I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies Chapter 42 – 42 You Still Want To Control Me?

42 You Still Want To Control Me?

Although Qin Shi was old and couldn’t move stuff much, she didn’t even help out cleaning the old house. She only ordered people to clean the dust and sweep the floor, which annoyed everyone and made them secretly roll their eyes at her.

It wasn’t until everything had been moved that Qin Shi looked at everyone and said, “Alright, that’s all for today. We really can’t move those big pieces of equipment out. I hope it didn’t really tire everyone out. It’s just cleaning the dust and sweeping the floor. It’s not really a hard job for you guys, right?”

“I saw that everyone said they had something to do, so let’s get back to work. I’ll just take second brother and the others to handle the rest.”

As Qin Shi spoke, she actually turned around and entered the courtyard, closing the door behind her.

The villagers who had come to help looked at each other. They were all stunned by her series of actions.

She didn’t even thank them, let alone offer them tea. Instead, she was acting as if it wasn’t much of a hassle for them, and she would have been able to do it herself.

So, this meant that they had helped a loner. It was like a warm face met with a cold butt, and they had delivered themselves to the door to help.

Almost everyone exploded with anger. They wanted to curse at the closed door but felt they could not compete with such an influential person.

In the end, some people couldn’t help but spit and walk away, cursing their bad luck.

With the first person taking the lead, the people behind followed suit. For a moment, there was a “rain of saliva” in front of the Qin Family’s old house. However, Qin Shi, who was in the courtyard, did not know about it. She was still self-satisfied that she had taken advantage of the entire village.

On the other hand, Mo Ruyue had already brought Er Bao to the county town. She was quick. Er Bao could not keep up with her. Mo Ruyue simply carried him on her back. She walked as if she was flying. After walking for dozens of miles, she still did not flush or pant when he reached the county town’s gate. Er Bao was really stunned.

“Mother, when did your body become so strong? In the past, you liked to lie on the bed all day and would pant heavily after a few steps. How are you so fast now?”

He looked up at Mo Ruyue, his eyes glistening. He said anxiously, “Mother, if we practice martial arts with you, will we be able to be like you in the future?”

“This is nothing. Follow me and learn. You can do better.”

Mo Ruyue said without a care.

Now, she would wake the five babies up early every morning to practice martial arts basic skills such as standing stance. Only with a good foundation could the martial arts practice be stable.

“I want to learn from my mother. Take that noose, for example. Big brother can even use it to trap pheasants. Next time, I want to trap a rabbit!”

Er Bao said while shaking his head. It was as if he could transform into an expert in making a set of ropes the next second after he finished speaking. Mo Ruyue kept nodding as she watched.

Why did this child have silly ambitions? Was a noose enough to satisfy him?

Mo Ruyue lowered her head and glanced at her wrist. That pocket-sized sleeve dart was tied to it. If Er Bao saw it, he would go crazy with excitement.

Since it was already quite late when the two of them left the house, they arrived in the county precisely at noon. Mo Ruyue was not in a hurry to bring Er Bao shopping. Instead, she brought him directly to Guanglai Building.

The waiter in the building naturally recognized her and immediately greeted her warmly, “Isn’t this Mrs. Qin? How are you free today to drop by?”

Mo Ruyue patted Er Bao’s shoulder. “I’m here to buy some things and to bring my son out for a meal.”

“This is your son? Why does it look different from the one that came last time?”

The waiter asked curiously as he led the mother and son duo inside.

“This is second brother. I brought him out for a walk.”

Mo Ruyue’s expression was indifferent when he spoke. It was neither warm nor cold and had a sense of alienation that kept strangers away. When the waiter saw that she had no desire to talk to him, he tactfully stopped talking and led the mother and son duo to a table to sit down and then brought the menu over.

“There’s no need for us to look. Just pick a few of your good dishes and bring them over. ”

Although Mo Ruyue felt that the food outside might not be as good as the food she made, she rarely brought Er Bao out. At least, she should let him have a taste.

“Alright, please have a seat. Your food will be ready soon.”

The waiter took the menu and left. Er Bao sat on the chair and looked around excitedly.

It was his first time eating in such a luxurious place, but he didn’t feel uncomfortable. He even stuck his head over to Mo Ruyue and asked in a low voice, “Mother, isn’t a meal here expensive? Big brother told me to keep an eye on you. He’ll be angry if he finds out that I’m spending money with you, right?”

“Just eat your food. Even he can’t control me, and you want to control me?”

Mo Ruyue glanced at him, and what she said made Er Bao agree with her. He nodded and said, “Yes, yes. When big brother came out with you, didn’t he bring back truckloads of those things home? I don’t see him being able to control you, let alone me. Mother, this reason is good. This time I am not afraid of being hit on the back of eldest brother’s head.”

While they were talking, the waiter had already come back to serve the dishes.

“Stir-fried deer meat, stewed beef tongue, sautéed ants, and assorted vegetables. Mrs. Qin, these are the signature dishes of our restaurant. Would you like to try them?”

When Mo Ruyue saw the dishes, she knew that the waiter had not served the most expensive dishes. Otherwise, it would not be enough even if she had brought a hundred taels of silver for this meal.

“Pay the bill first, and then you don’t have to worry about our table.”

As Mo Ruyue spoke, she took out another five copper coins and placed them on the table. She pushed them in front of the waiter and said, “This is your tip, you can go ahead.”

The waiter’s face immediately bloomed into a smile. He knew that his guess was correct. Although these dishes were not the most expensive in the restaurant, they tasted good and were very presentable when served. Now, he saw that it was indeed so.

He hurriedly took the money, thanked her, and left. Soon, he came back with the bill, which was exactly one tael of silver.

“Mother, this meal is so expensive? One tael of silver, if we eat wild game meat every day, won’t we have spent a lot of silver?”

Er Bao’s eyes immediately widened when he heard the amount of money for the meal. He lowered his head and counted with his fingers to figure out how much the wild game meat they usually ate was worth.

“Let’s eat quickly. There are still many things to buy after eating. We have to rush back earlier today. Let’s strive to move to the new house tomorrow!”

Mo Ruyue urged and took the lead to pick up the chopsticks. Er Bao also obediently stopped bending his fingers and lowered his head to eat.

As the two started eating, they suddenly heard someone on the next table say, “Hey, I heard that the grocery store on our East Street is going to clear its stock today. That shopkeeper was doing well, so why did he suddenly quit?”

“Who knows? I heard that there was a disaster in his hometown, so he was in a hurry to get the money for the emergency. But it won’t be easy to come across such a good deal in the future.”

“I was wondering why so many people were noisily going there in the morning. It turns out they went to pick up some cheap goods. I don’t know what’s left now. It’s a pity that I had something to do at that time. Otherwise, I would’ve gone to snatch some things too. ”

“Aiya, let’s finish it quickly. Let’s go and take a look. Maybe we can find something.”

After the two finished speaking, they buried their heads and gobbled up the food. Soon, they left, leaving behind the table full of leftovers.
