Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 156 - Facing Death
Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Facing Death Chapter 156 -156 Facing Death “That’s strange,” Madam Xie was extremely puzzled, “although Old Master Mo is the village’s Wealthy Master, he wouldn’t just squander silver. Besides the Village Chief’s House, he has never given such many gifts to any family.”
In the countryside, there are hardly any secrets; whatever small events happen in one household, the whole village would quickly know.
“Don’t think too much, Mother. Since he has sent them, we should just accept them,”
“Is that really okay?”
Madam Xie picked up a piece of silk fabric, touched it, and felt its smooth, comfortable texture. She couldn’t help but look surprised. She had been too busy attending to Old Money Mo earlier and hadn’t taken a close look at these gifts, “Goodness gracious! Such fine fabric, it must be worth quite a lot of silver, right?”
“This fabric, it’s worth at least several taels of silver.” In her past life, having returned to the General’s Mansion, Xuexue had seen all kinds of fabrics and could tell the value of the silk with just one glance.
“Oh my goodness, that expensive!” Hearing this, Madam Xie was instantly scared, somewhat flustered, “Xuexue, what should we do? Should we return it?”
Countryside families, even after scrimping and saving for a year, couldn’t spare more than a few Copper Coins; several taels of Silver really was an astronomical price. It’s no wonder Madam Xie felt uneasy receiving such a valuable gift without any apparent reason.
“Return what? Old Master Mo sent them over willingly, and we didn’t ask for them. The wealthy families care about their reputation; if we return them, Old Master Mo won’t be happy.” With the New Year approaching, Xuexue didn’t want to give them back.
“Is that so!”
Madam Xie thought it over and agreed. Rich folks tend to be peculiar; as they were weak and outnumbered, it would be better not to offend him.
“Sigh! Receiving such valuable gifts for no reason, who knows when we’ll be able to return the favor. Maybe we should cook a meal to properly entertain Old Master Mo,” Madam Xie muttered to herself as she picked up a cage of chickens, preparing to cook.
These chickens were also part of the gifts sent over by Old Master Mo along with the other presents.

Main Hall
Old Master Mo stared at Big Bull without saying a word.
Big Bull felt uncomfortable under his gaze, “Hehe… Old Master Mo, if you have any questions, just ask. I am waiting here for you to ask.”
“Look around this room; besides me and you, is there anyone else here?” Old Money Mo’s triangular eyes stared intensely at Big Bull, hoping to detect a hint of something.
Big Bull looked around; apart from a few children on Old Money Mo’s back, there were only him and Old Money Mo in the room. But his wife had said not to tell, which made him somewhat confused.
Big Bull thought hard and lowered his head, “Err…!”
“Idiot, he’s tricking you,” the little girl on Old Money Mo’s back said as if watching a play.
Hearing this, Big Bull immediately looked up at the little girl, “Huh? What should I do then?”
The little girl curled her lip, “You’re silly, just say there’s no one, only you and him is enough.”
Big Bull naïvely nodded, “Oh! Alright then.”
“Big Bull, who are you talking to?” Old Money Mo was clearly panicked. Did he really have a few children on his back? His heart was filled with terror.
“No one, I’m talking to you, am I not?” This time, Big Bull finally played it smart.
“Really?” Old Money Mo’s tone clearly showed disbelief, but could one blame him? The strange events that had transpired over the last decade were too peculiar, it was no wonder he confronted Big Bull based on a mere word, bearing gifts and paying a visit, for he was desperate for answers.
Moreover, his health was declining day by day. He felt that if he didn’t resolve the issue soon, he would not live much longer, especially with the nightly feeling of being strangled to the point of death, which almost drove him to the edge of insanity. Now, just the sight of darkness filled him with dread, and he dared not sleep at night, fearing someone would come and choke him in his sleep.
