Chapter 38

Just Wait And See

Qin Shi saw her son speak so clearly and couldn’t help but say suspiciously, “What kind of work can earn more than 20 taels a month? It can’t be the kind of work that kills people and steals their goods, right? You’ll lose your head if you do that!”

“No, mother, it’s a... It’s a gambling den.”

Qin Xu hesitated for a moment but eventually told the truth.

“Gambling den? You’re crazy! You won’t be able to get out of that place if you go in. No matter how much money we have, it won’t be enough for you to fill that hole!”

When Qin Shi heard that it was that kind of place, her mind buzzed. However, she had also heard people say that even the people who watched over the place made a lot of money, not to mention doing other things. With this look, it was possible to earn more than twenty taels of silver a month.

Qin Xu had been carefully observing Qin Shi’s expression. At this time, he saw that although her words were against it, her expression was somewhat hesitant. He knew that she was still a little moved, so he immediately added more fuel to the fire.

“Mother, I’m not the kind of person who looks after the place. I’m going in to be someone’s accountant. Twenty taels of silver a month is already considered little!”

“Would the accountant use an illiterate person like you? I’m afraid you can’t even remember the accounts.”

Qin Shi’s heart wavered again. She knew her own son’s capabilities the best. It didn’t make sense that a gambling den would take in an illiterate drunkard as their accountant.

“Ah, that’s why I need to use the money to make connections. I’ll sneak in first and naturally have people to help me. Besides, I’m illiterate, but I’m not illiterate. If I’m illiterate, I can still learn. What’s so difficult about it?”

Qin Xu said indifferently. Right now, he was only concerned about whether he could get his hands on those fifty taels and whether he could get his hands on that money-making job!

“But we really don’t have much money now. You’ve already given us almost all of it every few days. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the risk to go to that shop to get money.”

Once again, Qin Shi’s heart was moved by his words. However, she was truly having a headache over that sum of money.

“But that family is really rich now. The clothes I found today only had a silver note worth a hundred taels, not to mention other silver notes. Her family sold a big tiger, and people say that she has gold notes at home!”

As soon as Qin Xu heard Qin Shi’s words, his eyes

immediately lit up. He anxiously said, “Mother, did you really see that the first household really had a hundred silver in their hands?”

“Can it be fake?”

Qin Shi sighed and gloomily said, “It was so close. I grabbed the clothes, but I just couldn’t touch them. Otherwise, as long as the silver notes were in my hands, even if Mo Ruyue had three heads and six arms, she wouldn’t be able to get them out of my hands!”

Qin Shi’s words made Mo Ruyue, who was eavesdropping on the roof, sneer coldly. She was so confident. She probably didn’t know that there would always be a set meal that would suit her.

“Mother, this is simple. Didn’t Mo Ruyue force us to move back to the old house? When the time comes, we can just say that Qing Yuan and Qing Fei are not used to it and are sick. Or, we can just say that our family can’t afford to eat. In short, we just need to find some excuses and excuses. We have to get some money from her.”

Qin Xu’s heart itched at the sight of the one hundred taels of silver. He couldn’t wait to rush to the door and snatch the silver Note. However, he didn’t know what that woman, Mo Ruyue, had eaten wrong. She could actually hunt a big tiger back by herself. If she really brought it back by herself, he couldn’t beat her.

“Let mother think about it, think about it carefully. Her family has lost our house and land, so we have to find something to make up for it. Otherwise, I can’t take this lying down!”

Qin Shi muttered to herself as her mind was spinning quickly.

“Grandma, Qing Yuan has an idea. Would you like to hear it?”

Qin Qingyuan had wiped his tears away. He was only nine years old, similar to the three babies of Qin Ming’s family. He had cried for a while because of the shock, but he had calmed down now.

He had been listening for a while and suddenly said this to Qin.

“Qing Yuan, what ideas can you have? Don’t mess with grandma. Let her think of a good idea.”

Qin Shi was biased toward both her second son and her grandson. Even though she was annoyed, she still controlled her temper and didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

“Grandma, you’ve already heard from father. Just listen to Qing Yuan. What if it’s successful?”

When Qin Qingyuan said this, his tone was like that of a little adult. It immediately attracted the attention of the Qin clan.

“Okay, you can try it. Grandma wants to hear what ideas you have.”

“Aren’t we going back to the old mansion? When the time comes, I’ll go and play with San Bao and the rest. Then, I’ll deliberately fall and pretend to be unconscious. At that time, grandma and mother will hold me and cry at their door. They’ll make such a scene that even the village chief has to come forward to uphold justice. They’ll have to pay more than ten taels of silver no matter what. ”

“After that, you can take me into the city to treat my illness. Just say that I injured my brain, and then I’ll pretend to be unconscious for more than ten days. Then, I can still get some money for the medical expenses and so on. In this way, won’t I be able to raise the money for my father?”

The more Qin Shi listened, the more she felt that this idea was feasible. She pulled Qin Qingyuan into her arms and said, “My good grandson is still the smartest. This idea is good. We can even make Mo Ruyue suffer in silence. Although it’s not enough to vent our anger, it can be considered as collecting interest!”

Mo Ruyue’s eyes glinted coldly when she heard this from the roof. She didn’t expect Qin Qingyuan to be so vicious at such a young age. He was the same age as San Bao, but he was like a beast.

Since that was the case, she would ride a donkey and look at the account book. Just wait and see!

Next was the show of “kind mother and filial son, harmonious and harmonious” between Qin Shi and the second branch. The family was still thinking about extorting money from Mo Ruyue and letting Qin Xu go through the channels to get a monthly income of twenty taels. At that time, the family would move to the county city to live a good life, which would not be much more comfortable than staying in this small mountain village.

Mo Ruyue saw that she couldn’t hear any more valuable information and immediately used the sleeve arrow hook rope to quietly jump over the wall and land lightly. She quickly disappeared into the night.

As soon as she entered the house, she heard a burst of laughter coming from the house. It sounded like San Bao was telling a joke. His joke was not funny at all.

However, it sounded very funny when it was accompanied by his exposed teeth. Tang Tang was so amused that she could not stop giggling. However, she did not hear Da Bao and Er Bao’s voices.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mo Ruyue glanced at the kitchen again. Sure enough, there was a candlelight inside. The two of them must be preparing dinner in the kitchen.

She didn’t go to help but went into the house to see Si Bao first. Tang Tang was lying on the bed with her back facing the door, while San Bao was facing the door and her siblings. She saw Mo Ruyue coming in and immediately called out, “Mother, you are back. Si Bao is awake.”

The four-headed man lying on the bed also looked back. His eyes still carried the muddled fatigue from waking up. When he saw Mo Ruyue, he also moved his lips weakly, but he could not say anything.

On the other hand, Tang Tang turned around and saw that Mo Ruyue had returned. She immediately turned around on one knee and stretched out her hand to Mo Ruyue. “Mother, hug.”
