236 A Mysterious Gift
The babies had already eaten dinner according to Mo Ruyue’s instructions and left some warm in the pot for her.
“Mother, what mysterious gift do you have that you have to rush to prepare today? Don’t you have many days off? You can make it even if you prepare it tomorrow,”
Er Bao walked over. Although he was disagreeing with her, his eyes kept sizing up Mo Ruyue’s body as if he wanted to see where her so-called mysterious gift was hidden.
“There’s still tomorrow’s work to be done. It just so happens that the sky hasn’t turned dark by then, so I thought I’d go look for the materials while I was at it. ”
!!
When Mo Ruyue said that, Er Bao reacted. “So you only went to find the materials and haven’t made it yet?”
“Aiya, Second Brother, why are you so anxious? No matter what kind of gift mother will prepare for us, it will definitely be the best and one of a kind. In any case, we will be able to see it before we enter the school, so don’t rush mother now.”
San Bao seemed to be very considerate, but his eyes were also rolling. The curiosity and anticipation in his eyes were not any less than Er Bao’s.
“Alright, you two, don’t block me. Quickly let Mother go eat first.”
It was Da Bao who came forward to stop his two younger brothers again. He was still waiting for his mother to tell him what had happened after dinner.
San Bao stuck out his tongue and ran to the stable first. He had two apples in his pocket. He wanted to give one to the Big Black and Brown.
Every animal in Mo Ruyue’s house had a name, even a little chick. Of course, this was all because of Tang tang and Qin Qingwan’s “good deed”. They insisted that every animal was a part of the family, so they had to have a name.
However, Tang Tang was really a genius at naming. The big black horse was called Big Black, and the brown horse was called Brown. The group of chicks lined up from chick one to chick forty-five.
In fact, there were only forty-four chicks, but under the strong protest of the other four brothers, a number was removed and a number was added, so there were forty-five chicks.
What the four boys couldn’t figure out the most was how Tang Tang could distinguish the forty-four chicks without any marks.
What was even more shocking was that after the chicklings heard their numbers, they actually responded to little candy. This was really something that could not help but make people click their tongues in wonder.
It was not only the little chick that was like this. The other poultry in the house had the best relationship with Tang Tang and they especially listened to her commands. Tang Tang had a natural affinity with animals. This was something that San Bao could not get even if he was envious.
Mo Ruyue went to have dinner first. When she cleaned up the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, the babies were already reading in the “classroom”.
Although the day after tomorrow was the day they would officially start school, and they still didn’t know what content the teacher would teach in which book, Du Zhongheng had already given them a prediction and drawn a rough range, so they were now reading according to this range.
“You guys study well, I’m going to the toilet.”
Da Bao stood up and said something to his younger brothers and sisters before walking out the door.
Mo Ruyue was standing at the door of her room, as if waiting for Da Bao to appear. When she saw him coming out of the “classroom”, she waved at him.
“Mother.”
Da Bao walked over. He had only said one sentence when he subconsciously turned back to look and then lowered his voice.
“Let’s go inside and talk.”
Mo Ruyue turned around and entered the house. Using her body as a cover, she took out the money bag from her space.
“Someone entered my room. This is what he left behind.”
She said concisely and put the money bag in front of Da Bao.
“This is a money bag?”
Da Bao’s voice was raised at the end of his sentence. He did not expect that the ‘thief’ who barged in would not steal something, but leave something behind, and it was a money bag.
“Take a look inside.”
Mo Ruyue pouted, indicating that he should continue to look inside.
She had already thoroughly sanitized the money bag, so she could show it to Da Bao without worry.
Da Bao opened the money bag and could not help but widen his eyes.
“This… These… They’re all…?”
Because he was too surprised, Da Bao also began to stutter and speak incoherently.
“That’s right. They’re all gold notes. The amount written on them is all gold.”
Mo Ruyue nodded and gave him a definite answer.
“????”
Da Bao was completely speechless. He flipped through the gold notes one by one. The numbers on them made his heart jump and he could no longer maintain his calm appearance.
Even if it was silver, the sum of these numbers was definitely beyond his imagination, not to mention that these were gold.
What kind of person would break into a house and leave behind a fortune that one could not spend in ten lifetimes? No matter how one thought about it, there was no reasonable answer.
“This fortune is a disaster, not a blessing, so we can’t use it. The money Mother has earned now is enough to send the five of you to the best academy and then live a comfortable life. I don’t need to add flowers to a brocade.”
“But the money is a hidden danger in our family. No one knows if the person who left the money bag will suddenly come back one day. When I found it, it was wrapped in a large amount of medicine to repel snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It was obviously a protective layer for long-term storage.”
Mo Ruyue said as she pointed at the beam. “Just put it on there.”
Da Bao also looked up, then lowered his head to look at the stack of gold notes in his hand, deep in thought.
“There’s one thing I’m sure of. That person was able to escape the layers of traps inside and outside the house. He must be an expert. I’m not afraid, but with you guys around, I have to be on guard. ”
“In the future, you will spend the day in a private school, and after that, you will enter the city to study in a proper academy. As long as you are not at home, you don’t have to worry about running into him. However, if I’m not at home like this one day, all of you will stay at Grandma Liu’s house. Don’t stay at home.”
Mo Ruyue thought about it a lot. Although she had thought about putting the money bag back where it was so that if that person wanted to take it, he could just take it away, but what if that person wanted to get rid of the root after getting the money?
It was not impossible. Even if the person in the room did not realize that such a huge amount of money had been around, it was hard to guarantee that the person who hid the money would not have the intention to kill.
It was also because of this consideration that she finally decided to take the money bag with her. This way, if the person found out that the money bag was missing, even if he caught the babies and wanted to blackmail her, at least he wouldn’t do it on the spot. This also gave her the opportunity to act according to the situation.
When Da Bao heard this, he nodded silently. It seemed like the feeling of getting rich overnight was not that ecstatic.
The next morning, San Bao rolled over and stood up. He shook Er Bao’s arm hard and called out anxiously, “Second Brother, Second Brother, wake up quickly. We’re all going to the private school today!”
“I’m up, I’m up!”
Er Bao was still a little drowsy. When he heard the words ‘private school’, he immediately turned over and got up. Although his eyes were still closed, his mouth was already awake.
...
A series of footsteps came from the courtyard, and they knocked on the door a few times. “Quickly get up.”
It was Da Bao.
