Chapter 36
"Erlang, where is your eldest brother?" Qin Yao asked doubtfully.

Erlang had already washed his hands, and was scooping up water for Sanlang and Siniang to wash, when he heard the words, he replied, "He's still catching fish in the river."

Qin Yao asked curiously, "Did they catch any fish today?"

Siniang rushed to say, "Eldest brother didn't catch it, but my uncle and Brother Jinbao did!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, so Dalang didn't plan to go home for dinner until he caught the fish?
Just as I was about to go to the river to call the child back, he came back by himself.

He still held the tree branch that Qin Yao had made before, but his hand was empty, and there was no sign of any fish.

"Father, Auntie." Da Lang called someone wearily, carefully placed the tree branch under the eaves, washed his hands dejectedly, and then went into the house to eat.

Liu Ji gloated and poked Da Lang's arm with his chopsticks, "What's wrong? Didn't you catch any fish?"

"Siniang said that both Liu Fei and Jin Bao were caught. Aren't you two together? Seeing as you didn't catch them, why didn't they tell you apart and let you come back empty-handed?"

Dalang was already unhappy because he didn't catch any fish, but when he heard his father say this, he became even more silent.

Liu Ji wanted to say more, but Qin Yao glanced over, then shut up and ate with vegetables.

Qin Yao said to Da Lang: "If you can't catch it today, you will continue to catch it tomorrow, and you will catch it. Don't worry."

Da Lang raised his head from the bowl, glanced at her with black and white eyes, and nodded with an "um".

There was no meat tonight, so Liu Ji didn't know where to buy the eggs. He scrambled a plate of eggs and boiled a bowl of vegetables.

Not to mention the appearance, the saltiness is moderate and Qin Yao already feels thankful.

Judging from the meals prepared by Liu Ji in the past two days, this girl doesn't know how to cook at all!

But people can learn even if they don’t know how to do it.

So, after dinner, Qin Yao put forward some suggestions and requests on Liu Ji's cooking skills in the past two days, hoping that he can continue to improve.

She spoke in a pleasant manner, but she was wiping the short knife that had not been used for a few days and was a little dusty in her hand.

How dare Liu Ji say no?

All I could do was say: "Yes, yes, yes, madam, you are right!"

After the Dalang brothers and sisters finished washing and went back to the house to sleep, Qin Yao came to the stove and said to Liu Ji who was applying medicine on his face:

"Tomorrow you will go to Xiahe Village with me to buy the tiles."

There was no light outside the house, and the night in the countryside was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. A person suddenly appeared behind him, which scared Liu Ji so much that he almost stuck the medicine in his hand into his nostrils.

Turning her head abruptly, seeing that it was Qin Yao, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said flatteringly: "My lady, you are so silent, you are so frightening."

Qin Yao left after finishing speaking, not even bothering to give him another look.

Liu Ji snorted at the leaving figure, but immediately became worried about tomorrow's lunch.

They are all gone, who will cook lunch for the workers.

Qin Yao had already arranged this matter. When she went to the village to buy wood in the afternoon, she stopped by the old house and entrusted her sister-in-law He to make lunch.

Although He didn't deal with Qin Yao much, every time he dealt with Qin Yao, he didn't suffer any disadvantages, so he readily agreed.

The next morning.

After eating the tasteless noodle soup breakfast made by Liu Ji, Qin Yao took out the food for noon today and put it on the stove separately, and told Da Lang Erlang to lock the door of the main room, and then put on a self-defense bag. Dagger went to Xiahe Village.

Liu Ji has always been a restless person, and staying in the village these days can suffocate him.

Being able to go out today, even if I have to follow this evil woman Qin Yao, I still feel uncontrollably happy.

It may be that Qin Yao didn't do anything to him after seeing that his cooking was so unpalatable in the past two days.

Liu Ji also became more courageous, talking too much along the way.

"My lady, why do you always hold this broken knife?"

"Miss, you are born with beauty, this knife doesn't match your temperament at all."

Qin Yao ignored it.

"Madam, I heard from Dalang and the others that you hunted a black bear in the mountains last time. The bear was sold for a lot of money, right? Is it 100 taels?"

"But it's all my fault. If you hadn't paid off my debt, you wouldn't have gone into the mountains to take this risk..."

Qin Yao still ignored it.

It wasn't until Liu Ji talked all the way for an hour and didn't stop, that Qin Yao glanced at him irritably, "Can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Liu Ji immediately pursed his lips.

The wound on his face healed quickly, and now there is only a little trace of blue.

His hair was tied on the top of his head with a burning branch, and the ends of his hair that couldn't be pulled in were casually scattered to the side.

However, this kind of ruffian is not cruel and careless, but cowardly and loving.

At first glance, he doesn't know himself clearly, and thinks that he has a superior temperament and is unparalleled in beauty.

"Let me ask you, do they all say you look good?" Qin Yao asked.

Liu Ji immediately laughed and asked in surprise: "Madam, how do you know?"

Could it be that he finally found out that he was good-looking and decided to treat him well?
Qin Yao sneered lightly and said firmly: "They are trying to kill you."

Liu Ji: "."

"Go faster!" Qin Yao urged coldly.

Liu Ji hurriedly followed with resentment.

She is definitely jealous, jealous of his beauty!
Qin Yao suddenly remembered something, and pointed to his face, "Why did Lin Erbao only hit you in the face? What did you do during those days when you were taken away?"

The mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, said that Lin Erbao didn't want to kill her, and only sent people to work in the mine to pay off the debt. Logically speaking, there was no reason for Liu Ji to be beaten into a pig's head.

Unexpectedly, she would ask this question suddenly, Liu Ji's expression froze immediately, and he said perfunctorily:
"They are jealous of my good looks."

Because this face is so attractive to women, the older girls and younger daughter-in-laws in the mine would give him delicious food from time to time, and the overseer's wife even asked the overseer to assign him some easy jobs.

Are you saying that these men must not be mad?
They were worried that the soul of the mother-in-law in the family would be taken away, so they drove him away from the mine.

It's a pity that he didn't do anything, just talk to the women and make the big girls and the little wives giggle. These men can't tolerate him.

Sure enough, men get jealous and are much crazier than women!
Thinking of this, Liu Ji said "Bah!" and spat into the grass next to him, as if he was spitting on the faces of the ugly men in the mine.

Qin Yao glanced suspiciously at the angry Liu Ji, "Are you sure you didn't do anything?"

Liu Ji's face is indeed very good, but his temperament is too poor to achieve the effect of making people jealous.

Liu Ji puffed out his chest confidently, "Of course!"

Qin Yao twitched the corners of her mouth, she reluctantly believed it.

While talking, Xiahe Village arrived.

Liu Ji was very attentive and took the initiative to talk to the villagers. He asked for the specific direction of the tile kiln and enthusiastically led Qin Yao there.

When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Qin Yao has never seen him so active when cooking.

Sure enough, when she first arrived in Wayao and saw the charming proprietress here, Qin Yao understood.

As soon as he saw the landlady, Liu Ji's nice words came out as if they were free of charge, and he spoke of her little sister-in-law.

The proprietress felt offended at first, but when she looked up, she saw that he looked so good, and she, who was always aggressive, couldn't help but feel shy.

Seeing Liu Jide reaching out to touch his hand, Qin Yao's slap came quickly and violently!
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, just hearing the strength, others couldn't help shaking their bodies.

Liu Ji held the back of his hand, which was rapidly reddening, and gritted his teeth to hold back the tears brewing from the stinging pain in his eyes.

Silently retreated behind Qin Yao.

Looking up at the sky, he secretly inhaled.
