Chapter 100
It took a full hour for Qin Yao to clean up the four disheveled children.

The haze of the fight had dissipated, and the four children were laughing and joking around the main room. Qin Yao felt her ears hurt from the noise.

In the courtyard, Liu Ji washed up and was about to go back to his room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Qin Yao stopped him.

"Bring it."

"What?" Liu Ji pretended to be bewildered.

Qin Yao: "Money."

Liu Ji's eyes were full of confusion, "What money? Madam, how can I have any money? Isn't it all in your hands?"

Qin Yao raised her hand and raised three fingers, "I count to three, one, two."

"Oops! I almost forgot!"

Liu Ji patted his head, walked in with a helpless smile, took out a handful of coins from his arms and put them on the table.

"This is the cost of the plaster that Liu Facai compensated for our child. I wanted to give it to my wife for safekeeping as soon as I came back. I didn't expect that I was so busy when I got home. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of it."

Qin Yao counted and found that there were only eighteen copper coins. With a sneer, she tapped her knuckles on the table twice.

Liu Ji then touched his arms again, with a look of surprise on his face, "Huh? There are two more dropped here."

A total of [-] copper coins were placed on the table, and he looked at Qin Yao innocently and said, "It's really gone. The six coins are for buying Cuju for children, and the fourteen coins are for plasters."

Qin Yao looked up at him, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a half-smile:
"There is also ten cents for mental damages."

She could hear it clearly at the gate of the ancestral hall, but he still wanted to play tricks on her, he was tired of it!
Liu Ji's eyes widened instantly. He had obviously spoken very quietly when they were talking about money. How on earth could she hear him while standing outside the ancestral hall?
"Madam, do you have clairvoyance?" Liu Ji smiled glibly, covering his chest tightly with his hands, trying to get away with it.

Qin Yao stood up immediately, and Liu Ji immediately raised his hands to cover his face. As a result, he was too concerned about his face and not about his money. Qin Yao took out all the coins hidden in his chest pocket.

Not only was the money gone, but when he put down his hand in an exclamation and wanted to get it back, Qin Yao slapped him on the back of the head, and the "slap" was a big pussy!

Countless little stars immediately lit up in front of Liu Ji's eyes, and he swayed for a few steps, wailing "Ouch," leaning against the door and sliding to the ground. He couldn't recover for a long time.

It hurts, it hurts too much!
Qin Yao put the thirty Wen coins into her pocket, and raised her chin at Dalang four times. The children immediately lined up and went back to the room to sleep, and no one dared to look at her father more.

"Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang, Si Niang!" Liu Ji held his dizzy head to keep him, but left nothing behind.

Qin Yao glanced at him and said, "Why are you shouting? If it weren't for your good performance today, I would throw you into the river to feed the fish right now! Get up, turn off the lights and go to sleep. If you scream again, I will cut your tongue!"

Liu Ji bit his lip, feeling so aggrieved that he wanted to die.

Seeing Qin Yao enter the room, he dared to whisper: "Qin Yao! You solve the problem violently, you made a mistake!"

The lights in the room went out and no one responded at all.

Liu Ji shook his fist at the air, gritted his teeth, got up, dusted off his clothes, and went back to his room to sleep with an unhappy face.

That night, as long as I thought about the thirty cents I lost, I couldn't sleep anyway, and I had to get up to make breakfast until dawn.

"Rou Rou Rou, I have been craving for meat all day long. How can I not kill you?" I muttered while mincing the minced meat.

There was a sound of getting up from the main house, and the stove room was instantly quiet, only the sound of firewood burning in the stove hole was left.

Qin Yao pushed open the door and walked towards the kitchen while tying her short hair into a high ponytail with cloth strips.

I fetched water to wash my face. When I saw that the water tank was almost dry, I asked, "Remember to fill up the water tank later."

After washing her face, she picked up the broom and swept away the dust in the yard. After feeding the chickens, the aroma of the meatloaf spread from the kitchen. Qin Yao took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good~"

Liu Ji brought out the packed lunch jar and two meatloaf for breakfast. Qin Yao finished the meatloaf in a few mouthfuls, took the tools and lunch, and started a busy day.

It took seven and a half days from taking the stone to grinding it into a mill. Now that the millstones have all been punched out, what Qin Yao has to do today is to send the finished millstones and stone mills to Xiahe Village in advance with the three Liu Bai brothers. .

The stone mill was heavy, and three people could only carry one piece in one trip. Two millstones contained four pieces. Qin Yao and four people could carry two millstones to their destination in one trip.

After turning back, the four of them rolled the stone wrapped in hemp rope to Xiahe Village. After a whole morning, the transportation task was successfully completed.

Most of the mill in Xiahe Village has been built, and the most important part of raising the floor has been completed, just above the pond, surrounded by four one-meter-high stone pillars, and several wooden piles have been placed in the middle part where the water is stepped. , load-bearing is no problem at all.

After agreeing with Wang Yu and others on the installation time of the water truck, Qin Yao took the three brothers Liu Bai back to Liujia Village.

She directly paid the wages to the three people. The total working hours counted as eight days, and each person paid 35 Wen a day. Each person sent 280 Wen, and the total expenditure was 840 Wen.

The three of them, Liu Bai, were a little embarrassed to receive their wages. They didn't expect that they would add up to so much.

If the third siblings were not willing to take them with them, they usually went out to find part-time jobs, and they might not be able to work so much after a month of busy work.

Liu Bai called Qin Yao's house to have dinner. Qin Yao waved her hand, saying that she had to go to Carpenter Liu, turned around and left.

Watching Qin Yao go away, the three brothers couldn't help laughing while holding two silver coins plus eighty copper coins.

Zhang and Mr. Liu never paid any attention to the money they earned from working as part-time workers outside. Except for Liu Fei who had to hand it over before they got married, Liu Bai and Liu Zhong all gave their wives their wages.

When He saw the silver, he was overjoyed.

It's the same with Qiu's side, she still has one in her stomach, and she is even short of money in her hand. With more than two coins in her hand, she has enough confidence.

Mrs. Zhang received the wages handed in by Liu Fei, and smiled and counted eighty cents for him to keep, occasionally buying something small.

Liu Fei accepted it with a smile, but still had a childish attitude, so he coaxed Jinbao Jinhua, and they went to Liu Merchant's house to buy snacks.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhang went to Grandma Wang's house and bought five chicks. She also killed an old hen that didn't lay eggs to give the whole family a good meal.

He reserved an extra bowl of thick chicken soup and gave it to Qiu, asking her to drink more as it would be good for her health.

When He saw it, although she was a little envious, she also smiled. In the past when she was pregnant, her mother-in-law would reserve some extra delicious food for herself.

She is not afraid of not having food, but she is afraid that the elders will be partial to someone, as long as the water is level, there is nothing to say.

Mrs. Qiu asked Liu Zhong to go to the kitchen and get two more small bowls, and divide half of the chicken soup out for the two children at home.

Jin Bao was overjoyed, took a big gulp, and smirked at his mother: "Mother, if only I could drink chicken soup every day!"

He knocked his head angrily and said, "You have a good idea, and it will be good if you can drink it."

Jin Bao let out an oh, he wanted to drink the remaining half bowl slowly in small sips, so that the taste of the chicken soup would last for a while.
