I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies-Chapter 25

Going Into A Dead End Again

“I can accept 800 wens as compensation, but I don’t accept IOUs. You have the nerve to delay, but I don’t have the time to take it.”

Mo Ruyue stated her statement straightforwardly. The so-called compensation was just to teach the children a lesson. Whether it was 800 wens or 80 wens, as long as they paid the money, those children would inevitably be beaten up.

She paused for a moment and continued, “Also, the wooden door of our house. Whoever kicked it will have to repair it. Otherwise, I’ll bring the five babies to your house tonight. The door is broken like this. If something happens to us, who can bear the responsibility?”

The few couples looked at each other, knowing that this was Mo Ruyue’s last resort.

If it was the lazy, bad, and submissive Mo Ruyue of the past, no one would take her words to heart. At most, they would just give her a few dozen wens and send her away.

However, Mo Ruyue was completely different now.

When she was ruthless, she even beat away the big men who came to collect debts. If she used that ruthlessness on them...

When they thought of this, they all shivered.

In the end, each family took out a hundred wens to pay and redeem their children. The two children who had broken the Qin family’s door were detained in Mo Ruyue’s hands. They were only released after their father had fixed the door.

When the last two children were taken away, Mo Ruyue stood at the door and showed her first smile of the day. Her eyes curved as she said to them, “Take care. If you have money but nowhere to spend it next time, you’re welcome to come and make trouble again.”

The two children couldn’t help but turn back to look at her. Their respective fathers pinched their ears and carried them away.

Mo Ruyue tossed the money bag in her hand up and down a few times. The copper coins inside collided with each other, making a clattering sound. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

“Mother... What about our well?”

Er Bao walked to Mo Ruyue’s side, pulled her sleeve, and shook it.

That well was the only thing that father had left for everyone. Now that the dead rat had been thrown in, not only could they not drink the water inside, but they could also not use it.

“There’s no hurry. Leave this matter to mother. Let’s use the water in the river for now.”

Mo Ruyue casually touched the top of his head to comfort him, but in her heart, she didn’t care about this little well water pollution at all.

As long as she could find enough raw materials, she could make anything in the tool room. Then, she would just need to use disinfectant to purify the well water, but that would take some time.

“Mother, you were so good at trapping them. I can’t learn it no matter what.”

San Bao also came over. He was fiddling with a hemp rope in his hand and trying to make a noose.

However, he didn’t know how to tie a knot, so the noose was tied into a dead knot. No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn’t tighten it.

“Yesterday, Mother used this to trap us. Did she also use this to trap the little rabbit?”

When Si Bao spoke, a trace of saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Although he sucked in the saliva in time, it still wet his chin and collar.

“Mother used a stone to make a little rabbit. This noose, ah, can be used to put on many things.”

Mo Ruyue walked over and took the silk handkerchief from her clothes. She wiped the corners of Si Bao’s mouth and chin and answered his question patiently.

She felt a weight on her thigh, and when she looked down, she saw Tang Tang hugging her leg and looking up at her.

“Mother.”

Tang Tang called out softly. Her big black eyes, which were like black grapes, looked longingly at Mo Ruyue. Her teary eyes, which were like those of a young deer, instantly melted her heart.

Mo Ruyue picked up Tang Tang and said to the boys, “Alright, let’s all go back to our rooms. It’s getting late, and we should prepare lunch soon.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Er Bao, who was still fiddling with the rope cover at the door, suddenly shouted, “Big Brother is back!”

San Bao and Si Bao, who was originally following behind Mo Ruyue, immediately turned around and ran towards the door. They kept shouting, “Big brother, big brother!”

Mo Ruyue stopped in her tracks and saw Da Bao entering the door, surrounded by his younger brothers. His face was covered in sweat, and he kept Fanning himself with his lapels. It was obvious that he had rushed back.

He didn’t expect Mo Ruyue to be at home. In the morning, she had clearly said that she was going into the mountains to hunt, so he rushed back, afraid that his younger brothers and sisters would be bullied by the children in the village again.

He did not expect her to be at home.

“Big brother, you don’t know, but mother taught those bad children in the village a good lesson today. They even compensated our family!”

San Bao reported excitedly.

“Also, the broken door has been fixed!”

Si Bao also showed off, not to be outdone.

Da Bao was stunned and looked at Mo Ruyue in a daze.

The three boys fought to speak to da bao. He jumbled things together and finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that she had sent him away while she stayed behind to teach the group of children a lesson.

To think that he had thought that she was a cold and heartless person by nature.

Da Bao looked at Mo Ruyue with a complicated expression. At this time, she was going in and out of the kitchen, busy preparing lunch.

The boys were supposed to help, but they were all surrounding her now. She didn’t say anything and let them ‘slack off.’

“I’m back,”

Da Bao walked out from the encirclement of his younger brothers and went straight to Mo Ruyue’s side.

“I’m back. ”

Mo Ruyue glanced at him indifferently and nodded. “Then wash your hands and clean up the dishes. We’ll be eating soon.”

She didn’t say anything, but he had to ask. He stood there hesitantly and said, “I just heard from my brothers that you taught those bear cubs a lesson?”

“Isn’t that what I should do? They think that no one will care about children who do evil, so I’ll let them remember this.”

Mo Ruyue said casually. She didn’t boast about her ‘great achievements,’ nor did she have any intention of ‘taking credit’ for it. It was as if what she had done was an ordinary and normal thing.

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Da Bao frowned slightly. He felt ill at ease about being ‘excluded’.

“Didn’t I tell you to return the tow truck? You do what you need to do, and I do what I need to do. It’s fine as long as we don’t delay anything. ”

Mo Ruyue was too lazy to explain these things, but Da Bao was a stubborn person and might go to a dead end again. Although she didn’t care much, it was also troublesome, so she simply said a few more words.

However, he only said a few more words. The most important thing was to resolve the matter.

After lunch, the boys saw that Mo Ruyue didn’t seem to have anything to do, so they poked and pushed each other to her side.

Mo Ruyue deliberately pretended not to see their little actions, but she had long guessed that their little trick was because they couldn’t forget the noose she had revealed in the morning.

In the end, San Bao, who had a broken tooth, was pushed out. He grinned at Mo Ruyue with a silly smile and scratched the back of his head, saying, “Mother, I... I’ll give you a massage?”

Er Bao was initially waiting expectantly for San Bao to express their thoughts. He did not expect that San Bao would change his mind at the last minute. He almost fell into a daze when he heard that.
