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

245 What Kind Of Hug Is This?

Although it was already late and he could not go back to the county, it did not mean that he had nowhere to go. He just had to move quickly. Otherwise, if he walked at night in the dark, it would be like putting his head on his belt and risking his life.

Madam Née Wang watched Qin Xu’s back disappear into the darkness and had no intention of stopping him.

To her now, as long as he could get his money back, it didn’t matter if he could get his life back.

The money in her hands was enough for the three of them to support themselves for a while, but it was not enough. She promised her son that she would send him back to continue his studies.

The next thing she should consider was to make Qin Xu take out more money, or to urge the Qin family to take out more money.

Just as Madam Wang was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt someone touch her arm.

“Mother, here’s your money.”

Qin Qingyuan stood beside her and showed her the bag of money.

“First, put the money away and hide it in a place where your father can’t find it. He won’t even let go of a copper coin, let alone this one tael of silver.”

The first thing that Wang-Shi thought of was to hide the money well. This money would be the life-saving money that would support them for a period of time. They couldn’t let it be snatched away by Qin Xu again because of a moment of negligence.

“I know where the money should be hidden.”

Qin Qingyuan paused for a moment before he continued, “But are you sure you know what to do next?”

Madam Née Wang was stunned for a moment before she realized what her son was talking about.

“The next step is to get more money to send you back to school and save enough money for Qingfei’s dowry.”

She also paused for a moment before continuing, “Qingyuan, I was useless in the past. I won’t do it again in the future. Believe me. I won’t do it again.”

“I trust you.”

Qin Qingyuan’s answer drew a surprised look from Madam Wang. She did not expect to hear such words from her son.

She thought that she still had to work hard to do a lot of things in order to gain her son’s trust.

Qin Qingyuan met her eyes and nodded affirmatively. He repeated what he had just said, “I trust you.”

“In the past, I wouldn’t believe a single word you say. But today, I think I can try to trust you once.”

Wang-Shi was overjoyed. Only now did she realize how wrong she had been in the past. Even her own son did not trust her. But fortunately, there was still a chance to remedy it, and this time, she would not be wrong again.

“Since you’ve made your decision, I’ll tell you something. I know where Grandma’s money box is.”

“You know? Where is it?”

Wang-Shi’s eyes lit up. This was good news.

“Mother, even if I told you and you took Grandma’s money box without her permission. That’s stealing.”

Qin Qingyuan reminded her “kindly.”

“Don’t worry, your mother was only a coward in the past, but she wasn’t stupid. The money in there is more important to your grandmother than her own life. However, there will be a way. I will make her pay back the money she owes us bit by bit.”

Wang-Shi smiled coldly, her eyes full of determination.

Mo Ruyue only heard about the Qin family’s farce two days later.

She had been going out early and returning late these days, busy sending the babies to and from school. Although she would do something else during their class time, this was the first time she had this feeling, and she enjoyed it.

It was Aunt Liu who had mentioned it to her. Although Mo Ruyue was also surprised that Madam Wang was finally able to fight back, it was none of her business.

“As long as they don’t come and provoke me, even if the world falls apart, it has nothing to do with me.”

Aunt Liu did not feel that Mo Ruyue’s words were very cold-blooded. When the second branch and Qin Shi took advantage of the first branch, Wang-Shi did not come out to say a word of justice.

When Qin Qingyan and the other five babies were starving and freezing, she didn’t show any sympathy as their second aunt, so Mo Ruyue couldn’t be blamed for standing by and watching.

After staying at home for a few days, Mo Ruyue saw that her babies had completely adapted to life in the private school, so she was ready to set off again.

Coincidentally, the people sent by the magistrate to pick up his daughter had also arrived. Mo Ruyue decided to set off with them to Ping City. Other than reporting to Duanmu Xize face to face, she also wanted to fulfill her promise.

After knowing that their mother was leaving temporarily, the babies’ reactions were much calmer than before. Even Qin Qingwan, who had always been the most clingy, was very calm.

“Mother, I’ll be waiting for you to come back.”

She still gave Mo Ruyue a hug and a kiss as usual, and then happily went to do her homework.

Mo Ruyue had just raised her arm and had yet to give Qin Qingwan a hug when the little one in her arms ran away. In an instant, she felt that her arms were empty, as if something was missing.

“The child has grown up. Is it really impossible to keep her when she grows up?”

Mo Ruyue muttered to herself, completely unaware of the ambiguity in her words. She was only immersed in an inexplicable sense of loss.

Another day passed, and it was finally the day that Mo Ruyue was going to leave. She had to go to the county city to meet up with Duanmu Xize’s men before returning to Ping City together.

The babies were also going to school at this time, so Mo Ruyue would ride with them and send them off for a while before parting ways.

Along the way, the babies were all chattering non-stop, while Mo Ruyue seemed to be a little silent.

Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly noticed that the carriage next to her had stopped. She subconsciously stopped the big black horse and found that they had reached the fork.

“Alright, you guys go left and I’ll go right. just like before, take good care of yourselves. I’ll be back in a few days.”

When Mo Ruyue spoke, her expression was a little cold, as if she had just come to this world and didn’t care about anything.

“Mother, hug!”

Qin Qingwan suddenly opened her arms to Mo Ruyue and said in a clear voice.

Ever since she went to the private school, she almost no longer said reincarnated words, but she still kept this habit with Mo Ruyue as one of her ways to act coquettishly with her.

Mo Ruyue didn’t react for a moment and just looked at her in a daze.

“Lady Qin?”

Uncle Liu reminded her softly. Mo Ruyue came back to her senses and got off the horse to walk to the side of the carriage. Before she could steady herself, a small body had already fallen into her arms.

...

“Mother, my brothers and I will take good care of ourselves. You have to take good care of yourself too. Eat on time, sleep on time, and be like Tang Tang. Be a good baby.”

Qin Qingwan leaned close to Mo Ruyue’s ear and carefully warned her, word by word, just like how she had warned them in the past.

“Mother, we also want a hug.”

The fourth baby, Qin Qinghao, suddenly squeezed over and said coquettishly as he clung to Mo Ruyue’s arm.

“Yes, mother, you can’t just hold Tang Tang. Although she’s soft and fragrant, we don’t stink.”

While Mo Ruyue was hesitating, she was already surrounded by the five babies. Even Qin Qingyan, who had never participated in acting cute, was silently at the back of the line.

Although she didn’t know why the babies were doing this, Mo Ruyue still hugged them one by one. When it was Da Bao’s turn, he only put his hand on Mo Ruyue’s arm slightly and leaned his body toward her.

What kind of hug was this?
