MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 511 What if the dream comes true?
“It’s getting so late, and it’s inconvenient to go back to the city. If you don’t mind, would you like to stay at my house for one night?”
Qin Yao, who had taken the money, looked completely different from the previous one. She shouldered the big knife and smiled so cheerfully.
If it weren't for Wang Jin who could still feel the residual chill on his neck, he would have doubted whether his memory was biased.
“No, it’s still too late to go back now.” Wang Jin refused, blew the whistle, called the horse over and prepared to leave.
Qin Yao shrugged and didn't hesitate. Anyway, she was just being polite.
Looking at Wang Jin with a pained face, Qin Yao said jokingly: "My lord, if you hadn't left me alone and ran away first, how could we still be in this situation now? Give me one hundred and two hundred taels." That’s enough, after all, it’s not a long journey.”
Wang Jin paused as he mounted his horse, then turned around and said with excitement, "Then give me back the excess."
Qin Yao's smile disappeared instantly, "Tell me how you want to die?"
"Pretend I didn't say what I just said." Wang Jin had a strong desire to survive. He got on his horse and told her to meet her outside Kaiyang County the next morning. He clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye!"
In the blink of an eye, both people and horses disappeared from Qin Yao's sight.
"Ha~" Qin Yao shook her head in a funny way, picked up her two-meter sword, and went home to sleep with satisfaction.
Silver is indeed a good thing, she is not angry at all now~
After a dreamless night, Qin Yao had a good sleep and drove the children to school in high spirits.
Erlang was about to climb onto the carriage to go to school. Qin Yao checked the bruises on his neck again and again to make sure it was nothing serious and let him get on the carriage.
Si Niang stayed at home alone, keeping an eye on Mr. Li and waiting for delicious food. After eating and drinking, she asked Xiao Laifu to feed the chickens together. She wished she could take a few more days off.
Qin Yao left the Ding clan without returning to the village first. After thinking about it, she went directly to the county town.
Wang Jin said that there are many eyes and ears in the county recently, and Qin Yao felt it as soon as he entered the city.
There are those selling straw sandals on the street, some selling vegetables at the city gate, and some selling trinkets that no one cares about at all along with the crowd.
Having not had a meal at a restaurant for a long time, Qin Yao paid extra for the carriage and horse cleaning fee, drove the carriage into the city, parked at the back door of Shopkeeper Fan's restaurant, walked into the lobby, and ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes.
"We are a rare visitor!" Shopkeeper Fan came over as soon as he was free.
Qin Yao stood up and bowed, and invited him to sit down and have something to eat. Shopkeeper Fan waved his hand and pointed at the more and more guests in the lobby, "It's almost noon, and it's a busy time. I'll come over and have a few words with you." Just say it and leave.”
As he spoke, he poured Qin Yao a cup of tea and asked her how it felt to be the village chief.
Qin Yao nodded, "Not bad."
While taking the tea, she whispered a few words into Shopkeeper Fan's ear. Shopkeeper Fan opened his eyes wide and looked at her in surprise before nodding hesitantly.
“You wait.” Patting Qin Yao on the shoulder and indicating for her to eat first, Shopkeeper Fan turned around and went to the back hall, called his trustworthy boy and sent him out.
By the time Qin Yao had finished eating, a donkey cart came to the back door of the restaurant. The cart was filled with meat and vegetables purchased by the restaurant.
The driver of the carriage was wearing a bamboo hat and linen, looking like a farm man.
But if you observe carefully, you can find that this farmer man has no muddy smell at all.
There was a knock at the back door, and the boy opened the door, lowered the threshold, and let the donkey cart delivering food in.
The donkey cart loaded with meat and vegetables was slightly heavy and slowly drove into the backyard.
Qin Yao's carriage is still parked in the courtyard. The black gold luxury carriage that was obtained from Wang Mawu is very recognizable.
"Just put the vegetables by the kitchen door." The lobby was very busy. After explaining, the boy trotted away, leaving only the driver delivering the vegetables in the backyard.
The driver looked at the food on the cart and looked like he didn’t know what to do.
"Bring your things to my car." Qin Yao suddenly appeared, startling the driver. When he saw it was her, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted before taking action.
The meat and vegetables were quickly unloaded, revealing a large wooden box hidden underneath.
The driver used a lot of strength and it was very difficult to move it.
Qin Yao couldn't stand it any longer, so she stepped forward to lend a hand, and together they finally put the wooden box into the carriage.
Qin Yao tapped the lock on the wooden box with her fingertips and asked tentatively: "What is in here? It's actually locked."
What about trust between people?
Wang Jin said: Not at all!
The driver shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is, but when the goods were delivered, I left first."
With a polite nod to Qin Yao, the driver turned around and got on the donkey cart and left.
There were footsteps coming from behind. Qin Yao had to temporarily put away her curiosity, locked the carriage door, and returned to the lobby.
“Have you eaten yet?” Shopkeeper Fan asked with a smile.
Qin Yao nodded, thanked him for his help, and gave him an extra five taels of silver when he paid.
Shopkeeper Fan was overjoyed, but he was not polite to her and accepted it.
“Next time, come over during your free time. Let’s have a drink and catch up on old times.” Shopkeeper Fan said enthusiastically.
Qin Yao agreed, drove away from the back door of the restaurant, left the county town, and returned to the village at noon.
It was agreed that Wang Jin agreed to leave tomorrow morning. This time it might cost almost ten days. Qin Yao went home to put the heavy wooden box in the bedroom and began to arrange it.
Luggage and other matters are secondary. The main issues are transportation of children to and from school and other matters in the village.
Qin Yao first went to the clan leader and informed him that he would be away for a few days.
“Going to Fucheng again?” The patriarch thought to himself, which village chief likes to travel far away so much?
Qin Yao came well prepared and said seriously: "I went to Fucheng this time, actually, for our village."
The patriarch was a little unconvinced: "For our village?"
“Yes, that’s right, for all the villagers of Liujia Village!” Qin Yao took out the exquisite lady’s box newly developed by the stationery factory’s special team.
“I went to Fucheng this time to successfully sell this lady’s box and raise funds for the industrial upgrading of our village.”
The patriarch was a little confused, "What?"
Qin Yao explained: "It's like this. If I can get the order for the lady's box when I go to Fucheng this time, I will let the whole village raise funds to invest in the stationery factory and promote a comprehensive upgrade of the entire stationery factory."
“From the original rough to the refined, abandon the low-cost and low-yield route, adopt the high-cost and high-yield high-precision route, and create a core economic pillar exclusive to Liujiacun!”
Qin Yao concluded very seriously and solemnly: "At that time, people in our village will be able to get dividends just by sitting. Coupled with the output of the fields, we will be able to achieve a comprehensive well-off society in less than two years."
The patriarch knows the concept of well-off society.
Qin Yao once told them that they can have enough to eat, can wear clothes, and the children can go to school and no longer have to worry about the most basic survival.
However, they don’t dare to eat openly now. Will they really be able to do it in two years?
But seeing Qin Yao's determined look, the patriarch is willing to be deceived by her. What if his dream comes true?
Hence he slapped his thigh and said, "Village chief, don't worry, I'm still in the village!"
