After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Failure to buy land

Qin Yao winked at Dalang Erlang, and the two of them understood each other. One of them went to fetch water from a basin and brought it in. A pot of water was being heated on the charcoal stove. He took it out and poured it into the basin. The water was just lukewarm.

Erlang pinched his nose, brought in two pairs of unwashed socks, and threw them into the basin.

Qin Yao handed him a piece of soap and reminded him, "Dip water on your socks and rub them in."

Erlang did as he was told, and soon bubbles came out. Sanlang said "Huh?" in surprise.

What's even more amazing is that the dirty areas become clean after being rinsed with water. All kinds of stains seem to blend into the water easily and are taken away by the bubbles.

“Successful.” Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, took out the remaining eleven pieces of soap that were not used, and put them in the cupboard.

When you pick the flowers in spring, you might be able to make scented soap and take a fragrant bath.

If she is not familiar with Liu Dafu, or if Liu Dafu is a villain who only knows how to exploit tenants, she has many ways to get him to agree.

At first, Qin Yao also thought about getting some soap to sell, but she was only excited for two days before being crushed by reality.

Unfortunately, as soon as the day breaks, we return to reality instantly.

Qin Yao didn't care how excited Liu Carpenter was. She calmly collected her share and went to the clan leader's house with the one tael of silver and stone money that should be handed over to the clan.

Qin Yao also knew that it would be difficult to handle, so he added: "If he is willing, I can pay a high price. Please ask the clan leader for help. It is also inconvenient for me, so I came to you as a middleman in case anything happens." , the two families will not be unhappy."

Knowing that her farming skills were poor, Old Man Liu only informed her after he finished planting. With their help, he could finish the planting in two days.

Today there were delicious dishes brought by the restaurant, so Qin Yao cooked a pot of rice and stewed a pot of pumpkin soup.

Normally she doesn't have many opportunities to cook, but if she has time, she will still cook.

It's a pity that people are really kind to her and often give favors to the tenants.

The patriarch pondered for a moment and reluctantly nodded. Qin Yao was about to leave, muttering, "You girl really knows how to embarrass me."

The patriarch's brows, which had just been raised because of the stone money, now furrowed deeply again, "This is not easy to handle."

Even though the money was not for him, the clan elders were still smiling. Looking back, they thought that maybe they could repair the road out of the village.

Qin Yao accepted the old man's kindness.

In fact, she also understands that she would not be happy if it were her. The family is healthy and has no shortage of money. These ten acres can connect the fertile fields scattered around his family into one large area. In order to facilitate irrigation, he dug ditches. The cost of collecting water is skyrocketing.

After dinner, Old Man Liu sent Liu Fei over to urge Qin Yao not to delay as it was time to plant wheat.

Because I can wash out bubbles, I am very happy when I wash it.

He has never received so much silver at once in most of his life. It is more than twenty taels. The house at home can be renovated, and there is no need to worry about the corvee in the coming year.

But other Qin Yao really looked down on these places in the village.

Bai Shan took away the last batch of ultrsmall water mills and settled the balance.

　　Although he had expected it, when he actually got more than twenty taels of silver in his hand, Liu Carpenter was so excited that he almost cried.

Qin Yao shook her head helplessly, left the main room, went to the kitchen, and lit a fire to cook.

Liu Dafu thought about it again and again, but did not let go.

“Liu Erlang, study hard and gain fame. It's up to you whether my mother can be a housewife in the future.”

She neither wanted to give up this land nor offend anyone by any means, so she had no choice but to come to the clan leader.

I heard someone said that Mr. Ding has not returned from Beijing, but he has not passed the exam.

Erlang was so frightened that he almost burst into tears. Aniang was like a ghost, and there was no sound of footsteps when she walked in. He was reading carefully when a cold hand fell on his shoulder. It was good that he didn't cry out!

In the midst of busy work, November has arrived.

After tying up two bags of soap to be given away, Qin Yao turned around and saw that Dalang and his sister didn't even eat the four chestnuts, and took turns squatting by the basin to wash Erlang's smelly socks.

The patriarch knows about her family's situation, and was actually allocated a lot of good land. After all, Liu Ji is a gangster. If you dare to miss out on his benefits, your whole family will be in trouble.

The children at home also give her face, and they never dislike the food she cooks. Every time she cooks, they are eaten up.

If he were a little bolder, his youngest son and grandson could also be sent to school.

Qin Yao took the opportunity to ask about the farmland and asked the clan leader to pay attention to it, expressing his intention to buy fertile land.

But only two years after I got it, it was all sold out.

This time he learned his lesson and bit the chestnuts with his teeth first before putting them in and roasting them so that they would not explode.

Qin Yao sighed at the gloomy sky. Passing by the children's room next door, she saw the lights in the room and the sound of 'Juan Wang' Erlang reading aloud. She walked in and patted him on the shoulder happily, encouraging him. road:

Because he was afraid of paying grain taxes, he simply sold all the land, which made people very angry.

But as soon as Liu Fei left, he thought about having to go to the fields again tomorrow, and his whole condition became bad.

Maybe if the child has that kind of luck, maybe there will be a scholar in their family in the future.

Erlang, a clever guy, put aside his work and sat by the stove to roast chestnuts and eat them.

The waterwheel factory received one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Excluding costs and labor fees, Qin Yao and Liu Carpenter each received twenty-two taels of silver.

After saying that, he picked up the **** and went to the ground reluctantly.

People are also very realistic. If you want something good from me, you have to exchange it for something of equal value, right?

When I fell asleep at night, I had a sweet dream. I dreamed that I had thousands of hectares of fertile land and hundreds of slaves, and they just lay back and enjoyed their happiness.

Qin Yao originally wanted to talk to Mr. Ding about enrolling her children in their Ding clan, but now that he is not coming back, she can only find another way.

This year's harvest was good, and the family's sons were all at the water mill. Only half of the fields at the old house were planted, and the rest were left open for nurturing, so now I had time to help Qin Yao.

　　Sometimes they were sold to pay for labor, and sometimes they were sold for food.

Qin Yao selected six pieces of soap alone, and cut two pieces of oil paper. One package of two pieces was given to Lao Zhai, and the other package of four pieces was given to Lao Zhai. If she had time, she would personally deliver it to Ding Xiang.

Who wouldn't be happy to receive money?

The journey back and forth is long and it delays my studies, so I simply won't go back and plan to stay in the capital to continue taking exams next year.

Ding Xiang is a good candidate. Qin Yao wants to try and ask her for help.

Qin Yao nodded. She really liked the ten acres of fertile land she was renting now. Unfortunately, she tested Liu Dafu's words and he had no intention of selling it.

While he complained like this, he acted very quickly. He called Liu Dafu home for dinner that night to test his tone.

After lamenting the past, the patriarch tentatively asked Qin Yao: "Do you want to buy back the original land?"

The two raw materials, lard and shells, no matter which one they are, cannot be obtained in large quantities. It's okay to make it at home, but if she wants to sell it, she doesn't know where to collect so much lard.

She grew these pumpkins herself. She had harvested seventeen or eight pumpkins and piled them in the corner of the kitchen. They were very durable and there are still three or four left after eating them.

The high price is nothing, not double.

Qin Yao could not afford to pay twice as much, so the deal was not settled.

But the emotion of wanting to cut Liu Ji, the culprit, into pieces reached its peak at this moment!
