After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 40

Chapter 40 It's easy for you to think of me

 Old man Liu, the village chief and the clan chief were sitting in the main room, surrounded by the famous elders of the clan.

After listening to their compliments, he looked up at Liu Ji who was serving guests to eat with Qin Yao in the courtyard. The heart that had been for him for twenty-three years finally fell away this time.

 “Lao San.” Old man Liu shouted into the courtyard.

Liu Ji squeezed through the tables and chairs in the courtyard. He first called the village chief and clan chief, then smiled and nodded to the clan elders, and then came to his father. "Dad, what can I do for you?"

 Old man Liu drank two glasses of wine and was slightly tipsy. He held his son's hand in a rare and kind manner, pointed to the brand new house and said:

"Look, this bright house with solid blue tiles is all the work of Yao Niang. San'er, dad, tell the truth, don't be angry. If it weren't for Yao Niang, you would never be fine now. Stand here."

The clan elders all nodded in agreement at this. Originally they didn't like Liu Ji, but now Qin Yao, who is hard-working and willing to work, even like Liu Ji's generosity.

There were a lot of dishes to wash, and everyone used Qin Yao's big sink. They didn't know it was necessary, and they planted grass after using it.

 “Dad, you don't know your son's suffering.”

By the way, Dalang's four beds have been increased, and she has prepared another set of winter beddings.

 In the end, she got one for each person, which was so extravagant!

 The family didn't stock up on vegetables for the winter, so they had to spend money to buy them.

Although it was leftovers, Qin Yao was generous and bought 20 kilograms of meat for cooking. There was still a lot of meat in the remaining dishes. No one would dislike it. I just thought Qin Yao was a generous person and did not dig things. .

 You have to think of a way to make money in the long run.

 Liu Ji came to Qin Yao with a sneer on his face and said sheepishly:

“Well, the money you gave me to buy food last time has been used up.”

 The smile on Liu Ji's face disappeared instantly, and he said angrily: "Madam, what you gave me was three hundred wen, not three taels!"

Qin Yao was surprised: "It's all used up so quickly?"

For example, if you don't build tiles, you will have a lot of money left over to buy two acres of medium-sized paddy fields.

 Money, money, money, everything is money!

There is no way to put winter quilts on all four beds, and there is no need, because when it is very cold, it is warmer to sleep two by two on the same bed. This set of winter quilts only cost five yuan.

Qin Yao stretched, sat up from the bed and went to the table, "The door is unlocked, come in."

The door creaked and someone pushed it open.

The family only has two acres of wasteland, which means they have no land. They have to rely on money to buy food and clothing. What is left in their hands will not last long at all.

Feeling everyone's enthusiasm and sincerity, Qin Yao smiled and responded, "Okay, come when you have time. Don't dislike me."

After the meal, the women stayed to help clean up the dishes. Taking this opportunity, Qin Yao, reminded by He and Qiu, recognized everyone in the village.

How can people dislike it if they are so busy? They welcome her very much.

The yard was tidied up and it was already getting late. Each family took back the pots, bowls, tables, chairs and benches they had brought and went home.

There are many, many more. There is no need for bunk beds for four children. They can sleep on wooden boards on benches.

Another example is not building that shower room, and you can save half an acre of low-grade land.

And when pouring water, you only need to pull out the cork and it will drain by itself. There is no need for two people to carry a large basin of water to the door and pour it out.

A few people knew that Qin Yao didn't know how to work as a female worker, so they joked: "Even if you don't know how to hold a needle and thread, you can just sit there and chat. The third sister-in-law seems to be well-informed. We just like to hear what's going on outside." Tell us more."

 Home is a harbor. Qin Yao feels that a good living environment is conducive to releasing mental stress. She is not willing to save this money.

Qin Yao divided the remaining dishes into several portions and asked several people who came to help to take them away to express her gratitude.

 “Dong dong dong!”

 Old man Liu only regarded his son as his acquiescence. He was quite satisfied with his performance and explained some words before letting him go.

During this period, because the weather was getting colder and colder, Liu Ji pitifully applied for a set of cotton-padded clothes, which cost another three coins.

Qin Yao sent all the guests away, closed the door, checked all the houses, and returned to her room.

Now that I have calculated it, I only have thirteen taels of silver in my hand.

In addition, his cooking skills have improved a lot recently and he has kept his house in order. Qin Yao is surprised to like him. Indeed, there are no ugly men in this world, only lazy men.

Qin Yao threw away the charcoal, lay down on the bed, and scratched her hair irritably.

The sink is also large, and the washing space is sufficient. Several people can gather around it without crowding. A large bowl can be washed in ten minutes.

Wash dishes while standing, you don't have to squat, and your waist is not tired.

Liu Ji's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt aggrieved. He grabbed Old Liu's hand with his backhand and said,

 To burn charcoal, you need to buy a charcoal stove, which is money.

Everyone in the Liu family's old house also dispersed. When the farmers had no free time, they had to weave cloth and shoes even if they didn't go to the fields. They had a lot of work.

 But in the end these were retained at Qin Yao's insistence.

Several young women of the same age invited Qin Yao to come to their homes to work together when she had free time.

The old man raised his hand, as if he was about to hit someone, "You should be nice to Yao Niang from now on. Living a good life as a husband and wife is better than anything else. Don't be stupid again, do you hear me?"

 It's no wonder that Mrs. Zhang and her two sisters-in-law tried to dissuade her from making do with it several times when they saw that she was spending all their money on the house.

 Have to buy more charcoal.

 She scratched a piece of wood with a charcoal strip for a while, calculating the expenses during this period.

But don't tell me, people look like dogs based on their clothes.

Old man Liu glanced at him: "What's wrong with you? You have such a big house to live in and such a good woman to take care of your house. Don't be dissatisfied!"

 It cost ten taels of silver to repair the house, including wages and furniture.

Especially now that I can live in a clean and warm house, and when I lie on a soft bed and relax, all the fatigue I have experienced for many days has dissipated, and I am so comfortable that I don't even want to get up.

Today she spent another five coins to buy rice, meat and vegetables. Part of the food was used to cover the lunch consumption of the helpers before, and part of it was used to make a banquet for the villagers to warm the house.

The other women agreed: "Yes, yes, we love hearing new things most."

 Forget it, he thought desperately, one day he was killed by Qin Yao, even if the body was rotten and smelly, no one would find it.

 “Hey, then I'm in.”

 Liu Ji has finally discovered it. Even if he says that Qin Yao kills people without blinking an eye, no one will believe him.

The weather was getting colder day by day. When she had time, she took Liu Ji to chop a lot of firewood and piled it in the firewood shed on the left side of the entrance. It would be no problem to burn it for two months.

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Ji's flattering inquiry came from outside: "Madam, are you free? I have something to discuss with you."

"We ate three meals a day for a month and eight days, which worked out to less than ten cents a day. According to your request, we had to eat one meal of meat every five days. I spent the three hundred cents on it. Yes, you even sacrificed your face to ask for food from various sisters-in-law, you think it's easy for me!”

Qin Yao hissed, thinking about whether her rhetorical question just now was too much, as it might make people angry.
