Chapter 7

Qin Tang Tang, who had been crying her heart out, had an empty stomach. When she saw this, she stretched out her skinny little hand and carefully tugged at Da Bao’s clothes. “Big brother, I’m hungry.”

The rest of the brothers also looked at Da Bao in unison. If the bad woman got angry, only Da Bao could beat her. That was why they had the confidence to move their chopsticks when their big brother said they could eat.

Da Bao had also been famished for a long time. When he saw his sister’s baby-like eyes, he did not say anything and directly picked up the plate and gave her two pieces of pig trotters.

Then, he put the plate back and said to his brothers, “If you want to eat, take it yourself. She can’t finish that much by herself.”

San Bao immediately smiled happily, revealing his teeth. However, this could not reduce his appetite.

He quickly picked up a pig trotter and put it into his mouth. Then, he narrowed his eyes in delight. “Delicious! Er Bao, it’s much better than your cooking!”

Er Bao was busy gnawing on the pork trotter and did not have the time to scold him. However, he rolled his eyes silently. There’s food, but it can’t stop you from talking.

Mo Ruyue looked at the five little fellows who were wolfing down their food without batting an eyelid. A rare gentleness appeared in her eyes as if this kind of trivial family life was not bad.

At least these days were full of fireworks!

But on the surface, she still kept a straight face and said indifferently, “Don’t just eat meat. It’s not balanced in nutrition.”

Upon hearing this, the four little ones stopped at the same time. They bit on the pig trotters in fear, not knowing whether to vomit or continue eating.

Only Da Bao glanced at Mo Ruyue, then gave his siblings some vegetables and cucumbers each. “You have to eat every dish. You can’t be picky.”

The chubby little Tang Tang was the first to nod. She was obviously very clingy to Da Bao. “Big brother is right. I’m the most obedient. I’ll eat the vegetables.”

Mo Ruyue’s lips curled up. For the first time, she reached out and patted Qin Tang Tang’s head. “Only obedient children get to eat meat.”

Da Bao was so vigilant that he almost used his chopsticks to slap Mo Ruyue’s hand away. He thought that she was going to hit his sister.

When he saw this, he froze and dropped his chopsticks!

Mo Ruyue glanced at him, “Tired? You can’t even hold your chopsticks properly?”

“I am not!”

Da Bao immediately picked up the chopsticks and washed them. When he came back, he looked at Mo Ruyue arrogantly and said in disdain, “You’re the one who should be tired, right? You’ve never done dirty work before, but today you’ve put in a lot of effort. ”

Mo Ruyue put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth calmly, and then stretched lazily. “Good that you know I’m tired. After dinner, you guys clean up the kitchen and this place. I’m going to lie down for a while.”

She wouldn’t force herself. This body was too weak. After running around for a day, she really needed to rest to recover her essence, qi, and spirit.

Hearing this, Da Bao and the others did not seem surprised and nodded in agreement.

When she woke up, the moon was already high up in the sky.

Mo Ruyue felt refreshed all over, except for the pain from her wound.

She got up and prepared to bring the herbs she had picked today into her portable space. She wanted to process them with spring water. Perhaps there would be a surprise.

Unexpectedly, when she came out, she saw Da Bao squatting in the corner, gritting his teeth and crushing the herbs. Then, he closed his eyes and applied them to his wounds. He frowned in pain.

“I’ll do it. ”

Mo Ruyue walked over and took the herbs from his hands. She directly took off Da Bao’s shirt, revealing his back and shoulders that were mottled with scars. Her pupils could not help but shrink.

Such a young child had suffered so many external injuries. It was heart-wrenching to see his skin and flesh split open. He had even helped her drag the wild boar back today.

She really didn’t want his life anymore!

“What are you doing!”

Da Bao was shocked and quickly wrapped his clothes around himself. He shouted at her in embarrassment and anger, “I can do it myself. I don’t need your fake kindness.”

“Can you apply the medicine on your own?” Mo Ruyue looked at him coldly, but Da Bao’s ears quietly turned red. However, no one noticed it in the dark.

“It’s none of your business. I have my own way,” he said fiercely.

“Fine, I can’t be bothered with you.” Mo Ruyue wasn’t a warm-hearted person. Since the other party didn’t care about it, she wouldn’t be in a hurry to give him a helping hand.

Mo Ruyue ignored Da Bao and directly washed and crushed the herbs. Then, she silently treated her injured shoulder.

The smell of crushed fresh herbs was not as good as the smell of dried herbs. Coupled with the smell on her body that was hard to hide, she was a little dazed for a moment. It had been many years since she had smelled this smell.

Mo Ruyue felt like puking when she smelled it. Moreover, these herbs had not been purified, and they still hurt when applied to the wound. It did not feel good.

She unconsciously looked at Da Bao, who smelled even stronger than her. Then, she thought of the tattered clothes on the children and made up her mind. She would wake up early the next day and go to the market to sell the wild boar to buy clothes for her little cubs.

She was definitely not feeling sorry for these little brats!

He simply thought that the rags smelled bad and were in her way!

When she came out after washing her face, she saw that Da Bao was already holding a pile of bamboo and building a cart. Er Bao and San Bao were helping by the side. The three little guys’ dark foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat. They had obviously been working for a while.

Mo Ruyue was just about to speak when she heard the wooden door being knocked on violently several times.

“Mo Ruyue, open the door! Why are you pretending to be dead?” A woman’s sharp voice came from outside the door. It was very unpleasant.

Mo Ruyue furrowed her brows. Coming to look for bad luck early in the morning, who came to look for death?

At this time, Da Bao walked to Mo Ruyue’s side with a cold and serious face. “Grandma and Auntie are here. They must have heard about the wild boar!”

Upon hearing that, Er Bao and San Bao quickly picked up the bamboo and guarded the front of the cart as if they were protecting their pig trotters.

“Big brother, the wild boar meat is ours. We can’t let the bad guys take it away,” San Bao said nervously.

Mo Ruyue saw that they were on guard and said calmly, “Continue to finish up the cart. I’ll send them away.”

With that, she went forward and opened the door.

Mo Ruyue stood at the door with a frosty expression. “Are you calling for a ghost in the middle of the night?”

Mother Qin’s figure was short but round. Her head was tied up with a yellow cloth, and her face was full of wrinkles, which made her look even more fierce.

“Stop putting on an act!” She spat out the moment she opened her mouth. “Didn’t you bring back a wild boar? Where’s the wild boar? Hand it over!”

Mo Ruyue reached out and pressed on her shoulder. She used a technique and pressed on the gap between her shoulder blades. It hurt so much that the old lady bent over. “You, you, you… Mo Ruyue, are you trying to kill me?”

“Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Do you still want to beat your mother-in-law in public?”

The second brother’s wife, Madam Wang, was an extremely astute and petty woman. She was born with a pair of unlikable triangular eyes.

At this moment, she was sizing Mo Ruyue up with an unfriendly expression. She seemed to be frightened by her current aura. “Eldest sister-in-law, are you possessed?”

As she said this, she even wanted to touch Mo Ruyue’s forehead.

“Don’t touch me.” Mo Ruyue pushed her hand away.

She sneered, “The old lady is old, and her brain isn’t good. But you’re so young. Don’t you bring your brain with you when you go out?”
