After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 43

Chapter 43 The firewood collapsed on its own

Yang Da also made twenty arrows for Qin Yao, put them in a quiver and handed them to her together.

 A useful arrow costs a lot of money to make. The materials used for the arrowhead and the tail feathers on the arrow tail cost a lot of money. These two important components cost a lot of money, not to mention the technology of making arrows. These are not spread to outsiders.

Qin Yao was mentally prepared to pay a high price, but Yang Da said, "Just give me another five taels of silver."

Qin Yao knew that there were more than that, "Isn't this enough?"

Yang Da waved his hand, "The materials used are not the best, but the arrow feathers are a bit cumbersome, but I use bird feathers that I made myself. It doesn't cost much. Five taels is enough."

Qin Yao was not being hypocritical. Since the other party wanted to sell her this good thing, he said thank you generously, gave her five taels of silver, and took away the bow and arrow.

On the way back, she would glance at it from time to time, as if she had found some treasure. She pulled and let go of the bow string. Not willing to shoot arrows, she pulled the empty string several times, making a "buzzing" sound.

As for the five fathers and sons in the family, the four children are well-behaved and obedient. Liu Ji will definitely have to leave the house to make money to pay off the debt after the new year!

At this time, Liu Ji was lying in his room, imagining that one day he would tame the evil woman in the family with his beauty, let her be a cow or a horse for him, and earn money for him to spend.

 A "whoosh" sound broke through the air in the courtyard, and an arrow flew out quickly like lightning.

But after the excitement wore off, Erlang was obviously more interested in the fried sparrows coming from the kitchen and slipped into the kitchen.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao's heart moved and she counted the days, it would be five days later.

Qin Yao dare not say that one arrow can pierce a human body, but it is still very easy for one arrow to pierce a roe deer.

The young boy was extremely surprised, but soon his face wrinkled up. The bow was so heavy and hard that he couldn't pull it open at all.

“Wow!” Si Niang opened her mouth wide and looked back at the stepmother and eldest brother. The little stars of admiration were about to fly out.

With only ten taels of silver left in her hand, Qin Yao was not in a hurry.

You can imagine how powerful it would be if the arrow were released.

Until the little boy was about to become angry, he waved him to come to him, squatted down, held his hand, pulled the bow, nocked the arrow, and let go.

There was a villager in the car who was a little interested. He thought of going to the city to have a look. If the price is right, he would buy one and take it home, so that it would be easier to cultivate the land next year.

Saburo didn't seem to be too excited. He sat obediently on the small wooden pillar in the corridor, looking at Qin Yao, Dalang, and Si Niang who were still in the courtyard with bright eyes. From time to time, he clapped his little hands and acted as an atmosphere set for them.

The road was not wide and could only accommodate an ox cart. Qin Yao stepped to the side of the road and heard the people in the car talking about something, as if they were coming from the county town. She vaguely heard some words such as "ox, government, and the end of the year."

Qin Yao walked alone, and no one greeted her.

Liu Ji held up the spatula and dragged Erlang with the sparrow meat in his hand. He ran out in a panic, thinking that the newly built house was going to collapse.

Qin Yao took the initiative to hand the bow and arrow to Dalang and let him try it.

"What happened!"

Liu Ji looked at the ground, Siniang, are you sure the firewood collapsed on its own?

Si Niang used her whole body to support the bow, which was taller than herself. She looked at the firewood scattered on the ground behind her and her brother, and said innocently: "Dad, the firewood collapsed on its own!"

However, the first time I used marbles with my bare hands, I used too much force and the six sparrows were slightly broken.

Perhaps she can buy a piece of beef tendon to use in the slingshot instead of a rubber band.

Now the government can no longer afford it and plans to sell all the other cows except one.

"Five taels?!" Liu Ji couldn't control his shocked voice.

 Qin Yao nodded, "What, do you have any objections?"

Qin Yao listened carefully and found out that what was said was that the Kaiyang County government raised eight cows, and each cow had to eat a certain amount of fodder money every month.

The ox cart gradually drove away, and Qin Yao was left behind.

With a good bow in hand, she will not starve to death even if she hunts.

He turned around several times in the kitchen and saw Qin Yao gesticulating triumphantly in the yard with her bow, and couldn't help but asked angrily:

"Where did you get the bow and arrow? It cost a lot of money, right?" Qin Yao was in a good mood, turned around and pointed the bow and arrow at him, and said with a smile: "I didn't buy much, only five taels."

But sparrows are still meat no matter how chopped they are. On his face, Liu Ji happily took these disgusting sparrows into the kitchen to clean them up, while secretly cursing Qin Yao for being cruel and ruthless.

Only then did I realize that I couldn't pull it off at all.

"Okay, come one by one." Qin Yao agreed readily, not favoring one over the other. The four brothers and sisters came one at a time.

But then there was a loud "crash" sound, and the pile of wood that had been neatly stacked was pulled by her remaining strength to pull out the arrow, and collapsed.

Every time an arrow is shot, exclamations such as "Wow" and "Aniang is great" will be heard in the yard.

At a place two miles away from Liujiacun, Qin Yao saw a group of sparrows looking for food in the fields. She hunted six of them with marbles and took them home for extra meals.

Erlang immediately shouted that he was coming too.

 In fact, considering her arm strength, this bow is quite light. If she replaces it with a divine arm bow and a special long arrow, a war horse can shoot through it!

We walked to the valley where we met the robbers last time. This time we didn't meet the robbers. There were a few people walking on the road, they were villagers from nearby villages.

But on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the government only sells live cattle? Will they kill old cows and sell their meat?

 Liu Ji thinks she is unreasonable!

 Can a broken bow be eaten or worn? Actually asking for five taels of silver?

“Auntie?” The little boy looked at her pitifully and angrily. Qin Yao stepped forward and easily pulled out the arrow.

She was a little surprised. It cost so much to raise a cow. It cost one tael of fodder a month. No wonder there was a saying, "The cost of one cow and horse is enough to feed five people."

Seeing that the bow pointed at him in Qin Yao's hand was getting more and more bent, Liu Ji swallowed hard and showed a smile that he thought was gentle and doting, "No objection, madam, as long as you like it."

Oh no, it can shoot him right through, too!

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the government planned to take the cattle to the cattle and horse market for disposal.

　　When the remaining people heard this, they all made envious sounds.

When the elders and others learned that Qin Yao had got a new baby, they gathered around it curiously and wanted to touch it, but they didn't dare.

"Hahaha..." Qin Yao laughed unceremoniously.

 An ox cart drove up behind him. It was loaded with goods and several people were sitting on it.

Dalang became serious. He couldn't draw the bow, so he thought about running over and picking up the arrows on the pile of firewood.

 Unknown to him, his probation only had one month left.

The cattle raised by the government are willing to feed them and rarely do much work, so they must be good.

With a "Tuk!" sound, he was firmly nailed to the pile of firewood. He trembled for a long time before returning to stillness.

I haven't bought any charcoal for the winter yet, and I think I need to prepare some New Year's goods. I just happened to go to the county town to buy some.

He worked hard to build the "Yuanbao Tower" built by many talented people, but now it has lost its original appearance, and dry wood is falling everywhere.

Thinking that he had to code it all over again, Liu Ji couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and pinched himself fiercely to prevent himself from being angry to death by his mother-in-law!

Siniang is looking forward to cheering: Do you have any tickets? Can you vote for my grandmother, the author~
