After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 765

Chapter 765 Candidate Ma Yang

Bamboo tube rice is delicious, but it's too expensive.

This resulted in the table full of sumptuous meals that Awang had prepared so hard for dinner, but few chopsticks were used at all.

A Wang: “I'm the only one who blames you for co-authoring it.”

Yin Le didn't eat bamboo rice except being busy at the shampoo shop.

The rest of the people lowered their heads in shame.

Awang glared in a circle, not sparing anyone.

He scolded with his eyes: Shame on wasting food!

Fortunately it is winter now and the weather is cold, so the leftovers will still be fresh if left overnight and reheated to eat tomorrow morning.

“Do you still want to eat?” Awang stood up and asked.

If you don't eat it, he will take it away.

Everyone shook their heads and consciously started to help clean up.

Suddenly, a muffled sound of "dong" came from outside the door.

It felt like something hit the door.

“Whose child is causing trouble?” Liu Ji wondered.

Qin Yao shook her head, "It doesn't look like that. Ah Le, go and open the door and have a look."

Yin Le stood up, opened the door curtain, and rolled up his sleeves.

Everyone in the house also stopped cleaning up, came to the door, and looked at the door curiously.

Yin Le opened the door a crack first, then heard a "dong" sound and something slipped from the door.

When she opened the door completely, she saw a thin man in thin clothes passed out at the door.

There is also a magical book box standing next to the door - it is a scholar.

The book box is wrapped with cloth strips and the shoulder straps are patched.

It can be seen that the owner's family is not wealthy.

At the end of November in Beijing, it was bitingly cold and humid.

It is night again, and the temperature is a little lower.

If he was not discovered and lay at the door overnight, he would definitely be frozen to death the next day.

Yin Le hurriedly stepped forward to check the scholar's breathing.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the man's closed eyes suddenly opened.

“Good, smells good.”

After murmuring this sentence with empty eyes, his head tilted and he fainted completely.

Yin Le reported to the courtyard: "Master, this scholar came here following the smell of rice. He seems to have fainted from hunger!"

Awang's eyes lit up immediately after he worked hard to make dinner but was not appreciated by his family.

This scholar must be a knowledgeable person!

"Madam?" Awang looked at Qin Yao, his eyes filled with excitement.

Qin Yao nodded, "Don't let him freeze to death at the door. Bring him in to warm him up first."

The words just fell.

A Wang beside him had already ducked out of the gate.

Chin Yao: “.”

Awang carried the scholar in and placed him on the soft wool carpet in the hall, and moved a charcoal stove next to him to keep him warm.

Yin Le came in next carrying the bookcase with a patched shoulder strap.

The four brothers, Qi Xianguan and Dalang, immediately walked around in front of the book box.

Qi Xianguan speculated: "They must be candidates who went to Beijing to take the exam. I don't know where they came from. They didn't know that the capital has entered the cold winter and their clothes are so thin."

Awang ran to get his thick cotton-padded jacket and put it on the scholar.

Liu Ji curiously brought warm water, and the two of them supported each other and fed the other. After a while, the scholar slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

His eyes rolled around, looking a little dazed.

Liu Ji called out "Hello" twice, and then the scholar's dull eyes fell on him.

Liu Ji asked: "What's your name? Why did you faint at the door of my house?"

It was warm in the room. He was wrapped in a soft and thick cotton robe and drank another glass of water. The scholar gradually recovered and realized that he had been rescued by a kind person. He said in a low voice: "Mayang, a young man, named Qianzhi, is from Da'ao Village, Xiali County, Hainan Province."

Ma Yang is twenty-two years old this year and is the only scholar in his village.

His family was poor since he was a child, and he was well-known locally for his hard work.

In order to participate in the Spring Festival, in early September, with the travel expenses collected by the whole village, old and young, we took a merchant ship to the sea and headed north to Beijing.

Hainan Dao does not have four seasons, it is midsummer all year round.

And because the last time he went to Yingtianfu for the exam was in the summer and autumn, Ma Yang didn't realize how cold the winter in Kyoto was.

It wasn't until he got off the boat and the biting cold wind blew that he realized the severity of winter.

Of course, his thin clothing was not because he misjudged the severity of the winter.

I was really short of money and was reluctant to spend the money collected by the whole village, old and young, to buy an expensive cotton coat.

After all, I have just entered Beijing, and there are still several months to live and deal with people.

With this little money in hand, it is not enough to break one penny into two pence.

He had to find a place to stay quickly and find a way to make some money.

When a person is unlucky, even a mouthful of cold water will make his teeth clenched.

Not long after entering the city, Ma Yang lost his money bag.

At that moment, Ma Yang felt that the world was spinning and he almost couldn't stand still.

I feel extremely regretful. If I had known this, I would not have saved the money. I would have just bought a thick cotton coat to keep out the cold!

He immediately went to report to the official, but the female soldiers patrolling the street only asked him to go to the Yamen to register first. The Yamen will notify him when there is news.

Ma Yang, who was hungry and cold, had no relatives in the capital. In despair, he unknowingly walked into Kuanzhengfang.

He smelled the aroma of rice and searched for it all the way. Under the double blow of his mind and body, he fainted at the gate of Qin Yao's house.

“You're lucky.”

Liu Ji joked: "I just happened to faint in front of the house of Mr. Liu, a kind-hearted man like me."

“You should get up and have something to eat first. We are also candidates in the same examination. Since we are destined to meet, it must be God's arrangement.”

Liu Ji asked Ma Yang to sit down and eat the leftovers and said:

“You and I are destined to be together. Now that Brother Ma is in trouble, I am willing to donate generously and lend you some money to help you tide over the difficulties.”

Qin Yao and everyone raised their eyebrows when they heard this. Is he so kind?

Sure enough, Liu Ji never disappoints his family, so he immediately continued with the next sentence:

“When Brother Ma gets rich, you only need to pay me 30% of the interest, plus a favor.”

The dish that Ma Yang just ate fell into his mouth.

He was startled, but after several changes in his eyes, he quickly became firm.

Shaked and pushed himself up, he gave Liu Ji a heavy fist and said, "Master Liu, I will thank you for your kindness!"

“If we develop in the future, we will fulfill this promise.”

Before leaving, his parents gave him instructions.

When you travel far and go to a place you are not familiar with, you must be extremely cautious.

You are not born to lose the pie, so be sure to stay away from people who are nice to you for no reason.

So after hearing that Liu Ji was willing to lend him money to tide over the difficulties, he would charge high interest rates.

In addition to being shocked for a moment, Ma Yang immediately realized that this is true human nature.

Master Liu is like this, which makes him feel relieved.

And in his current situation, it is a blessing from God that there are still people willing to lend him money.

Don't dare to ask for more.

However, Ma Yang agreed so readily that Liu Ji, who was already ready to bargain, was a little confused.

Qin Yao's mouth twitched slightly, and she stepped forward and said:

“Mr. Ma, my husband-in-law is joking with you.”

She smiled and slapped Liu Ji on the shoulder, almost knocking him off the table.

The warning is full of meaning

Liu Ji, who had just stopped doing business, covered his shoulders and gasped secretly.

He immediately changed his tune and smiled bitterly at Ma Yang, "I just tested it out, and I know that Brother Ma is also a temperamental person, so I can rest assured!"

Ma Yang, who was ready to repay this high-interest debt, was stunned, huh?
