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

Looking For A Good Job

Da Bao looked at her in surprise. This woman used to be vicious and petty, but after her personality changed, she became very cold and impatient. Why did she look so… gentle today?

He shook his head violently and thought to himself that he couldn’t be fooled by this illusion. When had this woman ever been gentle? She was just a little softer when she spoke, not gentle at all.

Mo Ruyue did not know that Da Bao’s heart was boiling like water. She fed Si Bao spoonful by spoonful until he had drunk more than half a bowl of the soup. She wiped the medicine stains on his lips and stood up.

“Alright, don’t disturb him. Let him have a good sleep. Everything will be fine when he wakes up. Mother has something to do and needs to go out for a while. If I come back late, you two can cook first. ”

After Mo Ruyue warned the babies, she was ready to go out.

She had just walked into the courtyard when Da Bao’s voice came from behind her. “You’re going to the Qin family?”

“Why are you so curious? Look after your brothers and sister. Don’t keep staring at me.”

Even though Mo Ruyue said this, she was secretly shocked by Da Bao’s sharp intuition. She didn’t know how he thought of it. Could it be that she couldn’t even hide her thoughts now?

Today, although she had used the power of the villagers to force Qin Shi to split up, that old woman would certainly not be willing to leave just like that.

She was indeed preparing to go to the Qin family to find out the truth.

Of course, she couldn’t just walk in through the front door, but that didn’t stop her.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and there were almost no people walking around in the village. Almost everyone was preparing dinner at home. Mo Ruyue lifted a corner of her skirt and stuffed it into the belt around her waist. She then tightened her sleeves to reduce the hindrance when she moved.

The Qin family’s new house was said to be new, but it had actually been built two years ago. It had high walls and a large courtyard, green bricks, and black tiles. It looked much more magnificent than the average villager’s house.

Mo Ruyue walked to the back of the house and raised her hand. A cold light shot out from her wrist and firmly locked onto the top of the wall. Her hand drooped down and pressed on a certain part of her wrist. Her whole body rose into the air and quietly flipped over a wall that was half the height of a person.

There was something like a bracelet on her wrist. It was a pocket-sized arrow that she had made according to the blueprint in the tool room. Compared to the one she had used to kill the tiger, it was smaller and more hidden. Not only could it carry her to fly on roofs and walk on walls, but it also had more powerful killing power.

After she got on the wall, she first observed whether there were dogs in the yard. She didn’t know if Qin Shi was particularly confident in her high wall, but there were no dogs in the yard, which saved Mo Ruyue a lot of trouble.

She shot another arrow at the roof, and with the momentum of pulling the rope back, she nimbly jumped up to the roof.

Even if the tiles on the roof had not been removed, Mo Ruyue could already hear the wailing from inside the house. After the second branch’s daughter-in-law, Madam Wang, heard the thunderbolt from a clear sky that her mother-in-law had brought back, she had already been crying for nearly the time it took to burn an incense stick.

“Don’t cry. It’s so annoying. If crying could save the house and land, I would have cried a long time ago! What’s the use of crying now?”

Qin Shi’s sharp voice came from the room, but it only made Wang Shi’s crying a little softer, but it did not stop.

“Mother, you, why did you go to that house to rummage through things? Now, great, we didn’t get the money, and even our big house and land have to be compensated! W-what do you want me to say about you!”

The second son of the Qin family was called Qin Xu. He had a gentle face, but his eyes were rolling around.

He was obviously a very restless person.

He didn’t have a proper business student and disdained to work in the fields. He couldn’t stay in the village, so he often went to the county town’s Tavern to stay for a day and often came back drunk.

Today, he had heard from a drinking friend that there was a good job that could earn him more than twenty taels of silver a month. However, if he wanted to make use of the connections to get favors, he would have to use fifty taels of silver first. Thus, it was rare that he did not drink and rushed back home in high spirits. He wanted to get more silver from the Qin family.

In the end, before he entered the house, he heard his wife’s heart-wrenching cries and the cries of two children mixed in. Qin Shi kept smashing bowls and jumping up and down, scolding the first branch’s orphans and widows.

He still didn’t know what had happened. After asking, he found out that the sky had collapsed on the day he had been out.

Such a big house and ten acres of land were gone just like that. Would he have to bring his wife, children, and mother back to that gloomy and leaking old house?

He definitely couldn’t stand it!

“What, you’re blaming me now?”

Qin Shi had a stomach full of anger that she had nowhere to vent. At this moment, when she heard her son’s accusation, her heart instantly felt like it was being cut by a knife.

“You want three taels today and five taels tomorrow. How much silver do we have for you to take out? Do you know how much money your elder brother left behind? If I don’t go out and grab some money, am I supposed to wait for my family die?”

Qin Xu’s face turned red from being scolded by Qin Shi, and it was in front of his wife and children. This made him even more embarrassed. His eyes instantly turned red, and he said in anger, “Mother, what are you saying? I’m going out to find a good job. When the time comes, I’ll bring you, manzhi, and the children into the city to enjoy life!”

“Hmph, enjoy? I think our family’s fortune is about to be squandered away by you. ”

Qin Shi sneered and said sarcastically, “You’ve been drunk all day, and yet you can still walk the mountain road to sneak home. Why didn’t you ask the wolf to dig for you? Good job. With your illiterate character, what kind of a good job can you get?”

“There really is one. I came back early to discuss it with you! Oh right, let’s not talk about the house first. Mother, help me gather fifty taels of silver. As long as I make some connections, I can earn more than twenty taels a month!”

Qin Xu thought of his “proper business” again and hurriedly told Qin Shi. He didn’t expect Qin Shi to open her eyes wide and send a slap flying at him.

With a crisp “slap” sound and a lingering echo, Qin Xu’s face was smacked to the side. His face quickly became red and swollen, and a few obvious finger marks appeared. It was obvious that Qin Shi had used all her strength in this slap.

Qin Xu was a little dazed from the slap. He saw stars in front of his eyes, and one side of his face was already numb, but he couldn’t feel any pain at all.

He only recovered after a long time. He looked at Qin Shi in disbelief and said with a crooked mouth,

“Mother, why did you hit me like that?”

“Hit you? Hitting you is a light punishment. I should kill you!”

Qin Shi was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She pointed at Qin Xu’s nose and scolded,

“We can’t even keep our house and land, and you’re still telling me to raise fifty taels of silver for you? Do you think it’s enough for me to give you my life? What kind of precious work could let you earn fifty taels of silver a month? Don’t be tricked to death by someone!”

“I’m confident this will definitely succeed!”

Qin Xu’s mouth was slanted, and his words were also unclear. He moved his cheeks left and right to feel that the numbness on his face had faded a lot, then he said again, “Mother, I’m not lying to you this time! The person who introduced me to the job went in one step before me. Now, he earns 20 taels of silver every month, and he can eat and drink well every day. He’s living a very comfortable life. If I didn’t treat him to drinks so often, I wouldn’t have had such a good opportunity!”
