    Chapter 212: Leave This Matter to Mother to Arrange

    The rabbit cages were simple in design, and there was no way to tell that they weren't from this era. Besides, with the foreigners as scapegoats, they had nothing to worry about being criticized.

    After purchasing the cages, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran got busy.

    They first assembled five small cages, each capable of housing twenty juvenile rabbits.

    Then, they set up ten more for the adult rabbits, with ten rabbits per cage.

    There were plenty of cages, so they would have the adult rabbits squeeze in for now, making it easier for transportation the next day.

    Once settled, they would redistribute them accordingly.

    As for the pet rabbits, they were gifts He Zhiran planned to give to Mo Hanyue. Naturally, their accommodations couldn't be compromised.

    Each pair of rabbits would reside in one cage.

    He Zhiran had witnessed Fan Tuan'er's 'management skills' today, so she decided to further assess whether the little critter truly possessed such abilities.

    Fan Tuan'er was currently sitting at the warehouse entrance, munching on a carrot.

    Upon hearing its master call, it reluctantly tossed the carrot aside and trotted over to her.

    It first put on an adorable display, and once it saw its master smiling, the little fellow sat upright, waiting for instructions.

    "Fan Tuan'er, can you round up these rabbits into the cages?"

    "Mm." After the fourth tone response, the little critter sprang into action.

    It waved its fluffy, short arms and called out to the rabbits frolicking in the grass.

    An astonishing scene unfolded.

    All the rabbits ceased their activities, cautiously looking towards the source of the sound before scurrying into the cages en masse.

    While they all entered the cages, it was far from He Zhiran's original plan.

    The rabbits didn't differentiate between size; they simply rushed into any available cage, causing chaos.

    Even the breed rabbits were no exception, with the large Angora giant rabbits squeezed together with a group of less than a month old bunnies, barely moving.

    This sight thoroughly amused Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.

    Despite Fan Tuan'er's subpar job, it had proven that the little critter indeed possessed some skills.

    At this moment, Fan Tuan'er proudly approached He Zhiran, burying itself in her embrace while emitting soft whimpers, seemingly asking for a reward.

    Such an adorable little critter deserved a reward.

    He Zhiran glanced at the bamboo grove she had planted. Although not yet tall, it didn't affect the size of the bamboo shoots.

    With a flick of her mind, she summoned many fresh and juicy bamboo shoots, so many that they nearly buried Fan Tuan'er's plump body.

    Indeed, pandas loved bamboo shoots the most.

    Seeing the abundance of fresh and delicious bamboo shoots, Fan Tuan'er promptly forgot about its master.

    The little critter swiftly grabbed a bamboo shoot and began feasting.

    Taking advantage of the situation, He Zhiran used her mind to reclassify the rabbits' accommodations.

    After finishing these tasks, she and Mo Jiuye washed up and returned to their long-missed bed for rest.

    Having been busy throughout the day, they were genuinely exhausted. Soon, the embracing couple fell into a deep sleep.

    The next morning, He Zhiran woke up early.

    She planned to use the stored lobsters in the space to make lobster porridge for her family.

    Due to time constraints, He Zhiran didn't intend to create anything fancy with the lobsters. In her previous life, waking up to a bowl of lobster porridge loaded with shrimp meat was already considered luxurious.

    Moreover, the Mo family had become accustomed to frugality. Preparing some lobster porridge, baking a few scallion pancakes, and adding a refreshing side dish made for an economical and practical breakfast.

    The sisters-in-law were used to rising early to prepare breakfast for the family, but they didn't expect the ninth sister-in-law to beat them to it today.

    Everyone gradually arrived in the kitchen to assist, and before long, they had prepared this unique breakfast.

    Naturally, the breakfast received unanimous praise from the family.

    After breakfast, Mo Chuhan arranged to accompany them to transport the items purchased from the foreigners to their home.

    Logically, having more people help with the numerous items in the warehouse was beneficial.

    However, Mo Jiuye didn't plan to take his eighth brother along. Last night, Ranran had prepared so many live rabbits, which couldn't be left out in the open.

    Without a proper shelter, at least a temporary shed to protect them from wind and rain needed to be constructed.

    "Eight Brother, I'll take Liang Hao and the others to the city. Today, I'll trouble you to hire some people from the village to come over and build a shed in the backyard."

    Mo Chuhan was somewhat puzzled. "Ninth Brother, why do we need to build a shed?"

    "Have you forgotten, Eight Brother? Yesterday, we bought so many rabbits from the foreigners, so we naturally need to construct a shelter."

    Unable to join his ninth brother and sister-in-law in transporting goods, Mo Chuhan felt somewhat disappointed.

    Since settling in Xiling Village, he hadn't had the chance to explore the city and experience its customs and culture.

    Especially since he would soon be working as a constable at the government office, it was essential to familiarize himself with the local conditions.

    But what Ninth Brother said was also important. Not only had Eldest Brother lost his memory, but his health hadn’t fully recovered either.

    In this family, only he and Ninth Brother were capable of handling matters. There was nothing wrong with him taking care of these things.

    Just as Mo Chuhan was about to agree, Old Madam Mo approached.

    "Jiuye, take your Eighth Brother into the city with you. Isn't it just setting up a shed? Leave this matter to me."

    No one in the Mo family would deny the capabilities of their old matriarch.

    Hadn't she single-handedly supported the once-mighty Duke Protector's Mansion?

    Surely, setting up a shed would be no problem for her.

    But she was, after all, elderly and had endured a long period of exile. Mo Chuhan couldn't bear to let his mother continue to toil.

    "Mother, allow your son to accompany you to speak with the two clan leaders first. Once everything is arranged over there, you'll only need to oversee things with the sisters-in-law."

    Old Madam Mo knew her son was filial and didn't want her to work too hard.

    "I'm still quite robust, and handling some matters is not an issue."

    Seeing that his mother had spoken thus, Mo Chuhan and Mo Jiuye gladly accepted.

    Mo Jiuye took Old Madam Mo to the backyard to select a suitable location and instructed on the size of the shed.

    Taking advantage of the opportunity, He Zhiran released Fan Tu from her spatial ring.

    She had noticed that the little critter didn't like being alone. Leaving it by itself in the spatial ring made it unhappy.

    Since she and Mo Jiuye were going out and couldn't bring the little critter along, they could only temporarily entrust it to Mo Hanyue's care.

    After arranging everything at home, the couple set off with Mo Chuhan, driving the donkey cart to Yun City.

    Liang Hao and the others followed closely behind the donkey cart using their lightness kung fu.

    Upon entering Yun City, Mo Chuhan immediately set about selling those hunted animals.

    This suited Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran's intentions perfectly.

    They could use this opportunity to go to the warehouse first and put the prepared rabbits inside.
