She gave him a thumbs up and immediately turned back to focus on driving the carriage. Along the way, she heard the childrenâs laughter behind her, and her heart also felt relaxed and carefree.
When she left, she was in a hurry. When she came back, she was singing and laughing with light steps. She even brought a cart full of food and drinks. It was as if Mo Ruyue had not been captured to the magistrateâs office for questioning, but had brought her babies to have fun for the whole day.
However, when they returned to the Qin Family Village in this state, the entire village was dumbfounded. They even wondered if there was a problem with their memories.
So what on earth did Mo Ruyue go into the city for?
Mo Ruyue didnât go home directly, but drove the carriage to the Li Fuamilyâs courtyard.
She shouted at the babies to move the things down. Her hands were also full, and she let the smallest Tang Tang go to the door.
It was Aunt Liu who opened the door. When she saw the formation, she was really shocked.
âThis⦠Lady Qin, what are you doing?â
âAunt Liu, I have to thank you and Uncle Liu today. Youâve really helped our family a lot. The only people in the village who can still speak up for us are you two. I didnât say it before, but it doesnât mean that I didnât take it to heart.
It was rare for Mo Ruyue to smile in the village, but this time, when she faced Aunt Liu, she smiled very sincerely. Her beautiful face was particularly moving.
âAiya, thatâs nothing. You guys didnât do anything wrong. Even if you did something in the past⦠Itâs all in the past. I canât control them if theyâre unreasonable, but your Uncle Liu and I canât let our conscience down.â
Aunt Liu shook her head. She felt that although Mo Ruyue was very powerful, she was also very pitiful. She had married over at such a young age and had become a widow overnight without even seeing her husband. She had to raise five children who were not related by blood to live. Even a good person would go crazy.
But now, she had changed for the better. She saw that the familyâs mother was kind and her son was filial and happy. Their days were also getting better and better. However, she was still not liked by people. Who asked Mo Ruyue to carry the identity of a widow?
However, Aunt Liu couldnât say this to Mo Ruyue. Donât say anything about being close friends. The relationship between the two families wasnât that deep.
It wasnât that Mo Ruyue didnât see the complicated emotions in Aunt Liuâs eyes, but she didnât take it to heart. This couple had straightforward personalities and didnât have any bad intentions.
âAunt Liu, can we go in and talk? Look at the children carrying things. Theyâre all tired.â
Mo Ruyue reminded her, and Aunt Liu finally came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She quickly led them to the courtyard.
âYes, yes, yes. Come in quickly. Look at me, why am I in a daze? â
Aunt Liu said as she opened the door and made way for them. She helped the babies carry their things and muttered, âHow much did it cost to buy these things? Isnât it good to save them for the babies? â
She couldnât get it herself, so she turned to the yard and shouted, âOld Man, quickly come out and help!â
When Uncle Liu walked out of the house, he was also shocked. He immediately frowned.
âLady Qin, I didnât help you to get your thanks. What are you doing?â
Even though he said that, he still came over to take the things from the other babies.
âUncle Liu, Iâm teaching my baby how to be polite and grateful. You and Juan Zi helped us out of the kindness of your heart, so itâs only right for us to express our gratitude.â
Mo Ruyue said as she put down the things in her hands.
Originally, she had wanted to give him the money directly, but she felt that this action was inappropriate. It seemed to be slapping him in the face. She didnât want to offend him without expressing her gratitude.
Hence, she changed her method and sold a lot of daily necessities.
The Liu Familyâs life in the village was neither good nor bad. They originally had a son who went to the county to follow a caravan in the early years. He traveled all over the country to make some hard-earned money. Two years ago, it was said that he encountered mountain bandits in a mountain in the South and died.
It was a pity that he didnât even have a family, let alone any incense. Now, only the old couple were left farming. Aunt Liu had the skill of making womenâs clothes. In the village, she sewed clothes for people, or directly made clothes to sell, to support the family.
If not for Uncle Liuâs relatively strong body and his good hunting skills when he was young, and Aunt Liuâs fiery temper, the old couple would have been bullied by the villagers long ago because they didnât have any children to rely on.
Mo Ruyue wasnât a good person, but she was someone who would always repay kindness. If anyone wanted to target the Liu Family in the future, they would have to see if she agreed.
Seeing that the old couple was still a little embarrassed to accept those things, Mo Ruyue immediately gave her babies a look.
The five babies immediately stood in a line and bowed to the Liu couple in unison. They said at different speeds, âThank you, Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu.â
The old couple was stunned by their babiesâ actions, and then they couldnât help but smile. They shook their heads and waved their hands. âNo, no thanks, no thanks!â
Who could resist the cute childrenâs childlike voice of thanks?
Mo Ruyue chatted with the Liu couple for a while and finally convinced them to accept all the things. Then, she took the babies home.
Although they had only been away from home for a day, the babies were extremely excited when they returned home.
They didnât need Mo Ruyueâs instructions and took the initiative to move everything from the carriage. They sorted them out and then went to get brooms and mixed the feed. They started their daily chores.
Mo Ruyue didnât know what was wrong with them. Although the babies usually divided the work and cleaned up the house well, the feeling they gave off today was particularly different.
The dinner was packed from the restaurant. In order to prevent the food from going bad due to the hot weather, the restaurant even put a few ice cubes in the food box.
If this was in her previous life, this would be normal. But now, in the ancient times when there were no refrigerators, Mo Ruyue was surprised to see ice cubes in this restaurant.
Originally, she had planned to develop a small ice-making machine. It seemed that the next time she saw the young master of Guanglai house, she could borrow the restaurantâs ice-making machine for a look. Perhaps she could improve it. After all, the tool room in her interspace was not to be trifled with.
Because of the ice cubes, the ingredients were still a little cold when they were taken out of the food box, so she did not have to worry about them going bad.
After Mo Ruyue heated up the food, she was about to call the babies to eat. When she turned around, she found that the few little heads had shrunk back from the kitchen door at the same time.
Just now, she realized that they had been secretly approaching her. Even when they were working, they would glance over from time to time, as if they were afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
Todayâs incident must have frightened them, right?
Mo Ruyue suddenly realized that if she was really thrown into prison, the five babies would really have no one to rely on.
How could the first and second branch of Qin Family sit back and watch this great opportunity slip away? Perhaps they had already begun to plan how to get their house and property back?
