102 One Must Be Clear About Gratitude And Grudges

As soon as he spoke, the few babies who were still eating after-meal snacks also stopped and looked at Mo Ruyue with anticipation.

Da Bao, who was originally drinking tea, also put down the teacup in his hand.

It would be a good thing for the siblings if they could read and write. It was just that it was very expensive for one person to study, not to mention the five of them. Especially since Tang Tang was a little girl. Even if Mo Ruyue was very good at earning money now, she might not be able to afford it.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he heard Mo Ruyue say, “Didn’t mother ask you just now? First, it depends on whether you are willing or not, and also whether you can persist.”

“If you’re going to fish for three days and dry the net for two days, then don’t waste your energy and start.”

Mo Ruyue liked to say the ugly things first. Although she had already taken the babies under her wings, she still didn’t want to force them to do anything they didn’t want to do.

“Mother, I can help too. I can earn money.”

Da Bao’s sudden words stunned Mo Ruyue.

Mo Ruyue’s gaze caused Da Bao to misunderstand. He lowered his head and his face was visibly red. Then, he suddenly raised his head and his eyes flashed with a fierce gaze like that of a wolf cub.

“I don’t mind not studying. I can work with you to earn money, as long as my younger brothers and sisters can read and write!”

Da Bao roared loudly, scaring the babies who were playing and laughing.

He regretted it the moment he shouted. His mother did not say anything, so why was he throwing a tantrum here?

Although Da Bao also wanted to say sorry, the three words kept on spinning around his mouth and he could not say them no matter what.

“When did I say you can stop studying? Are you trying to be lazy?”

Mo Ruyue raised an eyebrow. Her words also stunned Da Bao. Was she not angry?

“I’m saying that I can help you…”

Da Bao wanted to explain again but was interrupted by Mo Ruyue.

“It’s not like I can’t afford it. Why would I need your help? Don’t find excuses for not wanting to study.”

Mo Ruyue was deliberately goading him. She now understood the personalities of the babies. Sometimes, she could only “fight poison with poison” with Da Bao. This was also the best way to prevent him from getting to a dead end.

“It’s not that I don’t want to study, I just…”

Da Bao was a little anxious. He tried to explain again. Suddenly, he saw Mo Ruyue looking at him with a faint smile. An idea flashed in his mind as if he had thought of something.

“You’re just a little self-righteous.”

Mo Ruyue said indifferently, and then added, “But I have good intentions.”

This move was called “giving a carrot after a stick” and it was said to be very effective. She tried it out.

Da Bao finally reacted. Mo Ruyue was teasing him. He turned his head away with a dark expression and simply ignored her.

Mo Ruyue shook her head. He looked quite like her when he was calm in court. Why was he so silly and slow at this time?

However, this contrast was quite cute when it came to him.

She then turned to look at the other babies, and all she got in return were pairs of eyes as moist as a deer’s.

“Alright, now tell mother, can you bear the pain of studying? Do you want to read and write?”

Mo Ruyue asked again. She had not thought about this question before, so it was not too late to make up for it now.

“Mother, we’re not afraid of suffering. We didn’t even miss the morning and evening classes of martial arts, let alone reading and writing!”

Er Bao was the first one to answer. He was like the babies’ spokesperson now. After he finished speaking, the other babies immediately nodded their heads non-stop like chicks pecking at rice.

If their mother was really willing to let them study, that was something they didn’t even dare to think about in the past. They even persevered in learning martial arts, what kind of hardship could they not endure?

Mo Ruyue glanced at Da Bao again and happened to catch his sneaky look. Da Bao, who was caught red-handed, wanted to turn his head, but it was too late. He also knew that she was asking for his opinion, so he nodded his head lightly.

“Great. Since everyone wants to read and write, and they’re ready and aware, then leave the rest to me.”

When she saw Tang Tang coming over and stroking her head, she had already started to calculate this matter in her heart.

After the short interlude at noon, Mo Ruyue continued to take the babies around the city in the afternoon. Whether it was the pastry and candy shops, the stands with the sugar figurines, or even the grocery shops, they all became places where the babies lingered and forgot to return.

As long as it was something they liked, Mo Ruyue would buy it with a wave of her hand. Those were all small things. The real big part was on the books, paper, and pens. The five babies’ slothful fees were nothing.

They strolled all the way until the sun set in the West before Mo Ruyue took the babies to the carriage shop to retrieve the emperor’s carriage that they had stored there. The carriage was already filled with the things that they had bought from various shops.

“Alright, I know that everyone hasn’t had enough fun yet. At least, we haven’t gone anywhere near the county. But it’s getting late, so we should go home. Everyone still has night classes that you haven’t done. You’ll have to make up for them when we get back.”

Before Mo Ruyue drove the carriage, she said to the babies, “Now, everyone, sit tight. We’re going home.”

Da Bao and Er Bao sat on both sides and surrounded their three siblings to ensure that they would not fall off the carriage due to the bumps.

Mo Ruyue turned around and saw this scene. She said with slight surprise, “It’s your first time riding a carriage, but you’re quite skilled.”

“That’s what Grandpa Liu taught us when we came here.”

Da Bao replied, “He sent us home safely. Then, he brought us to write a complaint. Mother, we should thank Grandpa Liu.”

Mo Ruyue nodded. “That’s right. If there’s kindness, there’s kindness. If there’s hatred, there’s hatred. One must clearly distinguish between kindness and hatred. Otherwise, it’s no different from a piece of roasted meat.”

Si Bao was sitting side by side with Tang Tang when she suddenly asked Mo Ruyue, “Mother, is this the roasted meat you made last time? It’s a kind of sweet and oily meat.”

“Yes, that’s the meat,”

Mo Ruyue nodded.

“Then why did it turn into roasted meat when you didn’t say ‘en’ or something? Is it because it has to be wrapped with honey and sauce, um, marinated… Marinated into the flavor? ”

Although Si Bao was young, he was very interested in gourmet cooking, especially sweet Cantonese dishes. Therefore, he had a deep impression of the taste and preparation method of the roast meat.

“Ah?”

Mo Ruyue was stunned.

Initially, she had planned to take the opportunity to educate the babies. However, she did not expect that she would not be able to do so after Si Bao’s question.

So, if one didn’t understand that grudges and grudges could become roast meat, how could one explain this problem?

Mo Ruyue also became distressed for a moment.

“Mother is saying that we have to remember how good the good people are, and also how bad the bad people are. We have to repay the kindness of those who are good to us, and for those who are bad to us, we have to remember that we have to take revenge sooner or later.”

At the crucial moment, he still had to say Da Bao. Once he stepped out, he immediately used simple and easy-to-understand words to explain the matter clearly. He also attracted the attention of the babies and helped Mo Ruyue get out of the situation.
