I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 210

210 Act Within One’s Means

As Er Bao spoke, he looked at Mo Ruyue. He winked at Da Bao behind his back, hoping that she would say something.

“Da Bao, look at the empty seat over there. San Bao doesn’t sleep well. If you don’t block him, he will easily roll to the ground.”

Mo Ruyue opened her mouth as Er Bao wished. However, one could tell that she was lying.

This was a fire-heated brick bed like a shared bed, and everyone slept side by side. No matter how much they rolled, they would not roll to the ground. At most, they would stick to the wall on the other side.

!!
Da Bao took a look at the seat left for him and then looked at Mo Ruyue’s calm and unperturbed expression. He directly reached out and snatched the pillow back from Er Bao’s arms.

“If I wasn’t afraid of breaking San Bao, I wouldn’t have joined in the fun with you.”

As he said that, he placed the pillow at the position next to San Bao. He quickly got on the brick bed, and turned over to face the wall.

Mo Ruyue raised a hand and gave Er Bao a silent high five. Then, she pouted her lips to signal for him to get on the bed quickly.

Six people were lying on a large bed. After the family moved into the new house, they slept on the same bed again.

The room fell silent for a moment. Although no one spoke, the rising and falling breathing told Mo Ruyue that none of the babies were asleep at this time, including Tang Tang.

“Mother, are you asleep?”

After a long time, Er Bao asked in a low voice again. He was now the spokesperson for the babies and he always spoke first.

“Speak, do you have something to ask me?”

Mo Ruyue didn’t beat around the bush. If this went on, everyone wouldn’t be able to sleep. She had to return to the County early in the next morning, and this time, she would be away for a long time. She wanted to spill the babies’ true thoughts before that.

“Mother, now that you are in the Medical Hall, do you encounter a lot of trouble every day? You’ve been away from home for so long, did you encounter a difficult patient?”

San Bao also spoke.

She rolled over and got up. She looked in Mo Ruyue’s direction and couldn’t even bear to blink. She was afraid that in the blink of an eye, her mother would disappear.

“Mother, I know a lot of herbs. Can I go and help you?”

Mo Ruyue’s left arm was gently shaken, and Tang Tang whispered in her ear.

Her heart warmed and she couldn’t help but reach out to pinch Tang Tang’s cheek gently. However, she was afraid that she had used too much force, so she quickly rubbed it after pinching.

“Mother is a person who is very afraid of trouble. At the beginning, she was not willing to save people because she knew that trouble would come later, but you should also know that if mother is not willing to do something, no one can force her, right?”

The few babies nodded repeatedly. Even Da Bao, who was facing the wall, nodded his head almost imperceptibly.

“Actually, there are risks in all walks of life. The key is that you have to be capable so that you can deal with sudden situations at any time. Otherwise, if something happens and you don’t know how to solve it, even a small problem will become a big problem.”

Mo Ruyue wasn’t a person who liked to talk big in the past. She was a person who took action. Even if she said a thousand words, it wouldn’t be as good as doing one thing.

She taught her babies with words and deeds, making them understand that actions were more useful than words. However, she could only do both things to solve the knot in their hearts.

“Mother, you have told us to lay a good foundation, to build up our skills, to be careful and not to advance rashly, and to put self-protection first in everything. We have all remembered this in our hearts, but it is Qianqian who is still worried about you.”

Er Bao repeated what Mo Ruyue had said back then. They had always kept it in their hearts and did not dare to forget it at any time.

“Then today, mother still wants to tell you that mother still has many, many methods that she has not used. You can count now how many methods mother knows.”

Mo Ruyue’s voice had just fallen when the babies fought to be the first to give examples.

“Mother’s cooking is the best! It’s much more delicious than the Guanglai restaurant in the city!”

San Bao loved to eat. This was the first thing that came to his mind. He even said it before Si Bao did.

“Mother knows how to treat illnesses and save people. She knows a lot of herbs. Tang Tang loves to learn medicine from mother”

Tang Tang also added.

“Mother’s Kung Fu is very good, and she can even hunt. Once she enters the mountains, she never comes back empty-handed, and even taught us martial arts and machinery skills!”

San Bao snatched the words that Si Bao wanted to say. Hence, he mentioned the topic that Si Bao was interested in.

San Bao was a step faster. When he heard his younger brother’s chuckle, he stretched out his hand to poke him. He just happened to scratch Si Bao’s itchy skin. The two of them then laughed together.

“Mother’s handwriting is very beautiful. Mr. Du said that mother’s knowledge is also very high. If you were a man, you would definitely be in the top three in the imperial examination!”

Er Bao added. He looked so smug as if he was the one being praised.

“Da Bao, what other abilities do you think I have?”

Mo Ruyue saw that the four babies had already said it and Da Bao was the only one who didn’t say anything, so she took the initiative to ask.

“Mother is very good at doing business.”

Da Bao only said a short sentence and closed his mouth. This sentence made Er Bao grumble in dissatisfaction.

“Big brother, I should be the one saying this. Why did you snatch it away?”

“You’ve said what I wanted to say. I have no choice.”

Da Bao still spoke briefly, but Er Bao could not find any words to refute him. He could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Mo Ruyue saw that the babies seemed to have relaxed, so she smiled and said, “Look, now every one of you can say that mother has abilities, but mother still has many abilities that you don’t know about. So, do you think mother will be bullied so easily?”

“I don’t! Mother won’t!”

Tang Tang immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.

“That’s right, they should be thanking the heavens if mother doesn’t bully others!”

San Bao said straightforwardly. As soon as he finished speaking, Er Bao patted the back of his head.

“Mother doesn’t bully people. It’s others who bully us, so mother gives them a taste of their own medicine. That’s not bullying, don’t talk nonsense!”

“You’re taking photos of me again. The next time sir asks a question and I can’t answer, you’re the one who took the photos!”

San Bao mumbled softly and rubbed the back of his head.

“We don’t have to cause trouble, but we can’t panic. As long as we’re confident, we don’t have to be afraid of others.”

Mo Ruyue took the opportunity to instill her principles into the babies.

“Do everything within your means and make sure everything is under your control. Think twice before you do anything, but once you make a decision, don’t waste time and energy regretting it.”

“Mother will slowly teach you all the skills she knows, but what kind of person you will become in the end will be up to you. No matter how worried mother is, she can’t casually interfere in your lives.”

“I’m going back to the County tomorrow, and it might take a little longer. I hope that when I come back, I can see that the knot in your hearts has been completely untied.”

In the end, Mo Ruyue had exposed the babies’ thoughts. They still had deeply hidden uneasiness. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be this night talk today.
