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

Hearing this tone, the village chief knew that she had made a lot of money selling grain before, and was a little surprised and a little relieved.

Knowing that Qin Yao generally looks down on them, he won't introduce them to the village chiefs on the roadside now.

When they entered the boundary of Jinshi Town, the village chief immediately pointed to the large area at the foot of the mountain to the east, "Yao Niang, look over there. It's next to Dingjiazhuang. It has more than 100 acres and two cabins. , where you can put farm tools and other things on weekdays, and you can also leave someone to keep an eye on it.”

Qin Yao raised her head and took a cursory glance. All she could see was the gray-black land, which looked fat at first glance. She quickly asked Awang to drive over and take a closer look.

The transportation here is also very convenient, there is a trail for a carriage leading directly to the door of the cabin.

These two small rooms are not big, but they are used to store farm tools, and they are enough to accommodate one or two people.

Behind the house is the one hundred acres of land the village chief mentioned.

Twenty acres of gently sloping land and seventy acres of paddy fields are planted with sorghum and rice. The land is fertile to the naked eye.

Next to the trail, there is a half-meter-wide water diversion ditch, which is very convenient for collecting water.

Knowing that the village chief would not tell her about this small farm for no reason, Qin Yao asked tentatively: "Is the owner of this land going to take action?"

The village chief smiled like you guessed it, and explained: "This land belongs to a scholar from the Ding family. I heard that he failed the college entrance examination this year. He learned from the pain and plans to move his family to Fucheng in order to study."

Not many people know this news, but after all, it is a member of the Ding family. The best option is to sell it directly to the clan members. Maybe it has already been sold.

The village chief saw that Qin Yao was interested and asked her to find out on her own.

Qin Yao was a little worried about whether her wallet would be enough to buy this small farm. She tentatively asked the price and heard the village chief say: "Maybe six to seven hundred taels of silver."

If Old Man Liu heard about this money, he would scream to God! It is simply not something that ordinary people would dare to think about.

Qin Yao also took a breath. She now has three hundred and seventy taels of silver in her hand, which is still half short.

But if you wait for the final payment from Fulong Commercial Bank to be settled, you will have enough money in hand.

But it's not even July yet, and the final payment won't be available until September at the earliest, so it's long overdue.

Qin Yao could only reluctantly take a few more glances at this small farm that made her heart beat. Then she turned around and said, "Let's go, village chief. The fate has not come yet."

The village chief laughed and said, "You girl, you talk very interestingly. Why is there no fate? But I can see that you, girl, have a big heart and don't like ordinary things now. So, I will pay attention to you." Wait, I’ll ask the chief when the time comes, and if there’s a good Zhuangzi, I’ll tell you right away.”

A smile instantly bloomed on Qin Yao's face, "I'll trouble you then!"

"Don't just talk about it." The village chief pointed to the street in the town deliberately, "Just remember to treat me to a nice drink when the time comes!"

"This is easy to say, no need to wait, let's drink today!" Qin Yao immediately asked Awang to drive the car to the town, scaring the village chief and quickly grabbed Awang, "Just kidding, stop quickly, I saw Xiahe Village The coachman!"

He won't wait for the children here with them, lest he lose half his life on the way back.

Qin Yao funnyly put the village chief on the driver's ox cart, told the driver to walk more carefully, watched the ox cart go away, and asked Awang to continue to the town.

The village chief didn't want it, but Qin Yao bought the wine anyway, picked up the children after school, stuffed their ears with cotton and returned to the village. When she saw Liu Qi who was going home after work, she gave him two kilograms of wine and asked him to take it to his home.

Liu Qi looked confused, but before she could ask, the carriage was already cheeping toward the village.

After putting Liu Jinbao down, Erlang stopped talking.

Erlang's mouth stopped, Sanlang's and Si Niang's mouth also stopped, and Qin Yao's ears were finally at peace.

In a blink of an eye, July has arrived, and the temperature has hit a new high.

Among the refugees who were building roads on the way into the village, the men took off their shirts one by one and worked shirtless, and their backs were tanned.

The women set up a shed on the roadside and built a stove on the spot. They cleaned up the ingredients purchased from the village and prepared meals for the people who worked.

The road was built from the entrance of the village all the way to Xiahe Village, and the sheds were also moved all the way to Xiahe Village, just to save some time on eating and do more work.

Liu Dafu was also convinced by these people from Huangque Town. They worked really hard and didn't cheat at all. He worked from early in the morning until the sun went down every day. He looked tired, but these people were happy when they came back from work. Peaceful.

They used so much force that the villagers in Liujia Village felt embarrassed. After getting the consent of the villagers, Liu Dafu came to Qin Yao to discuss and planned to pay some wages to these people from Huangque Town.

Qin Yao was wearing a straw hat and squatting in her melon field to look at her melons. Liu Dafu stood behind her and talked for a long time without seeing any reaction from her. He couldn't help but asked again in an aggravated tone:

"I talked about wages, what do you think?"

Only then did Qin Yao react, turning her head to look at him. The wide brim of the straw hat covered most of her face, and only a sunburned chin could be seen.

"You want me to pay?"

She asked so directly that Liu Dafu choked and paused for three seconds before saying, "You said it before. If there is not enough money in the future, it will go to the stationery factory."

Qin Yao: "Am I the only one going out?"

Liu Dafu choked again.

The air seemed stagnant for half a minute.

Liu Dafu gritted his teeth and said: "The village has also gone out, and everyone has gone out together, but the autumn harvest hasn't started yet, and I don't have any money."

Qin Yao: "I can help with the cushioning first, and then you can pay me back with grain after the autumn harvest."

Liu Dafu gritted his teeth: "Okay!" He turned around and started to leave.

The mouth under the straw hat opened wide, "Don't leave in a hurry."

Liu Dafu turned to look at her suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Qin Yao waved to him and patted the football-sized, emerald-green melon in front of her, "Please eat the melon."

Liu Dafu's heart trembled, were you sure he wasn't being asked to test the poison?

"Is this really edible?" he asked curiously.

Seeing Qin Yao looking like a treasure, she was a little curious.

It’s just that I’ve never seen a melon like this before, and it doesn’t look as delicious as other melons. It’s not green or white, and it has twisted patterns like loaches, which look like the markings on a poisonous snake.

At this moment, Qin Yao cruelly broke the melon vine, took the football-sized melon into her hands, and broke it with both hands. There was a "pop" sound, and the bright red flesh of the melon was exposed.

Liu Dafu was so frightened that he retreated to the ridge of the field and stepped on Qin Yao's two melons, which made her gasp in distress.

Fortunately, the melon was hard enough and was not trampled. However, Liu Dafu's foot slipped and he sat down on the field ridge in a very embarrassed state.

Qin Yao couldn't hold it back and laughed "hahaha".

"Why is this melon so red?" Liu Dafu forced himself to calm down and pointed at the watermelon in Qin Yao's hand and asked. (End of chapter)
