Chapter 101

101 I just want to make a little money

When the old man said this, Mo Ruyue carefully sized him up again. From the meaning of his words, he was not only the doctor of Huichun Hall, but also the founder of Huichun Hall, which meant that he was an imperial doctor from the palace.

After the old man revealed his identity, Mo Ruyue didn’t want to have anything to do with him.

Although the old man must be a master of medicine, the people he knew were all nobles. If they heard the news and wanted her to treat them, he couldn’t refuse.

If she were to get involved in any conspiracies again, no matter if it was within the wealthy families or between the wealthy families, it would not be something she could participate in. If she was not careful, she could easily be killed.

Mo Ruyue was not afraid of being alone, but it was still the same reason. She had five babies with her. No matter how careful she was, it was inevitable that she would make mistakes. Moreover, if something really happened, they couldn’t follow her and live a life of hiding from her.

!!

So she still shook her head. “Old Sir, I don’t have that many thoughts. I just want to earn a little money and raise my babies safely.”

After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly and turned around to leave with her babies.

The old man didn’t stop them. He just looked at their backs and couldn’t help but sigh.

Mo Ruyue didn’t take the babies home directly. Since everyone was in the county now and she had a thick stack of silver notes on her, she would take this opportunity to take them for a good stroll.

Among the babies, only Da Bao and Er Bao had come to the county town with Mo Ruyue before. Every time they came, it was to sell goods. Although they had also followed Mo Ruyue to shop in some shops when she was shopping, most of them were just cursory glances and did not have much fun.

This time, Mo Ruyue also knew that they were all frightened and wanted them to relax. That was why she deliberately let them have fun in the city.

It was already past noon, and the babies were famished. Mo Ruyue took them directly to Guanglai Tower.

Because Mo Ruyue had signed a supply agreement with the restaurant, she would come over to deliver the game every few days. She was already very familiar with the staff of the restaurant, so after a brief greeting, she was directly led to a private room on the second floor by the staff.

“Mother, are we, are we really going to eat here?”

San Bao walked over with her mouth wide open.

It was impossible to see such a grand house in the Qin Village. It was several stories high, and the interior was so polished that it could reflect people. There were so many tables and chairs, and even the people walking in and out were more dignified than the village’s richest and most powerful village chief and wealthy people.

San Bao had never seen such a situation before. She finally found her voice and asked Mo Ruyue in disbelief.

“Yes, let’s have a meal here today. After that, we’ll walk around the city in the afternoon and buy some things to play with, eat, and use. Tonight, we’ll eat fresh food and not cook.”

Mo Ruyue’s announcement immediately caused the babies to cheer.

Er Bao sneaked a glance at his elder brother before he cheered. When he saw that he only frowned slightly and did not express any objection, he also felt at ease and joined the cheering of his younger brothers and sisters.

Soon, the waiter came with the menu. The babies chattered around the menu, but they did not start ordering.

“What’s wrong? Eat whatever you want to eat. Mother has enough money.”

Although Mo Ruyue often made a lot of delicious food for them, eating in a restaurant was a different atmosphere and a different taste. It was just that she felt it was strange when she saw her babies not ordering.

“Mother, we can’t read. We… We can’t understand.”

Er Bao said, a little embarrassed.

“You can’t read?”

Mo Ruyue was stunned. That accusation was indeed written by someone, but the signatures at the end were all crooked. It was all written by the babies.

“Yes, we hired a lawyer to write it. As for the later part, which said that the family members had to sign it personally, we had to trace our names.”

Mo Ruyue understood Er Bao’s explanation.

It turned out that those words were copied. No wonder some of the structure of the strokes had been separated. If one did not look carefully, one would not know what words were written.

“Then do you want to learn how to read?”

Mo Ruyue suddenly asked.

When the babies heard this, they were all stunned. Each of them couldn’t believe their ears and just looked at Mo Ruyue in a daze.

“Let’s talk about this later. Let’s order the food first.”

Mo Ruyue accidentally saw that the waiter was still waiting at the side, so she directly took the menu. Since the babies were illiterate, she could only do it on their behalf.

She had been dealing with restaurants for a long time, so she naturally knew that the dishes were not bad. After all, they could not be compared to the ones she made personally. However, it was still possible to pick the big ones among the short ones.

That waiter had obviously heard that Mo Ruyue had been sued by the county magistrate’s wife. This matter had spread like wildfire in the entire county. Now that the protagonist of the incident was in front of him, how could he control his curiosity?

However, he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask, so even if he took the menu, he still dawdled and refused to leave.

“What’s the matter? Is there anything else?”

It wasn’t that Mo Ruyue didn’t see through the waiter’s thoughts, but she didn’t want to become the topic of conversation for others, so she deliberately pretended not to see it and only asked indifferently.

“Oh, no, no, nothing. I’m just a little curious.”

The waiter couldn’t help but ask Mo Ruyue, “Lady Qin, I heard that you went behind the county magistrate’s wife’s back and reported? It’s really not easy to escape unscathed.”

“Tell me, what happened?”

Mo Ruyue originally thought that her attitude would be enough to make people back off. She didn’t expect that this person actually didn’t know how to read the situation, and her gaze instantly turned cold.

“If you don’t serve me food soon, the babies will be famished. Now is not the time to gossip.”

When Mo Ruyue’s expression turned cold, her aura was particularly intimidating. In addition, she had a good relationship with the young master, so the waiters in the restaurant were very good at reading people. When they saw that she was a little angry, they immediately backed off.

He quickly said with a smile, “Lady Qin, look, isn’t this just a casual chat? Alright, alright, alright, I’ll rush the food for you now, please don’t be angry!”

The waiter left in a hurry as he spoke. He was afraid that he would anger Mo Ruyue and let the young master know what trouble he had caused.

Very soon, the food that Mo Ruyue had ordered was served. She and the babies were also hungry, so they raised their chopsticks and started eating without a word.

Although the taste of this dish wasn’t as good as Mo Ruyue’s personally made food, it was still fresh and full of flavor. Everyone ate it all.

After they had eaten their fill, Er Bao brought up the old words again. He was still thinking about what his mother had said previously, that was to let them read and write.

“Mother, do you really want us to learn how to read?”
