I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 305

305 New Year Gift

Today was the day to reap the harvest of the new year. They filled the jars or cupboards in the kitchen with all kinds of meat, then bought some sweets, dried fruits, and other new year’s goods to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Mo Ruyue was still at the Bai family’s house at that time. It was Da Bao, along with his younger siblings, who had picked up the three big carts of new year’s goods.

Fortunately, there were servants in each carriage. They followed Er Bao and Si Bao’s instructions and unloaded all the new year’s goods, sending them to the kitchen, warehouse, and cellar separately.

The kitchen was, of course, managed by Si Bao. The food alone filled up an entire carriage. If it was not properly planned, it would just be piled up messily.

!!
As for the rest of the things, Er Bao was in charge of overall planning, sorting them out, and placing them. He had almost completed everything by himself.

It wasn’t that the other babies didn’t want to help, but that everyone had their own duties and tried to train and display their own specialties.

These three carriages of new year goods once again caused a sensation in the entire Qin Village. No one could surpass the glory of the Qin family’s first household. For a moment, the village was filled with envious gazes and discussions. It was unknown how many people regretted not being able to establish a good relationship with the Qin family’s first household.

After Mo Ruyue returned home, she was pulled by Er Bao from the warehouse to the kitchen and cellar to take a good look at the results of his and Si Bao’s hard work for half a day.

“Hmm, not bad. I’ll give you a shop now. You should be able to open it.”

Mo Ruyue was just joking, but Er Bao took it to heart.

Just past noon on the 27th of the twelfth month, Mo Ruyue couldn’t wait to go home.

She rushed to the back door, ready to leave with big black. She had only taken a few steps when she saw the Bai family’s father and son, Bai Shijiao, and Zhu Zhu waiting for her at the only way to the back door.

“Lady Qin, the new year is coming and these two days are the busiest time. Since my wife and daughter’s illness is not a big problem, then you should rest well and prepare for the new year.”

Bai Jinshang said this to Mo Ruyue on behalf of the crowd. Originally, Bai Shijiao had suggested to him that they bring Mo Ruyue’s children into the city to celebrate the new year together, and he had thought that it was a good idea.

Bai manor still had enough courtyards and rooms. It wouldn’t be a problem even if a few dozen more people stayed there.

However, when he heard that Lady Qin already had other arrangements, he could only regretfully dispel this idea.

Although they couldn’t celebrate the new year together, it was possible to take the new year’s leave in advance. Bai Jinshang was also embarrassed to delay Mo Ruyue’s various preparations for the new year, so he took the opportunity to tell her today.

“Alright, I won’t decline then.”

When Mo Ruyue heard this, she also agreed very readily.

Madam Bai’s acupuncture session had come to an end, but Bai Shijiao was still at a bottleneck and needed to rely on diet therapy to get through it slowly. Zhu Zhu did not have to do acupuncture every day, so her weight loss plan could be adjusted, so it was not difficult to adjust a few days of leave.

“In order to thank Lady Qin, we’ve also prepared some annual interest. I hope Lady Qin can accept it.”

As he spoke, Bai Jinshang waved his hand again, and a group of servants walked over with a tray in their hands.

“Didn’t Master Bai already send three cartloads of new year’s goods? Why is he buying more things?”

Mo Ruyue looked at the thing in front of her. It was covered with a red cloth and she didn’t know what was inside.

“Hehe, Lady Qin, there’s also a share for our Ouyang family inside!”

“Uncle Bai didn’t bring me with him last time when he was preparing new year’s goods. I’ll have to make up for it this time,” Zhu Zhu said with a smile.

Bai Jinshang also said helplessly, “Before Brother Ouyang left, he told me that the new year’s gift for Lady Qin must be prepared. The last three carriages were just to meet the meat-cutting new year custom on the 24th of the twelfth month, and all of them.

“I also thought that there is only one big, five small, and a total of six people in Lady Qin’s family. If I prepare too much food, I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it, so I only prepared a carriage.”

“When Zhu Zhu heard that she didn’t bring her share of the new year’s gift that I prepared for you, she didn’t want to.”

When Mo Ruyue heard this, she immediately smiled and said, “Is this the final new year gift?”

“No,” Bai Jinshang said with a smile. “The one on the 30th of the first month is.”

Sure enough, such a rich man’s family was very rich, and these were all in small change. Then he could look forward to the new year gift on the 30th of the first month.

“Lady Qin, please accept it. Don’t you have to go back early to prepare?”

While Bai Jinshang was still talking, the servants had already quickly put the things on the tray into a multi-layered box. After packing, they were ready to put the box on Big Black.

“Give it to me. If you stand behind Big Black, you’ll piss it off.”

Mo Ruyue naturally wouldn’t push away the wealth that was delivered to her door. This was all earned through her hard work and sweat. No matter how big the Bai family and the Ouyang family were, it also meant that they recognized her efforts and that she deserved it.

If the main family didn’t mind, why would she mind? no fool would think that the money was too little.

That chest needed two servants to carry it, but Mo Ruyue easily took it with one hand. This made the father and son of the Bai family secretly shocked and couldn’t help but exchange a look.

It was said that Lady Qin had real martial arts. She had once kicked a man in front of everyone, and now she could easily lift such a heavy box. He really didn’t know how unfathomable her skills could be.

“Alright, there’s no need to see me off. I’ll be leaving now. I’ll come over on the third day of the first lunar month. At that time, we can continue the next step of the treatment. However, we still have to avoid what we need to avoid. We can’t let them go just because I’m not around and there’s no one to supervise.”

Mo Ruyue reminded them again. Although she said that, she was still at ease with Bai Shijiao and Zhu Zhu.

No matter what age a woman was, they were extremely sensitive to beauty, especially after they had a partner who could compare with them. That competitive mind was enough for them to supervise and restrain each other.

After leaving the Bai family, Mo Ruyue rushed home at full speed.

Today was the day to wash the Fortune. They had to take a bath and wash the clothes to get rid of a year’s bad luck. Mo Ruyue thought that when she got home, the sun was just right, so she would take out all the clothes, blankets, and bedding at home to wash and dry. Although it was a little troublesome, it didn’t seem so hard with her babies working by her side.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she heard a burst of laughter coming from the courtyard. Looking through the slightly open courtyard door, the courtyard was already full of torn-down bedsheets and all kinds of clothes.

“So they’ve already started.”

Mo Ruyue muttered.

She also knew that half a day was not enough to wash out so many things, so the babies all started working early in the morning. It seemed that she had missed out on some time.

However, she didn’t come back empty-handed today, so she should be able to see the surprised expressions of her babies later.

She roused her spirits and shouted, “I’m back.”

“Mother is back!”

“Mother is back!”

“Mother, you’re back so early today!”
