After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 88

Chapter 88 If he doesn't eat it, I will.

Qin Yao cleared everything on the table aside, pushed the heavy cloth bag to the middle, looked at the five father and son in front of her, and said seriously: "Copy the book!"

The faces of the five father and son were carved out of the same mold. They all looked at Qin Yao in confusion. What book were they copying?

Qin Yao opened the cloth bag and the oil paper inside, and nine books were revealed in front of the father and son.

Liu Ji took a breath of cold air and hurriedly closed the door of the main room. He turned back and looked at Qin Yao in shock, "You stole so many books from others, do you want to die?"

That is member Ding. When the county magistrate sees him, he should politely call him Ding Juren. If this is discovered, can their family's heads be saved?

Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji coldly, "Who do you think stole it? I borrowed it, and I have to return it after copying it."

Hearing this, Liu Ji's pounding heart suddenly fell to the ground. Knowing that he had misunderstood, he smiled awkwardly, "It's okay if it's not, it's okay if it's not, but it scared me to death."

 Old man Liu looked towards the courtyard in surprise, "Why are you still here?"

As for the two daughters-in-law, the children were thinking about their mother and had separated them early.

Yao Niang just came home and didn't know how to go back to wait on her. She is still standing here and is an eyesore!

There were only four pieces of dim sum. Jinbao and Jinhua each took one piece, leaving two pieces. The two elders kept one piece and gave the other piece to Liu Fei.

 Sure enough, the third brother and sister never let them down.

With that said, he waved his hands and asked the four brothers and sisters in the courtyard to set up the bowls and chopsticks and bring over the cooked rice. It filled a pottery basin, which was three times the usual amount for the five of them, father and son.

Liu Ji immediately reached for it, "Dad, I love to eat. If he won't eat it, I will eat it. This mung bean snack is refreshing and soft. It is made by Mr. Ding's cook. You can't even buy it outside!"

While eating, Liu Ji glanced at Qin Yao from time to time and mentally calculated what Qin Yao had brought back this time.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters nodded. They had a hunch that what the stepmother was going to say must be something big!

Liu Ji glanced at the nine re-wrapped books. If he had read correctly, they were the Four Books and Five Classics that were necessary for scientific examinations.

 It is a pity that Old Man Liu did not give him any pastry and asked Liu Bai to take it. The three brothers shared the sweets themselves and tasted the good things from this noble man's house.

Just now she heard Lao San mention that Yao Niang especially liked to drink.

 It's better to be comfortable in your own home.

Qin Yao looked at Liu Ji coming back with his hands full, and asked curiously: "I asked you to give me something, why did you come back with so many hugs?"

Liu Ji suddenly had a heart attack and spent all the money she earned from logging last time. Why didn't she know how to save money?

Mr. Zhang asked Liu Ji to wait a moment, got up and went to the house to fill up half a jar of wine and asked Liu Ji to take it back for Qin Yao to eat.

Liu Ji thought of Qin Yao's appetite and was glad that this woman could make money by herself, otherwise he would not be able to feed her mouth.

He and Qiu took the cloth and asked the sizes of several children in Liu Ji's family. After all, children's sizes vary every year, and the size of last year's winter coat may not be suitable.

 Not only did you spend all your money, you also overspent!

"I'm old now, so I'd better leave the snacks that these children only eat to Jinhua Jinbao." Liu Fei said sheepishly.

Qin Yao looked at his resentful little eyes and shouted coldly: "When will dinner be served!"

Qin Yao didn't even raise an eyelid, "All the settlement wages were spent."

Is it possible that this evil woman wants them to study and take the imperial examination?

However, as soon as this idea came up, Liu Ji denied it in his heart. Are you kidding? People like them are worthy of the imperial examination? !

Qin Yao doesn't care whether he eats well or not, but she is full anyway. Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Dalang and Erlang consciously packed up the bowls and chopsticks and took them to the kitchen door to wash.

 The pound of meat that Liu Ji brought made the whole family smile happily. They asked about Qin Yao's situation with concern. They knew that she had just returned home and needed a good rest, so they all said they would not disturb her for a few days.

In this hot day, a bowl of cold rice wine and sugar water will not only relieve the heat.

 In this case, she simply used it as snacks for everyone.

　　"Yao Niang must be promising, otherwise we wouldn't be able to taste such a good thing." Ms. Zhang praised with a smile.

Liu Ji happily said to him: "In front of parents, no one is still a child."

As soon as she came back, the rice jar bottomed out.

The third brother and sister are the most generous. This time they brought so many things back from the town, maybe they were among them.

Mr. He and Mrs. Qiu glanced towards the gate from time to time, and the two sisters looked forward to it tacitly.

Three hundred kilograms of rice, mixed with fine rice and other grains, cost her one, two or five cents.

Thinking of Qin Yao's wages, Liu Ji sent the children out and asked Erlang to take a bowl to the old house to ask for a bowl of wine and fermented rice. He also asked Da Lang to pick up a bucket of cold well water.

 Liu Ji took cloth, meat, and four snacks and went to the Liu family's old house.

 Sanlang and Siniang clung to her. Siniang opened her small mouth and told her the interesting things that happened during this period. She was very talkative.

This thing is easy to make and only requires some glutinous rice. Drinking it is the best way to relieve the heat in summer. She originally brewed some extra wine for roasting, but before she had time to make the wine, the adults and children in the family were almost finished.

This adds up to twenty taels and five taels. The wages given by the Ding family were twenty taels, and it was indeed all spent.

Just when Erlang came over to ask for wine, the family knew that Qin Yao was back, and thought that he might come over soon.

Liu Ji put the fried eggplant, fried meat, egg and vegetable soup on the table. When passing by the door, he asked tentatively:

“Madam, how much wages did Master Ding settle for you?”

Not to mention pen, ink and paper, I can't get even five cents of silver.

 When she was not at home, he felt that he could not finish the rice in the rice vat.

Qin Yao took a chair and sat under the eaves, drinking fermented rice and sugar water by the spoonful. Facing the door, facing the wind, she felt that the heat had completely disappeared.

Linecloth isn't cheap either, and it's only five yuan.

  She simply bought another three hundred kilograms of rice and made do, just enough to eat the rice.

After that, he went to the vegetable garden to pick a basket full of vegetables and asked Liu Ji to take them back.

Liu Jixiao's heart suddenly tightened. He quickly stopped his resentment and said with a smile: "I'll go and serve the rice right away."

“Look at your potential.” Qin Yao snorted and rewrapped the book, “Let's have lunch first. After that, we will have a family meeting in the afternoon. Everyone must be there and no leave is allowed.”

　　Liu Ji immediately put money on his face, "That's right, and we don't even look at who takes him home."

Seeing him reaching out to ask for it, Liu Fei suddenly felt angry and said, "You are so shameless, and you are still trying to grab a snack from a child!"

 Liu Ji felt depressed because this woman spent money more lavishly than he did, and the rice in her bowl was not even tasty.

　　Liu Ji put down the heavy vegetable basket and clay pot. He didn't like to hear this, "What do you mean, it's the kindness of the two elders."

He said, and added: "Look at me getting them all back, how happy I am!"
