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

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

"Madam, it's just baked, so 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 already a little tired. 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, feeling aggrieved and said, "I worked 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."

Picking up the piece she pushed back, he put it naturally into his mouth, 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 Mrs. Li made so many jujube cakes. If she didn't finish them quickly, she would scold him again when she came to her senses.

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 house, and the location of the Lady Box counter store has been decided. Now all that remains is the store decoration.

In order not to delay the opening of the shop, he would 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.

In addition, the payment for one hundred ladies' boxes newly delivered to the capital has 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!"

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

Liu Ji snorted quietly. He didn't say who was feeling unbalanced!

After reading the letter, Qin Yao felt very happy.

Liu Fei is quite capable. She explained these two things and it was not easy to complete them 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 honest and upright name to give 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, Qin Yao asked Liu Ji to bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She read him to write, and wrote back a letter of encouragement and thanks to Liu Fei, asking the young man to go ahead and do it.

On the day when the letter was delivered by the motorcade, 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 the thousand taels he had temporarily transferred, Jiang Wen brought a total of 5,500 taels of silver notes.

After excluding costs and various dividends, Qin Yao still had four thousand taels left in his hands.

All of a sudden, Qin Yao had accumulated 6,736 taels of silver.

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 became busy, giving bonuses to the workers, paying dividends to the villagers, going to the county to pay taxes, and at the same time taking care of the remaining official duties accumulated in the village over the year.

When this family's land 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 for taxation purposes 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 there was a fight between the couple, 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 in 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 they see Liu Ji wandering around the village at night, the villagers will jokingly ask: "Master Juren, are you going to see your village chief 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 of your shoe and hit them with the sole to make them realize that Liu Saner is still the same rogue even if he becomes a judge, and they will shut up immediately.

"Then let's discuss it after the new year. Village chief, please take your time 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 bright 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, why are you coming?"

"It's getting dark, so I'm afraid you won't be able to see the way home." Liu Ji secretly cursed that he didn't understand good people, but he still held a lantern and walked forward to give her some light.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows but said nothing. 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 didn't feel annoyed at all. If she wanted to listen, she could listen. If she didn't want to listen, she could just look at the lights that were lighting up in the night.

When he arrived at the door of his 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, will not let him enjoy a day of happiness. It seems a bit unhuman."

Liu Ji murmured, "It's thanks to the old man that he took out all his money and sent me to the academy. Although I didn't get anything out of it, without the old man's initiative, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Qin Yao stared at him like a ghost for several seconds, making sure it was him and mockingly said: "I'm really not used to you suddenly being so filial."

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~"
