I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

154 The Preparations Before Leaving

Mo Ruyue didn’t drive the mule cart back this time. Instead, she went to the carriage and horse shop to rent a fast horse. Although the speed of the mule cart wasn’t slow, it was still far from that of a fast horse.

Now was not the time to drive the car on the road to kill time, but to try to grab as much time as possible. It was not that Mo Ruyue did not believe in Imperial Doctor Tian’s ability, but rather than believing in outsiders, she chose to believe in herself.

When she rushed home, Du Zhongheng was telling the babies about the stories in “historical records” when they suddenly heard the neighing of horses outside the door. Everyone was shocked.

Very quickly, Mo Ruyue rushed into the “classroom” and said to Du Zhongheng apologetically, “Mr. Dean, I’m sorry to disturb you. I have something very important to tell the babies. It will probably take a little bit of your time.”

“Please go ahead, Lady Qin. It’s almost time for the break, so it’s fine to withdraw some.”

Du Zhongheng glanced at the courtyard and saw that Mo Ruyue had returned on a fast horse. It was obvious that the matter was very urgent. He understood the principle of “emergency and authority”, so he would not pick on her on this matter.

“Mother, is there an emergency?”

Da Bao had become extremely calm and steady now. He would never fight with his siblings for the right to speak on ordinary matters. However, seeing that his mother had rushed back in such a hurry today that she didn’t even take the horse she rented, the situation must be quite urgent.

“Mother told you before that there’s going to be a major operation today. I can tell you now that the operation was a success.”

Mo Ruyue first threw out a piece of good news, and before the babies could start cheering, he continued, “The surgery is a success, but it doesn’t mean that the patient is completely out of danger. The next two days will be a critical period. Mother must personally take care of her to prevent any unexpected situations from happening.”

“In other words, you’ll have to take care of yourselves at home for the next two days.”

After Mo Ruyue’s words, the babies’ smiles froze. No one had expected her to bring back such news.

“I’ll ask Uncle and Aunt Liu next door to help take care of Tang Tang later. Tang Tang can stay at Aunt Liu’s house for the next two nights. Send her over after you’re done with your evening class and pick her up the next morning.”

Mo Ruyue had already thought about this. The Liu couple next door also really loved children, so asking them to take care of Tang Tang was the most suitable choice.

“Da Bao, when I’m not at home, you have to take on the responsibility of an elder brother and help Si Bao prepare her three meals a day. You can’t fall behind on your morning and evening homework. You can’t fall behind on the cultural lessons that you learn from teacher either.”

“After you send Tang Tang to Grandpa Liu’s house, you have to activate the mechanism when you come back. At night, close the doors and windows and be careful. Do you understand? ”

Mo Ruyue then turned to Da Bao and especially warned him.

“I will. It’s my responsibility to take care of my younger siblings.”

Da Bao originally had another sentence to say, that when Mo Ruyue didn’t care about them in the past, everyone was together and struggled to survive. But now, this sentence was obviously not appropriate. Besides, it was equivalent to provocation.

Mo Ruyue didn’t notice Da Bao’s strange behavior. She was still thinking if she had missed something. It was best to make arrangements before she left so that she wouldn’t regret it after realizing it.

She quickly ran through the entire process and nodded. “Alright, babies, Mother is going to discuss this matter with Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu now. You guys should focus on your lessons with Sir and not be distracted.”

“Go according to Mother’s plan and make arrangements for your life. Mother will be back in two days.”

She had wanted to leave after saying that, but she turned back and kissed each baby.

When it was Da Bao’s turn, although he had also “tried his best” to struggle, the strength he used was completely different from the strength he used to drag a cart full of items. To Mo Ruyue, it was more like a mosquito bite and could be ignored.

Even if Da Bao struggled with all his might, she could easily subdue him. Hence, the final result was that Da Bao’s left and right cheeks and forehead were kissed ruthlessly before it was over.

“Mr. Du, you can continue with the class. I’m leaving.”

This time, Mo Ruyue officially bid farewell to Du Zhongheng and hurriedly led the horse to the Liu family next door.

When the Liu couple heard Mo Ruyue’s intentions, they immediately agreed. Now, the relationship between the two families was the closest in the village, and they also visited each other the most frequently.

After the two elders’ incense offerings were cut off at home, they had already regarded Mo Ruyue’s five lively and lovely babies as spiritual sustenance. Now that they had the opportunity to personally take care of Tang Tang, it was exactly what they had been looking for.

“Lady Qin, don’t mention two days, even if it’s two weeks or two months, you can rest assured. We will definitely take good care of Tang Tang and the four boys.”

Aunt Liu only realized that her words were a little inappropriate after she finished speaking. She smiled apologetically at Mo Ruyue. After all, she had something urgent to attend to, so she temporarily entrusted the baby to her. However, what she said just now made it sound as if she didn’t want the child anymore.

“Then I’ll have to trouble the two of you. I still have to rush back as soon as possible. When the matter is over, I’ll personally come to thank the two of you.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t have time to say anything else. Now, the situation could change every minute and every second she left. So after hastily thanking the Liu couple, she got on her horse and galloped towards the county town again.

Mo Ruyue hurried back to the county. Fortunately, the old woman who had just finished the operation was still in a deep sleep, and there was no sudden situation.

There were no monitoring devices in this time and space, so the patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, etc. could be monitored at any time. It depended on the human eye and experience. Therefore, these 48 hours were even more difficult to endure than the ICU in her previous life.

Mo Ruyue was already mentally prepared for this. With her current physical condition, it was not a big deal to stay in it for two days. She would feel a little sleepy after it was over, and she would recover after boiling a bowl of soup to restore her energy or eating some food.

“Lady Qin, it’s been hard on you today. I’ll take your place tomorrow so you won’t be too tired.”

After Imperial Doctor Tian told Mo Ruyue about the situation when she left, he added another sentence to her.

It was already quite late by the time the surgery was completed. Mo Ruyue had gone home again, and it was almost time for the clinic to close not long after he returned.

Imperial Doctor Tian wanted to go home after he finished explaining the situation. At night, only Mo Ruyue, her little assistant, and two other medicine boys who had been assigned to her, stayed to take care of the unconscious old woman.

“Elder Tian, don’t worry and go back to rest. I’m young and my body can take it. It’s just that it’s my turn to give medical services tomorrow, so I’m afraid I can’t participate. I have to keep an eye on this side so that I can deal with it in time if anything happens.”

Mo Ruyue had asked for leave from Imperial Doctor Tian in advance. Although it was fine for her to work on both sides, this was the first surgery she had performed in this time and space, so she wanted to be stable. Anyway, she was only missing a consultation for one day.
