The next day, before daybreak, the father and daughter hurriedly found an oxcart and headed home.

The oxcart swayed for an hour before arriving at the village. The father and daughter returned home, and there were few pedestrians on the road. They didn't attract much attention.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw Old Mrs. Mo opening the door and coming out.

When Old Lady Mo saw the father and daughter, she quickly led them into the house, fearing that they would be seen by the villagers.

As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Mo couldn't wait to know the result.

The father and daughter sat at the table and saw that all the family members were present.

Mo Rao took out the money excitedly.

The whole family looked at the table together, and found that the money on the table was not silver, but ingots of gold.

It’s gold! Oh my God! I’ve never seen a gold ingot in my life. I didn’t expect it to be gold. Old Mrs. Mo said excitedly.

Why is this gold so beautiful?

The whole family was so happy that the Ganoderma lucidum could be sold for such a high price.

Finally, Father Mo took out 20 taels of gold, which was 200 taels, and handed it directly to Old Lady Mo. He also took out 75 taels of silver and handed it to Mother Mo.

Although Xiaowu discovered this Ganoderma, if Daya hadn't known about it, this money wouldn't have been ours. I'll give the rest directly to Daya.

He repeatedly told his family not to talk nonsense outside, as it would be bad if the money was coveted by thieves.

Everyone in the family repeatedly stated that they would not go out and talk nonsense.

Even Mo Baoshan, who didn't understand what was going on, was repeatedly told not to go out and talk nonsense.

This time Mo Rao did not refuse. After all, she already had two hundred taels in her hand, which was enough for a while.

These two hundred taels can be used as pocket money. Otherwise, it would be so sad to have no money.

The family discussed and decided to build a house after Qingshan got married. Since the wedding was about to start and the date had been set, there was naturally no time to build the house, so they had to wait until after the wedding.

Since he had decided to build a house, Father Mo didn't plan to repair the wall. He just wanted to tear it down.

At this time, Mo Rao picked up the lunch box placed aside and took out all the dishes inside.

The whole family looked at the dishes on the table and their mouths were watering.

Old Lady Mo said with a look of dismay, "What a spendthrift! They're already building things as soon as they have a little money. They don't plan to live like this anymore, do they?"

Old Mrs. Mo slammed the table in excitement. Just by looking at the dish, she knew that it was not something a farmer's family like them could afford.

Father Mo quickly explained: Mother, listen to me, we are setting up a trap for the buyers in the town.

He said he wanted to take us to a restaurant and had a seat. He insisted on treating us to a meal, but Daya and I never expected that after buying the Ganoderma lucidum, he would actually let us pay for it ourselves.

It was not until the dishes were served that we realized that the man had ordered a large table of dishes for us, which cost nearly twenty-seven taels of silver.

This guy did it on purpose from the beginning. He deliberately tricked us. This rich young man is more cunning than a sieve.

But there was nothing we could do but to accept the loss.

After hearing the whole story, Old Lady Mo's anger subsided a lot. But she had nothing good to say about the man who had betrayed her own children and grandchildren. She scolded him for a long time, and only stopped when she was tired.

Mo Rao was amused. "Grandma, you keep scolding him for a long time but he can't hear you." Aren't you tired of scolding him all the time?

I'm not tired. I feel relieved only after scolding your grandma.

Haha, that's good. Let's eat now! Look at you, big brother, and the younger brothers and sisters are drooling.

Old Mrs. Mo looked at her children and grandchildren with such greed, and felt both angry and amused.

Eat it!

As soon as Mrs. Mo finished speaking, several people picked up their chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls. They ate so deliciously!

Mo Rao saw that Xiao Wu's mouth was stuffed full, just like a little hamster, so cute.

Mrs. Mo, Father Mo, and Mother Mo all just lowered their heads to drink the vegetable porridge in their bowls and took a few bites of the vegetables. Mo Rao knew that they were reluctant to eat it and were saving it for them.

She will definitely make sure that this family no longer has to worry about food in the future.

With money in hand, he naturally became less stingy about the wedding. He asked his family to clean the house inside and outside.

The wedding dress was also completed under the rush of mother and daughter, excluding Mo Rao.

Even before daybreak, the grandparents and grandchildren were busy at work. Neighbors would come over to lend a hand. The house was festooned with red silk, and the atmosphere was lively. Children from the village would also run around the doorways.

The courtyard wall was directly torn down by Mo's father and several fellow villagers the night before.

There was no wall at the entrance, and it was quite spacious. Fifteen tables were set up at the entrance, ready to be served as soon as the bride entered.

Mo's mother arranged Mo Qingshan's wedding suit for groom. After a while, Mo's mother saw her eldest son wearing a bright red wedding suit, and her eyes were filled with joy.

When the time comes, the bride-picking party will set off.

The music was deafening, as if spreading joy to every corner. The bright red sedan chair was particularly dazzling in the crowd, its red silk fluttering in the wind like a burning flame.

Mo Qingshan looked so high-spirited as he rode on a tall horse.

The weather has been good in recent years, and everyone's life is pretty good. Farmers sometimes ride horses to welcome their brides, although not many, but there are still some.

The wedding procession was long, with music and dance all the way, it was very lively.

As they approached Zhang's house, a wedding procession arrived, playing music and whistling, with children running and playing behind them. It was a truly lively scene.

Mo Qingshan sighed. Today is such a good day. There are so many people getting married.

The Zhang family that was welcoming the bride was located at the outermost part of Zhangjia Village.

As soon as we arrived, we saw the scene in the Zhang family courtyard. It was very lively. The villagers had already started to eat.

Although Mo Qingshan was puzzled, he still dismounted politely.

The Zhangs were in the courtyard, happily entertaining their guests.

When they heard the sounds of music outside, Zhang's parents were still wondering. Didn't this person just leave? Why is he back again?

When the two of them came out and took a closer look, their faces turned pale with fear. Oh my god! Didn't they say that the Mo family didn't have money to come and welcome the bride? What's going on now?

A few days ago, my father-in-law came to explain the situation. When he learned that my family did not have any betrothal gifts, he naturally did not agree to the marriage.

They said they would make up for it after the wedding. Do they think they are stupid? After the wedding, can the betrothal gifts be returned?

The next day they also heard that the Mo family had made a fortune and killed a giant python in the mountains.

They had originally planned to wait until the next day to go to the Mo family and renegotiate the marriage. After all, their family was wealthy now, so the betrothal gift couldn't be just five taels of silver.

Before they could even arrive, news arrived from the Mo family that the second branch of the Mo family had come to demand the money. In the end, the first branch of the Mo family was forced to split up the family property. They received nothing, and they couldn't even keep the windfall they had just received.

You pass this message to me, and I pass it to you, and in the end, it becomes more and more distorted.

When the story reached the Zhang family, it became known that the Mo family was forced to fleece the second branch of the family. They were left penniless. When the family finally split up, they only got a shabby house. And there was Old Lady Mo.

Even the 100 taels of silver he had just obtained could not be kept. They were all taken away by the second wife's family.

Upon hearing this, the Zhangs decided to cancel the engagement. But the thought of having to return the one tael of silver to the other party made them reluctant.

Relatives and friends have already been notified. The time for the banquet has been set. They can't afford to cancel the wedding outright.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Cheng family in the town took a fancy to their daughter and was willing to pay a betrothal gift of ten taels.

Zhang's parents made the decision immediately.

They thought the Mo family was penniless and definitely didn't have the money to come and welcome the bride. Who would have thought...
