Getting Ready To Move

When Qin Shi put her fingerprint on the contract, her whole body shook like a leaf in the wind. Her thumb hung on the contract for a long time and didn't press down. In the end, the village chief impatiently helped her to press down.

When the cinnabar-stained fingerprint was pressed down, Qin Shi cried out in pain, "Oh my God, you're taking my life!"

Then, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Immediately, some of the surrounding villagers ran over. Some raised their arms and legs, and some ran home to get cold water. They took a mouthful and sprayed it on Qin Shi's face with a "pfft" sound. Only then did she slowly wake up.

"Alright, alright, you're awake. Everyone, make way. Let old madam catch her breath."

The village chief waved his hand to let the surrounding crowd disperse. When he saw that Qin Shi could sit up on her own, he said to her, "Old lady, don't take things too hard. If you didn't break into her family's house, this wouldn't have happened. Speaking of which, who asked you to be greedy?"

"I, I..."

Qin Shi wanted to defend herself a little more, but she suddenly realized that Mo Ruyue had let go of her hand and was folding the signed contract and stuffing it into Da Bao's arms.

"Wait! You said you caught the thief and took the stolen goods, but where are the stolen goods? You used me to sign the family separation agreement, but there's no evidence at all. I'm not convinced!"

Qin Shi struggled and pounced forward, tightly hugging Mo Ruyue's thigh. She only came back to her senses now. Mo Ruyue had only clamped her hand that was holding onto her clothes from the beginning to the end. There was no evidence to prove that she had stolen the money. However, she had a guilty conscience at that time and was actually deceived by her.

The more Qin Shi thought about it, the more regretful she felt. She wrapped her arms around Mo Ruyue's thighs even more tightly. Maybe she could use this opportunity to turn the tables around, even if it was just to take back that small ten mu of land!

The villagers who had originally planned to disperse stopped in their tracks when they saw this scene. They were waiting to see if Mo Ruyue had really caught the evidence or had set up a trap to trick the Qin family into divorcing again.

"What, do you want to die knowing why? Then I'll let you die knowing why. "

After Mo Ruyue finished speaking, she tore the lapels of the clothes in her hand in half. She completely ignored the fact that the clothes were still completely new, and a very small folded paper roll fell out of the tear. When it was unfolded, it was a silver note with a denomination of one hundred taels.

Qin Shi looked at the silver note in a daze, as if she had already become stupid.

When she touched the clothes, she had carefully checked them, especially the inner lining of the collar, sleeves, and chest, but why didn't she find this banknote? Even if the banknote was rolled up into such a small ball, it still had the feeling of touching it. Could it be that she had missed it because she was too anxious?

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!

No wonder Mo Ruyue had rushed in when she had grabbed the clothes. It turned out that there was really something.

The surrounding villagers let out an "Oh" in unison. This time, all of Qin Shi's wishes were met with a hammer, and she confirmed her crimes. Even if she wanted to deny it, it was useless.

Mo Ruyue's body trembled slightly, and with a hidden force, she pushed Qin Shi to the side. It looked as if she had lost her balance and fell again.

"Da Bao, let's go home and pack up our things with our brothers and sisters. We're going to move."

Mo Ruyue was about to leave when she turned around and said to Qin Shi, who was sitting on the ground, "I'll say the ugly words first. In these two days, empty out the new house for me. My five babies can't wait to accompany you."

"Wait a little longer!"

Qin Shi seemed to have suddenly come alive. She climbed up from the ground and staggered to Da Bao's side. She squeezed his shoulder tightly and said,

"That year, your father said that after the new house was built, the second branch and I could live in it temporarily. We would not separate from the second branch until I was 100 years old. You can't drive me away. You can't drive me away now!"

The new house and land were taken away. She admitted to this but didn't even think about moving out of the new house. Qin Ming's words back then were her life-exoneration token. She didn't want to go back to the wet and cold old house.

"What do you think my father would think if he knew that you kicked him out of the clan when he was still a corpse?"

Da Bao laughed coldly. "You'd better do as my mother said and quickly empty out the new house. Otherwise, even if she didn't rush you, I would have asked the village chief to make a decision for me. Don't make things ugly when the time comes."

After he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on Qin Shi's hand. She released her hand in pain and watched as Da Bao left with Mo Ruyue.

"Qin Shi, you heard what they said. If I tell you to hurry back and pack your things with the second branch, or else when big Bao really comes and I get the whole village to help you get a house, you'll really lose face."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. The other villagers also dispersed in twos and threes. No one actually came forward to comfort her.

The moment Mo Ruyue got home, she went straight to the house to see Si Bao.

Er Bao pushed the messy pile of clothes on the kang to a small corner. Si Bao was lying flat on it. He had already changed out of his wet clothes. Er Bao was wiping the sweat on his forehead with a clean cloth.

Tang Tang was lying on the edge of the kang and staring at Si Bao without blinking. She looked extremely nervous.

"Is the refreshing soup ready? Where's San Bao?"

Mo Ruyue walked over and asked softly.

"San Bao is watching the fire in the kitchen. The medicine is not ready yet."

As Er Bao said that, he took another look at the mess in the house and explained nervously, "We didn't know if there would be more uncles coming in to take a look, so we didn't dare to pack up. We didn't mean to not pack up."

"It's fine. You guys did well. Mother will clean up."

Mo Ruyue looked at Si Bao's face. Although his eyes were still closed, his face was not as pale as when he had just been rescued. She turned her head and saw that Da Bao had already quietly packed up.

She also stepped forward to help, and the mother and son quickly folded the bed full of clothes and bedding and stuffed them back into the cupboard.

"I'll go and take a look at the medicine. You guys guard Si Bao and don't disturb him."

Mo Ruyue reminded him and then walked to the kitchen. She was going to add some spring water from the interspace to the medicine pot. The spring water had such a magical effect on plants. Perhaps it was the same for people. Even if it was ineffective, it wouldn't be harmful.

Mo Ruyue went to the kitchen and asked San Bao to go back to the room first. He used a cotton cloth to cover the medicine pot and brought it into the medium. Time passed quickly here, so the medicine could be boiled faster.

She added some spring water into the medicine pot and sped up the flow of time. Soon, the pot of refreshing soup was ready.

When she came out of the interspace, only an instant had passed outside. Mo Ruyue put out the fire, poured the medicine into a bowl, and folded it a few times to let the boiling medicine become warm before bringing it back to the room.

She sat on the edge of the brick bed and let Er Bao help Si Bao up.

Then, she scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew on it gently. She then brought it to Si Bao's mouth and said softly, "Si Bao, drink the medicine. You won't feel uncomfortable after drinking the medicine."
