I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies Chapter 309 – 309 Are You Serious?

309 Are You Serious?

“Sister-in-law, it’s fine as long as you understand what I mean. I was a little anxious just now, so I said something wrong.”

As Madam Wang spoke, she pretended to wipe her eyes and said while sobbing, “Sister-in-law, which family in our village isn’t happily buying new year’s goods in preparation for the new year? Look at our house, it’s cold and deserted. Not to mention the new year’s goods, there’s not even a few grains of rice to put in the pot. How can we celebrate the new year?”

“You should have gone to look for Qin Xu instead of wasting your time looking for me.”

Mo Ruyue would not listen to her. She was not the one who caused the current situation of the Qin family’s second branch. She could go to whoever was the culprit!

Aunt Liu also came out of the kitchen. She leaned over to Mo Ruyue’s ear and whispered, “Lady Qin, why don’t you give her some rice and meat and send her away? Before this, she didn’t just make a scene in front of the village head’s house. She’s also made a scene in many of our village’s families with a little bit of surplus food.”

“But she won’t ask for much. Just give her some food and she’ll leave.”

Mo Ruyue shook her head. This kind of compromise was not the fundamental solution.

Others were afraid of Madam Wang making a scene, but she wasn’t. She wanted to see if Madam Wang would dare to bring her son and daughter to her house to hang themselves if she really refused!

Although Aunt Liu’s voice was soft, Madam Née Wang could still hear a few words. She didn’t wait for Mo Ruyue to speak and immediately shook her head and waved her hand. “No, no, Aunt Liu, you misunderstood me. I’m not here to ask for anything. I want to ask Sister-in-law to help me get something from my mother-in-law!”

“You’re not thinking about the key to the Qin family’s money box, are you?” Mo Ruyue’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Madam Wang “smiled bitterly”. “Sister-in-law, it’s not that I want to have that idea. This suggestion was made by my mother-in-law herself.”

Next, she explained the sequence of events.

Let’s go back to the 26th of December.

Madam Wang’s eyes immediately turned red when she saw three carriages full of new year’s goods stop at Mo Ruyue’s house.

She looked at how others were earning a pot full of money and could celebrate the new year in full bloom. Then she looked at how her own family was almost unable to feed. As long as she thought about how the Qin family became like this after Mo Ruyue sent Qin Shi to prison, her heart felt like it was scratched by a cat. She wanted to rush to the Qin family’s first household and snatch everything.

However, when she thought of Mo Ruyue’s methods, she immediately gave up on this idea and turned her eyes to another family.

Soon, Madam Wang was standing outside the village head’s house. This time, she did not cry anymore. She held a bamboo stool in one hand and a hemp rope in the other. She stood under a crooked tree not far from the door, threw the hemp rope in her hand onto a branch, and then tied a dead knot.

Just as she stepped on the bamboo stool, the village head, who had received the news, rushed out of the courtyard and roared, “Second Qin’s Wife, what are you doing!”

Madam Wang’s reaction was extremely fast. She quickly stood on the bamboo stool, put her head into the rope, and threatened, “Don’t come any closer. If you come any closer, I’ll die in front of you!”

She pretended to kick the bamboo stool, and as expected, the village chief was so frightened that he stopped in his tracks.

The hemp rope Madam Wang chose was the thickest kind of rope. Once she was hung up, the weight of her body and the tightened hemp rope would immediately snap her neck, leaving her no chance to save her.

She was afraid that the rope she chose was too thin and would give the village chief a chance to save her. If she was saved directly, she would not be able to pose a threat at all.

Therefore, she deliberately chose the thickest rope so that the village chief could judge how determined she was to “die” at a glance. This way, he would not dare to act rashly.

But Madam Née Wang also had to be extra careful not to really kick over the bamboo stool. That would really make things worse, and she would have to die even if she didn’t want to.

Fortunately, everything was going according to her plan. The village chief had indeed judged that they could not go forward to save the people, so when he heard her words, he immediately stopped and shouted, “Second Qin’s Wife, don’t be impulsive! We can discuss everything, don’t do anything stupid!”

The other villagers who had been alarmed also came out of their houses one after another. When they saw this scene, they were all stunned.

Although Madam Wang had also threatened to hang herself at the drop of a hat in the past, she had always only said it verbally. As time passed, no one believed her. However, no one had expected that she would actually put it into action today.

Just as everyone was gathering around them, the village chief was still busy preventing them from getting too close. He was afraid that they would frighten Madam Wang and cause her to hang herself in the midst of panic.

“Back off, back off! No one is allowed to come over!”

He shouted at the top of his lungs. It was obviously the coldest day of the winter, but he was sweating all over. In the blink of an eye, the inner clothes on his body were soaked through by cold sweat.

The new year was just around the corner. If someone were to die at this time, the entire village would not be able to celebrate the new year in peace. As the village chief and the clan leader, he would not be able to answer to the entire clan.

The onlooking villagers stopped in their tracks and stood far away. No one took another step closer, but their discussion still reached Madam Wang’s ears.

“Why are you here again? It seems like you’re serious this time?”

“What bad luck. The new year is coming. If you want to die, you should die in the back mountain. Why let everyone be infected with bad luck?”

“That’s right. This happens every two or three days. I don’t believe that she would really abandon her son and daughter to die!”

Although such voices were the majority, there were also some voices full of worry. “Don’t say anymore. If Madam Wang heard this and provoked her to death, what would we do?”

“Sigh. She has been living a good life for so long, but now she’s like this. She’s been holding it in for too long. It’s all because of that Qin Xu. He didn’t care about his wife and children and was forced to court death. Isn’t he afraid of retribution?”

When Madam Wang heard these words, her heart was also desolate. However, when she thought of her purpose in coming here, her heart immediately hardened.

It was because she had a son and a daughter that she had to do this. Even if the whole village looked down on her, she would do it!

“Big Sister-in-law, don’t be impulsive. What grievances do you have? You can talk it out. I’m the patriarch of the Qin family. I won’t just stand by and do nothing.”

The village head could only soften his voice to comfort Madam Wang, but in his heart, he was already cursing her and Qin Xu.

“Village Chief, I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but the people in the village can see what kind of life my family has been living. If it wasn’t for the fact that I couldn’t survive, I wouldn’t be in this state.”

As soon as Madam Wang opened her mouth, bean-sized tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Yes, yes, yes. We all saw it. That’s why everyone is trying their best to help your family. You’re going to hang yourself the moment you arrive, and you don’t even give us a reason. How can we help you?”

The village chief quickly followed her words and at the same time, took a step forward.

“Village Chief, I know that everyone pitied us, so they gave us some rice to fill our stomachs, but this isn’t the solution! It’s not like the second branch of the Qin family doesn’t have money or property deeds. How could my children and I starve to death? I won’t accept this, even if I become a ghost!”
