226 Take The Money
These things were also exchanged with Qin Ming’s life. By right, there should be a copy of the first branch, but the documents for the separation of the family had been set up long ago. Mo Ruyue did not care about these things at all, so at this time, she only glanced at them, but she did not have any thoughts in her heart.
She saw Qin Qingyuan take out a five-tael silver note and a string of notes, which were exactly six taels of silver.
Then, he seemed to hesitate for a moment and turned to look at Mo Ruyue.
“Auntie, can I take an extra tael of silver? Our family is already short on food. Father doesn’t even come home. The moment he comes back, he sells livestock and lands. He doesn’t care about us at all.”
Mo Ruyue glanced at him and said indifferently, “I don’t care about your second branch’s matters. I only care about taking what I should take. As for whether you can get an extra tael of silver, you should ask your grandmother, not me.”
“But Grandma can’t come back now, and we can’t let Father know about this, or he’ll force us to hand over the silver!”
Qin Qingyuan’s eyes reddened instantly. Tears filled his eyes, but they rolled around without overflowing.
The Qin family members were all good-looking. Even though Qin Xu’s character was poor, his face was refined and handsome, making it easy for people to have a good impression of him at first sight.
Qin Qingyuan and Qin Xu were indeed father and son. They looked 80 to 90 percent similar. Their handsome and cute little faces, coupled with their teary eyes, could easily make people feel pity for them.
However, he wasn’t facing his motherly sisters-in-law now, but the cold-hearted Mo Ruyue. So even though he tried hard to keep his eyes open and make it look like tears were about to fall, his eyes almost cramped, Mo Ruyue’s expression didn’t change at all. Even her eyebrows didn’t move.
“Auntie, you have a child too. If Qingyan and the others were injured like me and my sister, and they didn’t have enough to eat or warm themselves, you’d be heartbroken, wouldn’t you? Don’t you feel bad for us?”
“When Qingyan and the others didn’t even get to eat a single grain of rice in the Qin family, did you beg your mother to show them some concern?”
Mo Ruyue’s words made Qin Qingyuan choke for a moment. He rolled his eyes and immediately came up with a set of words. “Auntie, you know that my mother doesn’t have much status in the family. With Grandma and Father’s pressure, she can’t do anything even if she wants to.”
“That’s why you didn’t ask your grandma and dad for help when it came to your family’s matters. Instead, you asked me, an outsider, for help. I advise you not to waste your time on me. Otherwise, even though you’re a child, I won’t pamper you.”
Mo Ruyue didn’t give Qin Qingyuan any face. She still remembered how he had schemed against her family. He was so vicious at such a young age. Even if he starved to death, he wouldn’t be worthy of sympathy.
Seeing that Qin Qingyuan was still unwilling to give up and was about to say something to “persuade” her, she raised her hand and said, “I don’t have time to waste with you right now. Hurry up and pack up. I still have to go and find my babies.”
Qin Qingyuan saw that Mo Ruyue was completely impervious to water and then looked at the box of goods in front of him. A trace of resentment flashed quickly in his eyes, but it was covered by his lowered eyelids, as if no one had noticed.
Even if she didn’t see it with her own eyes, Mo Ruyue knew that he would definitely hold a grudge. However, she didn’t care. He was just a little kid. Why would she be afraid of him turning the world upside down?
“Auntie, are you really not willing to help me?”
Qin Qingyuan asked one last time, but he did not get any response.
Mo Ruyue stared at Qin Qingyuan as he locked the money box again. He didn’t let him bury it in the distance, but used the sleeve arrow to fly up to the beam of the house and put the money box on it.
“This time, your grandma doesn’t have to worry about losing her money box. it’s a good solution, right?”
She patted the dust off her hands while looking at Qin Qingyuan.
“Yes, Auntie’s solution is very good. Even my father can’t snatch this money box away.”
Qin Qingyuan stared at the beam above his head with a complicated expression. It would take a lot of effort to get the money box, but one thing was for sure-qin xu would definitely not be able to get the box.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Mo Ruyue said as she took the lead and went out. This time, she did not stay in the village, but directly galloped in the direction of the county.
Qin Qingyuan looked back at Mo Ruyue doubtfully. He wanted to ask her, but her horse was too fast. The wind whistled in his face, making it difficult for him to even open his eyes, let alone speak.
He tried to open his mouth, but a cold wind immediately gushed into his stomach, and he immediately lost the thought of continuing to speak.
It was not that Mo Ruyue did not care about the whereabouts of the five babies at home, but she realized that the big black horse was not in the stables, and the cart was also gone. When she left the house just now, she saw that Aunt Liu’s house next door was guarded by an iron general, and the couple was not at home, so she more or less had an idea in her heart.
In addition, Du Zhongheng was not around. If he did not know about this matter and saw that the babies were not around, he would either go to the village chief to mobilize the villagers to find them or return to the county town to find her. After all, he knew that she was in the county town.
Now that there was no movement in the village, he would head to the county. there was no mistake.
Mo Ruyue naturally wouldn’t tell Qin Qingyuan these things. That was why she didn’t seem to care when he tried to set her up with this matter just now.
Qin Qingyuan was still far from being able to play mind games with her, Mo Ruyue.
After returning to the county, Mo Ruyue saw that the entrance of Huichun Hall was still crowded. Not many people had left. They were all waiting to see what would happen next.
Although everyone had a gossipy heart, these people’s curiosity was too outrageous. Even if it had been nearly two hours since she left and returned, these people were still waiting. Were they not tired?
As soon as Qin Qingyuan appeared, Qin Shi’s eyes were fixed on him, especially on his hands and chest. It was as if she wished she had a pair of x-ray eyes to see how much money he had taken and whether he was hiding anything.
“Grandma, this is your key.”
Qin Qingyuan walked to Qin Shi’s side, took out the key from his pocket, and handed it over. Qin Shi grabbed it and held it tightly in her arms. she then asked, “How many things did you take from inside?”
“I only took six taels of silver, not more and not less, Aunt can testify for me.”
Qin Qingyuan said and turned to look at Mo Ruyue.
He wanted to take more, but just as he turned his body slightly to the side, trying to hide a piece of silver in his hand under the cover of his sleeve, the eyes on him became sharper. It was obvious that they had discovered his intention.
Under such circumstances, he only needed to try once and he would know that it was impossible. In the end, he could only unwillingly give up on this idea.
“That’s right. I can testify for him. As for whether the old lady believes it or not, you can do it yourself when you’re out of prison. “
