After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 48 Fraud (Part [-])
At about the same time, two people in the uniform of soap officials came out and took charge of the town.

Someone else opened the door of the cowshed behind him, and one cow after another was led out.

First, display each cow, then mark it with a wooden sign, write the price, and want to pay for it.

Of course, everyone has to bargain.

Qin Yao didn't see the cattle slaughter, and knew that there was nothing she wanted here, so she raised her leg and kicked Liu Ji who wanted to go to see the cattle.

"Let's go, go to the slaughterhouse!" Qin Yao said.

Liu Ji endured the soreness in his calf. He looked at the cows and shook his head, acting like he was dissatisfied. Then he turned around and followed the steps of the five mothers.

Qin Yao stuffed Sanlang and Siniang into his arms, "There are so many people, please watch the children stand aside and wait for me."

The morning is the busiest time in the slaughterhouse, and the pigs, cattle and sheep in the city are basically slaughtered here at this time.

Beef is the most difficult to come across, because the value of farm cattle is high, unless the cattle die of disease or are no longer able to work, they will be brought to slaughter.

Qin Yao felt that she was lucky, there was a cow slaughter today, and two of them were killed.

Kill now and sell now, each stall is set up, free trade.

Qin Yao bought the tendons of the two cows and spent fifty Wen.

The most important thing about entering the city was successfully completed. Qin Yao was in a good mood. She returned to the five father and son waiting on the street. While going to buy charcoal, she took a few children for a stroll.

Si Niang was hugged by her daddy, she looked high, she was the first one to spot the seller of candied haws, and immediately pulled her father's collar, "Daddy, buy candied haws!"

Liu Ji thought he was asking him to buy one, so he glanced at Qin Yao first and saw her nodding, so he stopped the man selling candied haws, put Sanlang and Siniang down, and bought one for each of the four of them.

After buying it, he did not forget to tell Qin Yao: "Eight cents, remember to replenish it later. This is our family's grocery money."

Qin Yao was most annoyed to see his dignified appearance, and nodded impatiently.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters were so happy. They didn't expect that Dad would pay for it. They originally wanted to use the two cents they had received from teaching Dad how to cook to buy one for themselves.

Now it's better, one person each, happiness comes so suddenly, and the smile is so bright.

"Auntie, you eat first." Siniang stepped on her feet, raised the candied haws high, and looked at Qin Yao expectantly.

The red hawthorns are wrapped in a layer of shiny sugar syrup, which looks particularly tempting.

Since it was her daughter's kindness, Qin Yao did not refuse.

When I bit the first one, the sugar coating was crunchy and mixed with the sour and crunchy hawthorn. It tasted pretty good.

"Aniang, is it delicious?" Si Niang asked expectantly.

Seeing Qin Yao eating, she was happier than eating it herself.

Qin Yao nodded, "It's delicious." He motioned to the little girl to try it quickly.

Siniang's small mouth was too small to bite, and she was so stimulated by the sugar that her saliva flowed. In the end, she had to lick the hard sugar coating first before taking a bite of the hawthorn.

This was a sweet and sour taste that I had never tasted before. Siniang's eyes lit up and she let out a "wow".

This little appearance was so painful that Qin Yao picked her up.

Saburo followed her for a while holding candied haws, seeing that his aunt didn't notice him, the little guy was feeling lost.

Qin Yao suddenly turned around and hugged him too.

The disappointment on Sanlang's face instantly turned into surprise, and he handed the candied haws to her mouth like a treasure.

Qin Yao also ate one.

Unexpectedly, Da Lang and Er Lang also followed suit, insisting that Qin Yao try theirs too.

Qin Yao smiled, she was not polite.Who can say no to snacks?

After eating two more candied haws, Qin Yao sighed with satisfaction, "Not bad, I will buy it next time."

"Still buying?" Liu Ji clutched his deflated money bag, but he couldn't buy anymore!

Qin Yao snorted at him.

The four children also made faces at him.

Liu Ji covered his heart and was hit hard.

For the money he paid, he didn't get a single candied haws, that's unreasonable!
"Father, here you are." Da Lang saw that his father was really pitiful, and he was afraid that he would be rejected by his stepmother because of his deep resentment, so he gave him the two remaining candied haws in his hand as a gesture of comfort.

Liu Ji was actually quite easy to coax. No, he immediately licked the candied haws like Siniang, showing a satisfied smile.

"Da Lang, dad didn't raise you in vain." Liu Ji said happily, holding his eldest son's shoulders.

Da Lang smiled, but still reminded him: "Father, you have never raised us for a day. Since I was born, you have ignored the family affairs. You always run to the city and ask your mother for money every time you go home. I didn’t give a penny to the family, I was raised by my mother.”

Qin Yao walked in front, and when she heard these words, she turned her head in surprise.

Seeing that the smile on Liu Ji's face froze instantly, the father and son looked at each other, Da Lang staggered away first, and both father and son fell silent.

When buying charcoal, I ran into an acquaintance by accident.

"Lin Erbao, why are you here?"

When Liu Ji saw him, he was frightened and his whole body was frightened.

Qin Yao also looked curiously at Lin Erbao, who was holding a little girl by the hand. The loving gaze she gave the little girl was not the fierce debt collector she had seen before.

Lin Erbao saw Qin Yao, who was leading the family, and asked with a smile, "Miss Qin, are you going to the city to buy new year's goods?"

Qin Yao nodded and glanced at the little girl next to her.

The little girl looked about seven or eight years old. She was neatly dressed and was well taken care of by her family.

"Father, who are they?" The little girl asked Lin Erbao curiously.

"Father's friend."

"Oh." The little girl didn't ask again.

They also came to sell charcoal, and they had already bought all the charcoal. Lin Erbao carried the backpack full of charcoal on his back, and prepared to say goodbye to Qin Yao's family.

Qin Yao remembered something and motioned to him to take a step to speak, and asked Liu Ji why he borrowed money from him in the first place.

20 taels of silver is not a small sum.

Lin Erbao's answer was a bit unexpected for Qin Yao.

It's not gambling or drinking flower wine, but being cheated.

The liar lied to Liu Ji that he knew people in the yamen, and Liu Ji was literate, and planned to recommend him to find a job in the county yamen.

Liu Jibing hurriedly sought medical treatment, but he really believed it and immediately ran to borrow money and handed it to the "good brother", but he took the money and ran away.

Moreover, he was not the only one who was deceived, and several other students from poor families in the academy were also deceived.

But others were not as courageous as Liu Ji, they only borrowed fifty taels, and the family also had land mortgaged, so nothing happened.

Watching Lin Erbao's father and daughter go away, Qin Yao turned around and came back, looked meaningfully at Liu Ji who was obviously flustered, and said word by word: "There will be no pies in the sky, only traps!"

As soon as Liu Ji heard it, he knew that she had pulled out all her details.

For a moment, I felt like a fish on the chopping board, lying naked in front of her, with no privacy at all.

He was a little annoyed, picked up a load of charcoal he had bought, and strode forward without saying a word.

With that gloomy expression, the four Dalang brothers and sisters were originally smiling, but they also realized that the adults were wrong, and restrained themselves.

"Let's go, please eat something delicious."

What Qin Yao was talking about was the wonton stand at the gate of the city. She ate there last time, and it was delicious.
