Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 281: The Shop Acquisition Trapped the Zhang Family (3)_1

Mo Yan was momentarily stunned, obviously not quite understanding his meaning.

Looking at her dazed and silly expression, Yan Junyu could not help but chuckle, "It’s exactly what you’re thinking. From now on, don’t think about sending Little Flower back, she would be very sad if she knew."

As he spoke, a strong sense of melancholy filled his heart. Little Flower’s mother had saved him in the icy and snowy wilderness, providing him with warmth. Even though he started raising Little Flower as a way to repay her mother’s kindness, after so many years together, he had come to regard Little Flower as family.

Now, entrusting her care to another person, even knowing that this person would take good care of her, he could not help but worry.

The feelings Yan Junyu harbored were like those of a loving father marrying off his daughter; even though he knew Mo Yan was reliable, he couldn’t help but worry she might not take good care of Little Flower.

"Rest assured, Young Master, I will take good care of her. If she ever wants to come back to you, I won’t stop her."

Mo Yan didn’t know what Yan Junyu was thinking but assured him very solemnly, happy in her heart to continue living with Little Flower. Even if she often complained this or that, she really did like this greedy and haughty fellow.

Feeling somewhat discomforted, Yan Junyu simply nodded without saying anything more.

Seeing that he had no intention of speaking again, Mo Yan also fell silent. She had intended to say goodbye to Yan Junyu and leave, but seeing him lost in thought as if reminiscing about something, she did not speak out. Instead, she just stared out the window, hoping that the Punishing Shopkeeper had already settled the shop dealings with the Zhang Family.

Mo Yan’s wish came true; one and a half hours later, the Punishing Shopkeeper returned, holding a document. With this document, Mo Yan could go to Zhang Fugui at the Government Office to transfer the shop into her name. The only condition was that the belongings inside the shop needed to be cleared out in two days.

The Punishing Shopkeeper proved to be an adept businessman; the shop’s price was even lower than what Mo Yan had budgeted, costing only 3300 taels of silver. Mo Yan quickly took out a silver note for 3300 taels and handed it personally to the Punishing Shopkeeper, thanking him profusely.

The Shopkeeper didn’t stand on ceremony, accepting the silver note with a smile. He then leaned in and whispered, "Does Miss Mo still have any of that white fruit wine at home? The Lord just treated me to a small cup earlier, and just as I was savoring the taste, it was gone."

Seeing his longing gaze, Mo Yan stifled a smile. She had lied in front of Yan Junyu, so it wouldn’t do to tell him she had any. Instead, she said there was no white fruit wine, but she could send over a few jars of Plum Wine. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Although the Shopkeeper was slightly disappointed, knowing how delicious the white fruit wine was, he imagined the Plum Wine couldn’t be much different and gratefully thanked Mo Yan.

Upon leaving Huixian Residence, Mo Yan and Lizhong headed straight for the Zhang Family’s place. It was naturally more comforting to have the shop transferred to her name sooner rather than later. With the Zhang Family’s track record, who knows if they might resort to trickery, promising the shop to someone else and then running off with the ill-gotten silver?

It turned out, Mo Yan was spot on.

When the two arrived at the Zhang’s, they happened to encounter a middle-aged man dressed in fine silk who looked like a wealthy family’s Steward. He exuberantly emerged from the Zhang residence, and upon seeing Mo Yan Li Zhong, he hummed smugly at them and rode away in his carriage.

A flicker of doubt crossed Mo Yan’s mind. She looked at Lizhong, only to hear him take the initiative to speak, "Yan girl, something seems off. No matter what, make Zhang Fugui go to the Government Office to transfer the ownership."

"I understand, Grandfather Li," Mo Yan nodded solemnly and then stepped forward to knock on the gates of the Zhang Family.

The one who opened the door was Zhang Ming. When he saw the pretty young Mo Yan standing at the doorway, he was stunned for a moment. He was about to ask what she wanted when he saw Lizhong one step behind her. Zhang Ming froze like he had been struck by lightning, unable to move.
