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

Chapter 81 Exchange
Qin Yao was really worried that nothing happened during the month she was here.

If she took away two taels of silver, Mr. Ding would definitely feel uncomfortable that she had taken so much money without doing anything.

But now, she doesn't have to worry about it.

Everyone in the house was sleeping deeply, and Qin Yao could still hear Dou'er snoring in the next room in the ear room.

There are only two left in the nursing home of the Ding Mansion, and there is a warehouse in the second entrance hospital, so one person is left.

The remaining person was guarding outside the door of Miss Ding's courtyard, but it seemed that he did not hear the movement outside the courtyard.

Qin Yao lifted the knife and opened the door lightly, quietly came to the corridor and hid behind a pillar.

I thought that the thief was going to come to the backyard, but unexpectedly, there was a dark shadow on the wall, which turned out to be the second entrance.

The purpose is obvious, to steal money.

Qin Yao was hiding in the shadows, but he didn't notice it at all, his eyes swept across the inner courtyard, skipping over her.

To do this kind of thing, they usually work in pairs. Qin Yao watched the thief enter the second courtyard, walk out from the shadow of the corridor, jump lightly, hold on to the eaves with his hands, and jump to the roof lightly.

Standing tall, I immediately spotted a piece of wood on the wall behind the house.

The thief climbed up the courtyard wall on this piece of wood as thick as an adult's arm, and then crawled along the courtyard wall like a cat to the second courtyard.

Under the wall, there was still a person standing, looking around with a nervous expression.

Tianhe couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell from his figure that he should be a tall and thin man in his early twenties.

Qin Yao suddenly jumped down from the wall and appeared in front of him. This person's psychological quality was so poor that he let out a frightened cry of "Ah".

With this low cry, the guards in the courtyard woke up immediately and shouted loudly:

"who?!"

Apparently, the accomplices in the yard have been discovered.

And the one in front of Qin Yao wanted to run away, but she swung the knife back, and the black shadow quickly fell down.

Qin Yao rushed forward in two steps, raised her hand to the back of the man's neck with a knife, and directly knocked him out.

She picked up the knife, as if she had eyes on her back, and threw it out with her backhand.

"what!!!"

A scream came from the top of the wall, and the guard found that the thief who wanted to escape was chopped down with a knife, with a shining knife stuck in his thigh, and blood flowed.

Seeing the knife, the startled Zhang Ba and the guard realized who had chopped the thief back from the wall.

"Ms. Qin!" Zhang Ba shouted in the courtyard.

Qin Yao responded outside the courtyard, and carried the fainted thief into the courtyard.

With a bang, the two thieves were thrown together.

The guard pulled out the knife from the thief's leg and returned it to Qin Yao, causing the thief to scream again.

Qin Yao frowned and said, "Gag the mouths, tie them together, and send them to the official after dawn."

The guards and Zhang Ba immediately found torn rags and ropes, gagged the two thieves, tied their hands and feet, and threw them into the woodshed without giving the two thieves a chance to beg for mercy!

Butler Yu hurried over and realized that the matter had been resolved. He couldn't help but nodded gratefully to Qin Yao and asked her to go back and rest while he took care of the rest.

Qin Yao nodded and retreated to the inner courtyard.

The lights were turned on in the main house, and Miss Ding asked nervously: "Have you caught the thief?"

Qin Yao replied: "It's just two little thieves. I found out as soon as I came here, and now it's resolved. It's late at night, miss go to sleep."

There was a pause in the room before a voice sounded: "Okay."

Then the lights went out, and the house returned to silence.

Qin Yao first went to the small kitchen to scoop up water to wash the knife, and then dried it with a cloth before going back to her room to sleep.

Have a good night's sleep, as if what happened last night didn't happen.

But she could not take it seriously, but Miss Ding's master and servant couldn't do it. Waiting for Qin Yao to get up, she immediately asked about what happened last night.

Qin Yao said briefly and then asked: "Are we still studying today?"

Miss Ding's attention was diverted, and the two started a pleasant role-playing game.

At noon, Housekeeper Yu came to report the progress of the matter to the young lady.

"The two little thieves have already been sent to the government. Thanks to Mrs. Qin's early discovery, the two little thieves failed to succeed, and there is no loss of property in the family."

The tiles on the roof of the wing house in the inner courtyard were stained with blood, but he arranged for Zhang Ba to clean it up early in the morning.

Miss Ding let out an oh to show she knew.

In the past, there were often thieves at home, but not many of them succeeded, so for Ms. Ding, if there was no loss, then it would be fine, and she told the housekeeper to arrange more people to be on duty at night and it would be over.

She was still more interested in teaching.

"Ms. Qin, we have been studying for so many days, shall I teach you how to draw today?"

Qin Yao asked curiously, "What do you draw?"

"Well, it's the Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow, let's draw a zongzi!"

Is it the Dragon Boat Festival?Qin Yao counted the days in her mind and it seemed that it was coming.

I don’t know how Liu Ji, his father and son, plan to spend their time at home.

Drawing is much more difficult than reading. Qin Yao is not used to holding a brush, and she feels distressed when the drawing paper is scrapped one after another. Ms. Ding is still interested, and she must teach Qin Yao how to draw zongzi.

Only one side of the waste paper was used, not to mention the other side, and there were still many blank spaces. Qin Yao couldn't help but curiously asked how to deal with the waste paper.

Miss Ding was stunned for a moment, "I don't know, the aunt who has been useless in the past will accept it. She should have taken it to the kitchen to light a fire."

Qin Yao frowned, "The empty space can still be used to practice calligraphy, it's a pity to burn it."

"Do you want it?" Miss Ding asked.

She knew that people sometimes collected these waste papers and used them as toilet paper, but she didn't use them anyway, so she let them go.

She originally thought Qin Yao was not that vulgar, but she didn't expect that she would also take advantage of this.

Qin Yao doesn't care what Miss Ding thinks. She just thinks that these blank pages can be cut out and used as notebooks.

Nodding, she asked if she could give herself the waste paper, "I can catch two birds for Miss to play with."

"Really?" Miss Ding asked excitedly, "A live bird?"

Seeing Qin Yao nodding confidently, she suddenly felt that Qin Yao was not so tacky anymore, at least she was trading with her, not trying to take advantage of her.

Catching birds was too easy for Qin Yao. During the day, while Ms. Ding was taking a nap, she walked around the mountain where she had logged before and caught two sparrows.

Cao'er hurriedly found a birdcage and came out, put two sparrows in it, and happily brought it up to Miss Ding.

"You really caught it!" The little girl was very happy, and waved her little hand, "Aunt Qiao, give all the waste paper in my house this month to Mrs. Qin!"

"Oh, if you can catch another squirrel for me, I will also give you the Enlightenment Illustrated Book you have read several times before!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, is there such a good thing?

Smiling and confirming: "Miss wants squirrels, right?"

Miss Ding nodded sharply, ignoring her image.

So, Qin Yao went to the mountains again, caught a gray squirrel with a trap, and exchanged for a copy of "The Enlightenment Illustrated Book".

She wanted to change to other books, so she asked Miss Ding if she wanted anything else.

It's a pity that Miss Ding has enough squirrels and birds.But Qin Yao is allowed to read the books on her bookshelf casually.

Qin Yao smiled lightly, that's not bad either.
