MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 587 Searching the village for a wife

Chapter 587 The whole village is looking for a wife

While the four brothers and sisters were still having fun in the courtyard doing winter training, their senior sister Yue was already sitting in front of the warm charcoal stove, eating the jujube slice cake baked for the master.

“Madam, it’s just baked, crispy and crispy.” Liu Ji pinched a piece of freshly baked jujube slice cake with his fingertips and handed it to Qin Yao’s mouth.

Qin Yao had just eaten several pieces and was a little tired of it. She tilted her head and motioned for him to take it away and not block her from reading the letter.

 “Take one more bite.” Liu Ji persisted, as if Qin Yao had one more bite and he would be happy and become an immortal.

Qin Yao glanced at him suspiciously, and Liu Ji fanned his eyelashes like small brushes, aggrieved, "I worked so hard to bake it, and now it's the time to crisp it up."

Qin Yao took a deep breath, lowered her head reluctantly, took a small bite, and immediately took Liu Ji's hand away, "No, you can eat it yourself!"

 Liu Ji: "Okay."

Picked up the piece she pushed back, put it into his mouth naturally, chewed it with big mouthfuls, and continued to hum a tune he learned from somewhere, while baking other jujube cakes.

Seeing that Yin Le had already finished what she had in hand, he generously gave her another piece. The rest was baked and put on a plate, and they would be taken to the children at home later.

He had no choice but to say something casually, and Li made so many jujube cakes. If he didn't finish them quickly, when the lady came to her senses, she would scold him again.

Qin Yao smelled the sweet aroma of jujube cakes that filled the room, calmed down, and continued to read the letter Liu Fei sent from the capital.

In the letter, Liu Fei said that he had completed the two tasks assigned by her.

 The endorsement fee has been successfully sent to the princess's mansion, and the location of the Lady's Box counter store has been decided. Now all that remains is the store decoration.

In order not to delay the opening of the store, he will not come back during the Chinese New Year. He asked Qin Yao to inform everyone in the old house so that his parents and brothers would not have to wait for him.

There is also money for a hundred ladies' boxes newly delivered to the capital, which have been sent to Fucheng on the cargo ship of Fulong Trading Company. Shopkeeper Jiang Wen will personally deliver the money to Qin Yao soon.

At the end of the letter, Liu Fei said that he had left an extra thousand taels of silver in the capital for emergencies, and asked his third sister-in-law not to blame him for making arbitrary decisions.

Liu Ji came over at some point, and his eyes widened when he saw this sentence, "Fourth Brother, you are so courageous!"

 Secretly he raised his eyes to observe Qin Yao's expression. She was still smiling?

 Liu Ji whispered quietly, but he didn't say who was unbalanced!

After reading the letter, Qin Yao felt very happy.

 Liu Fei is quite capable. It is not easy for her to complete these two tasks well.

　　If the matter of sending endorsement fees to the princess's mansion is not handled well, not only will the money not be sent in, but lives will also be lost.

Just trying to find an upright name to send benefits to a big shot like the Princess, I don’t know how many counselors’ brain cells have to be wasted.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Yao asked Liu Ji to bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She read him and wrote a letter of encouragement and thanks to Liu Fei, asking the young man to get on with it.

On the day the letter was handed over to the convoy for delivery, Jiang Wen came to deliver the money.

 Because Liu Fei had already deducted the endorsement fee that was to be sent to the princess's house, plus counting the 1,000 taels he had temporarily transferred, Jiang Wen brought a total of 5,500 taels of silver notes.

 Excluding costs and various dividends, there are still four thousand taels left in Qin Yao's hands.

 All of a sudden, Qin Yao's silver taels had accumulated to 6,736 taels. He became a new upstart in Kaiyang County overnight.

With so much money, another person would be dazzled and dizzy. Qin Yao still didn't have much mood swings.

It was the end of the year, and money was still waiting to be settled everywhere. Jiang Wen didn't have much time to stay. The money was delivered, and matters related to the new products to be launched in the counter shop were finalized. He only stayed for one night and left early the next morning.

As soon as Jiang Wen left, Qin Yao also got busy, giving bonuses to workers, paying dividends to villagers, going to the county town to pay taxes, and also taking care of the remaining official duties accumulated in the village over the year.

When the land of one family was exchanged for that family, she not only had to testify on the spot, but also brought the exchanged land deeds to Li Zhengna and registered them in order to prepare for taxation in the coming year.

It’s the end of the year, and everyone is busy with things. It’s inevitable that there will be friction, and the village chief has to go over and mediate.

Or maybe the couple had a fight, and the old lady took someone else's chicken by mistake, which involved emotions and property. Qin Yao, the village chief, wanted to be split into two, and become a psychiatrist and a judge.

Qin Yao went out before dawn every day and came home after it was completely dark. Liu Ji didn't even know where she had breakfast and lunch. When dinner arrived in the evening, she searched for wives all over the village, which became a common phenomenon among the villagers. The greatest fun of the day.

When it gets dark and they see Liu Ji still wandering around the village, the villagers will jokingly ask: "Master Juren, are you looking for your village chief to go home for dinner again?"

Liu Ji had a cold face and snorted arrogantly, not bothering to respond.

If you encounter someone who is teasing you too much, just pull out the sole plate and hit them with the sole of your shoe to make them realize that even if Liu Saner becomes a Juren, he is still the same rogue, and they will shut up immediately.

“Then let’s discuss it after the new year. Village chief, please walk slowly on the road.”

Qin Yao nodded and came out of Liu Dafu's house. Everything had been arranged. Thinking that she could sleep until she woke up naturally tomorrow, her steps became brisk.

It was already dark, and Qin Yao had good night vision, so she refused the lantern handed over by Liu Dafu’s family and walked home under the pale moonlight in the sky today.

 A flash of orange light suddenly appeared in front of you, and Liu Ji's surprised voice said: "Madam, it turns out you are here, making it difficult for me to find you!"

Qin Yao frowned, "I told you not to come, so why are you coming?"

“It’s already dark, so I’m afraid you can’t see the way home.” Liu Ji secretly cursed that he didn’t understand good people, but he still held up a lantern and walked forward to give her some light.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and said nothing more. The two of them walked home in silence.

 Halfway through, Liu Ji couldn't hold it in any longer, and started talking about how his family was going to celebrate the New Year this year, and what he was going to buy at the market in two days. He muttered, not caring whether she listened or not, and kept talking about his plans.

Qin Yao doesn't feel annoyed at all. If you want to listen, you can listen. If you don't want to listen, just look at the lights that are on in the night.

 At the door of the house, Liu Ji asked Qin Yao: "Will we celebrate the New Year together this year?"

“It seems that we have been separated these past few years. I have always had nightmares in the past few days. It suddenly occurred to me that if my father accidentally passes away next year, I, the son, do not let him enjoy a day of happiness. It seems a bit unhuman.”

Liu Ji muttered: "It's thanks to the old man that he took out his old book and sent me to the academy against all opinions. Although I didn't get anything out of it, if it weren't for the old man, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Qin Yao stared at him as if he were a ghost for several seconds, making sure it was him and mockingly said, "I'm really not used to you being so filial all of a sudden."

Liu Ji blew out the lantern and hung it on the hook beside the door. He looked back at the man who thought he was elegant and flipped his hair, "People always change~"
