Chapter 445: Chapter 445 The Men in Black Partnership (5)_1

Ever since my uncle’s family became wealthy, there have never been an end to troubles and scandals, and although we’ve managed to avoid them smoothly, it’s still very upsetting.

Hearing this, Mo Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, unsure what to say. She quickly changed the subject, "Aunt, you are already managing your own household affairs, have you ever thought about moving out to live separately?"

We’ve cut ties with Old Man Mo and his family, but not with aunt’s family. It’s just that since we live together, it’s not always convenient to visit each other. If aunt’s family could move out, this concern would no longer exist.

Mo Wu sighed bitterly upon hearing this, "Aunt is embarrassed to say, but I dream of moving out, even if life gets a bit harder, I’d be willing! Now the house is in such a mess, we’re the laughingstock of the village. I don’t care so much at my age, but it’s time for Tie Tou and Dani to be wed. Not to mention not having a proper home, with such a tainted reputation, which girl would want to marry into our family, and which boy would want to set foot in our doorstep?"

At this point, she looked at Mo Yan hesitantly and asked, "Yan girl, you’re clever. Could you think of a way for aunt to earn some money?" Fearing Mo Yan might misunderstand, she quickly added, "Aunt doesn’t have any great skills, and doesn’t aspire to make Big Money. I’d be content with just two or three taels a year."

If she could also earn Silver Coin, plus her eldest son’s monthly wage of 700 Wen, they could afford to build a mud brick house in a year. If they worked harder to earn a bit more, they might even get a daughter-in-law by the end of the year. Next year, if they worked even harder to prepare a larger dowry for Dani, finding her a good marriage would be perfect. If that were to happen, I could wake up from my dreams laughing!

Mo Yan was deeply moved upon hearing this. Parents the world over are like this; as long as their children are well, they have no complaints no matter how tough or tiring it gets. So, she said, "Aunt, please allow me to think about it."

Mo Wu, overwhelmed with joy, said excitedly, "Take your time, take your time, aunt is not in a hurry, not in a hurry."

Mo Yan smiled, told her to snack on some nibbles while she waited, and quickly racked her brains for ideas. After some thought, she felt that setting up a small street stall or renting a small shop in the city to make specialty snacks was a good idea.

Most people living in Jing City were well-to-do, and many people preferred to eat breakfast outside rather than cooking at home. The businesses like noodle stalls and bun shops were generally doing well on the streets. Although they couldn’t earn Big Money, they could easily make a surplus of around ten taels a year after covering food and other expenses.

Besides, setting up a small street stall didn’t cost much. As long as you paid a small stall fee and management fee to the Government Office, there would be no issues. It wasn’t troublesome to do and was easy to manage, although those who run them do have to work from dawn till dusk.

Mo Yan shared her ideas, but Mo Wu shook her head, "Yan girl, that’s a good idea, and aunt is not afraid of hard work. It’s just that I have no skills and can’t make tasty food. Even when I made wild vegetable buns or coarse rice cakes in the past, they didn’t taste all that great. If I sell the things I can make, without them being as tasty as others’, I’m afraid it won’t attract business."

Mo Yan thought it was a significant issue at first but laughed when she heard this, "Aunt, you don’t have to worry about that. I have several recipes for making snacks. After the New Year, I’ll teach you how to make them."

In her previous life, she spent a lot of her free time studying food. Even if she hadn’t learned to make every regional snack, she knew how to make most of the common ones found in the streets and alleys. Teaching just a few would be enough for aunt to run a snack business.

"No, no, that won’t do!" Mo Wu refused without a second thought, shaking her head, "That’s your craft, which might be very useful in the future. You should keep it for yourself."

Mo Yan understood her meaning and felt even more certain she hadn’t misjudged her, so she patiently urged, "Aunt, these are just a few snack recipes, nothing much. I’ve never thought about using them to make Silver, and now with the rice shop supporting us, we’re not in need of this bit of money. Rather than let it go to waste, it’s better I teach you. Who knows, you might even make them shine in your hands!"
