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

209 The Dark Horse Has Recovered

He had always been a deviant person. He didn’t mind that Mo Ruyue was a widow with five children. Besides, those five babies were not blood-related to her, so it wouldn’t affect her having her own children in the future.

Now, he needed to consider his parents, as well as the rumors about him and Lady Qin. Although they were suppressed by Lady Qin’s several lawsuits, once the two of them were together, he was afraid that there would be no waves.

Du Zhongheng thought this in his heart. Although he and Mo Ruyue had not even started dating, he was already thinking about how to shut everyone up in the future and what reason to use to minimize the resistance between the two of them.

Mo Ruyue said a few words to Du Zhongheng, and then he announced that it was time for class. After all, it wasn’t time for class to end yet. As a private school teacher, he was using the Shu Xiu that others had given him, so he naturally had to do his best.

The babies had already distributed the gifts, and their excitement had not yet subsided. One by one, they entered the “classroom” happily. Before Du Zhongheng entered the room, they were still chattering non-stop.

After greeting Mo Ruyue, Du Zhongheng also entered the “classroom” and it immediately quieted down.

Mo Ruyue stayed in the courtyard and went to see the big black horse first.

Before she left, she left behind enough medicinal herbs and spatial spring water. She also repeatedly told Da Bao to feed him medicine and water on time and take good care of him.

The brown horse seemed to have been reborn, and the black horse should have recovered as well.

Before she entered the door, she had heard the big black horse neighing, but she had not had the time to see it. Good horses had strong tempers, and she did not know if the big black horse would be angry with her.

Mo Ruyue turned to look at the stable and saw the big black horse staring at her. There was a trace of grievance in its focused eyes. When it saw Mo Ruyue looking over, it shook its head slightly and whimpered in a low voice.

Da Bao had already sent the brown horse into the stables. Previously, in order to prevent the big black horse and the brown horse from getting into a conflict, Da Bao had specially moved the docile Daqing to the middle, separating the two horses.

The brown horse was originally very docile. Even though it had been reborn, its temper did not increase by much. After entering the stable, it affectionately touched its nose and rubbed its neck with Daqing.

But now, when it faced the big black horse’s provocation, it was no longer as timid as before. Instead, it was more calm and composed, eating its own fodder as if it didn’t see it.

Mo Ruyue walked over with a bucket of carrots and apples in her hand. This was the gift that she had prepared to reward the brown horse for its hard work of accompanying it all the way. At the same time, it was also a bribe to build a relationship with the big black horse and the big young mule.

She walked to the big black horse first and fed it a carrot. Sure enough, the big black horse was in a much better state than before she left. The mustard moss on its body had fallen off, and it had even grown short hair. It seemed that it would return to its former state in a few days.

“Good, you’re recovering well. You didn’t let me down. Wait a little longer. The next time I leave, I’ll definitely take you with me.”

As Mo Ruyue spoke, she stroked the big black horse’s nose. It was a pity that she had to leave again tomorrow. She was afraid that she would disappoint the big black horse again this time.

By the time the babies were out of school, Mo Ruyue had already deftly prepared a table of delicious food.

The supplies that she had purchased in the County town had arrived at home in the afternoon. In addition to the local specialties that she had brought back from Ping Cheng, the table was filled with more than a dozen dishes. One would be full just by eating a mouthful of each dish.

Fortunately, the babies were still growing. Every day, in addition to studying cultural classes, they never stopped practicing Martial Arts and Fitness. Their appetite was twice that of their peers. They simply ate happily, and there was no need to worry about the table full of food not being wasted.

This meal made the babies all smile again. Mo Ruyue also used all her skills. Si Bao even chased after her and asked her about every dish. He looked eager to try, as if he was ready to do it himself.

Mo Ruyue answered all his questions. Questions like the amount of seasoning and the heat control could only be tested in actual operations. However, Si Bao had a lot of practical experience now. Basically, a dish could be 50% to 60% similar to Mo Ruyue’s cooking skills. At his age, it was not an exaggeration to call him a cooking prodigy.

After the meal, everyone talked and laughed together as they cleaned up the pots and bowls. Just like every night in the past, they carried out the evening class of revising books and practicing martial arts step by step.

Soon, it was time to go to bed. After taking a bath with Tang Tang, Mo Ruyue was drying her hair when she heard a light knock on the door.

Then, a head popped in. It was Si Bao.

“What’s the matter, Si Bao? Are you looking for your mother?”

Mo Ruyue beckoned him in and saw him hesitantly move out of the door. A corner of the pillow was exposed behind his back.

“Mother, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Ever since they moved to the new house, the boys no longer slept with Mo Ruyue. They all lived together like this, one adult and one child. Only Tang Tang could still sleep with Mo Ruyue.

Now that Si Bao had suddenly made such a request, Mo Ruyue could not help but feel a little surprised.

Under the light of the oil lamp, she saw that Si Bao’s face was already red. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at her. The tips of his toes kept rubbing against the ground, looking extremely uneasy. It seemed that he was also very embarrassed about his request and was afraid that she would reject him.

“No problem, come on.”

Mo Ruyue naturally wouldn’t refuse such a request. Although the children should sleep in separate beds now that they were older, it was fine to get together once in a while.

When Si Bao heard his mother’s consent, he hurriedly ran two steps towards the bed and suddenly turned around to look behind her.

Mo Ruyue followed his line of sight and saw San Bao and Er Bao’s small heads peeking out from the door. They were both smiling at her.

“All of you, come at me as well.”

Mo Ruyue more or less understood. She was afraid that the separation these few days had made the babies more or less have some thoughts in their hearts, and they were using this method to confirm that she was still by their side.

Fortunately, every room had a common brick bed, so even if everyone slept in the same room, they would still be able to sleep.

Tang Tang had been sleeping on Mo Ruyue’s left so that if anything happened, Mo Ruyue could protect her at the first moment.

Now, the three boys who had come over were sleeping on Mo Ruyue’s right. There was still one more person’s space on the far right, so this shared bed was almost full.

Mo Ruyue glanced at the door again, but Da Bao was still nowhere to be seen.

“Er Bao, we’re short of one person. Our family has to be tidied up at all times. We can’t be short of people.”

As soon as she said that, Er Bao immediately responded excitedly. He jumped from the bed to the ground like a monkey and ran towards Da Bao’s room.

Not long after, he ‘dragged’ Da Bao over with a pillow in one hand and another hand on Da Bao.

“Look at you, why don’t you listen to your mother’s words at this time? Mother said that our family should always be neat and tidy, how can we throw you out alone? If you don’t believe me, you can ask her !”
