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

Chapter 197 - 197 Warming Up



197 Warming Up

“This packet is to be boiled and taken. This packet is to be mixed with water into a paste for external application. Don’t mix the medicine for your mother with the medicine for your brother, or it will cause poisoning, so you should be more careful.”

Mo Ruyue had only reminded her this way out of a doctor’s instinct. At the same time, it was also to prevent Qin Qingfei from making a mistake and pushing the blame on her if she could not explain clearly.

“Aunt, I don’t know how to cook medicine, I don’t know how to cook medicine, I don’t know how to cook medicine, I don’t know how to cook medicine.”

Qin Qingfei was reluctant to leave. After a long time, she finally opened her mouth and whispered.

“It’s not difficult to decoct the medicine. Both medicines are taken with 30% medicine and 70% water. You just need to decoct it three times to make a bowl of medicinal soup. Don’t you understand?”

Mo Ruyue knew that Qin Qingfei wanted her to brew the medicine for her. However, she was only two years younger than Da Bao and was not born in a noble family. She could not even do such a small thing like brewing medicine, and she still wanted Mo Ruyue to help?

What kind of daydream are you having?

Moreover, if there was a first, there would be a second, and a third. Once this was made, there was no way to refuse it later.

In the end, Qin Qingfei still returned in disappointment. She didn’t manage to make Mo Ruyue have any hidden feelings for her.

However, she still thought of a way. She went to the neighbor’s house next to the old house and cried. As she spoke, she cried until her face was covered with snot and tears. In the end, she managed to persuade the neighbor aunt to help her boil medicine.

That was not all. Although Qin Qingyuan was lying on the bed and could not move, he still had a sweet mouth. He coaxed the neighbor to finish brewing the medicine and made a simple dinner for him.

The noodle slice soup was paired with wild herbs. There was not even any minced meat in the kitchen. Even the oil was only a small bowl of lard.

“Even if you want to get the fine for your aunt, you don’t have to be so stingy on food, right? How can a patient eat such unnutritious food?”

The neighbor aunt complained as she cooked. Even if the Qin family’s second son’s life was not as good as before, Qin Shi still had some things in her hands. It was not to the extent that there was no meat in the kitchen.

Now that he had fallen to this state, it seemed that he had really been forced by Mo Ruyue to the point of no choice.

“Aunt, I also want to get some good things for my mother and brother to nourish their bodies, but look at our family now. Grandma is in prison, and Father said he went to get money, but I don’t know where he went. Aunt, where am I going to get things to nourish my body by myself?”

Seeing that Qin Qingfei was about to cry again, the aunt hurriedly tried to persuade her.

“Aiya, Qingfei, don’t cry. Your mother and brother are all relying on you now. If you collapse again, who will take care of them? How about this, I see there are two chickens in the yard.”

“I’ll help you kill one and give you two eggs. I’ll make soup for your mother and brother to nourish their bodies, okay?”

The neighbor’s aunt’s suggestion made Qin Qingfei shake her head like a rattle-drum, and she hurriedly said, “No, no, you can’t kill that chicken! My father said that he could at least sell it for a few pennies. If he comes back and sees that the chicken was killed, he will be angry.”

Seeing the sympathy on the neighbor’s wife’s face, she took the opportunity to say, “Aunty, you’re a kind person. You’ve already helped me a lot by helping me brew the medicine. Although it’s difficult to ask, can I share a chicken with you? As for those two eggs, when my mother and brother recover, I’ll go up the mountain to hunt rabbits and pheasants to return them to you.”

The neighbor aunt would never have thought that she would have to sacrifice her own chicken to help out.

Qin Qingfei looked at her with her red and swollen eyes. Qin Qingyuan’s violent coughing came from the room. The neighbor turned her head inadvertently and saw a few heads quickly shrinking back at the entrance of the courtyard. She had no idea how long they had been stared at.

Helplessly, she could only reluctantly agree, but in her heart, she planned to go back and catch the smallest and thinnest chicken. She couldn’t just let others take advantage of her family like this.

When night fell, Qin Qingyuan and Madam Wang had a bowl of hot chicken soup. Even Qin Qingfei had a big bowl full for herself.

At first, Madam Wang was still hesitating. If she didn’t leave a bowl for Qin Xu, he would fly into a rage when he came back. But when the sky turned dark and all the lights in the village went out, Madam Wang finally gave up.

“Mother, according to Father’s temperament, we ate more than half a pot of chicken soup before he came back. Do you think that you can make him show mercy by leaving only half a pot?”

Qin Qingyuan said indifferently.

“He’s your father after all. When do we not wait for your grandma and your father to start eating? It’s only right if he gets angry.”

Madam Wang finally found a reason, but as soon as she said it, Qin Qingyuan sneered.

“Mother, you are not stupid. Did you think that you are really stupid after playing the stupid role for so long? Now that your son and daughter are about to starve to death at home, why don’t you think of a way and just wait for death?”

Qin Qingyuan’s words were so aggressive that Madam Née Wang looked at him in a daze and was frightened for a moment.

“Qingyuan, what are you saying? Why can’t Mother understand?”

She forced out a smile and asked nervously.

“Mother, I know you’ve been putting up with it all this time because of Qingfei and me. I appreciate your kindness, but look at him now. He doesn’t care about you anymore. He doesn’t even care about us anymore. If you let go now, what will Qingfei and I do?”

Qin Qingyuan knew that he and his sister were his mother’s weak spots, and he was the only hope for his mother to live a good life. Therefore, he kept poking at this point with every sentence, as he didn’t believe that he couldn’t wake his mother up.

Now, he had no hope for his father, but he was still too young and couldn’t start his own family yet. He could only pull his mother and sister to his side, and the three of them could huddle together for warmth.

Madam Née Wang listened to her son’s words and then looked at her daughter, who was carefully blowing on the hot steam of the chicken soup and taking small sips of it. A thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

On the other hand, in the Qin family’s new residence, Mo Ruyue sent Du Zhongheng off and began to prepare dinner for the babies.

She didn’t have much time at home now, but as long as she could make it in time for dinner, she would personally cook for the babies. It was also a disguised compensation.

But today, she had just put on her apron when she was surrounded by the babies.

“Mother, is Second Aunt alright?”

Er Bao asked hesitantly.

They also knew that the second branch’s current situation was all their own fault. In the past, they had suffered a lot from Qin Qingfei. Although Qin Qingyuan had never said anything bad, his eyes were always slanted when he looked at them. The coldness in his eyes made them even more uncomfortable.

However, now that they had really met with a disaster, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Perhaps it was because they were both surnamed Qin, or perhaps it was because he thought of the past and suddenly felt a little nostalgic.

Mo Ruyue could understand the babies’ complicated feelings at this time, but she didn’t agree to let them develop any unnecessary sympathy.

Regardless of whether it was the Qin Shi or the second branch of the Qin family, they had never treated the people of the first branch as family.

“Your second aunt was injured by your second uncle. She and Qin Qingyuan are lying in bed now, and Qin Qingfei is taking care of them alone.

“Why did Second Uncle hit Second Aunt?”
