Chapter 447: Chapter 447 The Men in Black Partnership (7)_1

The man in black: "..."

Dammit, silent again. What does your silence mean?

Inside, Mo Yan’s frustration boiled over. If it weren’t for her lack of combat power, she’d have thrown these two out long ago instead of wasting her words on them!

Perhaps sensing her irritation, Xiao Hua Dabai stood on either side of her, growling discontentedly at the two black-clad figures, as if to say if they dared to remain silent, they’d bite them to death.

The expression beneath the black mask changed. They had learned just how fierce the two wolves were since the first day they arrived, having been detected by them. If not for their non-malicious intentions, they’d have been exposed and would not have had the chance to stay on.

This time, the man in black did not remain silent. His voice flat and unemotional, he said, "Without the master’s order, we dare not abandon our duty. If the young lady really wishes, she may discuss it with the master first."

Mo Yan was rendered speechless by their excuse. She irritably scratched her head, not even sure if she was more annoyed at being watched or at someone’s well-intentioned care for her.

When she finally calmed down, the two men in black were gone. Mo Yan knew they must be lurking around somewhere, but she had no desire to have Xiao Hua Dabai sniff them out, so she sulkily returned to the courtyard with the two beasts.

Another sleepless night!

According to custom, the following days should have been spent visiting relatives for the New Year, but the Mo Family had no relatives to visit. Even if they were to go to the Liu Family, they would have to wait until after the sixth day since the Liu Family would surely be visiting relatives before then.

Fortunately, there were many in the Mo Family, and despite the many taboos of the New Year that limited activities, sitting together to chat and tease was not boring.

And so, the days quickly passed. After paying New Year visits to the Liu Family and the Han Family and returning the visits to the Punishing Shopkeeper and Owner Mu, it was already the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Mo Wu decided to set up a stall after the Lantern Festival. Starting from the eighth day of the first month, whenever she had free time, she came to Lao Mo’s House to learn cooking from Mo Yan.

With not much time, and considering the preference for salty and sour tastes of the Northern people, Mo Yan planned to teach two recipes, fearing that teaching too many would be too much for Mo Wu to master. One was the well-known jianbing guozi from her previous life, and the other a large pancake rolled with eggs, complemented with a hot and spicy soup, perfect for the cold weather.

Mo Wu treasured this opportunity to lift herself out of difficulties and learned very seriously. Mo Yan taught meticulously without holding anything back, and after Mo Wu had mastered it and practiced for a few days, the taste was almost identical to Mo Yan’s. Although the family, accustomed to Mo Yan’s cooking, could taste the difference in one bite, it was good enough to sell in town.

The Mo Family ran a rice shop and sold flour, and Space provided an endless supply of vegetables, eggs, and chickens, so Mo Yan took it upon herself to supply the snack’s ingredients, to be later accounted as silver taken from the profits earned at the end of each month.

Flour was easy to obtain, directly from the shop; vegetables could be temporarily sourced from the plot in the back garden until they could plant more in a new vegetable patch. Eggs and chickens would have to be brought out of Space under the pretense of purchasing them in town, but she had to avoid those two black-clad figures to keep Space’s secret safe.

Fortunately, when the weather warmed up, the chickens in Space would be moved to the orchard for rearing, thus saving Mo Yan a lot of trouble.

Mo Wu’s frequent visits to Lao Mo’s House did not escape the notice of Old Man Mo’s family.

The two families had cut ties, and Old Man Mo felt that his daughter-in-law’s daily trips to the Mo House was an affront to his dignity. One day, when Mo Wu returned from the Mo House, he deliberately chided her, but she did not heed his words and brushed off his remarks.

Old Man Mo was annoyed, but as a father-in-law, he had no place to discipline a "disobedient" daughter-in-law, nor could he talk of casting her off, so he had no choice but to put pressure on his eldest son to keep his wife in line.

Mo Yongfu was both soft-hearted and simple-minded. Although he dared not disregard his father’s words, he couldn’t ignore his wife’s, especially since she was thinking of their child’s welfare. So, outwardly, he appeased Old Man Mo by scolding Mo Wu, but inwardly, he had already taken her side!

However, with Mrs. Niu stirring the pot, how could Mo Hong’s family tolerate their daughter-in-law getting on well with the "enemy" who had "harmed" their daughter?
