Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Entertaining Guests with a Warm House, Buying Cattle and Horses (6)_1

"Hmm, then Qingze will head back first,"

Hearing his second uncle’s agreement, Mo Qingze calmly said, ready to leave as he cupped his hands towards Old Man Mo. Whether the second uncle’s family came or not had become meaningless to his own family; their absence would simply mean less entertainment for the villagers to watch.

"Old man, are you really going to suck up to them? You go if you want, but I surely don’t want to see that pack of ungrateful wolves looking all smug,"

Mo Hong’s family spat out bitterly, as if her attending could actually add any significance to the Mo Family Leader’s face.

Old Man Mo’s face darkened as he looked at her and said coldly, "It’s best if you don’t go, to save me the embarrassment."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hong was so angry that she threw her head back and cursed Old Man Mo.

But Old Man Mo was no longer the silent and naively honest man he had been in Mo Family Village; he simply ignored Mrs. Hong’s cursing and had already decided in his heart to take this opportunity to patch things up with Mo Qingze.

"Mom, just hold back a few words," Mo Yonglu persuaded Mrs. Hong, "If we don’t go, people in the village will just think we’re too ashamed to show up."

Old Man Mo looked at Mrs. Hong, whose face was turning stiff, and snorted coldly, "Even the child is better than you. Save face? What face do you have left to give them? You should hear what those people in the village are saying about Lao Mo’s house."

After speaking, he didn’t glance at Mrs. Hong’s increasingly ugly expression and strode into the house with a flick of his sleeve.

Mo Wu’s husband and wife exchanged a glance, both revealing a flash of joy in their eyes, though for different reasons.

Mo Wu didn’t want to strain the relationship with Uncle Tang’s family, hoping to avoid the difficulty of being caught in the middle. A smoother relationship meant visitations to Uncle Tang’s house without displeasing her in-laws.

Mo Yongfu was worried about outsiders laughing at them. If they could use this chance to mend the relationship, he could ask his cousin’s family for help with work in the future, as times at home were tough.

Mo Qingze didn’t bother to guess the thoughts of the Lao Mo family, as he went to Lin Yong’s house instead.

Lin Yong was at the door, cleaning game. Upon hearing Mo Qingze declare his purpose, he readily agreed and even handed a cleaned wild chicken to Mo Qingze to take home.

Mo Qingze couldn’t turn down the offer and accepted it. Seeing the several wild chickens and rabbits by Lin Yong’s side, he smiled and said, "We’ll have a number of guests at home the day after tomorrow, and we’ll need quite a lot of meat. I’ll buy the game you’ve hunted, brother Lin. That also saves us a trip to the city, where we’re not even guaranteed to find anything."

Lin Yong, skilfully skinning a rabbit and without looking up, said, "I’ll send the game I hunt these next few days to your house, as my congratulations on your housewarming."

Mo Qingze agreed with a smile but did not intend to take this advantage for free.

With only Lin Yong left in his household and aside from farming, he relied on hunting to make ends meet. He was already in his twenties and still unmarried, which was enough to make Mo Qingze worried for him. If Lin Yong could save up some silver, it would be easier for him to take a wife later on.

Afterward, Mo Qingze went to each of the other Lin Clan members’ houses for invitation purposes. He also invited Zhang Dayou, Zhang Erniu, and others.

As for Aunt Cai and the others, it was Mo Yan who went with eggs to invite them. There would be many guests that day, and after a rough count, they expected to prepare twenty to thirty tables for the feast. They couldn’t manage it all by themselves and would surely need help. Aunt Cai and the others had a good relationship with the Mo Family, so it was most appropriate to ask for their help.

Having invited everyone in the village, Mo Yan and Lizhong made another trip to the city. They not only invited Liu Tinglan, Punishing Shopkeeper, and Owner Mu, but also went to buy a horse-drawn carriage and two oxen for plowing.

When they had lived in the city, it was convenient to call for a carriage to go to Liu Yang Village, but now that they were moving there, they realized the entire village didn’t even have a single ox for plowing; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so delayed the day they took Xin Er to see the doctor.
