Chapter 387: Chapter 387 Greedy Little Flower Causes Trouble and Injures Someone (3)_1

Yang Bao watched their retreating figures and let out a long sigh. These people were not steady or willing to put in honest work—if they had just worked diligently for the Mo Family for a few months, their lives wouldn’t be as hard as they were now.

Seeing his distress, his wife laughed and said, "Look how worried you are, just manage the village affairs as the village leader! You’re not their father; if they’re not diligent, what can your worry do?"

Yang Bao gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said nothing.

Liu Yang Village was nestled against a large mountain; the land wasn’t fertile, and the yearly yield was only enough to scrape by. Otherwise, over the years, there wouldn’t have been just a dozen or so families coming and going in the village. If it weren’t for those refugees who were allocated to this place later, Liu Yang Village wouldn’t be as lively as it was now.

Things were still manageable now, since living conditions were more or less the same, and with different surnames in the village, marriage was still easy. But in a few years, if Liu Yang Village didn’t prosper, finding marriage partners would become a major problem. After all, the surrounding villages were much wealthier; who would be willing to marry their daughter into hardship?

...

"Tsk, that Yang Bao is really useless. He’s the village leader, yet he can’t help us get rich. What good is such a village leader!" A group of men left Yang Bao’s house, and Wang Dali immediately started complaining indignantly.

If it hadn’t been for Yang Bao meddling, his family would still be living in the Mo Family’s warm and spacious house, instead of in a thatched cottage that let in the cold from all sides, freezing to death every day. And now this old fool was blocking his way to fortune—unbearable!

"That’s right, Brother Dali. Such a good opportunity to make money, and he just cuts it off; it’s so unjust. If only Brother Dali were the village leader."

The others were also unhappy, and for a moment, they found Wang Dali, who shared their sentiments, particularly agreeable.

"Me, become the leader?" Wang Dali waved his hands feigningly, then his eyes twinkled as he said, "Yang Bao won’t let us into the mountains, and that stinkin’ girl from the Mo Family won’t agree, but we can go on our own! As long as those dogs go into the mountains, we can just follow them and snatch the rabbits from their mouths, right?"

The men were taken aback, but after thinking it through, their eyes lit up, and they voiced their agreement loudly, "That’ll work, this plan will work, let’s do that!"

After all, those dogs can’t talk; even if their rabbits were stolen, they couldn’t tattle. As long as they were careful not to get bitten, this was definitely a great way to make money.

At that moment, the men kept flattering Wang Dali, saying how righteous he was. Wang Dali smiled smugly, a flash of greed in his eyes.

Mo Yan was unaware that Wang Dali had instigated this plot, nor did she know they were setting their sights on the dogs. At that moment, she had just finished reading the letter Maomao had brought back, feeling somewhat troubled.

Although Xiao Ruiyuan’s letter did not mention the war at the border, Mo Yan could still sense something amiss between the lines. Even though he was a man who rarely revealed his emotions, the handwriting was clearly not as steady as before, betraying a hint of impatience. Apart from unfavorable news from the frontlines, she couldn’t think of any other reason.

Gently stroking Maomao’s head, she looked into its bright eyes and asked distractedly, "Is your Family Head doing well? Has he been injured?"

Maomao’s eyes whirled around, and it lifted a claw to rub the back of her hand, bobbing its head and babbling incessantly.

Mo Yan couldn’t understand its bird chatter, which only made her feel more irritable. She sighed softly, and with a flip of her hand, a ripe, red peach appeared in her palm.

Maomao was overjoyed at the sight of the peach, its favorite! It pecked hungrily, leaving a small indentation on the round fruit. The indentation grew into a large pit, and the peach the size of a fist was quickly devoured by Maomao.
