MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 23 Don't dare to move at all
Chapter 23 Don’t dare to move at all
This bad feeling started when I entered the village and met the first group of villagers.
They were surprised at first when they saw her car full of goods, but because they were not familiar with each other, they did not talk to each other.
But the hesitant behavior gave Qin Yao a bad feeling.
Later, I drove past the village well. During the leisurely time before the meal, there was no one here.
Sister-in-law Zhou came over from the fields in the north with a basket of freshly picked vegetables. When she saw Qin Yao, she was surprised at first, and then called her:
“Brother and sister, where have you been these days? Where did your cart full of food come from? Forget it, you’d better go home and have a look. Your Liu Laosan is back!”
Liu Laosan is back?
Shall we return alive or dead?
As the words came to her lips, Qin Yao felt that it was inappropriate to ask the question from her own mouth. She nodded to Sister-in-law Zhou, turned around and urged the coachman to hurry up, and strode towards home.
Before I got home, I just arrived at the river and was about to cross the bridge when I saw people crowding in front of the thatched house on the hillside.
Among them were people from the Liu family's old house. The three brothers, Old Man Liu and Liu Bai, were talking to someone. Sentences such as "Please give me a few days of grace" and "We will definitely find a way to compensate you" came vaguely.
Qin Yao's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she had the urge to turn around and leave.
However, it was too late. Sister-in-law He saw her at a glance and shouted in surprise:
“Brother and sister, you are finally back!”
A group of people at the door of the house all looked towards the bridge.
A lane separated in the crowd, and Lin Erbao's familiar face appeared again.
Qin Yao tightened the knife in her hand, told the driver not to be afraid, and waited where she was. She walked forward alone and asked unhappily:
“Why are you here again?”
He was full of murderous intent and seemed dissatisfied that Lin Erbao actually sent Liu Ji back alive.
Yes, Liu Ji is still alive.
He was in a half-dead state, wrapped in torn linen, covered in bruises, and fell to the ground unconscious.
Especially that handsome face that he was so proud of, now it was so miserable.
The four Dalang brothers and sisters were surrounding him to wake him up. When they saw Qin Yao appearing, their eyes lit up. Almost subconsciously, they threw Liu Ji away and ran towards Qin Yao.
“Aniang!”
"Aunt."
The four brothers and sisters came behind her and looked at her brand new clothes and the crowded oxcarts on the bridge. They knew that she must have hunted prey and were overjoyed.
Facing the four children, Qin Yao's expression softened slightly. She touched the head of each one and said in a gentle voice: "Da Lang Er Lang, you lead your younger brothers and sisters into the house."
The four brothers and sister looked hesitantly at the man lying on the ground. Qin Yao said again, "Go in, I'm here."
Dalang took a deep look at Qin Yao, as if to make sure that she would take care of the man on the ground. He paused for a few seconds before obediently leading his younger siblings into the house.
As soon as the four brothers and sisters closed the door, Qin Yao raised the knife in her hand and put it on Lin Erbao's neck as fast as the wind.
“Hoo!”
The surrounding villagers and the Liu family were so frightened by her actions that they all took a breath.
The brothers brought by Lin Erbao immediately raised their weapons and surrounded Qin Yao, wanting to take action.
“I will kill anyone who dares to touch him!” Qin Yao shouted.
A chill came from the blade on his neck, and the smell of blood on the handle penetrated the tip of his nose. Goosebumps arose on Lin Erbao's face, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Stop it! Don't move!" Then, he looked at Qin Yao coldly, "Ms. Qin, what do you mean?"
Qin Yao glanced at the half-dead man on the ground and said, "I would like to ask you what you mean first."
Said, don't send her to work, what is this now?
Lin Erbao was also a little angry, "Liu Laosan is right, you are indeed a vicious woman. I kindly sent her back to you alive. It's okay if you are not grateful, but you actually want to kill me!"
“Ha~” Qin Yao smiled, “If you send the person back, what about the debt? Is it written off in one go?”
“Of course it’s impossible!” Lin Erbao responded sternly without even thinking about it.
Qin Yao's eyes narrowed dangerously. At this moment, her murderous intention was strong and she really wanted the lives of Lin Erbao and others.
Lin Erbao was stared at by her and felt chilled in his heart. He really didn't expect that there was such a fierce woman in Liu Laosan's family.
The last time he saw Qin Yao, he thought she was a powerful and shrewd woman. Only today did he realize that this woman's origins were not simple. She was actually good at martial arts, and her martial arts skills were superb.
If he had known earlier, he would not have made this trip in person today.
But just when he wanted to persuade Qin Yao not to be impulsive, she actually put away the knife and stretched out her hand.
Lin Erbao was stunned by her, and subconsciously touched his neck. His neck was still there and there was no blood. He breathed a long sigh of relief and asked blankly: "What are you doing?"
“IOU.”
Lin Erbao hurriedly waved away the brothers who wanted to take the opportunity to attack Qin Yao, without even looking to see if their three-legged cat skills were enough for this shrew.
He glanced at Qin Yao many times and slowly took out the IOU he had just shown to Old Man Liu and others.
There are two lines of characters written crookedly on the IOU, which are Liu Ji's handwriting.
When he was young, Old Man Liu thought that the master in the school could educate this rebellious son well, so the whole family tightened their belts and forced him to go to school for two years, where he learned a few strokes of dog crawling.
It says that Liu Ji borrowed twenty-two taels of silver from Lin Erbao and agreed to repay the principal with interest in two months. If the loan is not repaid by the due date, one tael of interest will be calculated for each day in arrears.
The date of signature is July 30th.
It is now October 28th, 28 days past the due date, and I have to pay fifty taels of principal with interest.
Qin Yao couldn't help but curse after seeing this number, "Fuck!"
It happens to be the same as the fifty taels of fixed deposit she has reserved. How about doing this?
Old Han Liu's family was busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, relying on the output of the fields and the money saved by the women in the family weaving, and they could only save two or three taels of silver at most.
This debt is an unimaginable astronomical sum for any villager in Liujia Village.
If Liu Ji hadn't been lying on the ground covered in bruises, Old Man Liu would have wanted to kick this traitor to death with his own hands.
Qin Yao was no exception. Her fists were tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, and her back molars were grinding loudly, which sounded very scary.
Lin Erbao quickly snatched back the IOU, took two steps back, and said helplessly:
“Our money doesn’t fall from the sky. My brothers and I have an old father and mother at home, a wife and children at the bottom, and the whole family depends on us to live. If we don’t get this money back, we will not be able to live well.”
This is true, but it seems that Qin Yao bullied him.
Sister-in-law He and Sister-in-law Qiu looked at the ox carts loaded with goods on the bridge, and wanted to ask Qin Yao if she had gained a lot from her trip to the mountains, and maybe they could use it to pay off their debts.
But before he could open his mouth, Old Man Liu and Mrs. Zhang stared back.
Qin Yao took a deep breath. This breath could not be controlled, and she kicked the man lying on the ground on the butt!
The man's body trembled slightly, his eyes were closed tightly, he didn't dare to move, he didn't dare to move at all!
