After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

After a series of price cuts, in the end, after three and a half days of exhausting 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.

He also 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 the service of helping to grind and deliver to your home, let me say the important thing three times: No! No! No!

After that, everything happens as it happens.

Use it if you like, or use it yourself if you don’t need it!

Sure enough, after choosing to show off, the whole person's mentality calmed down.

It's a bit depressing when things fail halfway through starting a business.

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

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

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!

I'm going to Liu Dafu's house. Qin Yao said.

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

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

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.

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

The little grandson also said happily, Uncle Three is not a good person, but Aunt Three is a good person. When the hen hatches some chicks, let's give two to Aunt Three, right grandma?

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.

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

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

The little grandson also looked at the cash box and murmured, Send Aunt Three two more chicks. She is kind-hearted and will definitely not care about us.

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

When I arrived at Liu Dafu's house, no one else was there, so I personally transported the grain to the grain store in town to sell it.

There are only his wife and daughter at home, taking care of three sons who are bedridden.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 the mother and daughter were having difficulty turning their three sons over, they didn't care about the male and female defenses, so they helped and helped the eldest, second and other brothers to sit on the chairs in the main room.

In the past, Liu Dafu was away from home, and his eldest son Liu Gong took care of everything at home. Now Qin Yao wants to rent land, and she tells him the same thing.

It just so happens that this year there are still one hundred acres of fertile land in the east that haven't been released yet. 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.

However, 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.

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

The water mill is not without any income. In the future, you should be able to earn two hundred cents a month, which can be used as money to buy food.

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.

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

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.

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?

Qin Yao nodded firmly.

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.

We have 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.

It's just Miss Qin that you want to use, so there is no rental fee. You can kindly feed it two handfuls of grass, so as not to let the cow starve.

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

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.

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.

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 allocated to Qin Yao this time belonged to Liu Ji's family.

Liu Gong said: Anyway, the third brother is familiar with the place. Since I have inconvenient legs and feet, 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.

Today is an important time for spring plowing. He and his two younger brothers are 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.

Qin Yao agreed and told him when she made her choice later.

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

But before leaving, he saw Brother Liu Gong's difficult movements and reminded him:

Carpenter Liu has good craftsmanship and a fair price. You can ask him to buy a wheelchair and hand-held crutches, which will make daily mobility easier.

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

They only know the sticks used by the old people, and they can't hold them up.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, Don't you know?

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.
