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

Chapter 68 It’s all for your own good

There is no answer to this question yet.

 It is April now, and there are still more than three months before the rice is ready.

 After busy with spring plowing, I finally have some free time.

 Liu Ji took the money box from the water mill home and counted out one hundred and seventy copper coins.

"Including the eggs and the vegetables, we have almost two hundred yuan in income." Liu Ji finished counting and reported to Qin Yao.

Oh, by the way, there are also the four little chickens given by Granny Wang in the chicken coop. There are many more chickens than in March.

Qin Yao put down the small **** in her hand and stood up, threw the hoeed grass aside, went to the sink to scoop out water and washed her hands, lowered her eyes and said slowly:

"With your little strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to register. It's safer for me to go. Anyway, we are all a family. Who can do it? It's the same whether you go or I go."

How did she know that he would get up early to meet Shunzi tomorrow?

Liu Ji asked with a trembling voice: "How do you know?"

Liu Ji thought, "It's the same, so why don't you let me go!"

 He ​​forced himself to calm down, and with a smile on his lips, he reminded her: "They only want men, but there are no women to work as day laborers."

Liu Ji's heart suddenly skipped a beat. What does this mean?

 He asked in surprise: "Do you know why I have to leave home for a few days?"

Most importantly, if he has the support of Ding, why should he be afraid of Qin Yao, a wicked woman?

Thinking of this, Liu Ji felt secretly happy.

 After explaining, he took the cash box and went out.

As he spoke, it seemed as if he could not see his shocked expression, and continued to talk to himself:

 “What’s the good thing?”

 “Have you found the person?” Qin Yao asked.

 How did she know that he was going to Ding's wife's house?

 Liu Ji retorted angrily: "I've never been to Zijin Mansion or the capital, how do I know!"

Qin Yao told him with rare approval, "This time I allow you to act like a fox and a tiger."

Everything will be robbed from him, woo woo woo

Qin Yao's palm fell on his shoulder, and the force was heavy, like a thousand pieces of gold pressing down on his shoulder. Liu Ji only heard his kneecap making a crisp "click" sound, and his expression suddenly changed, "Mother, spare your life!"

The couple were settling their accounts when a faint sound came from outside the courtyard: "Cack--"

"No?" Qin Yao turned around and looked at him with a pair of black eyes, "Not in Liujia Village, not in Jinshi Town, not in Kaiyang County, and not in Zijing Mansion and Beijing?"

At the door, he waved quickly to the grass in the distance. A figure jumped out and followed him. The two of them ran to the river together, sneaking around like thieves.

Qin Yao didn't even look back and responded in a calm tone, "No, you stay at home, look after the fields and weed the vegetable fields, just take care of the house. I've figured it out. You can pay back the debt you owe me slowly. No." Eager for this moment.”

Compared with Liu Ji, Shunzi still knows how to take care of his family. He works at home when farming is busy. Only when he is free will he wander around - looking for opportunities to get ahead!

“Young member Ding is looking for part-time workers, right?” Qin Yao turned around and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, you don’t have to get up early tomorrow, I’ll go for you.”

Liu Ji raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his eyes flashed with joy.

However, it would definitely be better to have the power of a tiger to borrow. There are many brothers in that family, and he really can't stand it alone.

This is not a problem for Liu Ji. Honest people hate people like him, but the boys in the village compliment him the most because he has seen the world outside. It only took him a long time to find out who refused to pay.

Liu Ji became excited when he heard that he was going to work at Yuan's house. "When are you leaving?" Shunzi said, "I'll wait for you at the entrance of our village at the beginning of tomorrow (five o'clock in the morning). Let's go together."

 Back home, Liu Ji went into the kitchen to cook while peeking at Qin Yao who was weeding the vegetable patch in the yard. He thought about many things in his mind, and finally said, half truthfully and half falsely:

 “Madam, I’m afraid I have to be away from home for a few days.”

 In the past, he has taken advantage of others, when will it be his turn to be taken advantage of?

 But Liu Ji knew that if she kept talking, she would take action.

Qin Yao smiled brightly, "Because I am standing behind you."

 She had never spoken to him in such a considerate tone, but at this moment Liu Ji felt like his hair was standing on end.

The other party teased him funny: "Third brother, it's not easy to ask you to come out. You have to give a secret signal. Sister-in-law, you must be too strict with me."

But then I thought about it, if I were to be appreciated by Ding, wouldn't it be possible for me to become a prosperous person in the future and enjoy endless glory and wealth?

Liu Ji felt a little hesitant at the thought of getting up so early and walking at night.

Shunzi is from Xiahe Village and met Liu Ji in the county town. Both of them are famous fools in their respective villages. They go out to camp all day long and never bring any money home.

"I know who it is, but there is no evidence now. I will ask Erlang to go to the mill to keep an eye on him later. If we catch him once, we will settle the old and new accounts together!"

The fastest journey from Liujia Village to Jinshi Town takes one and a half hours, but Xiahe Village is much closer, and you can reach the town in half an hour.

Having said that, he was worried about Liu Ji's speed and repeatedly warned him before leaving: "Third brother, get up earlier. This time there are only ten people besides Ding. If you go late, you won't be able to register."

“Yeah, you don’t know either. If you don’t know, you may have it, or you may not have it.” Qin Yao shrugged and spread her hands, looking tolerant as if you were continuing to quibble.

These two people, both of whom are unpopular at home, had a strong resonance as soon as they met. You call me brother and I call you brother, which is great.

Liu Ji calculated the time and found that he had to set off at least a quarter past three o'clock, so that the two of them could arrive at Ding's wife's house early at the end of Mao hour.

Liu Ji's expression froze, as if he didn't have the ability to deal with others.

Shunzi was surprised and asked: "Third brother, how do you know it's a good thing?"

The two of them came to the grove across the river together. Liu Ji smiled and gave the other party a slap on the chest, "Why did you remember to imitate the chicken code as a code? I almost didn't catch it."

Liu Ji swore in his heart that if he was caught, he would be beaten to death, and he would make up for all the money, plus mental damages!

Liu Ji thought to himself, just guessing. He smiled but said nothing, signaling Shunzi to speak quickly if he had anything to say.

Liu Ji didn’t want to talk about this topic because it would damage his image in front of his younger brother, so he skipped the question directly:

“Qin Yao, how can there be such a strong-minded woman like you in this world?” Liu Ji asked through gritted teeth.

“Madam, I will put the money box back, and then go buy two handfuls of fresh vegetables. You put the clothes to be washed in the basin first, and I will wash them together later.”

But not everyone invests money so consciously. There are also those who are sneaky and sneaky. They use the water mill and leave without paying, not just once or twice.

 Liu Ji was frightened and shouted angrily: "Are you a ghost?"

　　“It’s better for a man with your looks to stay out of the public eye. The world is tough and dangerous, and men must learn to protect themselves.”

No, I just found out that Ding Yuan’s family in the town was looking for part-time workers, so I immediately ran over to Liu Ji, hoping that the two of them could go out together to do something big.

Then he hurriedly warned: "Madam, don't be too late to get up early tomorrow."

Qin Yao took back her hand on his shoulder and smiled coldly, "I'm doing this for your own good."

 Liu Ji: Thank you!
