Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Someone Has Ideas: A Well-Intentioned Warning (1)_1

That day, Mo Yan got up early. After having breakfast, he had Lizhong harness the carriage and took the three of them into town.

The carriage was warm and comfortable, which made Tie Tou and Wang Pangtou, who were riding in a carriage for the first time, excited beyond measure. They didn’t dare to touch the delicate patterns on the carriage walls, just staring and scrutinizing them over and over.

With nothing else to do, Mo Yan started to chat with them, asking if they were getting used to their new lives, whether they had encountered any difficulties, and what thoughts they had about the rice shop.

"Little boss, Manager Li takes good care of us. If there’s anything we don’t understand, he patiently teaches us, never hits or scolds, and everyone else is really nice, too. Many customers have praised our rice shop!" Wang Pangtou said with a beaming smile, his tone full of gratitude and pride.

Before working at the Mo Family’s rice shop, he had braced himself for reprimands. Before the famine, there were people in his village who worked in shops, toiling hard and being scolded or even beaten when they made mistakes, so he was worried. But after working for half a month, none of that had happened; and his wages were even high!

His playmates back in the village were very envious once they heard about it. In the past few days, some of them had even visited his mother, offering to find him a bride—an idea that previously would have been unthinkable, heh heh!

Seeing his genuine satisfaction, Mo Yan smiled and nodded, then turned to ask Tie Tou, who hadn’t spoken yet.

"Good!" Tie Tou blinked, then blurted out the word with a naive smile on his face.

With plenty of rice to eat and light work, even if he was slow, he didn’t get scolded. When he went home, his grandparents always greeted him with smiles. How could it not be good!

Looking at his naive and simple expression, Mo Yan felt a bit worried for Mo Wu. This kind of character wasn’t bad; with his honest and simple nature, if he found a kindhearted and content woman, he could have a harmonious life.

However, such a personality clearly wasn’t enough to carry the burdens of a family. The wife he would need should be competent and good at managing a household; otherwise, life would be difficult, and such girls were not easy to find!

"That’s good! If you have any difficulties or issues, you can talk to Grandfather Li. As long as you work hard, the Mo Family will not mistreat you," he said, knowing that as the owner of the rice shop, he needed to motivate his employees at times!

"Understood, Little boss!" Wang Pangtou replied fervently, then seemed to remember something. He glanced at Mo Yan, hesitated, and said, "It’s just that there’s been a strange customer recently, coming in every day to buy grains, saying our family’s grains are delicious and asking where we purchase our grains from. I told him I didn’t know, and he seemed not to believe it. Then he asked Brother Tie Tou, and when Brother Tie Tou said he didn’t know, he seemed to believe him. He hasn’t been around as much these past few days, and I haven’t told Manager Li!"

After hearing this, Mo Yan became quietly alert. Seeing the nervous look on Wang Pangtou’s face, he reassured, "Brother Fat Head, you did very well! If someone asks again, just tell the truth, there’s nothing secretive about it."

Tell the truth? Wang Pangtou was startled, then quickly grasped what Mo Yan meant. He genuinely didn’t know where the grains were sourced, so he could only tell the truth.

Tie Tou knew even less, and seeing Wang Pangtou nod, he followed suit.

Mo Yan asked a few more questions but couldn’t uncover any additional clues. There had been people before who asked where the rice shop’s grains were sourced, but this was the first time someone had been so persistent, asking over many days. It seemed they had been targeted since the opening.

The question was whether this person had recognized the value of their fragrant rice and wanted to find out its origins to share in the profits. Fortunately, he had moved a large amount of grain into the warehouse during the first transfer, and since the opening, he hadn’t gone there again. Even if someone was watching the warehouse now, they wouldn’t discover anything. Still, more caution was needed for future visits.
