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

Chapter 5
Old man Liu knew that he had many sons in his family, and if he didn't discipline them well, the family would be disbanded sooner or later, so he was willing to work hard and was ruthless in discipline.

But this third child, if you hit him he will run away, if you scold him he will point to your nose and yell at you in turn, what's the use of being cruel?

He was so angry that Old Man Liu turned gray all night long.

A man in his 40s with gray hair looks like he is 60 years old.

Seeing that Liu Laosan was over fifteen and discipline was useless, Mrs. Zhang asked someone for a folk remedy, saying that shrews are good at getting around without being stingy.

So Old Man Liu thought about marrying Liu Ji a capable daughter-in-law to keep him under control. After the marriage, the two of them would go out to live alone, and the family would have peace and quiet, out of sight and out of mind. As a father, he was worthy of him.

The old couple put all their energy into choosing a wife for Liu Ji, and finally chose Mo Shi, who is hot and capable.

I didn't expect that Liu Ji's unscrupulousness really saved a lot.

But no one would have imagined that such a good person would die of dystocia.

Old man Liu was even more devastated than Liu Ji. On the day he sent his third daughter-in-law to the funeral, he cried all the way:

"My fate, this is my fate, Old Man Liu! I don't know what evil I did to this kid Liu Ji in my previous life, but in this life I asked him to come to my house to collect blood debt!"

At this moment, recalling the situation back then, Old Man Liu was only afraid that Qin Yao would leave the third child and his family and run away.

"The third family, if you have any difficulties, come to the old house, and the whole family will discuss and make a decision together, but don't carry it alone." Old man Liu warned.

Qin Yao thought that old man Liu would hold her accountable, but she was a little surprised that old man Liu would say such a thing.

"Well, I know." She nodded in response.

Old man Liu thought that she understood what he meant and would come to him to borrow money to redeem Liu Ji, so he felt a little relieved.

The three brothers, Liu Bai, had deep resentment towards Liu Ji. Seeing that Qin Yao agreed, thinking that even if he had to worry about himself, it would be the second round. He was a serious lady, so he urged old man Liu to go home for dinner first.

Old man Liu looked at the five mothers in front of him, sighed, called Liu Ji an asshole, and called his sons to leave.

When they left, the four father and son winked hard at Da Lang and Erlang, saying they are optimistic about your stepmother.

Although Qin Yao looks thin and doesn't look like she can run far at this time, but thinking about the situation in the third child's family now, everyone wants to run away, who can say for sure.

Qin Yao watched them go away and looked back at the four brothers and sisters standing in front of the door, "Are you hungry?"

The four siblings nodded honestly.

After making a fuss all morning, Qin Yao had already digested the eight taro that she ate in the morning, and she was also hungry.

Qin Yao took the four still warm taro out of her pocket and handed them to the four brothers and sisters, "One for each, eat something to pad your stomach first."

Qin Yao had already looked at the dilapidated house just now. There were only wooden beds in the two rooms, and there was a colorless quilt on the bed. Not to mention hiding money, there was nowhere to hide when mice came.

There is simply a stove and an iron pot, and the water tank is empty, so I can't eat serious meals, so I can only continue to roast taro.

Qin Yao saw a small pile of firewood beside the stove. They were all broken branches. Dalang or Erlang should have picked them up at the foot of the mountain.

Qin Yao found the flint, cleaned the stove, and lit the fire quickly.

The four brothers and sisters stood behind her, looking at the delicious taro in their hands, and swallowed hard. In front of the food, they could no longer remember their goddam father being carried away by debt collectors.

There is affection, but not much.

Sanlang and Siniang were young and couldn't control their instincts. They put the taro under the tip of their noses and sniffed, licking their lips and looking at the two elder brothers.

Dalang watched Qin Yao bury the black lumps in the rattan pocket into the fire, wait for a while to ripen, then pull them out, tear the skin, put the things in his mouth, and then nodded to his brothers and sisters who couldn't bear it anymore .

"It smells so good~" Saburo just took a bite, and his eyes lit up with a swipe.

"This is taro, which is very fragrant."

Qin Yao's voice suddenly sounded, and the four brothers and sisters who were chewing taro froze together.

Erlang's face changed slightly. He heard from the villagers that taro is poisonous, and he will get strange diseases after eating it.
Qin Yao saw them cautiously observing her actions just now, and thought they were so cautious because they knew it was taro.

It turns out I didn’t know at all.

Qin Yao chuckled, put all the yams in her hands into her mouth, patted her buttocks, got up and came to the four brothers and sisters, grabbed two yams, and explained:

"The mucus of raw taro will itch when it touches the skin. Just rinse it with water and it will be fine. Cooked taro will not have this problem, so feel free to eat it."

After that, he buried the taro in his hand into the ashes and continued to roast it. He pulled out the roasted taro and piled it beside the fire. He raised his chin to Dalang and said, "Where is the bucket? I'll get some water and come back. Let's put it in the house." Do some hygiene."

Life kissed her with pain, but she still responded with songs.

Now Qin Yao can't make do with this dirty house overnight!

Having not eaten decent food for a long time, Da Lang paused for a moment before realizing it. After eating the taro in his hands, he walked into the house and took out a heavy wooden barrel from a dark corner.

Even though a country boy is thin, he has been helping the family since he was a child and has considerable strength.

Dalang carried the wooden bucket and said to Erlang, "My stepmother and I are going to fetch water."

Erlang nodded. Although the family is poor, not all the villagers are kind-hearted. Some people will bully you the more they see you poor.

There were originally two wooden barrels and a pole in the house, but they forgot to hide them in the house when they went to the mountains to collect wild fruits. When they returned home, the poles were missing and the barrel was missing.

The eldest brother went to the village to search all over, and everyone said they didn't see it, and finally nothing happened.

Qin Yao followed Dalang to the village well. Erlang saw her go far away, and immediately rushed to the fire, distributed the pile of baked taro left by Qin Yao to his younger siblings, and took one for himself, and told them both to eat. : "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Sanlang and Siniang puffed up their cheeks, like hamsters, their mouths wriggled, and they nodded vaguely, "Hmm!"

Soon, the small pile of taro was eaten by the three siblings.

Erlang asked Sanlang to watch the taro buried in the fire to prevent it from burning. He sat down on the threshold, leaning his head against the door frame, rubbing his own belly with one hand, and rubbing Si Niang's bulging belly with the other.

Brother and sister, you look at me, I look at you, and laughed, it feels so good to be full.

On Qin Yao's side, carrying a wooden barrel, she followed behind her step-eldest son, and the two walked towards the village in silence.

Qin Yao was not talkative, and Da Lang didn't know his stepmother well, so he didn't know what to say to her, so he could only keep silent.

There is a well in the village, and the water in the well is clear and sweet. The villagers all draw water here.

For starching and washing clothes, go to the entrance of the village, where the river water is cut off and gathered to form a small pond, where cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, as well as vegetables and laundry are all used in one place.

Because it is running water, it is not dirty, but people who are not too far away from the village well will not go to the pond to get water for consumption.

Liu Ji was ostracized in the village. After being separated from the Liu family's old house, he built a house on a low slope in the north of the village. The family lived upstream of the river, so it was close to the river to get water.

But Da Lang brought her to the village well. She didn't know the village well when she first arrived, so it was better to follow him first.
