Chapter 632 - Chapter 632 Chapter 632 Gnashing Teeth

Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Gnashing Teeth Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Gnashing Teeth “Sure!”

The villagers instantly became spirited. Their daily lives were not easy, and it was hard to maintain three meals a day. Many families would only afford to buy a little bit of meat during the holidays to indulge their cravings. Hearing that Xuexue was going to set up a banquet, they knew there would be plenty of meat and fish, and they became exceedingly excited, suddenly erupting into cheering that rose and fell in waves.

The arrival of high officials from the Capital was originally a joyous occasion, and now with Xuexue planning to host a feast, their happiness was even greater, rivaling, if not exceeding, the New Year celebrations.

So, everyone spread the news, and Mo Family Village was immersed in a chorus of cheers.

General Situ, the county magistrate, and the village head heard the noisy commotion at the door and came out to see what was happening.

“Daughter, why are they so happy? What happened?” General Situ asked Xuexue with a smile as she stood by the door.

Xuexue turned around to glance at him. “In a few days we will return to the Capital. I plan to have a few days of banquets to make the villagers happy.”

“That’s great! Dad also wants to join in the fun.” Since arriving at Mo Family Village, Situ Yongjie had felt much more relaxed after seeing Xuexue. The suppression he experienced in the Capital had now been lifted.

“Miss, there’s no need to trouble yourself with this matter. Leave it to me to handle, and I will ensure everything goes smoothly so everyone has a great time,” the village head stepped forward and said with a smile.

Xuexue considered for a moment and felt it made sense. She had to make sure everything was in order before she left for the Capital, so she nodded, “Then I’ll leave it to Uncle Village Chief.”

“It’s no trouble at all, no trouble at all,” the village head laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared into the folds of his face. In fact, most of the work would be delegated to other villagers; he still had to stay at the Xie Residence to attend to the General and the county magistrate!

The dozens of guards brought by Situ Yongjie were all accommodated in empty houses in the village, with the village head arranging their daily needs. He was busier than ever and always in high spirits, showing no signs of pressure.

Indeed, Situ Yongjie had provided silver for their food expenses. Although the village head repeatedly said it wasn’t necessary, the General stuffed it into his embrace. From this, it was clear that Situ Yongjie was a clean official.

Furthermore, since the founding of Mo Family Village, except for the visit by the county magistrate on one previous occasion, they had never had high officials visit. And now, an extraordinary event had occurred! A high official from the Capital, no less a General, and Xuexue’s natural father, was among them. Such good fortune was to be recorded in the family annals, letting future generations know the village’s once glorious history.

The Mo Family

Old Lady Mo had been beaten with a stick by Situ Yongjie a few days earlier and had been carried home, where she lay in bed nursing her wounds.

It wasn’t until the following day that she found out Xuexue was the General’s own daughter, which scared her greatly. Only then did she realize that the beating she had received was well-deserved.

After all, cursing someone’s daughter as a “cheap wench” in front of her father was courting death. A beating was already lenient; had it been another hot-tempered official, they might have chopped off her head on the spot.

Immediately, she had Old Master Mo call a family meeting.

Because Old Lady Mo’s backside was injured and she couldn’t walk, everyone had to come to her room to discuss the matter.

“Qiangqiang, did you know about Xuexue’s background?” Old Master Mo asked Mo Xiaoqiang about Xuexue’s origins as soon as he sat down.

Mo Xiaoqiang was also completely stunned. He had only just found out himself.

“That cursed woman kept such a big secret from us,” Old Lady Mo gritted her teeth with resentment.
