Chapter 69 - 69 Finally Peace
69 Finally Peace
The few of them looked at each other in dismay. They knew that this was not a good time to speak, but they were already here and had come with gifts. If they just left without even entering, wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?
In the end, Juan Zi, who was the first to speak, said, “Qin family, I’m sure you know why we’re here. Let’s not beat around the bush.”
“At first, we thought that Divine Physician Qin was a Divine Physician who could cure all diseases. Now, we know that we mistook fish eyes for pearls and turned a blind eye to those who are truly capable. We admit that we’re blind!”
“We didn’t treat you well in the past, but don’t take it to heart. We’re all here to apologize to you. No matter what, we were the ones who gave them food to eat when you abused the babies back then. That’s why you and your mother are where you are today.”
The woman said a lot in one breath and finally stopped to take a breath. Mo Ruyue didn’t say anything and just listened to her. The expression on her face didn’t change from the beginning to the end.
“It’s… It’s not like we’re forcing you to repay us. We might have misunderstood you, but we did take care of your babies. Can’t we just make up for it? we’ll see each other often in the future, so we should get along well.”
“Yes, you’re right, aunt. Let’s not talk about the past and see what happens in the future.”
Mo Ruyue’s words were quickly followed up, and her attitude seemed very sincere, but she was too tight-lipped on the topic, making it difficult for people to continue.
“How about this? We don’t have much money, so we just have some of our own chicken and duck. You can just accept them, and we’ll forget about our past grudges. We’ll take care of each other in the future, how about it?”
“Of course that’s good, but I’m afraid I won’t have much time to take care of everyone after this.”
Mo Ruyue’s words startled everyone. They hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter with the Qin clan? Did something happen? Tell us and we’ll help you think of a way. ”
“No, I just want to earn more money during this period of time. In the future, I will leave Qin Village and go to the county. After all, the children can’t always stay in the mountains. Those who need to study should study, and those who need to learn skills should learn. It’s always good to have more opportunities.”
These words were Mo Ruyue’s true thoughts, and she didn’t just use them to stall everyone.
Although she didn’t want the five babies to grow up to be big villains in the future, she also didn’t want them to live their lives in the mountains without achieving anything.
Therefore, she would definitely go to the county, but not now.
“What? You’re planning to leave the village for the city?”
Someone exclaimed and quickly asked, “Then you’re willing to leave behind such a new house and such a large piece of land? I’ve heard that the private courtyards in the city aren’t as spacious as ours, and it’s very crowded.”
“That’s right, Qin Family. Although you’re doing this for the children’s studies, the Qin Family Village is their roots. If the houses and land here are gone, how are you going to make them return to their roots in the future?”
“That’s right. If it were me, I wouldn’t be willing to give up such a big house and so much land. It was also bought with a lot of money.”
Everyone was talking at the same time. They had long forgotten their original intention of coming here. Now, the focus of the discussion was on what to do with the house and land if Mo Ruyue entered the city.
“Qin Family, how about this? If you enter the city in the future, we can help you look after your house and land. This way, you don’t have to worry about not coming back for a year or so. If the house rots and the land shakes, it will be a pity!”
Finally, someone couldn’t help but say what was in his heart. Although the others didn’t directly express their agreement, the naked desire in their eyes had already revealed their true feelings.
Mo Ruyue looked at the group of people in front of her. As expected, they swarmed forward the moment they heard that there was an advantage to take, as if they were sure that they could really take advantage of her.
She shook her head and said indifferently, “then I won’t trouble you guys. You have your own family affairs and fields to work on. I’m afraid you won’t be able to take care of me.”
“No, no, how could I? It’s not hard at all!”
“Yeah, we mountain people are least afraid of suffering.”
“That’s right. As long as he’s handed over to us, there’s no mistake!”
Seeing that there was a chance, everyone hurriedly wanted to work harder and settle this matter now. They didn’t expect Mo Ruyue’s next words to shatter their daydreams.
“When the time comes, I’ll probably hire professionals from the city to help me look after the real estate and land. After all, as you said, these are the children’s roots. Besides, whether it’s the house or the land, they were exchanged with their father’s blood and sweat. Naturally, I can’t be negligent.”
Although Mo Ruyue didn’t say it clearly, everyone knew what this “slow” meant.
The reason why they were so keen on helping Mo Ruyue manage the real estate and land was mainly because they could get a lot of money. When Mo Ruyue entered the city, she would be busy with her business and her children would have to go to school. She was afraid that she would not have much time to return to the countryside.
Such a large house was completely tidied up and rented to travelers crossing the mountain or the Masters, madams, young ladies, and young masters who came to the city to enjoy the scenery. The rent on that day was quite a lot.
As for the grain from the land, a part of it could also be used as a reward for their hard work. No matter how they looked at it, it was a sure-win and not a loss. However, Mo Ruyue’s words made them give up on this idea. It turned out that they had already considered everything so thoroughly, and they had even been excited for nothing.
In the end, the neighbors who came to the house still left in disappointment. Mo Ruyue didn’t accept the gifts they brought. As for the matter of offending people because of this, she didn’t take it to heart at all. At most, she would just leave with her babies. With her current ability to make money, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to settle down in the city.
After that, no one came to disturb them, and the front of the Qin Family’s gate finally quieted down.
After Mo Ruyue sent away the troublesome neighbors, she turned around and saw a few babies standing in a row behind her, each of them looking extremely remorseful.
“What’s wrong? I’m fine. Why do you all have such expressions?”
Mo Ruyue glanced at Da Bao as he spoke. He must have told the babies what had happened before, so they had such expressions.
“Mother, I’m sorry.”
Er Bao’s words confirmed that Mo Ruyue’s thoughts were right.
“Sorry for what?”
Mo Ruyue was not prepared to say anything to the babies about this, but since they had come to her door, she didn’t mind taking the opportunity to guide them.
“We… We shouldn’t have urged you to save her. In the end, we got ourselves into so much trouble.”
Er Bao’s ability to express himself was not bad. His ability to recognize and summarize was also acceptable. However, he was still young after all. There were still some deeper things that he could not understand and could not say.
