After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 287 A man’s dignity
After sending away the villagers and closing the courtyard gate, only his own family was left, and Qin Yao had time to take care of the money he earned from selling grain.

Liu Ji's health had improved a lot. He came to the main room holding the stick that Erlang had picked up for him. When he saw the large basket of silver coins on the ground, his eyes lit up. He reached out and picked up a few copper plates and threw them back. Listening The pleasant metallic sound made by the collision of copper plates made me curious:

"Madam, how much did we sell it for?"

Qin Yao fiddled with her abacus and said, "Six thousand kilograms were sold yesterday, one thousand kilograms of which belonged to the old house. The selling price was thirty cents per kilogram, a total of 180 taels, minus the 30 taels from the old house. , credited to 150 taels."

Today, more than 5000 kilograms were sold. Excluding the part sold on behalf of the villagers, the remaining [-] kilograms belong to the family themselves.

Today's selling price is 25 cents per catty, and the amount entered into the account is 110 seven taels and five cents. Adding the two trips, it is 260 seven taels and five cents of silver!
Liu Ji stared at the abacus in Qin Yao's hand and smiled from ear to ear when he saw the final number.

The original cost was only more than thirty taels of silver, and the blood profit was more than 230 taels.

"Madam, you are really a god. You could have calculated all this in advance. We deserve to be rich!" Liu Ji praised with a thumbs up.

Qin Yao turned to look at him and asked expressionlessly: "Have you warmed up your books today? Have you finished the simulation questions? Where have you progressed in studying the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Liu Ji took a breath of cold air, turned his head, silently left the main room with a stick and returned to his room.

He only heard the door slam shut, followed by the rustling sound of ink sticks grinding inside.

Qin Yao snorted, turned around with a smile and asked Erlang and others to get ropes and string the copper plates together.

The twins are so happy that they really love this job!
Four small benches were lined up in front of the basket. As soon as Si Niang sat down, she couldn't wait to pick up the rope and asked: "Mom, how many strings should I string?"

Qin Yao arranged: "Dalang and Erlang will skewer a hundred skewers. After skewering, Sanlang and Si Niang will string ten skewers into one hanging."

The two little ones can't count more than fifty, otherwise it will be confusing, so it is most suitable to arrange them to string together large amounts of money.

Qin Yao waved her hand, and the four brothers and sisters immediately took action and began the repetitive and boring task of stringing money together.

But there were a hundred people to string together at the beginning, and Sanlang and Si Niang couldn't get in the way. They were so anxious that they urged: "Big brother and second brother, please hurry up."

Erlang said angrily: "How fast is this? If you count wrongly, you have to start over from the beginning. Oh, don't talk to me. How far have I counted?"

Qin Yao reminded: "58."

Erlang glanced at her gratefully and continued counting hurriedly.

Dalang was much more patient, and gave the twins a small basket of copper plates, and asked the two of them to count the coins in piles of ten and put them on the table. This way they could make a hundred more quickly, and the twins would also have a sense of participation.

Qin Yao praised: "Da Lang, your method is very good."

The little boy's ears turned red in embarrassment.

The money was stringed together, and Awang's dinner was ready.

Today's meal is relatively light, but meat dishes are essential.

The pork stalls in the town are no longer open, so you can’t get fresh meat. Fortunately, we smoked a lot of bacon during the twelfth lunar month last year, and now there is still a little left. I eat it every now and then, barely enough to make a living.

Since confessing his true identity to Qin Yao, Awang now sits at the dining table with a small stool and eats with Qin Yao's family.

However, he sat a little further away and ate very quickly. Every time he saw the first person put down their bowls and chopsticks, he would put them down immediately, and then get up and clean them up.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters, who took turns doing housework and being on duty, were not used to it at first, but this way, they had a lot more time to do their own things, such as reading, practicing calligraphy, or going to play with other children.Jinhua is now particularly envious of Si Niang. Not only can she go out to play, but she also doesn’t have to help with housework. One day when she got home, she said to her father Liu Zhong:

"Dad, like my third uncle, you can also go to the town to bring someone back to work for our family."

As expected, the butt blossomed.

Erlang was sharing this matter with his parents as a matter of fun, when Shunzi suddenly shouted happily from outside the hospital: "Third brother, are you feeling better from your injury?"

Liu Ji, who was sitting in the room and was forced to read, immediately got out of the room and asked curiously: "Shunzi? What are you doing here?"

Shunzi first smiled and said hello to Qin Yao in the hall, then pointed to Liu Ji's house. Seeing Qin Yao nodding, she walked up to Liu Ji with a smile, helped him into the house, and said very attentively:
"Third brother, you look much better now. You can even walk around. Don't tell me, the ointment given by Dr. Jin is really good. Third brother, look at the bruises on your face. He is my charming and handsome third brother."

Listening to what Shunzi said, Liu Ji felt very happy, but because the two of them were so "compatible", as soon as he sat down, he leaned on the bedside, folded his arms and sneered:
"Tell me, what else do you want to ask me for?"

As he asked, he glanced outside the door. He didn't see Qin Yao coming, so he guessed that Shunzi must have been instructed by her.

Shunzi spoke directly and asked with a smile, "Third brother, when will you return to the academy?"

Liu Ji himself didn't know, but he had to wait until the affairs of the refugees were settled before the city gate would be opened.

"I guess it will take more than half a month." He had not returned to the academy for a long time, and he still wanted to go back. At least there was no Qin Yao's eyes staring at him all the time, and he could breathe a little.

It's not like at home, where he is easily provoked and scolded is a trivial matter, but being beaten is really fatal.

Shunzi looked at Liu Ji's dissolute heart that still couldn't be contained, and sighed twice: "Third brother, with a woman like Manager Qin, you can be content."

Among the villages nearby, who knows the past situation of Liu Ji's family, who wouldn't envy him for having such a soft meal?
Liu Ji snorted, "You are her bastard now. Don't think that I don't know that you no longer have me as your third brother in your heart. If you have any questions, hurry up. I am too lazy to talk to you, a traitor!"

Shunzi sat upright and said, "Third Brother, the factory is going to hold a literacy class, but there is still a shortage of teachers. I thought, Third Brother, you happen to be at home and you are a prestigious academy student. What a coincidence."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Ji waved his hand to refuse the three consecutive words: "If you don't want to go, if you don't want to, don't call me!"

Daqing came to work for Qin Yao, a wicked woman, so he didn't want to be a free laborer.

Shunzi: "."

"You should listen to what I have to say first."

Liu Ji: "You traitor!"

Shunzi sighed and took out a cloth bag from his arms. It jingled in his hand. Before he could put it down, Liu Ji quickly stretched out his hands and snatched the cloth bag away.

When I opened it, I saw a bunch of copper plates, a total of one hundred coins.

Liu Ji excitedly held Shunzi's hand, "Shunzi, do you know what this hundred cents represents to a penniless man?"

Shunzi was a little frightened by his reaction, "Dai, what does it mean?"

Liu Ji stood up on the bed and kissed the money bag wildly: "This is a man's dignity!"
