MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 4 Restless chickens and dogs

Chapter 4 The chicken and the dog are restless

“Brother, what should we do?” several brothers asked Lin Erbao in a low voice.

Lin Erbao looked at Qin Yao deeply, "I, are we really going to take this person away?!"

Qin Yao nodded: "Take it away, I will never stop you."

 Lin Erbao and the others: "."

Lin Erbao was still a little wary when he thought about the moment he was teased by Qin Yao. He didn't want to be known as a bully of women and children, so he simply changed his mind.

Alright, you and your wife can sing the double act here. I want to see who is crying!

"take away!"

Lin Erbao gave the order, and several brothers immediately picked up Liu Ji who was tied into a rice dumpling on the ground and carried him away.

 After walking a few steps, he looked back to see what Qin Yao's expression was.

 It turned out that Qin Yao was not moved at all.

This is the first time Lin Erbao has encountered this kind of thing in his life. People say that a couple can be kind to each other for a hundred nights. Why is it that this couple has no affection at all?

There are four Liu family dolls, but none of them came to stop him. How much does Liu Laosan deserve to be disliked!

Watching Lin Erbao and his party carrying the struggling Liu Ji away, Liu Dalang looked at his stepmother in front of him and whispered:

“You just want to scare my dad, you don’t really want Lin Erbao and the others to kill him, right?”

  Qin Yao: "." No, I am serious.

 Four children: “.”

Seeing Qin Yao disperse the villagers watching the show, she picked up a **** and two bags of unknown things and walked into the house.

The four Liu brothers and sisters looked at each other, and then the three brothers shouted "Dad!" and chased like crazy in the direction where Lin Erbao and others disappeared.

 Unfortunately, I was too weak. I didn’t even run two steps before my legs became weak from exhaustion and I felt dizzy. I stopped under an old tree at the head of the village.

After a while, they all floated back in despair. Looking at Qin Yao's busy back, they hesitated and did not dare to speak.

Then came the four old men Liu and his son who were panting and had just hurried back from the fields.

　　The world has been settled for the first time, and the troubled times have just passed.

 The current population of Shengguo is sparse, so farmers are allocated a lot of land, which is spread out among their heads. Each adult man is given fifty acres, and each adult woman is given twenty acres.

 Of course, taxes also increased.

The villagers of Liujia Village plant millet in spring and wheat in autumn. They work in the fields all year round, but the output is not much. With such hard work, they can barely sustain a family.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Old Man Liu did not dare to be idle, so he took his three sons to work in the fields before dawn.

 The women at home were not free either. Old man Liu's step-wife Zhang took her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law to clean up the house and then went to the vegetable field.

 The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law plan to harvest another crop of vegetables before winter comes so that they can store them for the winter.

When Liu Ji was in a commotion, there was only an eight-year-old child looking after the house in the Liu family's old house.

When the villagers who came to report the news saw the incident, they quickly asked the child to call his uncles back, saying that his third uncle was about to be beaten to death by debt collectors.

This kid had heard his grandparents talk about his third uncle's deeds and hated him very much. But knowing that he was going to be beaten to death, he didn't care about hating him anymore. He hurriedly locked the door of the house and went to the fields to look for the adults in the family.

The mountain road is far away. When the baby sent the news and Old Man Liu rushed over with his three sons, the people in front of Liu Ji's house had already been dispersed by Qin Yao.

　　Not seeing Liu Ji, only seeing the four Dalang brothers and sisters standing in the courtyard, trembling. Old man Liu felt a palpitation in his heart - he had an unknown premonition.

"Da Lang, where is your father?" Liu Ji's eldest brother Liu Bai saw that his father had opened his mouth for a long time without asking a question, so he couldn't wait any longer and asked first.

Dalang looked at his grandfather and uncles in front of him, and then at Qin Yao in the room. He didn't know how to speak for a while.

Could it be said that the stepmother asked the debt collector to take her father and kill him to pay off the debt?

Seeing that the four brothers and sisters were silent and just looking into the house, Old Man Liu waved his hand and the two men walked towards the door of the house.

The thatched house that Liu Ji's family lives in doesn't even have an earthen wall, so they just use river mud to make it into a wall.

This kind of house has two small rooms. The kitchen is in the open air. It is just a stove built with stones. There is a pot on the stove and an empty vat next to the stove. There is not even a fenced yard, so you can see it at a glance.

 Old man Liu and his son arrived in front of Qin Yao within two steps.

 Lao San brought back this new daughter-in-law, whom Old Man Liu had met once.

Three days ago, Liu Ji, a shameless man, was lying in the yard of his old house, saying that he was going to the county town to pick up his wife. He 'borrowed' ten cents, used the money to rent an ox cart from the wealthy man Wang's house next door, and rushed to the county town. The person picked it up.

Liu Ji did not forget that his father was an elder in the family. He took his new daughter-in-law to the old house and kowtowed to Old Man Liu.

Yao Niang came here penniless and was wearing old clothes given by others. She was skinny.

At that time, Mrs. Zhang's step-mother-in-law shook her head. Her small body had suffered a lot, and she didn't know if she could be brought back to life by someone like Liu Ji.

But that face looks very good, no wonder Liu Ji insisted on renting an oxcart to bring this pretty lady back.

“Dad, eldest brother, second brother, and uncle.” Qin Yao called each one.

The Liu brothers nodded to her politely.

Dad Liu finally let out the breath he was holding and asked with a straight face: "Where's that bastard, the third child?"

Qin Yao first put the **** in her hand behind the door. This is the most valuable item in the house now.

He replied calmly: "I've paid off my debt."

Liu Ji's second brother Liu Zhong asked: "He who has a penny in his hand will spend it to buy half a plate of peanuts. What can he use to pay off his debt?"

Qin Yao raised her eyes, looked at the four men in front of her, and said flatly: "If you don't have money, pay with your life."

 Father and son were shocked. What does this mean?

Qin Yao had no intention of explaining, and just continued: "You can redeem him if you want. You can use the money to redeem him yourself. I don't have a penny anyway."

　　What kind of situation this family is in can be seen clearly at a glance. Old man Liu and the other four could not refute her words and choked.

“Dad, let’s go home and eat first. After taking a break at noon, we have to go to the fields in the afternoon. Do we really need the money to redeem that bastard? Our family doesn’t have any money. Dad, please wake up!”

Liu Fei, the fourth son of the Liu family, who was standing at the end, spoke angrily to persuade.

He has just turned fourteen this year and is the youngest in the family. He is the second child of Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang. His brothers are many years older than him and they all give way to him, so he is also the most angry.

He didn’t believe that Qin Yao, the bride, was really willing to care whether her husband lived or died. Therefore, serious ladies are not in a hurry. Why are they anxious? My family has helped me enough!

The sons of the Liu family were named according to the ranking of their brothers and uncle Ji. Liu Ji ranked third. Logically speaking, he should be named Uncle Liu. However, after giving birth to three sons in a row, Old Man Liu no longer wanted any more sons, so he took the name Ji to express his feelings. Stop it.

Who would have thought that later Liu Ji’s biological mother died of illness, Old Man Liu married Mr. Zhang, and the two actually gave birth to another son.

 Old man Liu looked at the boy in this family, feeling sad, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had already given birth, so how could he drown to death?

Of his four sons, the eldest and second are filial and hard-working. Even the youngest, the fourth, although he usually likes to compete for small profits, has been working in the fields with his father and brothers since he was eight years old.

Only the third child is a rebellious child. He has been disobedient since he was a child. If you ask him to go east, he will go west. If you ask him to stand still, he will insist on climbing a tree!
