56 Entering the Mountains Together

His words were equivalent to a hammer to settle the matter. No matter how unwilling Qin Shi was, when she saw her son’s current appearance and the Village Chief’s gloomy face, she knew that she would definitely have to suffer this silent loss.

When the surrounding villagers saw this, they knew that this time, the Qin family had suffered a great loss. After all, if someone really sneaked into the Qin Family’s first branch to steal things, then it would all be on the Qin Family’s second branch.

However, no one said anything about it. After all, Qin Xu was the one who was in the wrong first and was caught red-handed. They were also the ones who had evil intentions and deliberately hid a key to do bad things. Now, they deserved their retribution.

After Qin Xu handed over the key in his hand, Da Bao came forward to untie him.

He had struggled too hard before, and the more he struggled, the tighter the knot became. Therefore, after struggling for a long time, not only did Da Bao not untie it, but the rope also tightened into his skin, causing Qin Xu to cry out in pain.

“Da Bao, you should be careful when you untie the lasso. The more the prey struggles, the tighter the live knot will be. So, before you untie the lasso, you should find something between the prey and the lasso to prevent the lasso from tightening. Now, you can only cut it.”

Mo Ruyue walked over and took out a pair of small scissors from somewhere. She squatted beside Qin Xu and didn’t untie the noose immediately. Instead, she started to teach him on the spot.

“You, why aren’t you releasing me? It hurts!”

Qin Xu was in pain and embarrassed. He didn’t want to stay in this house for a second longer. Seeing that Mo Ruyue actually compared him to a wild animal and taught a child on the spot, he was suddenly furious.

“Why are you shouting? You’re still in the right after being trapped?”

Mo Ruyue glared at him. Qin Xu caught that flash of cold killing intent, and his heart couldn’t help but shiver. When he looked again, there was only a thick contempt.

He thought he was hallucinating, but Mo Ruyue was very different from before. He could no longer see the soft fear in her eyes. In its place were indifference and murderous intent, making people feel fearful at the sight of her beast-like eyes.

Mo Ruyue inserted the scissors between the lasso and Qin Xu’s ankle. When she cut it, she pulled it up and let the rope cut into his flesh again.

This time, Qin Xu bit his lip and forced back the cry of pain.

Da Bao did not seem to see Mo Ruyue’s actions at all. He only put on a very humble appearance and nodded repeatedly as he listened to her explanation.

“Mother, I’ll remember this. Er Bao and the rest also made mistakes in the same way. In the future, I’ll also teach them what you’ve taught me,”

The mother and son duo seemed to really treat Qin Xu as a teaching material. One taught him seriously, and the other learned well.

Qin Shi and Qin Xu’s faces turned green with anger, but they could not say anything.

Mo Ruyue untied the rope for Qin Xu, got up, and stood to the side with Da Bao. They watched as Old Madam Qin helped Qin Xu up and held him as they hopped out on one leg.

“Remember what I said. Next time, it won’t be just one leg.”

Mo Ruyue’s words came from behind, and the mother and son couldn’t help but shiver.

After they left in a panic, the other villagers saw that there was nothing else to see and also dispersed, leaving only the neighbor Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu behind. The two of them looked at each other and walked towards Mo Ruyue.

“Mo Ruyue, listen to our advice and change this lock. No matter how capable you are, you still have five children with you. Your mother-in-law… Old Madam Qin is not easy to get along with. She has suffered such a big loss from you, and she will get back sooner or later. One could be a thief for a thousand days, but how could one guard against a thief for a thousand days?”

“Yeah, don’t blame us for being nosy. We’ve been neighbors for a few years. Although I didn’t like you when I saw you mistreating the child, now that you’ve changed for the better, I really hope that you and your mother can live a good life together and don’t get into any trouble. ”

Uncle Liu also tried to persuade her. Given his sincere words, he was also really worried about Mo Ruyue and the others.

“Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, I know you have good intentions, but please don’t worry. I won’t joke around with the safety of my babies. I won’t act rashly if I don’t have a good plan. ”

When they saw that Mo Ruyue had already said so, they knew that it was useless to persuade her. Moreover, Mo Ruyue was not someone without ideas or abilities. These few times, she had dealt with Qin Shi and the second branch very miserably. They believed that as long as she was not arrogant and overconfident, she would not suffer any losses.

After everyone had left, Mo Ruyue looked at the babies who had come to her side and said, “It’s alright, let’s go home. ”

“Mother, Grandma, and Uncle, do you still want a room?”

Mo Ruyue had just taken Tang Tang from Da Bao’s arms when she heard her ask in a childish voice.

The smile on her small face was gone, and her expression became unusually serious and melancholic.

“Yes, they also want to take back what belongs to you.”

Mo Ruyue was not like other parents who tried to avoid dark and negative things in front of their children. She brought her children here today to let them see more clearly and teach something useful from it.

“If we don’t give them, they’ll steal, rob, and ruin us?”

San Bao’s eyes reddened. She had played with Qing Yuan before. Second Uncle gave her a sugar ball, but Qing Yuan ‘took’ it away before she could eat it. Now that she thought about it, she must have been cheated!

“Yes, some people only care about their own good. They may be good to you for other purposes, so you all have to learn to distinguish whether the people who smile at you and are good to you are sincere or not.”

Mo Ruyue knew that the babies still couldn’t understand the profound truth, so she let them see it with their own eyes. Of course, it wouldn’t leave any trauma on them. She didn’t get her Ph.D. In psychology in her previous life for nothing, so she naturally had a grasp of the scale and sense of propriety.

The babies were a little depressed for a while, but in Mo Ruyue’s opinion, it was still within control. With the foundation of being ignored in the past few years, in addition to the gradual separation of the family and the two matters this time, at least the babies’ sense of belonging to the Qin Family was minimal now. They were not afraid that the Qin Family’s second branch would come back and play the family card.

The next morning, Mo Ruyue made an announcement to the babies before breakfast.

“You guys have been following my [body-strengthening technique] and [noose trap] for quite some time now. It’s useless to just stay at home and practice. It’s better for you to go out and practice. Let’s go into the mountains to hunt today. Tonight, we’ll use the prey that you’ve caught with your own hands to make a delicious meal. How about it?”

“Mother, you’re bringing us into the mountain?”

Er Bao took the lead to ask. He turned to look at his younger brother and sister. His gaze stopped on Si Bao and Tang Tang for a while before he said, “Are Si Bao and Tang Tang going too?”

Mo Ruyue nodded. “You learned the skill together. If you want to practice, of course, you have to do it together. No one can fall behind.”

Initially, Si Bao and Tang Tang looked at their brothers enviously. They thought that they were too young to enter the mountain. They did not expect their mother to say that they could also go together. They immediately became spirited.

“Mother, can I go too?”

“Mother, Tang Tang is also going?”

The two babies asked in unison.

They stared at Mo Ruyue anxiously, afraid that she would suddenly go back on her words and not bring them into the mountain again.

“Yes, you guys should go too. Although you’re young, you’re growing up very quickly. In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown into young men and big girls. You can’t always hide behind your brothers and ask for protection, right?”

Mo Ruyue was very good at seizing the best opportunity to educate children, so of course, she would not let it go easily.

“Mm! We’re growing really fast!”

The two babies nodded hard at the same time. The frustration on their faces was swept away, and their little chins were raised, looking very proud and accomplished.
