Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 54: Promoting rice and grudges

After absorbing the Sun Fire again, Yan Mo began to implement her previous plan. Yan Mo bought the ownership of a large piece of land in Qingshui Town and built houses here. The largest one was a charity hall. She wanted to start from Qingshui Town. After all, Qingshui Town was a no-man's land, and many people who couldn't survive ran here, including the elderly and children.

Yan Mo didn't use her original appearance. Here, she was just a wealthy and affluent woman. She found the more honest farmers here, gave them some seeds, and explained how to plant and maintain them. When they were ripe, someone would come to buy them. Yan Mo brought Xiao Yao with her the whole time. Xiao Yao didn't say a word, just watched quietly.

Yan Mo found a dirty beggar. The little boy was quite clever. He saw that Yan Mo was dressed cleanly and nicely and must be rich. He also saw Yan Mo looking around and came over to ask.

"Sir, how can I help you? I'm very familiar with this place. I can help you find people or inquire about things. All I need is some food!"

Yan Mo looked carefully at the little boy in front of him. Although his clothes were torn, they were very clean, and his eyes were clear and smart.

"I need help building a house. I wonder if you could find some for me. It would be best if they were homeless minors. I'll provide you with three meals a day."

"Yes, yes, sister, how many people do you want?" The little boy was very excited. As long as there was food, he would do anything.

"Please take some time to gather all the underage children in Qingshui Town to the open space in front. No matter how big or small, I can give the younger ones some easy work. I have something to tell you. Is one morning enough?"

"That's enough, I'll go right away!" The little boy was very excited and ran to inform everyone. He had a premonition that their good days were coming.

"Sister, why did you ask them to build the house?" Xiao Yao asked the doubts in her heart.

"Of course, they won't build it all. I'll hire professionals to guide us, and they'll just help with the manual labor. Furthermore, this house will be their future residence, so they'll definitely put more effort into it than anyone else. This will be their home in the future. After all these years of wandering, they must be desperate for a place to stay that's sheltered from the elements."

"Sister, you do so much for them without asking for anything in return. Isn't that a loss? If they don't know how to be grateful and just keep asking for things, what should we do?"

"Human nature is indeed greedy. A little kindness is followed by a great deal of resentment. I, your sister, didn't raise them for nothing. I usually assign them tasks, so that they feel that all the gains are earned through their own ability. If they don't work hard, they will still have to live their old lives. It's up to them to make their own choices. If they are not suitable, I will drive them away. Will your sister be afraid?"

Yan Mo carefully guided Xiao Yao, believing these people would also benefit from her support in the future. Xiao Yao fell into deep thought: A small amount of kindness can lead to a great deal of resentment. So, in her previous life, she had helped Xuanxuan without expecting anything in return, and in the end, her fate was the result of her own actions?

"Sister, you are so good to me. Aren't you afraid that I will become like that?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously.

Yan Mo looked at Xiao Yao, and suddenly his eyes became sharp, no longer gentle as before. Xiao Yao took a step back in fear, looking at Yan Mo in horror. Yan Mo approached Xiao Yao step by step, and Xiao Yao stepped back step by step.

"Xiaoyao, I'm warning you. Everything you have is given by me. I can spoil you and love you, but my bottom line is the people I care about: Xiangliu, the Yijun army, and my adoptive father. If you do anything to harm them in the future or dare to use them, I will take back everything you have, including your mother! I can save you and your mother, but I can also destroy them and you! Remember, don't touch my bottom line!"

In just a moment, Yan Mo smiled again, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"Xiaoyao is such a good girl, how could she do something to hurt her sister? Right!" Yan Mo smiled gently and touched Xiaoyao's hair.

Xiaoyao's hair stood on end. She had a feeling that her sister could do what she said.

"I know, I know. Xiaoyao will keep it in mind. Xiaoyao swears to protect everything that sister cares about." Xiaoyao said with a firm look in her eyes.

"Go, buy some more buns and put them on the empty table. People will be here soon. You'll have the energy to work after you've eaten." Yan Mo took out a bag of silver and handed it to Xiao Yao, letting her go. Xiao Yao took the silver and ran away.

"Don't you usually dote on her? Why are you so mean to her today?" Xiangliu, transformed into Baozhu, walked slowly from behind and teased.

"Yes! Perhaps after what happened just now, I've come to my senses. What's the difference between what I'm doing now and what she did in her previous life? I shouldn't bet everything on someone's conscience. Haha, the Xuanyuan bloodline is naturally cold and indifferent. I was stupid, so I can only remind her not to have any thoughts that shouldn't be moved. I'm not a little white rabbit. Dare to betray me, humph!"

"My master is still the best. He sold himself to me for a little favor. Did he miss me?" Yan Mo pressed himself against him, lifted Baozhu's chin with his fingers, and gave him a seductive look.

"What Madam gave me is not just small favors, Madam gave me her heart, how can I not return my true heart?" Baozhu put his arm around Yan Mo's waist and smiled evilly!

"Brother, you are such a seductive demon. You'd better stay away from me in broad daylight. I might not be able to resist..."

"It's because Mo'er is too tempting, no wonder brother couldn't resist..."

Yan Mo pushed Xiang Liu away, secretly complaining that the colorful snake and the colorful bird were a good match, but business was more important.

"How are things going on your side?" Yan Mo asked seriously.

"I've found the nearest death arena and infiltrated to discuss it with them. They agreed, and I've made it clear that whether they can all be saved depends on fate. Otherwise, no one will be saved. The first batch of those who have faked their deaths will be pulled out tonight, and we'll go and meet them."

"Okay, sir, I trust you to do the job! I'll go with you once I'm done with this."

"Well, have you eaten yet? Should I go get some with you?"

"A treat from my lord?"

"Nonsense, paying the bill is a man's job." Baozhu replied seriously.

Yan Mo chuckled, as if recalling some funny scene. Bao Zhu didn't understand why, but he also laughed. The two of them held hands, like an ordinary couple, walking in the bustling market, warm and happy.

Xiaoyao watched from afar, feeling a mixture of envy and confusion. She seemed to recall that during the marrow cleansing, the immortal brother had also looked at her with murderous eyes, and asked her to swear an oath afterwards. Perhaps she understood that her brother and sister were the ones who protected each other with their lives. No one could squeeze in between them, not even her! As long as someone hurt any of them, they would fight for each other with all their strength.

In this world, there aren't many relationships that last through life and death. Are my parents like this too? What about me? Xiaoyao was confused. Did the lover my sister mentioned who died for me ever love me like this?

Who knows, maybe...
