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

Who Wouldn’t Eat For Free?

“Are you talking about the price by weight?” Mo Ruyue asked with an expressionless face.

“What do you mean by weight? How much is a kilogram of pork? How many kilograms are your rabbits and pheasants? Paying by weight? It’s already good enough that I am willing to accept yours, and you want to get paid by weight? What a joke!”

The waiter’s eyes immediately widened, and he raised his eyebrows and shouted at Mo Ruyue.

He saw that it was a mother and son pair, dressed in extremely simple clothes, and there was no man following them. Presumably, they were a widow and an orphan with no one to support them, so he ruthlessly lowered the price.

In fact, he had really mentioned the price by the kilogram, but he deliberately changed the price to ‘all the meat’ so that the remaining price difference would fall into his pocket.

Mo Ruyue sneered. According to her temper in the past, if she met someone who dared to bully her, she would beat him up to vent her anger. However, it was broad daylight now, and she had Da Bao with her. It was not good to see blood. He was lucky enough to escape this beating.

“Da Bao, let’s go.”

She was too lazy to talk nonsense, so she directly let Da Bao carry the bamboo basket and turned to leave.

“Hey, why are you leaving? Are you not selling? If you’re not selling, why are you asking about the price!”

The waiter shouted from behind. He didn’t expect that this woman didn’t beg or try to bargain with him. In order to make her willing to sell the things to him and be grateful to him, he was even prepared to raise the price a little and give them some benefits.

Who knew that no matter how well he thought about it, he couldn’t expect the woman’s simple turn, and the cooked duck flew away just like that.

Mo Ruyue stopped and turned to stare at him coldly. “Are you going to let me leave like this or tell everyone the price you just said?”

The threatening effect of this sentence was very good, and the waiter immediately shut his mouth.

If other people knew that he had pushed down the price to bully the mother and son, the reputation of the restaurant would be tarnished. Now that the restaurant opposite was suffering because they could not find any weakness in their restaurant, he could not cause trouble for his own restaurant at this time.

Seeing that the waiter didn’t say anything, Mo Ruyue left with Da Bao and went straight to the restaurant across the road.

“Bah! You filthy beggar, do you think you’ve got some treasure? What a joke!”

The waiter saw the mother and son walk to the opposite side, so he spat and scolded angrily.

He didn’t believe that the restaurant across the street would spend money to buy her game[1]. They would definitely lower the price. It would be better if they didn’t buy it at all.

The restaurant across the street was called “Guang Lai Lou,” which not only meant to make money but also meant to have friends from all over the world.

Mo Ruyue glanced at the signboard of the restaurant and felt that just from the name, Heavenly Fortune Tower was inferior. Then, she heard Da Bao’s soft cry, and he suddenly rushed out from beside her.

She focused her eyes and saw an old man who had fallen on the steps of the restaurant’s entrance for some reason. It seemed that he had knocked his head to the ground, and his face was covered in blood, which was very scary.

Da Bao rushed over and helped the old man up. He seemed to want to tear off a part of his clothes to bandage him, but looking at his dirty clothes, he couldn’t do anything.

Mo Ruyue originally didn’t want to get involved in this mess, but she couldn’t watch Da Bao save the man alone, so she took the old man from his arms and leaned him against the wall next to her.

“Go to the restaurant and call someone to help. I’ll stop the bleeding.”

Because Mo Ruyue often went into the mountains to hunt, she always had medicine and bandages on her. Moreover, her medicine was all self-formulated, and it was made by drawing on the essence of the ancient Chinese medicine formulas in her previous life. It was also blended with the spring water from her dimensional space, and its effect was much stronger than any golden injury medicine to stop bleeding.

She deftly wiped the blood off the old man’s face, applied medicine, and skillfully bandaged the wound on his head. When the people in the restaurant came over after hearing about it, Mo Ruyue had just tied a beautiful knot with a cloth.

“Father!”

The young man who was in front shouted at the unconscious old man.

The shop assistant who followed behind also shouted, “Shopkeeper!”

Oh my!

Mo Ruyue glanced at Da Bao, who had arrived behind them. It was a nice coincidence that they helped him now!

“Hurry up and carry the old master inside. Be careful not to touch his wound, and also call Doctor Du here!”

The young man immediately began to instruct the workers to do their work. He was the young master of this restaurant.

Then, he looked at Mo Ruyue and cupped his hands towards her. “Thank you, sister-in-law, for saving my father. Please come with me into the building and have a seat so that I can properly thank you.”

Mo Ruyue shook her head. “I’m just here to sell some things. I’ll also see if there’s a long-term opportunity for cooperation. I can guarantee the quality of the game I supply.”

Her hand had always been used to kill, and this was the first time she had saved someone. Besides, to her, this was not really saving a person. It was just bandaging a wound.

“Then let’s enter the restaurant and talk. After all, the main entrance is not a place to talk.”

As the young master of a restaurant, the young man was considered a rich and powerful man, but there was no arrogance in his speech and behavior. He was many times better than the snobbish waiter from before.

Mo Ruyue glanced at him and then looked at Da Bao, who had already returned to her side. Then, she said indifferently, “Then let’s go in and have a chat. I’m thankful for the young shopkeeper’s invitation.”

After the three of them entered, the restaurant’s young master directly led Mo Ruyue and her son to a private room on the second floor. He then said apologetically, “Please wait for a moment, Sister-in-law. I need to go and take a look at my father’s injuries. I just saw Doctor Du coming.”

“Young shopkeeper, please help yourself. We mother and son will help ourselves.”

Mo Ruyue responded, and the young man went out. Soon, a waiter brought tea and cakes, and his etiquette was very good.

Da Bao walked to the table and sat down. He poured a cup of tea for himself and also did not forget to pour a cup for Mo Ruyue. He did not say anything and just pushed the cup in her direction and drank by himself.

Mo Ruyue ignored him and continued to drink tea and eat snacks. She had not even eaten anything since she left in the morning. Who wouldn’t eat for free?

Soon, the young master returned. This time, he looked at Mo Ruyue with a trace of surprise, but he quickly covered it up.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,”

He apologized as soon as he entered the room, then sat down at the table and said, “Sister-in-law, you just said that you want to sell the game and also want to establish a long-term supply relationship with our restaurant, right?”

“Yes, young master can take a look at our game before making a decision.”

Mo Ruyue said as she took out a wild rabbit from the bamboo basket on the ground.

The ones she brought today were carefully selected. They were all very fat and were at least five to six pounds.

“Just now, the shop assistant said that sister-in-law went to the Heavenly Fortune Tower across the street first. How could they not have bought such fat rabbits?”

The young master looked at the game that Mo Ruyue brought out and thought of what the waiter had just said, so he casually asked.

“It’s just that we encountered some snobbish thing who thought that we could be easily bullied, so they forced the price down.”

“I see. So that’s what they did,” The young master said in realization. “I wonder how much they offered?”

Notes:

[1]Game: Game or quarry is any wild animal hunted for animal products (primarily meat), for recreation (“sporting”), or for trophies. The species of animals hunted as game varies in different parts of the world and by different local jurisdictions, though most are terrestrial mammals and birds.
