I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 106

106 Searching School For The Babies

Moreover, if they entered the city to study in a private school, it would take a long time to travel back and forth every day. If they stayed in a private school, Mo Ruyue had other worries.

Now that she had offended the County Magistrate, if her babies were not in front of her, she would not be able to rush over in time if something happened.

Mo Ruyue considered this option as an alternative and put it as her last consideration.

There were many people from the Qin Village who came to the market. They were all suspicious of why Mo Ruyue had safely returned to the village yesterday, so they took the opportunity to find out what had happened.

They wouldn’t have known if they didn’t understand, but once they understood, they were shocked. It turned out that not only was Mo Ruyue the one who embarrassed the County Magistrate, but even Da Bao had also beaten the County Magistrate several times. In the end, he even made the County Magistrate apologize in public and pay more than a hundred taels of silver. Everyone was simply stunned.

!!
Was this something a commoner could do?

This time, Mo Ruyue had shocked everyone in the Qin Village. It was just that she wasn’t aware of this at all. She took the babies to all the places where they didn’t have time to play yesterday.

There were even more things on display in today’s market. The babies ate and played, and bought a lot of things. In the end, they also returned happily with a full load.

As usual, they had a short rest after dinner. They practiced the construction of the strokes for an hour and then went to do the evening class. The babies’ lives were quite fulfilling.

Before the babies were ready to sleep, Mo Ruyue said to them, “I went to enquire about the private school in the city today, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for the time being. I’ll consider it later. Tomorrow, I’ll ask the villagers. You have to be good at home.”

The babies were now very used to Mo Ruyue not being at home every two or three days. Every day, they could work together to clean up the house properly. Now, Mo Ruyue only needed to give them a little order and didn’t need to worry too much.

They all nodded in agreement after hearing Mo Ruyue’s words and then went to sleep.

The next morning, Mo Ruyue went to visit Aunt Liu’s house after breakfast. Now, she was only a little closer to the Liu Family in the village. The other families were more utilitarian. If it was not necessary, she did not want to deal with them.

“What? Do you want the babies to go to school? Lady Qin, that’s five babies, not to mention there’s a little girl.”

When Aunt Liu heard Mo Ruyue’s intentions, she was really shocked.

It would be fine if it were one or two children of the right age, but the payment for the pen and paper would be enough to give people a headache, not to mention five children.

“Aunt Liu, I’m not worried about money, but I’m not familiar with the situation around here. I’m just worried about how to arrange for these five babies. Da Bao and Er Bao have long passed the age of initiation. If they go to the initiation class now, I’m afraid that they will feel uncomfortable.”

Now, Mo Ruyue would consider the feelings of her babies more, especially when Da Bao was so delicate. Sometimes, she was really afraid that he would go to a dead end.

“Ah, that’s true. Your ability to make money is even better than most men’s. You can hunt in the mountains, do business in the city, and take care of the house well. But why…”

Aunt Liu thought of Qin Ming who died on the battlefield and sighed in her heart. There was no man in this family, and they had to rely on a woman to support them. If Qin Ming was still here, Mo Ruyue would not have had to work so hard.

“There’s this Li Clan Village three miles away from our village. That village isn’t like us, it’s right at the foot of the mountain. It’s a well-known literary village, and there’s a private school there.”

“That private school is opened by a scholar. I heard that the teaching is really good. If you are interested, you can go there and take a look.”

Aunt Liu indeed gave Mo Ruyue a good suggestion. Her eyes lit up when she heard it, and she immediately smiled and said, “Aunt Liu, thank you for your help. I’ll go and take a look now. It’s better to make a decision quickly.”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly took her leave.

“Old woman, don’t you think this Lady Qin has changed drastically? In the past, we were all worried that she would bring harm to the children and then run away. But look at her now. Not only does she provide them with good food and drinks, but she also considers sending them to school.”

“Even my mother wouldn’t have done this, right?”

Uncle Liu looked at Mo Ruyue’s back and couldn’t help but say emotionally.

“You’re right. Who in the village doesn’t talk bad behind her back? But she is really like a different person now and she’s being nice to the babies. It’s a good thing.”

Aunt Liu was also very emotional. Talking about Mo Ruyue’s family, she couldn’t help but think of her short-lived son and couldn’t help but feel sad.

Perhaps their willingness to help the Qin Family’s first branch was a kind of empathy effect.

After Mo Ruyue left there, she immediately drove the Imperial Carriage to Li Clan Village. She had asked for the route in advance, and the village was already in sight in a short time.

Because it was located at the foot of the mountain, there seemed to be more usable fields here than in Qin Village. It was the kind of scenery that was popularly talked about in books, with crisscrossed roads, chickens, and dogs.

Mo Ruyue drove the Imperial Carriage to the village entrance and asked a villager who was working in a field by the roadside, “Big Brother, may I ask how to get to the village’s private school?”

The man stopped what he was doing and looked up at her. “Lady, are you preparing to send your child to study in a private school? Our private school only has classes in the spring and autumn. It’s summer now, so if you transfer now, they’ll miss too many classes.”

Although he didn’t answer Mo Ruyue’s question, she understood some other things.

“I’m only here to understand the situation.”

Mo Ruyue gave a short reply. She only wanted to know where the private school was.

“Alright, the private school is at the entrance of the village. Walk 50 meters and turn right. You will see a large courtyard. There is a sign of the private school hanging on it.”

The man pointed Mo Ruyue in the right direction, and after she thanked him, she continued to drive the Imperial Carriage into the village.

Following the man’s instructions, Mo Ruyue quickly found the private school. It was class time now, and she could hear the sound of reading.

The size of the private school was not small. It was about three or four acres in size, surrounded by green trees and blooming flowers. The environment was very good.

Mo Ruyue came at the wrong time, so she parked the carriage under the shade of a tree outside the gate and waited for the class to dismiss inside. After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, she heard the bell ring, and the sound of reading stopped. Soon, a group of children ran out.

She stopped one of them and asked where the teacher was. She gave the child a piece of candy and asked him to help bring the teacher out.

The child ran away, laughing. After a while, a tall and thin man came out.

He saw Mo Ruyue standing under the tree, so he walked over and asked, “Lady, are you looking for me?”

“Good day, sir.”

Mo Ruyue greeted him politely and explained her purpose for coming.

“Five babies? The oldest is eleven years old, the youngest is four years old, and she’s still a little girl.”
