306 The Function Of The Waist Token
The babies in the courtyard rushed out and surrounded Mo Ruyue, chattering away.
Mo Ruyue didn’t feel that it was noisy at all as she was surrounded by them. This was the atmosphere of a family that she wanted.
“Mother, what’s that Big Black is carrying? Did you buy anything good from the city again?”
San Bao was the first to go and get the horse, and he was also the first to notice the box hanging on the horse’s back.
“Mother, did you buy us new year’s gifts? I saw that Qingfei and the others were all wearing new clothes, silk flowers, and new stationery for the new year.”
Er Bao was pulled back by Da Bao as soon as he said this. He immediately turned to look at him and asked in surprise, “Big Brother, why are you pulling me?”
“Mother has just returned. Let her rest and catch her breath.”
Mo Ruyue could understand Da Bao’s true intentions. He was afraid that Er Bao’s words would bring back bad memories and make her feel guilty.
This child looked boorish on the outside, but he was very meticulous. To some extent, he was even more understanding than Er Bao.
“Lady Qin, as soon as you came back, the babies’ thoughts all flew to you. They threw away the work in their hands.”
Aunt Liu walked out of the courtyard and looked at this scene of “a loving mother and a filial son.” She was very emotional, but she started to tease him.
“Aunt Liu, sorry to trouble you again.” Mo Ruyue also smiled and greeted her.
“Tsk, what kind of trouble is this? I should be thanking you for inviting us to spend the new year together.”
Aunt Liu shook her head. She didn’t feel tired at all. With these babies as company, the old couple’s days were getting more and more exciting.
Mo Ruyue saw Aunt Liu’s heartfelt smile and couldn’t help but think that if she were to leave with the babies, the old couple would probably return to their cold and lonely days. She didn’t know how long it would take for them to adapt.
However, there was no banquet that didn’t come to an end in this world. Meeting and parting continuously, this was life.
“Grandma Liu, Mother came back early today, and there’s one more person working in the afternoon. I’ll definitely be able to finish washing everything today!”
When Tang Tang came out, she was carrying her own clothes. She was so excited that she forgot about it. It was only when she heard Aunt Liu’s voice that she remembered it and quickly showed her the clothes.
“Oh my, my little baby, look at your hands. They’re all red from the cold. Why didn’t you put down your clothes? why are you in such a hurry to act like a spoiled child to your mother?”
Aunt Liu rebuked. She quickly took the clothes from Tang Tang’s hands and covered her hands with her hands, breathing hot air.
“Aunt Liu, let’s go in and talk. Da Bao, you and Er Bao carry the things down. Be careful, there’s something inside that you can’t touch.”
Mo Ruyue walked over and led everyone into the house.
Anyway, the work couldn’t be finished in a short time, so she decided to take a rest and open the ‘blind box’ first. She still didn’t know what gifts the Ouyang and Bai families had sent, so she was also very curious.
“Lady Qin, how about this, I’ll go home to take a look first. The clothes at home haven’t been washed. I’ll come back for work in the afternoon after you’ve eaten and taken a break.”
Aunt Liu also saw the big box and knew what kind of gift Mo Ruyue had brought back. If she was there, it wouldn’t be convenient for her to open it, so she took the initiative to leave to avoid suspicion.
Mo Ruyue didn’t ask her to stay. She had also prepared a generous new year gift for the Liu family. She could use this time to tidy it up and give it out when it was the new year.
After Aunt Liu left, Mo Ruyue gathered all the babies and asked Er Bao to prepare the account books. They were ready to start counting the accounts.
It was no exaggeration to say that the things in the Qin family’s warehouse were much more valuable than the warehouses of many rich families.
“Mother, the new year’s gift that the Bai family sent last time has also been registered. Do you want to take a look first?”
Er Bao held an extra booklet in his hand, which recorded the three carriages of new year’s goods sent by the Bai family.
Because the treatment for the mother and daughter of the Bai family did not mention the consultation fee and medical expenses, in order to avoid confusion, Er Bao made an extra booklet as a note.
“I’m done. This batch isn’t finished yet. Old Master Bai said that there will be more gifts on new year’s eve.” Mo Ruyue shook her head. From the perspective of the consultation fee, it was already too much. But for the Bai family, three lives could not be replaced by mere money. Although they would not give all their wealth to Mo Ruyue, it would be more like an insult to themselves if they gave too little.
The babies were already used to seeing their mother making money so well, but when the box was opened and the things in the layers of horizontal shelves were taken out, their eyes were fixed on it.
The topmost grid was filled with small ornaments that even a child could hold. Each of them was small and exquisite and extremely cute. They looked like a set, and the material was only tourmaline.
On the second grid was a set of hair accessories, made with gold and Jade.
On the third grid was also a set of jewelry. It was Emerald with an excellent water source. Just that pair of earrings alone could buy more than half of the county.
On the fourth grid were three booklets. One was the title deed, one was the title deed, and one was a list. Just by looking at the thickness of the three booklets, it was not difficult to imagine how many title deeds were in there.
The space in the last grid was the largest, but it was a box over another box. When it was removed to the end, a simple waist token was revealed, on which the word “Ouyang” were written.
Mo Ruyue really couldn’t tell what the waist token was made of. It had the texture of Jade and was slightly cold to the touch. After a while, it became slightly warm. It felt like warm Jade, but it wasn’t warm Jade.
She didn’t think too much about it. She would know the material after she tested it in the tool room in her space. There was no need to think about it now.
The most important thing was the use of this waist token.
It should have the same function as the “no-walking” waist buckle that the Bai family had given her m before, which was a token that could be used to seek help.
This was much more practical than giving a mountain of gold and silver. After all, a mountain of gold and silver could be used up eventually. However, this token did not indicate how many times it could be used. It might be a life-saving straw at some critical moment.
Er Bao took down notes while reading. When he finished writing, his hands were shaking.
These were all valuable things. If they were to just leave them at home, were they not afraid of attracting thieves?
Even if his mother’s martial arts were extremely high and no one in the entire Qin Village dared to have any ideas about the family, if the news were to be leaked and even more thieves were attracted, even if his mother had three heads and six arms, it would be like a good tiger couldn’t hold up against a pack of wolves!
Er Bao’s mind immediately filled with scenes, and his palms immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Mo Ruyue looked up inadvertently and saw Er Bao’s appearance. His eyes were straight, his teeth were clenched, and the pen in his hand was almost broken by him. His fingers were clenched so tightly that they turned white, as if he had used up all his strength.
