After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields

Chapter 65 Renting land

 After a series of price reductions, in the end, after three and a half days of hard work, only 50 yuan was paid into the account, and there were no further orders.

 Qin Yao is in ruins.

It is very foolish to try to change people's inherent thinking.

 So, she chose to let herself go.

Qin Yao asked Liu Ji to find a box at home that could hold copper coins and throw it in the water mill.

Hung a small figure of the water mill manual on the door, set a charging standard of one penny per hour, and opened the water mill 24 hours a day.

As for Bangmo’s home delivery service, let me say the important thing three times: No! No! No!

Liu Gong thought Qin Yao was embarrassed to speak, so he confirmed again: "Does the third sister-in-law only need to rent ten acres?"

"It's just Miss Qin that you want to use, so the rent is not required. You can kindly feed it two handfuls of grass, so as not to let the cow starve."

Liu Ji immediately became nervous and asked weakly: "Going to rent land?"

He also said that if Qin Yao wants to use it, he should lend it to her family first.

“Carpenter Liu has good craftsmanship and fair prices. You can ask him to buy a wheelchair and crutches, which will make daily mobility easier.”

His yard is full of silkworm-raising racks, and his two daughters-in-law are famous throughout the country for their skill in weaving brocades.

The little grandson also said happily, "The third uncle is not a good person, but the third aunt is a good person. When the hens hatch out the chicks, let's give two to the third aunt, shall we, grandma?"

But she underestimated how grateful Liu Gong's family was to her. If she hadn't arrived in time that day, the mother and daughter would have been humiliated, and their brother would have died.

The little grandson also looked at the cash box and murmured, "Give Third Aunt two more chickens. She is kind-hearted and will definitely not care about us."

Qin Yao thought about it and decided that twenty acres was indeed the safest, but she had a clear understanding of her and Liu Ji's farming abilities, so she would definitely not be able to grow it.

The matter was resolved smoothly, Qin Yao stood up and left.

Although an egg can be sold for a penny, it is not that valuable in the village.

Liu Ji knew that he was connected to her fate. If she wanted to go to the ground, he would not be able to escape. He could only comfort himself. There is still a long way to go in life, so be strong!

 When I arrived at Liu Dafu's house, he found that the others were not there, so he personally transported the grain to the grain store in the town to sell it.

“It just so happens that this year there are still one hundred acres of fertile land in the east that are not allowed to be released. Third sister-in-law, how many acres do you want to rent?” Liu Gong’s tone was serious, with a hint of embarrassment still on his face.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, "You don't know?"

 In this case, renting less land and going out to find work in your free time will not be a problem to maintain your life.

 Sure enough, after choosing to make a mistake, the whole person's mentality calmed down.

Today is an important time for spring plowing. He and his two younger brothers have been injured and cannot go to the fields, so almost most of them have to be rented out. People in the village are waiting to rent, and good land has to be snatched.

 You can use it as much as you like, if you don’t want it, just use it yourself!

 It is a bit depressing when the business fails halfway before starting a business.

After breakfast, the daughter-in-law of the eldest and second son went to the fields to collect the first mulberry leaves after the morning dew to raise silkworms.

This is actually a mutually beneficial thing. If the grain production in the fields increases, Liu Dafu's family will also be able to get more grain.

Grandma Wang smiled and nodded, but when she turned around and saw the money box placed in the corner of the pavilion, she looked apologetic again.

Qin Yao nodded, if he didn’t rent, it would be too late for spring plowing.

Qin Yao picked up four pieces, wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them aside. She did not move the rest and took them home to serve as snacks for Siniang and the others. Seeing that mother and daughter were having difficulty turning their three sons over, they didn't take any precautions for both men and women, so they helped and helped the eldest, second and second brothers to sit on the chairs in the main room.

When going out, Qin Yao saw Granny Wang and her grandson milling in the water mill by the river. Seeing that the millstone could rotate without manpower and grinding the wheat into fine pieces, the grandma and grandson laughed in surprise. stand up.

However, the weaving bed frame alone is larger than an average person's room. This is no longer a tool that ordinary people have access to.

But before leaving, he saw Brother Liu Gong moving with difficulty and reminded him:

Qin Yao agreed and told him when he made the choice later.

They only know the sticks used by the elderly, which can't hold them up.

Qin Yao walked across the bridge, and her grandfather and grandson, who were focused on the water, didn't notice her relieved smile at all.

 Because this means that the land still has to be rented.

“Ten acres.” After Qin Yao said it, she was a little worried that the other party would refuse because her rent was too small.

The legs of Liu Dafu's three sons were all broken by horse bandits. Fortunately, Dr. Liu knew how to set bones, and they were fixed with boards. It took three months before they could get out of bed.

As a result, her mother-in-law asked her blankly, what is a wheelchair? What is a cane?

But seeing that Qin Yao was such a generous woman, he didn't feel at ease at all. The embarrassment he felt when he was almost half-carried out by the other party just now dissipated most of it.

 “I’m going to Liu Dafu’s house.” Qin Yao said.

 Speaking of which, there is another funny thing. Liu Ji sold all the land in his family, and the person who bought it was Liu Dafu. The ten acres of fertile land next to the river that were allocated to Qin Yao this time belonged to Liu Ji's family.

“By the way, after you finish plowing your own land, can you lend us your cattle for two days?” Qin Yao asked tentatively.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "This is a small matter. My family has a farm tool room, and tenants can borrow the farm tools in it. As long as they are not damaged and returned in time after use, it will be fine."

 After that, everything happens as it happens.

Qin Yao nodded firmly.

 There are only his wife and daughter at home, and they are taking care of three sons who are sick in bed.

The water mill is not without any income. In the future, you should be able to earn 200 cash a month, which can be used as money to buy vegetables.

Even though one acre of land only yields twenty or thirty kilograms, the sum of one hundred and two hundred acres is still a lot of money.

Qin Yao held her head, farming was really tough. She was not so tired even when she went out to kill mutated zombies in the city.

Liu Gong said: "Anyway, the third brother is familiar with the land. Since my legs and feet are inconvenient, I won't go with you to choose the land. If you like it, let me know and I will make a note of it to avoid renting it to others by mistake."

“Our family has two cows and one mule. The mule was taken away by his father to pull grain. We keep one of the two cows for our own farming land. If the tenant wants to borrow the other cow, he only needs to pay some rent.”

Grandma Wang's low sigh came over, "Thanks to Madam Qin for the water mill, otherwise we would have to ask someone to help grind the mill again."

 The money box was for collecting copper coins, but she only put an egg on the money box.

Seeing Qin Yao coming over, the mother and daughter were very excited for a while. They invited her to come into the room and sit down. They brought tea and put a stack of pastries with unknown names on them, asking Qin Yao to be welcome and take them if you want.

 In the past, when Liu Dafu went out, his eldest son Liu Gong took care of everything at home. Now Qin Yao wants to rent land, so she tells him the same thing.

  Mother and son all shook their heads.

"Do you have paper and pen? I'll draw it and you can take it to Carpenter Liu. He can understand the picture I drew." Qin Yao said.
