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

Splitting up

The village chief saw Qin Shi being pressed to the ground by Mo Ruyue. One hand was tied behind her back, and the other hand and two feet kept flapping like a turtle that couldn’t flip over. It was simply an ugly scene.

He felt really embarrassed, so he coldly rebuked, “Qin family, now you are being caught red-handed, yet you still want to make a false accusation and hurt people? Do you still remember that you’re a mother-in-law and an elder? Look at you now. Where’s the dignity of an elder?”

How could Qin Shi listen to these things? She only cared about wailing like a ghost and howling like a wolf. Not only was her arm in pain as if it was about to break, but even her heart was in so much pain that it trembled. If she were to take out everything from her pocket, it would simply be taking her life.

“Alright, stop howling! If you want to see an official, that’s up to you!”

The village chief was angered by Qin Shi and immediately threw out a ruthless sentence.

“When you meet the officials, you’ll get your share as well. You’ll also drag down the reputation of the entire village. If everyone has any grievances against you in the future, don’t come to me to mediate. I can’t control it!”

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. It seemed that he intended to let the Qin family run its course.

Qin Shi’s crying stopped. When she saw the unfriendly gazes of the surrounding villagers, she was instantly dumbfounded.

How did she become the target of public criticism now?

Qin Shi had only been in a daze for a while, but the village chief was already about to walk out of the crowd. She suddenly came back to her senses and repeatedly shouted, “I agree, I agree to move out again. I don’t want to see the officials!”

Even if she was reluctant to part with the Qin family’s property, she had to weigh the pros and cons of seeing an official.

On a smaller scale, the Qin family’s reputation was definitely ruined. Not to mention her remaining son, Qin Xu, and even her two grandsons, Qing Yuan and Qing Fei, would not be able to lift their heads in this life.

They were all from the same clan and clan. If they didn’t have the backing of the clan, even if they moved out of the Qin village in the future, they would still be rootless duckweeds and would be bullied to death.

After being torn from left to right and suffering for a while, Qin Shi finally made a painful decision to spend some money to avoid disaster. She would give up a little money to send Mo Ruyue away. It was better than going to see an official.

It was just that she didn’t expect that what Mo Ruyue wanted was not a small amount of money.

When the village head heard that Qin Shi had compromised, he walked back with a dark face and said to her, “You acknowledged the fact that you’ve moved out of the family and returned both mother and son’s household registration to their own hands?”

“I’ll admit it, I’ll admit it. ” Qin Shi responded repeatedly.

“Qin family, you should let go of your mother-in-law too. We should all sit down and talk about this. If you keep her down like this, how are we going to talk about this?”

The village head also said to Mo Ruyue. Which mother-in-law would be pressed down on the ground by her daughter-in-law all the time? It was really too unsightly.

Only then did Mo Ruyue loosen her grip. Qin Shi only felt that the heavy burden on her back had been lifted by something. Her entire body became relaxed.

However, when she tried to get up, she had no strength at all. She struggled for a long time but still couldn’t get up.

There was still a woman who was closer and came over to give a hand. Only then did she help Qin Shi up.

“Qin family, it’s fine if you don’t help your mother-in-law up, but why are you still holding on to her hand?”

The woman asked casually. She really couldn’t figure out Mo Ruyue’s intentions.

“I can’t let go of her hand before I get a cut of the family.”

“Catch the person and the stolen goods. I’m holding both the person and the stolen goods in my hands now,” Mo Ruyue said indifferently.

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes turned to the clothes that the two were holding in their hands. From what Mo Ruyue said, could it be that her gold and silver notes were sewn into the clothes?

Qin Shi was also stunned when she heard this. She looked at the clothes in her hand. If she had known earlier, she would have used a pair of scissors to cut the clothes open. Then, she wouldn’t have been caught on the spot and not have gotten a single copper coin.

“Alright, let’s do as the Qin family said. We’ll re-divide the family in front of everyone.”

The village chief announced.

The separation of the family was such a big matter.

Other than the village head, the village elders also had to be witnesses. Just now, someone had already invited the elders over. The rest of the people helped to move tables and chairs, brought paper and pen, and were ready to write down the new contract for the separation of the family.

After everyone had arrived, the village chief said to Mo Ruyue, “Qin family, you were the one who proposed the separation. What do you want? Tell me.”

Mo Ruyue looked around the crowd and shook her head. “Can I trouble any uncle to do me a favor and go to the back mountain to find my family’s Da Bao? He is the eldest son of my late husband. We can’t do this without him.”

She was very clear about the original owner’s identity.

She was a widow with a different surname and didn’t even leave any children for Qin Ming. Even if the village agreed to her request to separate from the family, they would definitely side with the Qin family.

Therefore, Da Bao’s identity as the eldest grandson was very important.

As soon as Qin Shi heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth.

Since when did this lowly hussy become so smart? She knew how to rely on Da Bao to fight for the right to speak and the initiative.

However, Mo Ruyue’s request was very reasonable, so no one could raise any objections. Some people took the initiative to go to the back mountain to find Da Bao, and soon they saw Da Bao running over.

Perhaps it was because he had come in a hurry, but it was only a few steps away. Da Bao was also sweating. After seeing Mo Ruyue, he surprisingly did not talk back to her. Instead, he stood beside her and said,

“Mother, I’m late.”

“It’s not too late. It hasn’t even started, so it’s not too late. ”

Mo Ruyue rubbed the top of his head, which was a rare sight. Then, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled Da Bao into her arms.

“Just now, the village chief said that he wanted to see if we have any requests to split the family. Mother thought that since you are the eldest son and grandson, you should have the right to speak.”

Da Bao turned to look at her with a complicated look in his eyes. He then turned to the village chief and said, “Uncle village chief, since we’re going to split the family, the property should be split equally between each family. However, before my father joined the army and left home, the Qin family had always relied on my father to support the family.”

“After that, my father’s military pay, military rewards, and pension, our first household didn’t see a single cent. Not only did we not see it, but we were also even kicked out of the door at the first moment.”

“So it’s not too much for our first household to have more of the family property, right?”

He was only eleven years old, but he was eloquent and had a clear mind. What he said was reasonable, and many villagers nodded in agreement.

It was indeed not right to be the Qin Shi. It was clearly the family business accumulated by the first branch, but in the end, it all fell into her and the second branch’s pockets, and they even drove the first branch’s family out of the door.

If Mo Ruyue was said to be a jinx to her husband, then she could have just driven her away. But she also drove out the five babies. They were Qin Ming’s own flesh and blood! It didn’t fall from Mo Ruyue’s body, so what did it have to do with her?

To put it bluntly, she still felt that the five babies were a burden. Raising one more person meant spending one more portion of the money and delaying her, Qin Shi’s, food and enjoyment.

Qin Shi stared at Da Bao and said sinisterly, “Da Bao, you have to think carefully. You can’t say things casually! If your father was still alive, he would have been able to support and be filial to me for decades. Now that he’s gone, what’s wrong with me leaving some money for myself to fulfill his filial piety?”

“Even if it’s you, you have to be filial on his behalf. After all, you’re the eldest grandson of the Qin family!”
