I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 49

49 Moving Furniture

“I’ve bought quite a lot, but it’s true. Such a big house was destroyed by Old Lady Qin into an empty shell. It is only natural that I buy everything. Even the doors and windows have been destroyed. If it wasn’t for the Qin family selling a big tiger to earn some money, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to afford these things. ”

Another person said from the side, but there was a completely different emotion in his words, which was full of jealousy and hate. It sounded more sour.

“Hey, look! There are still people transporting livestock behind them! Good fellow! But the cowshed and stable are all made of wood, but the stone walls of the pigpen have not dried yet. If the pigs are put in there, won’t they all run out?”

“Zhen, didn’t Madam Qin think of this yesterday? She’s not even worried, so why are you worried for her?”

!!
As the villagers discussed among themselves, the convoy got closer and closer, and soon stopped at the village entrance.

A man who seemed to be the head of the group got out of the leading carriage. He was dressed in a long robe and had a square scarf tied around his head. He looked very refined and asked the villagers, “Everyone, do you know how to get to the Qin Family’s first branch’s residence?”

“I know, I know! This gentleman must be here to deliver the goods to the Qin family’s first branch, right? Just follow us!”

Immediately, a warm-hearted villager took the initiative to speak up, “We’re all here to help the Qin family move. Since it’s on the way, let’s go together!”

The head looked at the ten to twenty people in front of him and was slightly stunned. “You guys are all helping to move?”

When he saw everyone nodding, he couldn’t help but sigh. “After all, they’re from the same village. When their family needs help, everyone comes to help. They’re much more humane than us city people.”

His praise stunned the villagers, and their faces began to burn.

Even though they said that they were helping, the Qin Family had paid them for it. If they weren’t getting paid, half of the people would not even be here.

However, no one would take the initiative to admit this. It was enough as long as they knew what was going on.

Under the guidance of the villagers, the convoy entered the village. Fortunately, it was already in the mountains, and the cheapest land was the land, so every household’s homestead was not small. The neighbors on the left and right were not next to each other, but had enough space.

In addition, when the Qin family was building a new house, they had deliberately left a large open space in front and behind the house, so it was not crowded even when so many carts came and parked on the open space.

The cart in front was loaded with furniture, doors, and windows. Just these alone would have taken up seven or eight ox-carts.

There were some cages piled up in the car behind. There were adult chickens and ducks in them, as well as some baby chickens and ducklings. There were also two pig lambs tied up and put down in another cart.

There was nothing on the last cart. The body of the cart was brand new, and there were no signs of it being used. Yes, it was a new cart!

No one thought that Mo Ruyue would actually buy a carriage. Looking at the shaft of the cart, it could be used to trap cows and horses. Although it was not as expensive as those cart, the price was definitely not cheap.

Further back, there were people pulling cows and mules, and there were also people driving two sheep and two pigs, one male and one female. For the time being, the cries of all kinds of livestock were endless, and the whole village actually became lively in an instant.

Just as the convoy arrived at the village entrance, someone had already informed Mo Ruyue. She told the babies not to go to the vegetable garden to water and weed today, but to wait at home obediently. Then, she walked over to the new house.

“Madam Qin, you’re here! Look, there are so many carts. When has our Qin Village ever been so lively?”

Immediately, people began to greet her warmly.

“Yes. We’ve been waiting for you to come. If you didn’t say anything, we wouldn’t know where to move those things.”

“Of course, we move the furniture first, and then let the animals into the pen.”

Everyone started talking at once, not giving Mo Ruyue a chance to speak.

She was not in a hurry to talk to the villagers. Instead, she looked at the person who seemed to be the head and said, “Thank you for delivering the goods, Sir. Let’s do it this way. We’ll check the goods against the list and move them again if there are no flaws or problems. Otherwise, if they are defective, I’ll return the goods.”

Mo Ruyue did not lower her standards just because this person had worked hard to deliver the goods into the mountains. She had already made it clear when she bought the furniture. Moreover, they had signed a contract with relevant terms and conditions. She just had to do things according to the rules.

“What Madam Qin said is right. Naturally, we should check the goods first. Let’s take a look under the carriage first. Otherwise, if we bump into something when moving down, it wouldn’t be our fault, right?”

The head was also a smart man. He deliberately made this request. After all, if they bumped into anything while moving into the room, Mo Ruyue would say that it was their fault. Then, they would not be able to explain themselves.

The two of them walked around the ox-cart to look at the goods. Fortunately, the furniture was not stacked on the cart, so it was easy for her to see if there were any flaws.

After looking through all the furniture, Mo Ruyue indicated to the villagers that they could start unloading the goods.

Originally, the furniture store had also sent people to unload the furniture. The people who were selected were still complaining in their hearts. After all, there were four complete sets of furniture and many camphor wood boxes. If they had to rely on only a few people to move everything, they would be exhausted to death.

However, they didn’t expect so many people from the village to come to help. This made the people who accompanied them to unload the goods overjoyed. This way, their workload was reduced a lot, but the subsidy for working outside the village was not a penny less. They even earned this time.

Mo Ruyue didn’t ask everyone to remove all the furniture in one go. Instead, they removed one set after another. The removed furniture was also moved into the corresponding room at the first moment and placed in the appropriate position according to her requirements.

She took out a piece of white paper that was almost one and a half meters wide. On it was the floor plan of the entire new house, and even the layout of the furniture in the room.

This was what she had drawn when she was rushing to make the bamboo charcoal bags in the tool room last night. This piece of paper was hung on the wall outside the door. When everyone was moving the furniture, they only needed to take a look, correspond the room to the furniture, and place them according to the instructions on it. There was no need to ask Mo Ruyue over and over again.

This side was bustling with people coming and going, but there were a few people looking at this side from a distance, their eyes revealing two cold glints of resentment.

Mo Ruyue had long discovered the people spying in the dark. She knew without thinking that it was the second branch of the Qin family. However, if they did not take the initiative to find trouble, she would not take the initiative to teach them a lesson either.

After all the furniture had been moved, it was already afternoon. The villagers who came back to help each brought dry food. After all, Mo Ruyue could still make a pot of noodle soup for them yesterday, but he had no time today.

The villagers’ self-awareness saved Mo Ruyue a lot of trouble. But even if they didn’t realize it, she didn’t have time to cook for them today. She was too busy with the house’s matters. She couldn’t let the children cook for adults like them either.
