Stepmom's Farm Life

Chapter 31: Not Enjoyable

Qin Yao dug out the clothes she had worn previously from the pile of old clothes. They had been rubbed with wood ash and she didn't dare wash them with water as they would definitely be ruined.

The bloody smell on the clothes has dissipated. It's a little small, but I'll just wear it.

"Put on your clothes properly, otherwise I'll catch a cold again."

Qin Yao threw the clothes to Liu Ji and instructed: "For the next month, there will be helpers at home. In addition to our three meals a day, we also need to prepare a meal for everyone at noon. Since your injury has not healed yet, you should do these light tasks first. If you have time after cooking, do the housework."

As he spoke, he took out a string of copper coins from his purse and handed them to him, a total of three hundred coins.

"There's no vegetables at home, so you can go buy some. I still have some pork left from the day before, and it will go bad if I keep it there any longer, so you can cook it all today."

"From now on, cook the meat every five days, making it softer in the morning and harder for dinner."

"By the way, I have a big appetite, so remember to cook more. I will be very irritable if I don't have enough."

As for what he would do when he got angry, she didn't know.

After giving the instructions, Qin Yao urged him to hurry up, then closed the door, picked up the frame, and walked towards the river.

Liu Ji, who was still thinking about how to protect his innocence, was stunned for five seconds while holding the copper coin that he had been looking for the entire afternoon yesterday.

Just give him the money now?

A gust of cold wind blew, and Liu Ji shivered all over and sneezed loudly.

He hastily put on the ill-fitting linen clothes. After putting two layers of linen clothes on his body, he felt better.

All the herbs on his face were peeled off, and his face, which had lost its swelling, showed some of his former elegance.

He had been lying in bed for two days without washing or grooming. His waist-length hair was scattered behind his head, and a few strands of hair hung down in front of his eyes, making him look even more sickly and pale.

Liu Ji was thin but not skinny, tall, with a well-proportioned figure. Even in the tattered linen clothes he wore, he looked particularly desolate.

Coupled with his 'battle-damaged face' at the moment, his whole body exudes a pitiful sense of brokenness and fragility.

However, this temperament did not last for more than three seconds. The moment he saw the copper coin, his true face was revealed, full of greed.

Liu Ji had a good idea in his mind. How much are the vegetables worth?

The two sisters-in-law in the old house have planted a lot of vegetables. They are all their own land. Can they ask him for money for

a handful of vegetables? There are other vegetable fields in the village. Everyone is a fellow villager. A handful of vegetables is not worth much. He can take a handful from this family today and another one tomorrow. Wouldn't the three hundred coins be his?

Thinking of this, Liu Ji hid all the copper coins at home, locked the door, and came out empty-handed.

In front of and behind the house were relatives and villagers who came to help. Qin Yao had already gone to the river and was not here.

When everyone saw Liu Ji appear, they greeted him and asked him where he was going and whether his injury was better.

The two uncles' families praised Qin Yao and said that Liu Ji was lucky to marry such a virtuous woman. He was a scoundrel, but he could live in a tiled house.

Liu Ji responded cheerfully to the first part, but when he heard the latter part, his smile froze instantly.

Then he changed his mind and thought that this might be a compliment to his own ability. He brushed away the flying hair in front of his forehead and said proudly:

"That's right. Don't you see who I am, Liu Ji? Apart from anything else, there is no other man as handsome as me in the entire Kaiyang County!"

"The girls and wives who want to be my concubines can line up from Liujia Village to the capital. If it weren't for the fact that this woman has a lot of strength and can make money, would I let her into my family? Become my main wife?"

The relatives fell silent for a moment, not even bothering to roll their eyes at him, and just focused on their work.

Liu Ji didn't mind whether anyone showed up to support him or not. He had been lying there trembling with fear for two days. If he didn't let out a sigh of relief, he would go crazy! Zheng

Jue was very proud. He walked towards the river with his hands behind his back, thinking that he looked handsome and unrestrained. He was thinking about which young wife's field he should go to and bring back some vegetables.

I met Qin Yao, who was standing steadily on the bridge carrying two full baskets of stones.

Liu Ji's scalp suddenly felt numb.

Qin Yao came over with a stone on her shoulder with an expressionless face. Liu Ji tried to force a smile, "My wife, you're here. I was just about to go buy some vegetables. Whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it and cook it for you."

"."

The other party did not respond, but just glanced at him lightly when he walked in front of him.

This glance is very meaningful.

Liu Ji's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed hard.

She must have heard it!

Liu Ji subconsciously raised his hands to cover his face, but was not hit.

When he felt that the person had gone far away, he realized that his whole body was frozen.

He hated it, hated that his body didn't obey him, hated that he broke out in cold sweat when he saw that evil woman!

At this time, Liu Ji didn't know that there was an invisible thing called murderous aura.

He paused for a few seconds before his body regained the ability to move. He jogged into the village, but was blocked by houses and trees. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.

Twenty helpers came to the house. At the Liu family's old house, except for Old Man Liu and Liu Bo who were there to pour manure on the land, Liu Zhong and Liu Fei also came.

Even eight-year-old Jinbao came to help pick up stones.

There is strength in numbers. Uncle Jiu was in command of the whole scene. Some people were responsible for digging the foundation, some were responsible for picking up stones, and some were responsible for digging the soil.

We just started work today, and are currently in the material preparation stage.

After working for a whole morning, the outline of the foundation of the wall has been dug out and the location of the additional house has also been determined.

Qin Yao was very satisfied with this efficiency.

After being busy all morning, she was very unhappy with her lunch.

A large pot of semi-thick multi-grain porridge, a mixture of rice and millet, with a few pieces of chopped vegetables the size of fingernails scattered in it.

Everyone who worked was given a full bowl.

Actually, this lunch looks good, but! It has no taste!

Qin Yao had been working hard for the whole morning, and she was the main worker. She was so tired that she just wanted to eat something oily.

As a result, let's call it vegetable porridge. After drinking a mouthful of vegetable porridge, there is no taste at all. How can I describe the bland feeling?

It's like you are working on a high-rise building in the hot summer, and you want to eat some ice watermelon to quench your thirst after you finish your work. As a result, you pick up the watermelon expectantly, and the watermelon is not sweet, but it is still warm!

This kind of collapse made Qin Yao almost unable to hold back, and stabbed the chef to death in front of all the relatives and clansmen.

Qin Yao's favorite thing is eating, and her most hated thing is not being able to eat well.

I didn't have a good meal at noon, so I had a gloomy face the whole afternoon, and my whole body exuded a murderous aura that kept away strangers.

Uncle Jiu, who was always cursing at the young men in the Chong clan, started to lower his voice unconsciously when he saw her.

Liu Ji squatted beside the water tank washing dishes, secretly observing Qin Yao's reaction. Seeing that she did not have an attack, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as I was about to relax, a pair of delicate women's boots appeared before my eyes.

Liu Ji: o((⊙﹏⊙))o! ! !
