Liu Jixin said that if I really confessed and showed leniency, I would definitely die without a burial place.

But this time he really didn't cause her any trouble!

Liu Ji had an innocent look on his face, covering his heart and asking with hurt, "Madam, am I so unworthy of your trust?"

Qin Yao saw that there was no guilt in his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Really?"

Liu Ji answered decisively: "Really not!"

Seeing that she didn't believe it, he raised his hand to swear that the village chief was still there, so Qin Yao quickly pulled his raised hand back.

While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the gate of the county government office. As soon as the officer on duty saw Liu Ji, he smiled at him and nodded. It was obvious that they were familiar with each other.

Liu Ji had become familiar with these people before, but at that time, he had slim legs and a white body, and no one would take him seriously.

But things are different now. He is also a child. Although his background is not very serious, he is also a serious scholar!
Only then did the people in the yamen look at him seriously, and even said a few polite words.

Of course, Mrs. Qin's status as husband-in-law also gave him great convenience.Liu Ji was good at making use of these. He would climb up if given a pole. All the officials in the county government knew him.

Having money in hand is more useful than anything else. With a little bit of the money Liu Ji earned from the literacy class, he can immediately provide convenience to Qin Yao.

Liu Ji proudly led Qin Yao and the village chief into the county government office. They were as familiar as if they were in his own home. There was nothing to do, and the door was clear.

While the village chief was speaking in front of others and no one was paying attention, Liu Ji whispered in Qin Yao's ear: "Madam, I have found a way to make money."

Qin Yao felt that he was really evil today. How could a lazy and lazy person find a serious way to make money?
But this time she really underestimated him. Liu Ji pointed to the hut in front of him that was used for running errands, and told Qin Yao that he planned to be a government agent, specifically for those who came to the yamen to run errands but didn't know what to do. People who don’t know where to go should lead the way and help them make their journey easier.

As for him, he doesn't want much, he only charges a few dozen yuan as escort fee.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, looked at his triumphant expression, and asked tentatively: "Is it possible?"

Liu Ji patted his chest and said, "Of course!" The money bag in his arms was bulging!
Seeing Qin Yao's surprised look, when Liu Jizheng was about to be nice, he saw the corner of her mouth raised slightly, laughed, patted his arm and said:
"It's good. Now that you know how to be self-reliant, I won't give you any monthly living expenses in the future. Liu Ji, I really didn't expect you to be able to make money to support yourself now. Well done! That's great!"

When had she ever praised him like this?

Amidst the praises for such a good job, Liu Ji couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said hurriedly: "What the hell, ma'am, you did a good job in supervising me."

After finishing speaking, I looked up and saw that there was no one else in front of me?Qin Yao and the village chief had already entered the registration room and completed the final procedures.

The smile on Liu Ji's face gradually disappeared. He scratched his head. He always felt something strange, etc.!His living expenses!

Looking at Qin Yao who had finished her work and walked out chatting and laughing with the village chief, Liu Ji hurried forward to greet her with various explanations.

"Madam, you also know that everything is difficult at the beginning. I have thought of this idea, but I haven't had time to implement it yet. Do you think we can discuss the living expenses again?" Liu Ji whispered in her ear.

The village chief's curious eyes swept over him frequently. Liu Ji also wanted to save face and did not dare to speak loudly.

Qin Yao couldn't hear it and asked the village chief if the registration and filing procedures for the stationery factory had been completed now.

After receiving a positive reply from the village chief, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she felt relieved. As long as the due taxes were paid on time, the stationery factory could continue to operate for a long time.The village chief smiled happily and said, "When the road is repaired, our Liujia Village will definitely change a lot."

Qin Yao also smiled and nodded, and looked up at the sky. When it was time for lunch, she happened to pass by Shopkeeper Fan's restaurant. Qin Yao invited the village chief to come in for a light meal.

The village chief happily agreed, and the two of them entered the inn with smiles on their faces. Liu Ji was left standing at the door, hesitating to speak, "Madam, my living expenses."

The voice was very small and was instantly drowned out by the noise in the restaurant lobby.

never mind!Let’s have lunch first!

Liu Ji stamped his feet and strode into the restaurant. He wanted to eat and drink with his wife!

Qin Yao didn't chase him away, but asked suspiciously: "You don't have to have classes in your academy?"

Liu Ji: "My husband is seriously ill and has asked for leave to let the students study by themselves."

"Oh." Qin Yao didn't bother to ask anymore. She and the village chief were thinking about the bright future of Liujia Village, and she didn't see any hint of Liu Ji asking for living expenses.

However, after the meal was finished and he was about to leave the city, he still gave him two hundred coins and warned him with a sneer:
"I'm happy for you that you can make money, but don't forget what our primary goal is."

Liu Ji took the money and smiled, "I know, I know, getting fame is the most important thing, making money is secondary. I don't need to waste time making money, I just need to make you a scholar."

Qin Yao smiled warmly at him with satisfaction, "Come on, you don't have to come back next time Xiu Mu, wait until July and a half, come back for the autumn harvest."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Liu Ji felt pleasantly surprised.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, he remembered the discomfort of last year's autumn harvest, which made his whole body red and itchy. A drop of sweat instantly rolled down his forehead.

Without giving him a chance to refuse, Qin Yao had already arrived at the city gate. She waved her hand to him and told him not to see her off. She smiled and walked out of the city with the village chief.

Across the city gate, Liu Ji Baba watched.

On the carriage, Awang asked in a low voice: "Madam, won't you take me home with you?"

Qin Yao nodded and said, "Xiu Mu doesn't have to come to pick him up next time. I'll let him study hard in the academy and come back during the autumn harvest."

Awang nodded to express his understanding.

The village chief was sitting in the carriage, opening the curtain to enjoy the cool breeze coming from the roadside. Thinking of Liu Jigang's performance at the county government office, the old man was quite surprised.

"Mother Yao, it has to be you. Look at your Liu Ji. Not only is he reliable in doing things now, but he is also willing to study hard. He doesn't even go home for a long time, and he is still reviewing his homework in the academy. I think the scholar in our village is Sir, we will be adding another one soon.”

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Then let me lend you some good words." She also hoped that Liu Ji could successfully pass the government examination next year.

"That's right." Seeing the large farm beside the road, Qin Yao suddenly remembered something and asked curiously: "Village chief, do you know where the fields are best near us?"

The village chief was surprised, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you want to buy land again?"

Qin Yao nodded, "Yes, I have some extra money recently and want to buy dozens more acres of land. Even if I can't plant it all, I can rent it out to others to plant. It's good for me to collect the rent myself."
