MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 215 A man of knowledge does not speak secretly

Chapter 215: People who understand do not speak secretly

Qin Yao filled a basin of warm water, put the little hands of the twins in and washed them clean, and then the family started to eat.

Saburo was still reluctant to part with it. While eating, he kept looking back at the basin of muddy water at the door of the kitchen. He thought to himself whether he should make the mud dumplings and steamed buns again while his mother was not paying attention.

However, as soon as this dangerous idea came up, Qin Yao's sharp eyes glanced over, and Sanlang quickly turned back and started eating seriously.

  Every family in the village has shrunk a lot recently, and the two meals a day of multi-grain rice have been replaced by multi-grain porridge. The wild vegetables growing on the edge of the fields are cut off as soon as they appear, and all the vegetables are used to fill the food gap.

I have been here like this before, so I don’t think it’s that difficult. After all, it’s better than the worst, and there are many people who are more miserable than the villagers in Liujiacun.

 In this frugal atmosphere, Qin Yao's family still maintains the previous diet of eating meat once every three to five days, and the three meals a day are either white rice or millet porridge.

 Or finely ground flour to make delicious snacks such as pancakes, dumplings, and steamed buns.

No matter how good Qin Yao’s cooking skills are, she can still eat these common meals as she has cooked them many times.

　In addition, the best ingredients are used. The four Dalang brothers and sisters each have a big bowl of rice, which makes their mouths full of delicious food.

 After dinner, it was the turn of the housekeepers, Dalang and Siniang, who took the initiative to clear away the dishes.

Qin Yao touched her bloated belly and was about to lean on the chair to eat when someone came to the door.

 “Fu Aye!”

The elder man and fourth mother who are washing dishes in the courtyard should first recognize the person coming and call for them.

Liu Dafu responded with a sigh, smiled at the two brothers and sisters, and then looked towards the main room, "Ms. Qin, did you just eat?"

Qin Yao stood up to greet him and asked him if he had eaten.

Liu Dafu nodded and said he had eaten. He walked into the main room. Qin Yao asked him to sit down and turned to get a cup to pour him water.

"Mrs. Qin, you're welcome. I'm not thirsty. Sit down quickly and I'll tell you something."

Qin Yao had better pour the water, then sat down opposite Liu Dafu and motioned to him.

Liu Dafu took a sip of water and asked tentatively: "Do you still want to buy land?"

Qin Yao nodded, feeling a little suspicious, "What? Do you want to sell it?"

Liu Dafu sighed "Alas" and did not answer Qin Yao's question directly. He looked sad and said slowly:

“It’s all good, but we have been attacked by insects, which makes life more and more difficult for everyone. Now we are seeing chaos outside. If the government examination comes in May, wouldn’t it happen just in time?”

"The scientific examination is the most important thing, it is related to a lifetime. If something goes wrong and delays the scientific examination, the whole life will be over."

 Speaking of this, Liu Dafu sighed again, with a very worried expression.

Qin Yao raised the corner of her mouth and lowered it again. She was looking for a bodyguard for her son.

But if you exchange it for land, this deal is really good.

 I think Liu Dafu also knew that the relationship between them was not good enough to persuade her to help just by talking.

Besides, when she wanted to buy land at the end of last year, he didn't give her any face to sell it.

Qin Yao remembered that at that time, she asked the clan leader to help her act as a middleman.

 But it was not settled in the end.

Qin Yao met Liu Dafu's eyes for two seconds, ignored the expectation in his eyes, looked away at Dalang and Siniang who were washing dishes in the courtyard, and asked uncertainly: "Is it chaotic outside?"

Liu Dafu nodded fiercely, "It's chaotic. The spring plowing hasn't even ended yet. There are beggars everywhere, including people from the whole village."

His family doesn’t have much business and relies on the fruits, vegetables and food produced in the fields, so occasionally they have to go to the county restaurant to deliver seasonal fruits and vegetables.

The last time I came back from the county town, I was blocked by a family of beggars who forced me to beg for food.

 Liu Gong was the only one who delivered the food, and he couldn't hold his nerve at all.

 In the end, I had to give up a bag of snacks that I was going to take home for the children, and I was able to escape.

 When he returned home and told his family, Liu Dafu immediately thought of his second son Liu Li who would go to Fucheng to take the main examination in May. If something happens to him on the way to take the exam, and a scholar like him can't resist such a persistent pursuit, wouldn't it lead to trouble?

These beggars are still polite now, but if they go on for a while, they may not be so.

 Where did the robbers come from?

Liu Dafu has lived for most of his life, how can he not know this clearly?

 I immediately thought of finding a protective plaque for Liu Li.

It just so happened that Liu Ji was going to Fucheng to take the exam. Isn't it a coincidence?

Liu Dafu was sure that Qin Yao would definitely accompany Liu Ji to Fucheng. As soon as he had time, he immediately came to Qin Yao to take Liu Li with him.

  In any case, there is no difference between giving one as a gift or two as a gift.

 Her strength is safe!

Qin Yao thought to herself that you know the market quite well.

Since people in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly, Qin Yao asked directly: "What's the price?"

 Liu Dafu: “The price of friendship.”

Qin Yao lowered her eyelids and asked, "How many?"

Liu Dafu reached into his pocket and took it out again. A complete land deed was gently placed on the table, "Ten acres, ninety taels."

Qin Yao felt happy and reached out to get it, but Liu Dafu suddenly pressed down the Tian Deed and added hurriedly:

“You have to ensure that my Liu Li walks into the examination room intact and returns home safely.”

“You must not favor one over the other. I only care about the life and death of your Liu Ji, but not the life and safety of my Liu Li.”

Qin Yao took his hand away from the land deed, held up the small land deed and looked at it again and again to confirm that it was genuine and correct. She smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry when I do things. It's safe."

After saying that, he returned the land deed to him and said, "I will send the children to school tomorrow. Let's go to the county town and change the household head on the land deed."

The land transaction had to be registered with the government, but Liu Dafu readily agreed.

 The two looked at each other and smiled, both satisfied.

After sending Liu Dafu away, Qin Yao closed the door. When she turned around, four brothers and sisters appeared in front of her in a row according to height.

Dalang asked in disbelief: "Aunt Yao, Master Fu is willing to sell the land to us?"

Erlang was thinking about the price he just heard, "Is it ninety-two acres? Only ninety-two acres per acre?"

Saburo and Si Niang only cared about one thing. They frowned with identical furry brows and asked: "A Niang, are you going to be away for a long time again?"

Qin Yao answered the first two questions one by one, then shrugged with a smile, "Yeah, I'm going on a long trip."

"Your father is going to Fucheng to take the main examination. The journey is long and may be dangerous, so I have to send him there."

 Liu Dafu's guess was not wrong. She indeed planned to personally **** Liu Ji to Fucheng.

 Liu Ji is the stock she invested in. Before the cost is recovered, she still needs to maintain it.

The twins immediately hugged one of Qin Yao's arms, saying they didn't want her to be away for so long.

But I also know that Dad’s affairs are very important. If one of them can get a big kiss from Qin Yao, it will be fine.

Qin Yao picked up Siniang with one hand and Sanlang with the other, took them to the children's room and coaxed them to sleep.

Two little ones were leaning on A Niang's shoulders, listening to her talk about a "magic novel" about a mutant tiger fighting a giant piranha at night.

 Speaking of the gloomy and **** place, Dalang and Erlang who were listening stiffened up and their eyes widened.

 Can't sleep, can't sleep at all!
