I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies Chapter 55 – 55 You Gave Out The Money After Locking It Up

55 You Gave Out The Money After Locking It Up

His words immediately caused an uproar.

The villagers all knew that Da Bao was telling the truth. If Mo Ruyue really wanted to get rid of the babies, she could have left them behind and run away secretly with a few hundred taels of silver in her hand. She was a widow now anyway and had nothing to do with the Qin family. No one would say anything even if she ran away. Not to mention taking the risk to kill someone. If she was caught, it would definitely be a serious crime of beheading. It was not worth it for Mo Ruyue at all.

Er Bao, who was carrying Tang Tang in his arms, also said harshly at the side, “In the beginning, Mother did abuse us, but later she went to the mountains to find Tang Tang and thought of ways to make money for us to eat and wear good clothes, no longer letting us starve or freeze. What’s wrong with that chain? Which one of us doesn’t know how to do it? Even Tang Tang knows how to tie a live knot. Don’t tell me that you’re seeking death?”

Mo Ruyue was really impressed by Er Bao’s eloquence. Usually, he would joke around with San Bao and Si Bao. It was rare to see him as serious as Da Bao or analyze something in a clear and organized manner.

More importantly, he was only nine years old. It seemed that she had really underestimated him.

“That’s right, Mother didn’t want to harm us. Last time, we were insensible and stood by the well. Mother was afraid that we would fall into the well, so she pulled us back with a noose!”

San Bao had also changed from her usual cheeky appearance. Although her teeth had not grown out yet, she still tried very hard to speak up for Mo Ruyue.

Although Si Bao was not as eloquent as his three elder brothers, he still tried his best to cooperate with San Bao and nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, that’s right!”

As for Tang Tang, she tried her best to reach out to Mo Ruyue and said, “Mother, hug, hug. I want to… hug!”

She was using her own actions to prove to everyone that Mo Ruyue was the best mother.

Mo Ruyue looked at the way her babies were trying their best to protect her and was slightly moved in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face.

She didn’t pick up her embroidered shoe. Instead, she simply put her foot on the ground and threw off the other shoe. However, her action made Qin Xu raise his hand to cover his face out of reflex. At the same time, he shrank into Qin Shi’s arms.

His action immediately caused a burst of laughter, especially the laughter of the men in the village, which was full of disdain.

They all looked down on Qin Xu, who was like a mommy’s boy at such an old age, hiding in Qin Shi’s arms for protection.

A real man should protect his parents, wife, and children. How could he hide like a cowardly turtle?

“Alright. Mo Ruyue, tonight’s incident was just a misunderstanding. Since Qin Xu has already been hit by your shoe and said that he would return the key to you, let’s just forget about this matter. It’s already late at night, so everyone should go back and rest early. Tomorrow, we still have to farm and go hunting in the mountains. ”

The village head also wanted to quickly resolve this matter so that his wife and children could go home and warm up their beds. So, he still adopted a neutral attitude towards Mo Ruyue. He was prepared to not fuss about her beating people up and also to let her not continue to pester him.

He was also prepared that Mo Ruyue would not let him off easily, but he didn’t expect Ruyue to raise an eyebrow and not object.

“Okay. We can let this matter go, but I won’t change the lock of my house. If I lose even a strand of fur from an animal in the future, I want the second branch of the Qin Family to compensate me to the end. Agree to my condition and we can let this matter go.”

As soon as Mo Ruyue finished speaking, Qin Shi immediately jumped up, pointed at her nose, and scolded, “You don’t want to change the lock, and you want to come to my house if you lose something? You’re deliberately not letting this matter be resolved!”

“The key is in my hand, so what if I don’t change the lock?”

Mo Ruyue’s one sentence left Qin Shi tongue tied. She could only glare at her fiercely, turning herself into a toad.

“Old Madam Qin, Mo Ruyue is right. Since you’ve already given her the keys, why do you still need to change the lock? Why don’t you pay for the lock and I’ll ask her to give up this request?”

It was rare for the village chief to speak up for Mo Ruyue. He also wanted to quickly resolve this matter. After all, he still had to leave some face for Second Lord Qin.

“Hmph. she’s making a lot of money now, and she still needs me to pay for the new lock? Aren’t you afraid that the neighbors will laugh their heads off if you tell them?”

As soon as Qin Shi heard that she had to pay, her expression immediately changed. Although changing the lock wouldn’t cost much, for someone like Qin Shi, it was like piercing her heart.

“Someone broke into the widow’s house at night with a hidden key in his hand. He’s even talking nonsense shamelessly. I wonder who’s not afraid of the neighbors laughing their heads off.”

Not only had Mo Ruyue never lost to anyone in terms of assassin skills, but her eloquence had also always been unforgiving, especially to people like Qin Shi who only knew how to eat but not how to fight. There was no need to give her any face at all!

“Enough! We’re not able to sleep at night and are here feeding the mosquitos. All this just to let you guys play tricks?”

The village head was really angry this time. This Old lady Qin really didn’t know what was good for her. Now, Qin Xu was caught on the spot in someone else’s courtyard. They could say whatever they wanted.

There was obviously a better solution now, but she still had to care about the loss of a dozen wen. Did she know which side was more important?

“Either we follow the Qin Family’s conditions, or you bear the cost of changing the lock and the key. Otherwise, bring Second Qin to the authorities!”

As a Village Chief, he had to deal with these trivial matters every day. It was so annoying.

When Qin Shi saw the village chief, she was really anxious. If she continued to make a scene, she would lose even this backer. Then, would there be any good fruit for her family?

She struggled for a long time before she said unwillingly, “Then… I’ll bear the cost of changing the lock.”

After she finished, Mo Ruyue said slowly, “I only have one condition, and that is to change the lock. If you don’t agree, this matter will not be over.”

She didn’t care about the Village Chief’s suggestion. Since the Village Chief was obviously biased toward the Qin Family, she didn’t need to follow him in everything. Anyway, she already had enough money in hand. Even if she couldn’t stay in the village anymore, she could still buy a house in the city and live a good life. When the time came, no matter how long the Village Chief’s arms were, he couldn’t possibly control her all the way to the county city.

When Mo Ruyue said this, the Village Chief simply felt like vomiting blood.

He felt that he had pressed the gourd and picked up the ladle. Neither of these two people could make him worry less.

Qin Shi had learned her lesson just now. Even if she felt that she had been played by Mo Ruyue again and wanted to explode in anger, she did not say a word. After all, Mo Ruyue had not only slapped her face, but also the Village Chief’s.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say!”

Qin Shi had been waiting for Mo Ruyue to be scolded with pride, but when the Village Chief opened his mouth, she was dumbfounded. Why did she have to agree to Mo Ruyue’s conditions in the end?

Before she could figure it out, the Village Chief had already turned around and walked out of the door. As he walked, he said, “Everyone can be a witness now. The Qin Family’s second branch has returned all the keys to the Qin family’s first branch. In the future, if a break-in or a robbery happens, the Qin Family’s second branch will take full responsibility. “
