After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

There is no answer to this question yet.

It's April now, and there are still more than three months before the rice is ready.

After busy with spring plowing, I finally have some free time.

Liu Ji took the water mill's money box home and counted one hundred and seventy copper coins.

Including the eggs and the vegetables, the income is almost 200 yuan. Liu Ji finished counting and reported to Qin Yao.

Oh, by the way, there are also the four little chickens in the chicken coop given by Grandma Wang. There are a lot more chickens than in March.

But not everyone invests money so consciously. There are also those who are sneaky and sneaky. They use the water mill and leave without paying, not just once or twice.

Have you found the person? Qin Yao asked.

This is not a problem for Liu Ji. Honest people hate people like him, but the boys in the village compliment him the most because he has seen the world outside. It only took him a long time to find out who refused to pay.

We know who it is, but there is no evidence now. I will ask Erlang to go to the mill to keep an eye on him later. If he is caught once, we will settle the old and new accounts together!

In the past, he always took advantage of others, when was it his turn to be taken advantage of?

Liu Ji swore in his heart that if he was caught, he would be beaten to death and he would make up for all the money, plus mental damages!

Qin Yao told him with rare approval, This time I allow you to pretend to be powerful.

Liu Ji's expression froze, as if he didn't have the ability to deal with people.

However, it is definitely better to have Hu Wei to borrow from him. There are many brothers in that family, and he really can't stand it alone.

While the couple was settling accounts, a faint sound came from outside the hospital: Cack-clack——

Liu Ji raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his eyes flashed with joy.

Madam, I will put the money box back, and then go buy two handfuls of fresh vegetables. You put the clothes to be washed in the basin first, and I will wash them together later.

After explaining, he went out holding the cash box.

When he arrived at the door, he waved quickly to the grass in the distance. A figure jumped out and followed him. The two of them ran to the river together, sneaking like thieves.

The two of them came to the grove across the river together. Liu Ji smiled and gave the other person a slap on the chest, How come you guys still remember the secret code called chicken? I almost didn't catch it.

The other party teased him funny: Third brother, it's not easy to ask you to come out. You have to give a secret signal. My sister-in-law is too strict with you.

Liu Ji didn't want to talk about this topic because it would damage his image in front of his younger brother, so he skipped the question:

What's the good thing?

Shunzi was surprised and asked: Third brother, how did you know it was a good thing?

Liu Ji thought to himself, just guessing. He smiled but said nothing, signaling Shunzi to speak quickly if he had anything to say.

Shunzi is from Xiahe Village, and she met Liu Ji in the county town. Both of them are well-known fools in their respective villages. They go out to camp all day long without bringing any money home.

These two people, both of whom are disliked at home, had a strong resonance when they met. You call me brother and I call you brother, which is great.

Compared with Liu Ji, Shunzi still knows how to take care of his family. He works at home when the farm is busy. Only when he is free will he wander around - looking for opportunities to get ahead!

No, I just found out that Ding Yuan’s family in the town was looking for part-time workers, so I immediately ran over to Liu Ji, hoping that the two of them could go out together to do something big.

Liu Ji became excited when he heard that he was going to work at the Yuan's house. When are you leaving?

Shunzi said: I'll wait for you at the entrance of our village at early tomorrow morning (five o'clock in the morning). Let's go together.

Having said that, he was worried about Liu Ji's speed and repeatedly warned him before leaving: Third brother, get up earlier. This time there are only ten people besides Ding. If you go late, you won't be able to register.

The fastest journey from Liujiacun to Jinshi Town takes one and a half hours, but Xiahe Village is much closer, and you can reach the town in half an hour.

Liu Ji calculated the time and found that he had to set off at least a quarter past three o'clock, so that the two of them could arrive at Ding's wife's house early at the end of Mao hour.

Liu Ji felt a little hesitant at the thought of getting up so early and walking at night.

But then I thought about it, if I were to be appreciated by Ding, wouldn't I be able to achieve great success and enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future?

The most important thing is, if he has the support of Member Ding, why should he be afraid of Qin Yao, a wicked woman?

Thinking of this, Liu Ji felt secretly happy.

Back home, while Liu Ji went into the kitchen to cook, he peeked at Qin Yao who was weeding the vegetable patch in the yard. He thought of many excuses in his mind, and finally said, half truthfully and half falsely:

Madam, I'm afraid I have to leave home for a few days.

Qin Yao didn't even look back and responded in a calm tone, No, you stay at home, look after the fields and weed the vegetable fields, just take care of the house. I've already figured it out. You can pay back the debt you owe me slowly. No. Eager for this moment.”

Liu Ji's heart suddenly skipped a beat. What does this mean?

He asked in surprise: Do you know why I have to leave home for a few days?

Young member Ding is looking for part-time workers, right? Qin Yao turned around and said with a smile, Don't worry, you don't have to get up early tomorrow, I'll go for you.

As he spoke, as if he could not see his shocked expression, he continued to talk to himself:

It's better for a man with your looks to stay out of the public eye. The world is tough and dangerous, and men must learn to protect themselves.

She had never spoken to him in such a considerate tone, but at this moment Liu Ji felt like his hair was standing on end.

How did she know that he was going to Ding's wife's house?

How did she know that he would get up early to meet Shunzi tomorrow?

Liu Ji asked with a trembling voice: How do you know?

Qin Yao smiled brightly, Because I am standing behind you.

Liu Ji was shocked and yelled: Are you a ghost?

Qin Yao put down the small hoe in her hand and stood up, threw the hoeed grass aside, went to the sink to scoop out water and washed her hands, lowered her eyes and said slowly:

With your little strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to register, so it would be safer for me to go. Anyway, we are all a family, and it doesn't matter who does it. It's the same whether you go or I go.

Liu Ji thought, It's the same, so why don't you let me go!

He forced himself to calm down, pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, and reminded her: They only want men, but there are no women who work as day laborers.

No? Qin Yao turned around and looked at him with a pair of black eyes, Not in Liujia Village, not in Jinshi Town, not in Kaiyang County, and not in Zijing Mansion and Capital City?

Liu Ji angrily retorted: I have never been to Jingzhou Prefecture or the capital, how do I know!

Yeah, you don't know either. If you don't know, you may or may not have it. Qin Yao shrugged and spread her hands, looking tolerant as if you were continuing to quibble.

But Liu Ji knew that if she kept talking, she would take action.

Qin Yao, how can there be such a strong-minded woman like you in this world! Liu Ji asked through gritted teeth.

He will steal everything from him, woo woo woo

Qin Yao's palm fell on his shoulder, and the force was heavy, like a thousand pieces of gold pressing down on his shoulder. Liu Ji only heard his kneecap making an unsatisfactory click sound, and his expression suddenly changed, Mother, spare my life!

Then he hurriedly warned: Madam, don't be too late to get up early tomorrow.

Qin Yao withdrew her hand from his shoulder and smiled coldly, I'm doing this for your own good.

Liu Ji: Thank you!
