I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies
Chapter 262 - 262 The Autumn Harvest262 The Autumn Harvest
“By the way, today’s table of dishes was made by Fourth Brother and us. Although we were only assistants, we also put in a lot of effort. Mother, we are very capable, right?”
Tang Tang said proudly. She wasn’t trying to claim credit for herself, but she had counted in her brothers. This made Mo Ruyue very pleased.
In her previous life, she finally had a partner who was like light and shadow to her, and she would never worry about being betrayed. In this life, she had five cute and kind babies with different personalities.
It was worth it.
Mo Ruyue smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. Let’s celebrate Grandma Liu’s birthday first. It’ll be your big brother’s birthday in a few days. In the future, we’ll celebrate every birthday of yours as a family, okay?”
“Good, good!”
Tang Tang was so excited that she wanted to jump up. However, Mo Ruyue was hugging her too tightly, so she could only stomp her feet on the spot.
Da Bao and San Bao also cheered in unison and high-fived each other in excitement.
They would be able to celebrate their birthday in the future. Mother had always kept her word and would never lie to them.
Other than Si Bao, who was still in the kitchen, there was one more person missing. Mo Ruyue looked up into the courtyard and saw Er Bao standing by the door.
He had come out as well. Although he did not jump into her arms like the others, he still moved closer to her.
Mo Ruyue nodded in relief in her heart.
She thought about how hostile they were when they “first met”, and now, Er Bao was already her right-hand man. How could she not feel relieved?
“Alright, it’s cold outside, and the dishes will get cold soon. Everyone, don’t just stand outside like a fool. Quickly go inside.”
Mo Ruyue stood up first and took the plate from Tang Tang’s hands.
“Mother, I should have put the food in the food box just now and then brought it to Grandma Liu’s house. When I heard that you were back just now, I was so happy that I forgot about it. Now that the dishes are cold, what should we do?”
Only then did Tang Tang remember the dishes in her hands. These were painstakingly made by Fourth Brother. She didn’t want everyone to miss out on them because of her. That would be a waste.
“It’s fine. Leave it to mother. I promise I won’t let this dish go to waste.”
To Mo Ruyue, heating up a dish that didn’t need to be re-heated and didn’t destroy its original taste was just a piece of cake. As long as it could make her babies happy, she was willing to do anything.
“Mm! I believe in Mother!”
Tang Tang nodded her head hard, and a big smile bloomed on her face. She looked like a sweet candy.
“San Bao, bring Big Black back to the stables. Da Bao, Tang Tang, let’s go back and help Si Bao.”
Mo Ruyue said to the babies one after another, then looked at Er Bao.
“Er Bao, help me bring the first aid kit back to the room, and then help San Bao feed Big Black. Once the food is ready and the work is done, we’ll go to Grandma Liu’s house and prepare for her birthday.
Ever since she returned from Ping City, all her troubles seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Mo Ruyue began to live a very peaceful and comfortable life.
Every day, as long as she didn’t go to the city’s Huichun Hall to give medical services, she would personally drive the carriage to and from school with the five babies. If she needed to go to the city to give medical services, it was the Liu couple who would help her.
Now that Mo Ruyue’s family and the Liu family were getting along particularly well, there were more or less some rumors spreading in the village that the Liu couple had long set their eyes on Mo Ruyue’s ability to make money and wanted to leave a way out for them in the future. That was why they had approached her step by step.
When it came to such rumors, the Liu couple would have explained it to them, but later Mo Ruyue advised them to relax their minds. It was up to others to talk, and they couldn’t stop it, so why should they trouble themselves?
The two of them couldn’t bear to part with their five sensible babies, so they listened to Mo Ruyue’s advice and only cared about their own lives. As time passed, the people who originally spread the rumors saw that they couldn’t sow discord between the two families and gradually stopped talking.
After returning home, Mo Ruyue went to the valley of treasures again and found that the wolf pack had already moved in.
There were also many caves in the valley of treasures, enough for the wolves to rest. Although the number of wolves had decreased, they had recovered from their injuries and their combat power had also been restored to a certain extent. It was not a problem for them to protect themselves.
After a period of rest and recuperation in autumn and winter, they would once again reproduce in spring. The giant wolf pack would quickly form a certain scale again.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder by the day, Mo Ruyue also began to make preparations for the winter.
It was the golden autumn, and the mountain was the time when resources were the most abundant. Mo Ruyue often stayed in the mountain for a whole day. Every time she went down the mountain, she would bring a cart full of all kinds of mountain products and wild game.
Her cart was placed on a slow platform not far away from the mountain. It was used to transport supplies in secret. She always picked the fruits in the mountain and kept them in her space. She would only transfer them to the cart when she was about to leave the mountain.
The villagers of the Qin Village were also actively preparing for the winter. Sometimes, there would be people who wanted to go into the mountains with Mo Ruyue to hunt some wild game to make smoked meat.
Mo Ruyue was also very clear about their intentions. They wanted to use her power to make them safer. If they could also get some light and hunt some big prey or the like, that would be even better.
She had only attended one or two such invitations, but she had rejected all of them. She had no obligation to be someone’s bodyguard and helper all the time, and there were only a few people in the village who were worthy of her help.
The days passed, and soon it was time for the autumn harvest.
During the separation, the eldest branch also got the eight acres of land that Qin Ming left behind after Er Bao’s persuasion.
These pieces of land, along with the ones that Old Master Qin had earned, had all been built outside for others to plant. Although Mo Ruyue had taken back eight acres of land, she didn’t have the time and couldn’t be bothered to plant it herself, so she still built it outside. Now, it was time to collect rent.
It just so happened that the private schools in the countryside would give the students a few days off during the busy farming season so that they could help the family collect food. Er Bao and the others were also on leave, so they could wait at home for the people who paid the rent.
Da Bao was prepared to be a big businessman in the future, so Mo Ruyue had also given him full authority on how to build the land and how to collect the rent in the future to train his communication and planning skills.
On the second day of the babies’ holiday, the person who delivered the rent came to their door.
It was a middle-aged couple in their forties with a little boy of five or six years old. They seemed to be living a very tight life. The clothes on their bodies were still patched up. They had been washed until they were white and thin, but they were still wearing them.
The two adults were pushing a wheelbarrow with six bulging bags on it. Inside were the grains that were supposed to be handed over to the Qin family’s first branch.
“Is Lady Qin here?”
The man peeked into the courtyard of the Qin family’s eldest branch and shouted, but he only waited outside and did not enter.
“Coming, coming.”
