MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 202 pests

With the twelve taels of silver she had earned from today's sale, Qin Yao took the five children at home back to Liujia Village after school.

My own ox cart was much faster than the driver's. When we arrived at the village, the sunset was still hanging in the sky, and the fields were full of busy villagers.

Qin Yao parked the bullock cart at the gate of the factory and asked the five children to go home first. She would come back later.

 She wanted to calculate the money she received today with Carpenter Liu, and by the way, she wanted to talk about modifying the details of the book box.

Dalang and the others obediently agreed, dragging their own book boxes home first.

Jin Bao was walking behind with his own book basket and Erlang empty-handed. He looked at the book boxes of the three people in front of him with envy in his eyes.

Erlang made it by himself, thinking that Qin Yao would definitely give him a sales commission after a while, and he was still in a good mood.

Not so with Jinbao. He was really envious, but he also knew that Aunt San would sell a bookcase for more than 500 yuan. It was impossible for his parents to buy it for him, so he could only think about it in his heart.

 Or maybe, let the third aunt sell him one at the cost price?

Thinking of this, Jinbao couldn't hold it any longer and said to Erlang, "I'm going home first!"

After saying that, he ran away. His impatient look made Erlang look curious, "Why is he going?"

Dalang had seen through it a long time ago, "Let's ask my aunt and uncle to buy him a magical book box."

Erlang said oh, a little regretfully, "He should have bought it from me."

This way he can not only give him a discount, but also get a commission himself.

Dalang scolded him that he was crazy for thinking about money. He wanted to earn money from everyone, and warned him to restrain himself.

 “The good news should not flow to outsiders.” Erlang replied weakly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his thinking.

But since we are all cousins, we still have to take care of family ties. Erlang shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Dalang glared at him, and then urged Sanlang and Si Niang, who were playing with grass on the roadside, to walk faster. They had saved up some housework for several days, so they had to finish it quickly while they were resting.

Dirty clothes and socks must be washed, and the yard and house must be cleaned. If it is still early, Lao Huang must be taken to the river for a while so that he can take a bath and eat some young grass.

By the way, there are still chicken coops that need to be cleaned up, otherwise Aunt Yao will be exhausted alone.

Dalang was full of things, but the three younger ones could not think of so much. Although the eldest brother urged him, he could not help but be attracted by the things on the roadside, and he took his time to get home.

On Qin Yao's side, he **** the bullock cart and called Carpenter Liu out, and the two of them took stock.

This time she got back twelve hundred, two hundred and twenty-four cents. After deducting the cost, the net profit was sixty-two, five hundred and sixteen cents.

Qin Yao did not forget Erlang's commission. He was given a commission of six cents for one of them, and exactly ninety cents for fifteen.

 After deducting the ninety cents, the two of them split it equally, and each person recorded three hundred and two hundred and thirteen cents.

 There were two other book boxes that Qin Yao took to the Ding family as a favor, so she only got three taels.

 Liu Carpenter said that he didn’t need to give it to him, but at Qin Yao’s insistence, he had to accept it.

 Clear accounts are conducive to long-term cooperation.

 After getting the money, both of them were happy and continued to communicate about the details of the improvement of the book box.

 After everything was discussed and Qin Yao and Qin Yao were about to go home, Jin Bao ran in holding He and said expectantly: "Third Aunt, I want to buy a bookcase!"

Mr. He followed behind and said angrily, "This kid is so greedy for your elder brother's magical book box. He throws a lot of tantrums and rolls around at home. It's almost **** me off!" Seeing the mother and son appear, Qin Yao was not surprised at all, so she asked Carpenter Liu Go ahead and lead the two of them to the warehouse to let Jinbao choose one.

Looking at her son who rushed in to choose a book box with joy, Mr. He first sighed helplessly, and then looked at Qin Yao anxiously.

Before she could speak, Qin Yao said: "Just give me two hundred coins. After all, it is a business partnership between two people. I have to recover this cost, otherwise it will be difficult to account for it."

Mr. He let out a sigh of surprise. She didn't expect Qin Yao to take the initiative to reduce so much money. While she was relieved, her heart felt hot.

"Then, I will thank his third aunt on Jinbao's behalf." He counted two slings of copper coins from her purse and handed them to Qin Yao. She was embarrassed at getting a huge advantage of more than 300 yuan.

Qin Yao collected the money and shook her head with a smile, "You're welcome, I'm from my family."

 “Yes, yes, it’s better to have one’s own family.” Mr. He praised.

Although the book boxes were all similar in appearance, Jin Bao carefully selected a book box that he thought was very special. He couldn't bear to pull it and carried it all the way.

The three of them were preparing to separate at the door of the old house. He warmly invited Qin Yao to have dinner at home, but Qin Yao refused. She had to go home to see how the wheat harvest was going.

 When he mentioned wheat, He's smile faded, his brows furrowed slightly, he shook his head and said:

“This year, a lot of the wheat is infested with worms and is not growing well. I heard that the field at the foot of the mountain is almost dead and there is no harvest at all.”

Afraid that Qin Yao would be too worried, he quickly added, "But Liu Dafu's family will have nothing to do with the fertile land next to the river, and there should be nothing to do with the ten acres of your family's land."

Qin Yao's heart suddenly rose, "Is the pest infestation so serious?"

He sighed, "It doesn't look good, but we have troubles like this every few years. Our family still has food from last year, so we're not worried."

 But it is hard to say whether those tribesmen who sold all their excess grain last year to pay for corvee labor can survive until the autumn harvest.

Qin Yao has been busy making book boxes in the factory shed these days, and she really didn't notice this.

 Passing by the river home, looking at the piles of black wheat straw covered with insect spots on the edge of the field, I realized that He was putting it too mildly.

Most of the wheat fields on the mountain side of the village were infested with insects. Once the bugs hit it, they would cover a large area. Some of the land was scattered and some could be saved. Those large wheat fields that were connected together suffered heavy losses.

Qin Yao grabbed a handful of wheat ears, and when she pinched them, they were all flat. A piece of gray dust fell on her fingers, and the wheat grains had long been eaten away.

Farmers piled up these wheat straws and burned them in the fields, hoping that the fire would kill these pests and not affect spring plowing.

 Now that things have happened, farmers can only try their best to ensure that there will be no problems with the next crop of food.

I thought to myself, just bite the bullet and hold on until the autumn harvest.

Qin Yao returned home with an uneasy mood. The yard at the door was filled with wheat harvested by two day laborers.

 The two day laborers have already cut back half of the crop, and the rest will take more than half a day to finish tomorrow.

With the last rays of the setting sun, Qin Yao checked her wheat and found that there were many black spots. The seemingly full ears of wheat were half empty when she touched them, and her heart sank.

Si Niang called out in the courtyard: “Mom, it’s time to eat!”

Qin Yao patted the empty shell on her palm, stood up and said, "Here we come."

  She put away all her worries, walked into the yard with a smile, washed her hands and started eating.

After dinner, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard. Qin Yao's ears twitched slightly and she turned to look towards the gate.

Liu Ji, who was supposed to be waiting for the results of the results in the county town, actually came back carrying a baggage, covered in travel.
