MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 179 Worry about pests

Chapter 179 Worry about pests

After being reminded by Liu Ji, several officials turned back to look at the four people reporting to the official, "Which one of you is disabled?"

 The four of them all stretched out their hands, and just as they were about to say that their hands were swollen from her blow.

Who would have thought that the outstretched hand was white and clean, with no trace of bruise at all.

Liu Ji immediately shouted: "Where is the disability? You are so bold and cunning. You dare to tease Mr. Cha and frame others. I think you are the ones to be arrested!"

He is skilled in making a rake.

The official's expression changed, and his oppressive gaze fell on the four reporting officers. The four of them were on the verge of tears. They only pointed at Qin Yao angrily and said that she was the one who beat them.

 But as to why there were no scars at all, they couldn't explain why.

At this moment, Qin Yao got off the bullock cart, walked to the officials, cupped her fists and said:

"Several officials, my name is Qin Yao and I am from Liujia Village. I just bought cattle at the cattle and horse market. I had a few arguments with these four people. They may be angry and want to retaliate against me, so they deliberately falsely accused me."

As soon as the name Qin Yao was said, the four officials who had just thought she looked familiar suddenly showed expressions of admiration.

They all shouted in unison, "It turns out to be Madam Qin, the bandit-suppressing hero!"

“Disrespect, disrespect!” The four people in turn bowed to Qin Yao, and looked at the four reporting officers in confusion.

 How could the heroine despise the king's laws and act recklessly?

 This must not be her fault!

Because of the positive and glorious image left to the government during the suppression of the bandits, and Qin Yao's unhurried explanation, the officials directed their anger at those four people.

"Excuse me, it's okay now. You should leave the city quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Leave these four people to us, and we will definitely clear your name, Mrs. Qin!" the leading officer said to Qin Yao with a smile.

Qin Yao clasped her fists and said thanks, turned around and got into the car, led the whole family, and slowly walked out of the city gate.

As soon as they left, anxious explanations and cries of injustice from four people came from behind.

Unsurprisingly, he shut up under the angry rebuke from the officials.

Qin Yao didn't care what would happen to those four people. She just had to explain to Liu Ji's angry look.

“We wanted to buy cattle, but they lowered the price to prevent the seller from selling, but later the seller sold it to me, so we had a little quarrel, right dad?”

 Qin Yao looked at Old Man Liu with a smile.

Old man Liu's eyebrows twitched, and he gave a light smile with poor acting skills. "Yes, that's it. Lady Yao didn't break their hands at all."

Siniang immediately corrected her, "Grandpa, that's not a discount, that's a misalignment. If your hand is broken, it's impossible for grandma to put it back on again."

 After saying that, the little girl looked up at her elder brother expectantly, "Brother, am I right?"

 She remembered that this was how A Niang told her eldest brother and second brother~

Dalang glanced at his father's dark face and his mother's speechless expression. He sighed softly and pushed down the little head raised in front of him, "Shut up."

Siniang: Meow meow meow? ? ?

"You are really good, madam!" Liu Ji sneered in Qin Yao's ear through gritted teeth.

 Nearly got them into a lawsuit.

Qin Yao glanced over with sharp eyes, "I never make a mistake in doing anything. Do you think they have any evidence?"

 “Ah this.” Liu Ji had to accept it and secretly gave a thumbs up.

He then said to He and Liu Zhong in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding."

He shook his head, "No, no, no, something happened."

 The couple's hearts were tense.

"Three younger brothers, sisters, and sister-in-law don't know that you are so popular in the county. The men are so polite when they see you." The couple breathed a sigh of relief, so that's what they were talking about.

Qin Yao smiled modestly, "It's okay, it's okay. I've basically met everyone in the yamen."

He's smile froze, his siblings are so humble.

Qin Yao turned to look at the piles of goods behind her and naturally changed the subject, "What did you buy? There are so many?"

 There are two cars now, so everyone can ride in the car.

 Old man Liu, Liu Zhong and six children squeezed into a carriage. The ox cart was used to carry goods. With Liu Ji as the driver, Qin Yao and He's sister-in-law could also sit in the back of the cart.

 The big dark gray buffalo is very strong. It pulls the cart very steadily and is obedient. It is easier to use than a carriage.

Moreover, they can still farm, so I instantly felt that these sixteen taels were well spent!

He lit the goods on the car and said, "This is peanuts, that is kidney beans, and there are some dry goods from the south that will be used for making soup later."

I can buy vegetables and eggs in the village. I have to go to Grandma Wang later and ask her to help keep the eggs and don’t sell them.

Qin Yao was a little surprised, "With so many ingredients, how many dishes are you planning to cook?"

 “Mother said that a happy event is rare, so I plan to hold ten of them.”

Speaking of this, Mr. He remembered that she had to go around to inform her relatives and friends, and expected to ask Qin Yao: "Can you lend us your ox cart?"

Qin Yao waved her hand generously, "Of course you can, but remember to feed it before returning it to me."

Mr. He was very happy and hurriedly said that she would not treat her cattle badly. She had already imagined in her mind the surprised expressions of her parents, brothers and sister-in-law when she drove the cattle cart back to her parents' home to inform them.

Just thinking about it made her feel happy.

Qin Yao saw that she was smiling happily. She shook her head helplessly and raised her eyes to look at the scenery on the road.

　　A sigh came from the carriage, and Old Man Liu said sadly: "Seeing that the sky is getting sunny day by day, I'm afraid the snow, which is so cold in spring, will never fall again."

Jin Bao curiously asked: "Grandpa, wouldn't it be better if it didn't snow? It's snowing and freezing to death, why aren't you happy?"

Old man Liu looked at his stupid grandson angrily, "You have lived for so many years and you don't even know this? Are you still a farmer like us?"

“I didn’t want to be a farmer in the first place.” Jinbao glanced at Dalang Erlang secretly. He also wanted to go to school. Who likes working in the fields?

 Old man Liu touched his little head. He was as stupid as a tiger-headed man. He only knew that he was following his father, but he didn't know that his mother was smarter.

Looking at the few young ones, they all looked over curiously and patiently explained: "We farmers depend on the weather for food. If the season is not right, the next year's harvest will be affected."

“Do you know why everyone says auspicious snow heralds a good harvest?”

A few people shook their heads and asked Grandpa: "Why?"

“Because snow can freeze the eggs of pests underground, the crops will grow well next year. But if there is no snow to freeze these eggs, when the weather warms, they will break out of their shells and harm the crops.”

 Speaking of this, Old Man Liu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the inhumane locust plague twenty years ago.

Dalang asked nervously: "Grandpa, didn't it snow a little in the twelfth lunar month? It should also freeze to death a lot of insect eggs, right?"

 Old man Liu nodded slightly, but his sadness remained unabated.

 With less harvest, life will be more difficult. Naturally, we hope that things can continue smoothly.

It’s the end of the month and I’d like to ask everyone for some monthly passes.

　　　The fifth update will be tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great time during the National Day holiday!
