Chapter 50 - 50 Trap
50 Trap
After all the furniture had been moved into the courtyard and placed in their respective positions, the in charge of the convoy came to Mo Ruyue to settle the accounts.
That day, she had only paid the deposit in advance, and the rest of the payment had to be made after confirming delivery and ensuring there were no defects.
“Madam Qin, you’ve already checked the furniture condition just now. If there’s no defect, please leave a fingerprint and pay the rest of the money.”
The in-charge handed over a list of all the furniture that Mo Ruyue had bought. The delivery team had already installed the doors and windows that she had added behind her.
Mo Ruyue took the list and skimmed through it. Then, she pressed her thumb on the ink pad and left her thumbprint on the bill.
She turned her head and was about to ask Da Bao to bring the silver notes over when she saw San Bao running over happily and passing her a purse.
“Mother, big brother said that you need silver notes and asked me to bring them over.”
“Where’s your big brother?”
Mo Ruyue knew that Da Bao must still have a knot in his heart. He was afraid of being poor. Even if he had a mountain of gold and silver in his hands, he would not dare to be extravagant and wasteful. He would definitely use every single coin he had.
Habits needed to be changed subtly, and she was indeed a little impatient now.
“Big brother, big brother went to see the livestock. Uncle Liu next door said that our pigpen has just been built. If we put the pigs in now, the pigpen will collapse at night. That’s why big brother went to see what to do with the pigs. ”
As San Bao spoke, she twisted her body and looked outside the house. Her thoughts were on the herd of animals outside. Looking at people was not as fun as looking at animals. Even when she was at grandma’s house, she had not seen so many animals at home.
“You also want to help? Help with what? catch pigs?”
Mo Ruyue had not thought of how to deal with the few pigs of all sizes. Therefore, he asked casually when he heard San Bao’s words.
“Mother, how did you know that I caught a pig just now? I’ve already washed my face and changed my clothes, so I don’t smell anymore. ”
San Bao said confusedly. She even raised her arm and sniffed it.
She saw that the pig lambs were cute, so she wanted to carry one to play with. In the end, she fell after running two steps and fell head first on a pile of cow dung, which made her vomit.
Fortunately, Mo Ruyue was busy asking everyone to move the furniture in and put it away at that time. Other than Da Bao, no one else noticed her disheveled appearance. Da Bao also asked her to take a bath and change her clothes before sending her over to Mo Ruyue with the silver notes.
“Did your big brother tell you how to deal with the pigs?”
Mo Ruyue was interested. Although she was asking San Bao, she did not delay her actions and directly handed the remaining amount of silver notes to the in-charge.
“Alright. Madam Qin, the accounts are settled. We’ll go back first.”
As the in-charge spoke, he walked out. Mo Ruyue followed him out and forgot to hear San Bao’s reply.
After sending them off, the next step was to pay wages to the villagers who had come to help . Mo Ruyue’s wallet had already been prepared. It was nothing more than going through the other day’s process again.
When Uncle Liu, who was next door, came over, he suddenly said to her, “Madam Qin, then I’ll keep them in my house. Don’t worry, I’ve marked your pigs so that they won’t be mixed up with my pigs.”
“Eh? Why didn’t I hear that my pigs would be sent to your house?”
Mo Ruyue raised an eyebrow. She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Don’t tell me that Da Bao came up with this idea to discuss it with you?”
“What, you still don’t know? I remember Da Bao said that he asked San Bao to come and tell you about this. ”
Uncle Liu was also surprised. He had seen San Bao running over. Why didn’t she tell Mo Ruyue about this?
“She wanted to say it just now, but I was sending the in-charge out, so I didn’t pay attention.”
Mo Ruyue shook her head. This was not important, but this solution was not bad.
She temporarily left the big and small pigs at Uncle Liu’s house. The two houses had always been neighbors, so she had a certain understanding of the Liu couple.
The couple was both straightforward and unpretentious. They would not be greedy for small benefits and do things that would harm others without benefiting themselves.
Therefore, by leaving the pigs in their pigsty temporarily, they didn’t have to worry about what would happen if she wanted to get a few pigs back.
“Then, I’ll have to trouble Uncle Liu. How about this? I’ll let Da Bao and San Bao help you. It will save you a lot of trouble.”
Mo Ruyue shouted inside the house, “San Bao, go and find your brother. Help Uncle Liu and drive the pig away!”
“Hey, I’m coming!”
San Bao quickly ran out of the house with a clear and harmonious reply.
Just now, when she saw that her mother was ignoring her, she thought that she was being naughty and made her mother angry. She didn’t expect that her mother would ask her and big brother to drive the pigs together. It seemed that her eyes were not cold, so she was not angry.
San Bao was a little one-track-minded. She thought according to her own thoughts and immediately threw all her worries out of the window. She went to find Da Bao happily.
Mo Ruyue quickly settled all the wages. Seeing the villagers who had come to help leave with smiles on their faces, the entire courtyard suddenly fell silent.
This day’s moving was particularly chaotic. Other than Da Bao, Mo Ruyue didn’t call the other babies to help, so she was the only one in the courtyard of the new house.
The cow and the young mule had already entered their pen, and the two sheeps, chickens, and ducks had also been settled down. Only the four pigs, two big and two small, were temporarily placed in Uncle Liu’s pigsty.
There was another reason why Mo Ruyue didn’t let the babies come over. She was preparing to set up a few simple traps in the courtyard.
She didn’t plan to bring the babies over tonight. After all, the smell of the furniture was too strong. Even if she had bamboo charcoal bags, the effect would be limited.
However, an empty house was the easiest to attract thieves. If she didn’t make preparations in advance, how could she show her “hospitality” as the host?
After Mo Ruyue returned home, she saw that the babies were all in the house. Each of them had a big package that was neatly arranged by their side. They all stared at her the moment they saw her enter.
“What’s wrong? Is there a flower on my face?”
Mo Ruyue was baffled by his stare, and as she asked, she touched her face.
“Mother, didn’t you say that we can move to the new house today? You see, we’ve already packed up and are waiting for you to come back so we can go together. ”
During this period of time, Mo Ruyue had bought a lot of things at home. Whether it was the various clothes bought from the city’s boutique or the clothes that she had asked aunt Liu to make for the babies, every baby had at least four sets of clothes for the four seasons. Each person had at least sixteen sets of clothes, and how big was the bag that all clothes were packed in it?
Tang Tang sat next to her bag. She was not even as big as the bag. Mo Ruyue could not help but imagine a scene of the bag floating and moving slowly in the air. The more she thought about it, the more vivid it was.
