so she eats under the tree.

Seeing this, Grandma Mo simply set up a table under the tree for the children to join.

The children were overjoyed and dutifully served themselves their meals and sat down.

Mo Qinghe was naturally at the same table; wherever his wife was, he was there too.

So everyone was happy and got what they wanted.

The atmosphere in the main room wasn't very good. No need to ask, it was obvious that Luo and Liu were eating too much!

Mo Yunmei couldn't stand it anymore. It kept stealing her favorite dishes, eating them quickly, and making a lot of noise!

She got angry too and started fighting with the two of them.

Mrs. Luo was a little unhappy. How could they treat their guests like this? Did they have no manners at all?

But she dared not say it, because speaking takes time, and saying a few words might mean she would eat fewer pieces of meat!

Seeing this, the others lost their appetite.

The last three who grabbed the food ate until they were stuffed and even let out a loud burp.

Everyone else's faces darkened; they really are birds of a feather!

Qin and Zhao cleaned up the dishes, while Mo Laoda and Mo Laoer carried the food onto the cart, preparing to deliver it to the construction site later.

When Luo saw this, her eyes lit up. She pulled Zhao aside and said, "There's so much food! You don't need to give them such good food for whatever you're doing. That's enough! Get some out later, and I'll take it back for your brother and the others!"

Seeing the greed in Luo's eyes, Zhao glanced at Liu beside her. Liu was better at hiding it, at least not so obvious.

Zhao pulled back her sleeve and said calmly, "I am not the head of the household, I have no right to make decisions. You can go home after you've eaten, your family must be getting impatient. We are very busy and don't have time to deal with you."

After saying that, he left, ignoring Ms. Luo and whatever she said.

Luo was fully expecting that with so much food, she would at least get some to take home. She had even figured out how to explain it to her mother-in-law when she got back!

As a result, her sister-in-law blocked her throat, causing her to choke. She then started hiccuping, and once she started, she couldn't stop, making it impossible for her to say a word.

I watched helplessly as the cart drove away, without getting a single bite of food.

Seeing a table full of meat and vegetables under the tree, Mrs. Luo had an idea.

"You guys eat, burp, if you can't finish, burp, then burp us, take the burp back with you!"
