MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields

Chapter 91 People from Xiahe Village

I don’t know who leaked the news, and the whole village suddenly knew that Qin Yao was going to send Liu Ji back to the academy to study.

The people in the village were talking a lot, and the men were jealous and envious of Liu Ji for having such a good thing happen to him.

 The women couldn’t figure out why Qin Yao was so nice to Liu Ji, a bastard.

Of course, there are also those who laugh at the couple for their whims, thinking that studying can lead to success? Many people read that even a child student in their seventh or eighth decade could not pass the exam, and they regarded it as a joke.

The old house of the Liu family exploded. Old man Liu and his three sons discussed this matter for a long time. Instead, Mr. He and Mr. Qiu, who had a big belly, took advantage of the time when they went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and came to Qin Yao's house. Find her in the mill.

"Brothers and sisters, are the reports outside true or false? Do you really want the third child to continue his studies? What are you trying to do? If he had worked hard, he would not be like this long ago!" He asked anxiously.

　　Two sisters-in-law have just been sent away here, and two more people from other villages have arrived at the entrance of the village over there.

Just looking at the millstone, it is bigger than other people’s millstones, and it must be able to grind more grain than other people’s millstones.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, then this is a big deal.

It turned out to be Wang Yu, the son of the village chief of Xiahe Village.

After Qin Yao re-cut the grain on the stone mill, people from the village came over to grind it with grain. The two nodded to each other and went about their business.

The place in Xiahe Village was rich. Qin Yao didn’t want to let it go, so she led Wang Yu to the waterwheel and said to him:

 “Look at this water, I don’t have a big gap, but it has such a strong driving force.”

Two people suddenly came and told her these words, and her heart skipped a beat, "Does everyone know?"

"Our whole family has already decided on this matter. We all know what kind of temper Liu Ji is. It is absolutely impossible to point him to the ground for food. So after much deliberation, I decided to let him go to school. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains. "

 After all, in a clan society, blood and kinship relations are inseparable, and Liu Ji's troublesome stick will indeed affect the kinship.

He and Qiu nodded, "All the women in the village know that you are stupid!"

 Qin Yao was repairing the stone mill in the water mill. The mill had been running at high intensity, and the grooves were a bit smooth, so it had to be polished again to make it usable.

Qin Yao's heart fluctuated for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. She kept moving her hands, signaling Qiu to sit further away to avoid accidental injury, and said calmly:

Wang Yu said yes and walked away.

Qin Yao actively recommended that Xiahe Village make good use of the natural river channels and build a large mill in one step.

The villager looked at Qin Yao strangely. Qin Yao explained: "He is from Xiahe Village. The village also wants to build a water mill. Come and have a look."

Qin Yao didn’t go home and planned to go for a walk in the fields first. As soon as she crossed the bridge, she heard an excited shout:

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law is my Shunzi!" Qin Yao looked up after hearing the sound, and saw Shunzi leading a strange young man running towards her excitedly.

"I often go to Xiahe Village. There is a height difference of one or two meters in the middle section of the river. If I build a water mill directly at that location, the power will be much greater than mine. It will be no problem to use two mills and one mill at the same time. "

She talked so wildly that she turned a water mill into a fairy workshop. Wang Yu couldn't stand it at all and asked excitedly:

“How much money does it cost to build such a comprehensive mill?”

This is what Mrs. Qiu is worried about. After finally seeing her third child calm down and the family feeling more relaxed, no one wants to go back to the same situation.

Qin Yao smiled, nodded, and said hello to the other party.

The village is jointly built, and Xiahe Village has a large population, so how can only one water mill be enough?

“Yes, we all know that you are very powerful, but we are very powerful, and no one will tell you that the stronger person will take care of everything. Brothers and sisters, don’t be stupid, or the loss will outweigh the gain.”

Of course, Qin Yao could see the little thoughts of the two sisters-in-law. It was not wrong for people to think more about themselves, but it could not be said that they did not really care about her.

Wang Yu asked in surprise: "Can you grind a load in less than half an hour?"

Qiu was also anxious, but his character was more steady. He first found a place to sit down, then held his stomach and said in a calm tone:

"Not to mention the cost of studying. There are only two of you in the house. Now that the third child is gone, how can you do all the work in the fields by yourself?"

Qin Yao saw that the two of them were dizzy and quickly sent them away. She also asked them to go back to the old house and talk to them. Don't try to persuade them. She had already made up her mind.

 In fact, what she is most worried about is that the third child will go out and fool around. If he fails Qin Yao, the family will definitely break up.

Shunzi followed Qin Yao and whispered to her that the villagers in Xiahe Village knew that there was a water mill in Liujia Village that was very useful, and they planned to raise money to build one together, so they came to Qin Yao for advice.

One of them looked familiar. Someone recognized him. He seemed to be from Xiahe Village who often hung out with Liu Laosan. His name seemed to be Shunzi or something.

However, Wang Yu's expression was not too shocked and he seemed to be able to bear it.

He didn’t quite believe it, “Seriously?”

 But on the other hand, if he gets better, his relatives will also be able to enjoy the benefits he brings.

Qin Yao nodded, "Yes." She caught a glimpse of Shunzi blinking at her, smiled and said, "Would you like to go over and have a look?"

“Ms. Qin’s grinding wheel is so big and fast that it can grind a load of grain in less than half an hour!”

Qin Yao made a calculation in her mind and said in a pretense of embarrassment: "It's hard to say. The loss of materials is different when done by experienced hands and by novices. Even if Carpenter Liu from our village and I come in person, it will cost at least fifteen taels." ”

As he spoke, from the corner of his eye, he saw the two sisters-in-law standing up worriedly, and smiled lightly at them, "I know what you are worried about, and I have my own way to deal with him."

This is what Qin Yao told her two sisters-in-law, so much so that they almost believed her. They imagined that if Liu Ji gained fame, they would become the sisters-in-law of the scholar.

 Human nature is complicated, Qin Yao fully understands it, but she would also be worried if it were the He family or the Qiu family.

Wang Yu came to the mill, and there happened to be villagers grinding there. He saw that the water mill whirred by itself, much faster than people grinding it. People only had to stare at it and didn't need to use it at all. It was novel and envious.

 The strange man was a few steps behind. Shunzi stepped forward first and told Qin Yao the identity of the visitor.

 The villager smiled and replied: "It's absolutely true, anyone who coaxes you is not a human being."

 Shunzi took a breath when he heard the price.

The other side also smiled at her and pointed to the shed on the other side of the river in surprise, "Is that your water mill?"

How wonderful it is to have three younger brothers and sisters here, and the two families to be in harmony.

When the villagers heard this, they realized that this was the case. They smiled enthusiastically and asked Wang Yu to take a closer look to see how useful the grinder was.

After all, it is a joint venture. Their Xiahe village has a large population and is richer than other villages. There are 65 households. If divided, two qian per household is a little more, which is acceptable if you think about it.

But I still asked, if their village asked her and Carpenter Liu to provide guidance, give them a small reward, and then let the people of Xiahe Village do the work, how much would it cost.
