Chapter 8

“What did you just say?” Madam Wang was stunned for a moment.

“Sister-in-law, how can you be so stingy! We’re a family, no matter what. Mother-in-law is an elder. You’re so lucky to have a wild boar. Don’t you think you should be filial to your in-laws?”

“The news of Qin Ming’s death just came back. I, the bride, and these five children were all treated as burdens by you and chased out of the Qin family!”

Mo Ruyue’s face was cold. “From that moment on, we had nothing to do with each other, and we were no longer a family. Your respected mother-in-law said this herself. Have you forgotten it so quickly?”

Madam Wang choked, and her face turned green and white. “Mother, you see… after not seeing her for a few days, eldest sister-in-law’s mouth is really getting more and more powerful. My words carry little weight. I can’t win against her in an argument.”

As she spoke, she pretended to wipe her tears.

Mother Qin was even angrier. She raised her hand and was about to hit Mo Ruyue. “You jinx, you’re the one who killed my son. What’s wrong with me kicking you out of the house?”

When Da Bao saw this, he subconsciously clenched his fists and wanted to rush over to help.

No matter what, Mo Ruyue was still a human yesterday. She even cooked for them personally. He could not let Mo Ruyue be bullied by these two bad women!

However, he did not expect…

Mo Ruyue’s hand was as fast as lightning. She twisted the old lady’s wrist backward. With just a little more force, she could break her wrist.

“Ah, ah, ah… Help… Murder! You crazy woman!!” Mother Qin immediately cursed in pain.

Madam Wang was also so scared that she kept retreating. She didn’t expect that the weak and easily bullied fool in the past would become so strong!

“You want to take advantage of me by snatching the wild boar meat?” Mo Ruyue sneered.

“What do you mean by snatching? This is the filial respect I deserve!” Mother Qin was still being stubborn when she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

“Old lady, if I use a little more force, your hand will break. When that time comes, I don’t mind giving you some meat to nourish you.” Mo Ruyue said with a murderous look.

“It hurts… I don’t want it anymore! No…” Mother Qin couldn’t stand the pain and hurriedly struggled to push Mo Ruyue away.

She originally wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw Mo Ruyue raise her hand, she subconsciously took a few steps back. She was so angry that her hands trembled. “Mo Ruyue, you… Just you wait! This old woman is not done with you. ”

After she finished speaking, she glared at Madam Wang. “Useless thing, what are you looking at! I’m going back.”

The two of them helped each other up and fled. Mo Ruyue sneered and kicked the door shut.

She turned her head and saw Er Bao and San Bao, who was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth wide and said with a look of admiration.

“So powerful.”

Mo Ruyue felt a little embarrassed for some reason, and her tone became even colder. “It’s so late, don’t work on the cart. Go to sleep.”

Then, she just glanced at Da Bao indifferently and went back to her room.

This body was weak and tired easily. She needed to rest well before she could go to the market to do business tomorrow.

But the next day, Mo Ruyue didn’t succeed in getting up. She had underestimated the weakness of this body. After yesterday’s torment, this body couldn’t take it and completely collapsed.

Mo Ruyue felt light-headed, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in the portable space. The sound of spring water was beside her ears, bringing a cool breeze.

She sat up and drank a few mouthfuls of spring water. Only then did she feel the heat in her body subside and her strength recover a little.

It seemed that she had to pick more herbs to nourish her body; otherwise, her body would not be able to withstand even a little bit of torment.

At this moment, Mo Ruyue suddenly heard a series of mumbling sounds. It was so noisy that it made her feel a little upset.

She opened her eyes and saw Si Bao and San Bao lying at the door. The two of them were secretly playing a finger-guessing game. They opened their mouths but did not dare to make a sound as if they were afraid of waking her up.

Si Bao gestured and suddenly said excitedly, “San Bao, I won. Hurry up and wake up bad mother for breakfast.”

San Bao swallowed his saliva. His big eyes blinked a few times, but he still could not suppress his fear.

He grabbed his brother’s clothes with trembling hands. “What if the bad mother turns bad again after a night of sleep? What if she hits me? I’m scared of the pain, wuwu wuwu.”

Si Bao also drooped his head gloomily and sighed in his childish voice. “If only my bad mother was the same as yesterday.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them were shrouded in a shadow.

Mo Ruyue frowned and said coldly, “So early in the morning. What are you two doing hiding at my door?”

“Ya! Bad mother.” Si Bao was shocked and sat on the threshold. Even San Bao, who was in his grasp, fell on him. Their heads knocked against each other, and tears welled up in their eyes.

“Don’t cry,” Mo Ruyue pressed on Si Bao’s big, watery eyes and immediately frowned. “Get out!”

Si Bao swallowed his tears pitifully. He sobbed and said softly, “Mother, Er Bao has prepared breakfast. Big brother asked us to call you to eat.”

Mo Ruyue smelled the aroma of the food, and her heart softened, but her tone was still cold. “You guys eat first. I’ll be right there.”

Si Bao and San Bao felt as if they had been pardoned. They quickly held hands and left. They were hiding from her as if they were hiding from a great flood or a ferocious beast.

The breakfast was not very good. Er Bao had heated up the leftovers from yesterday, cooked brown rice porridge, and steamed a pot of coarse flour mantou. He left the biggest mantou for Mo Ruyue.

Mo Ruyue saw that the five of them were eating three average-sized steamed buns. With a cold face, she tore her own big steamed bun apart and gave it all to the children.

“You guys eat. I’m not hungry.”

The few older ones were still a little hesitant, but Qin Tang Tang was still young and would not think too much.

When she saw that there was food, she took it and put it into her mouth. As she ate, she thanked her in a baby voice, “Mother’s steamed buns are so fragrant.”

Seeing that Mo Ruyue wasn’t angry, the remaining people reached out to take the steamed buns and buried their heads in their meal.

However, Da Bao put his little steamed bun into Mo Ruyue’s bowl and said with a straight face, “I’m going to the market to sell the boar today. You’re so weak, and if you faint outside without eating, I won’t care about you.”

Seeing the little guy’s straight mouth, Mo Ruyue’s lips curved up in a rare smile. She didn’t refuse and took a few bites of the bun.

It seemed to be quite fragrant.

After the meal, Mo Ruyue took out all the fresh pork from the fridge in the portable space. After settling aside a little for the little ones, she took Da Bao to town to sell meat.

The meat of this adult wild boar was fresh, tender, and fragrant. The meat was rich, and the lean meat percentage was high. It was quite popular in the market. They had just entered the city when someone came to ask for the price.

But the price was too low, so Mo Ruyue rejected it.

She looked at the bustling market and lowered her head to look at Da Bao. “What’s the market price of the wild boar meat here?”

“I’ll sell it. You’re in charge of collecting the money.” Da Bao looked at Mo Ruyue’s pale face and took the rope from her hand.

He dragged the cart in front and said in disdain, “If you’re sick, stay here. Don’t get us into trouble.”

Mo Ruyue furrowed her brows and touched her face. Even this little brat could tell that her illness was a little serious.

This broken body is really useless!

Although Da Bao was young, he had been chased out of the house by the original owner to work early on, so he was quite familiar with the market. He directly brought Mo Ruyue to find a lively market to set up a stall, and it only took one morning to sell it all!
