41 The Show Is About To Start (1)
Mo Ruyue stretched out her hand and pinched Da Bao’s cheek. Just as she wished, she saw the hostility dissipated, leaving only a stunned and confused expression.
“What the hell!”
Da Bao’s face was pinched until it was deformed. His mouth opened wide, and his words began to sound unclear. He wanted to reach out to slap Mo Ruyue’s hand away, but he didn’t expect that she would slap his hand away instead.
“You’re still so young, then why are you always pulling a long face like an old man?”
She then reached out her other hand and pinched the other side of his face as well, forcing a smile for him.
Mo Ruyue looked at her own masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction. This was still acceptable.
Da Bao struggled in pain. His hands flapped and finally slapped away Mo Ruyue’s hands, but a few red fingerprints were left on his face.
“It’s good that you’re well aware of this. Even if they want to start implementing their plan, they’ll have to wait until the new house is vacated. You still have time to slowly perfect your countermeasures.”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and went to eat, leaving Da Bao with a thoughtful look on his face as if he had really begun to consider her words.
On the third day after Mo Ruyue had separated from the Qin family, the Qin family started to make preparations to move out of the house. Besides Mo Ruyue, who clearly knew the real motive behind the Qin family’s straightforward actions, almost everyone in the village expressed surprise and confusion at the Qin family’s actions.
Everyone gathered in groups of three to five and discussed the possibility. However, no one could have guessed that the Qin family had already cast a net against the first household.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, Qin Shi suddenly came to find them.
“Are the villagers all busy? I see you guys are having a lively discussion and don’t seem very busy. ”
She greeted everyone with a smile.
“We just met and greeted each other. We’re going to get busy now.”
Based on the villagers’ understanding of Qin Shi, they intuitively felt that her smile at this moment harbored ill intentions. Instantly, they all had the idea of escaping.
As they say, thoughts are always faster than actions. It was not as fast as the Qin family’s words.
“Since you’ve met him, help me with a small matter. It’s not a big deal and won’t take up much of your time.”
As she spoke, she opened her arms. Although she couldn’t block everyone’s way, few people had the nerve to walk past her and leave.
In the end, most of the people were left behind, and only a few who stood a little further away had already quietly slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good.
“Old Lady Qin, what do you want to do by forcing us to stay?”
A man braced himself and asked. Someone had to be the one to stand out.
“As I said, it’s just a small favor. That Mo Ruyue has forced us to vacate the house? But you see, our Qin Family is old, how can we move so many things? We still need everyone’s help. ”
As expected!
This thought appeared in everyone’s mind at the same time.
When they saw Qin Shi preparing to move in, they should have stayed far away, but they had to gather to make wild guesses and gossip with each other. Now, they were all destroyed by this old lady.
Even though everyone wanted to refuse, no one could say it out loud at this time. They could only look at each other and be forced to do so unwillingly.
With such a commotion in the village, Mo Ruyue knew that a good show was about to begin. She also called her babies to pack up what they could and get ready to move out at any time.
As for Da Bao, he suddenly walked to Mo Ruyue’s side and said, “I’ve already thought of a countermeasure. You don’t have to worry this time. I’ve thought it through. I’ll definitely let them reap what they sow.”
“That would be great.” Mo Ruyue replied and reached out to Da Bao, “Hand it over.”
“What?”
Da Bao was still not used to Mo Ruyue’s way of speaking from time to time. He could not understand what she wanted him to take out for a moment.
“Silver notes, of course. To move to such a big house, wouldn’t we have to buy more things? Even if the Qin Family can’t take everything away, they would rather destroy it than leave it to us. Don’t you think so?”
Mo Ruyue said with certainty, and Da Bao also nodded in agreement.
After Da Bao returned to his room, he came out with a silver note. When he handed it to Mo Ruyue, he even reminded her, “Save it – money doesn’t grow on trees, you know!”
Mo Ruyue frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Da Bao turn around and go back into the room. This time, he came out even faster. He had another banknote in his hand and stuffed it into her hand again.
“Alright, let’s go. Don’t wait until we’re done selling. It’ll be dark by then.”
After Da Bao finished speaking, he pulled Er Bao over and reminded him earnestly, “Keep an eye on her and don’t let her buy everything she sees. We don’t have a lot of money at home. Go quickly and come back early!”
Just like that, Mo Ruyue and Er Bao were swept out of the door by Da Bao. The two of them did not carry their baskets. Mo Ruyue looked at the two silver notes in her hands and exchanged glances with Er Bao.
Soon, the tightly shut door opened again. Da Bao, whose lips were pursed into a line, poked his head out and asked hesitantly, “Do you want me to bring the tow truck for you?”
Mo Ruyue had already turned around and left with Er Bao. When she heard what he said, she only waved her hand and shouted, “There’s no need. I’ll have everything when I come back.”
With 100 taels of silver in hand, buying a car was not difficult.
At this time, the Qin family’s house was bustling with people. Some were moving things, while others were smashing things.
“I say, Mrs. Qin, these are 80% new furniture. Don’t you feel bad for smashing them like this? Besides, you’ve already destroyed the pigsty, the goat pen, and even the woodshed. Aren’t you going a little too far?”
A middle-aged man was in charge of smashing things. He held the handle of a hoe in one hand and lifted his lapels with the other to fan. Sweat dripped down his face incessantly.
“Just do your work. Why do you care so much? Hmph, we’re the ones who built all of these, and we don’t feel bad.”
Qin Shi said unhappily.
Although she was ready to move out so that Qin Family’s plan could be carried out smoothly, she was still very unhappy deep down. She could not take these things with her nor let the family’s first branch take advantage of them.
“Hey, you old hag, we’re here to help. You didn’t even offer us a cup of tea, can’t you at least say a few good words? It’s not like we owe you anything. If it wasn’t for your dirty hands and feet, how would you end up like this!”
As that man was scolded, he immediately became anxious. He raised his voice and started quarreling with Qin Shi.
“What are you shouting about? Didn’t I ask you for a favor? You’re such a big man, why are you so stingy?”
Qin Shi didn’t have any sense of gratitude at all. She wasn’t willing to move out in the first place. If she hadn’t been caught red-handed by Mo Ruyue, would she have needed to find someone to help her move out?
The others heard the quarrel between the two and looked at Qin Shi’s unreasonable face. She forced them to help in the first place and was not even grateful. They were now even more reluctant to help her. Even moving some things was so slow, she couldn’t get to the place even after a long time.
