Chapter 134 Just in time
Liu Yingyue said, "Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang promised to take good care of the fields. Trust your employees, let them do it first. If they really can't harvest the crops, they will report to me, so you don't have to worry."

Hongzhu wanted to say that it was useless for her to worry, as she was just a little follower who ran errands, and Madam Ying, you were the boss's wife.
-
It was not until the evening of July 14 that Liu Yingyue and Mrs. Qin had dinner at the Liu family and then took a carriage back to the farm in the neighboring village.

As soon as she entered the gate of the manor, the steward Qi, who had been waiting for her for a long time, hurriedly stopped her carriage and said, "Madam Ying, you are finally back!"

Liu Yingyue lifted the curtain to look in. Seeing that he looked sad, she nodded and said, "Let's go to the back room to talk."

She got off the carriage at the gate of the manor and went into the back room.

Without waiting for her to sit down, Manager Qi started talking, telling her everything that had happened in the fields over the past few days.

"Did you find the temporary job yourself?" Liu Yingyue looked surprised.

"Yes, Lady Ying, Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang refused to hire temporary workers for us." Manager Qi sighed, "If we don't hire temporary workers, we won't be able to finish harvesting the rice. Look at the weather, it will change tomorrow. Fortunately, we have finished harvesting, otherwise the rice will get moldy if it encounters continuous rain."

"Thank you for your hard work." Liu Yingyue smiled and nodded.

Manager Qi mumbled, "Madam Ying, I and several other farmhands have been working in the fields for many years. We used to work for the Gao family and now for the Qin family. We have always been diligent and never dared to be lazy. We treat the fields of our employers as our own. We should work hard, but..."

Liu Yingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't have to pay for the temporary work. The farm will pay for it."

Manager Qi looked up in surprise and said, "Madam Ying, I want to thank you on behalf of the other twenty farmhands!"

"You guys work hard, I won't treat you unfairly." Liu Yingyue said.

She brought Manager Qi to see the head manager of the farm, Manager Tian, ​​and gave each of the twenty farmhands an additional 500 coins.

The news spread throughout the village, and everyone respected Liu Yingyue more.

After Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang heard about it, they laughed at Liu Yingyue and called her a fool.

"Second brother, everyone says that Liu Yingyue is powerful, but she is not that powerful. She was cheated out of 10,000 yuan by Qi Xitian in a foolish way." Qin Sanlang sneered.

"Isn't it better if she is confused? Third brother, is the frame ready?" Qin Erlang was calculating in his mind.

"It's ready. We can pull the food tonight."

"Okay, let's act overnight!"
-
Liu Yingyue had just sent Manager Qi away and was about to return to her own courtyard when several carriages stopped at the door.

A servant who was guarding the gate came running over, "Madam Ying, the old master and the eldest son are back."

Liu Yingyue walked over and saw Qin Yiran dismounting from his horse and walking towards her.

"Grandpa and Dad are back?" Liu Yingyue walked forward and pulled Qin Yiran's hand.

"We have ancestor worship tomorrow, so I hurried back." Qin Yiran looked at her face with burning eyes as he spoke.

Liu Yingyue looked embarrassed, glanced at him, and walked towards Old Man Qin and Uncle Qin.

The two men were wearing ordinary villagers' everyday clothes, but they did not look like farmers. They exuded a sense of majesty and solemnity.

Maybe it’s because of the military training he has been leading recently.

"Grandpa, Dad, are you back?"

"Yingyue, we are not at home, and you have been taking care of the household and the outside world by yourself. You must have worked hard." Old Master Qin was still so cheerful.

Liu Yingyue smiled slightly, "This is what a granddaughter-in-law should do."

Uncle Qin waved his hand at Qin Yiran and said, "Da Lang, you and Yingyue go back to the back house to talk to your mother first. I will talk to your grandfather and Manager Tian about some things."

Qin Yiran nodded, "Yes, Dad."

Liu Yingyue turned around and saw Mr. Qin and Uncle Qin walking towards Mr. Qin's residence in the manor. Manager Tian and Manager Liu, as well as the three strange men who followed Qin Yiran back, followed behind.

Qin Yiran took Liu Yingyue's hand and walked towards the back house, whispering, "Those are the three leaders of the Black Wind Village."

Liu Yingyue looked up at him, "Why are they here?"

"One is to transport food, and the other is to find some horsemen and blacksmiths."

"All the grain was harvested yesterday, so there's no problem. But the groom and the blacksmith are from the village, can they be trusted?"

"They are all grandpa's own people, Yingyue doesn't have to worry. This time I come to take them away." Qin Yiran said.

"Oh. That's good." Liu Yingyue nodded and said, "By the way, after you left, Erlang and Sanlang kept coming to see mother, saying they wanted to find work on the farm. I happened to be feeling unwell during those days, so I asked them to stay."

Qin Yiran stopped and frowned at her, "Why are you feeling uncomfortable? Have you seen a doctor?" He thought about it and felt that it was not right. Liu Yingyue could see a doctor herself, "Remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

Liu Yingyue blushed and looked around. Finding that he was not around, she quietly pinched Qin Yiran's waist and said, "It's because you made such a fuss that night that I didn't have any strength for several days."

Qin Yiran held her slender waist and asked, "Madam, do you have enough strength today?"

Liu Yingyue laughed angrily, "No."

Qin Yiran looked at her and smiled.

Liu Yingyue calmed down and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. Erlang and Sanlang insisted on working on the farm, so I asked them to take care of the farmhands in the fields. It's just supervision, which is not difficult. They are doing a good job. The rice has been harvested on time. The fruits in the orchard are also being picked as soon as possible."

"They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Qin Yiran asked.

Liu Yingyue smiled and said, "How dare they do that when we have mother? They always respectfully call me sister-in-law."

Qin Yiran raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
-
By the time Old Man Qin had finished discussing things, it was already halfway through the first watch.

The family talked for a while in Mr. Qin's room, and then went their separate ways.

We will worship our ancestors and offer sacrifices tomorrow morning.

At night, although Qin Yiran was very fierce, he did not keep Liu Yingyue awake until dawn.

Seeing him seriously talking about blowing out the lights and going to bed, Liu Yingyue couldn't help laughing.
-
She slept well and woke up at dawn.

The bed was half empty, Qin Yiran was no longer on it.

Liu Yingyue called Hongzhu to get some water for washing her face.

"The eldest master said he was going to the eldest lady's place. Madam Ying, please pack up and go over there soon." Hongzhu carried the basin of water and entered the bedroom.

Liu Yingyue nodded, "Have the people from the second house arrived?"

If there is a ceremony to worship the ancestors, the second branch and the side branches will also come.

"I came. I came before daybreak."

Liu Yingyue sneered in her heart. She came at the right time. She would deal with those parasites in the second room today.

The brothers of Black Wind Village are fighting and bleeding in the front. If they knew that Qin Erlang and his brother had transported most of the food away, they would probably be furious. In order to suppress the anger of Black Wind Village, Old Man Qin would definitely take action against Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang.

After Liu Yingyue finished washing up, she and Hongzhu came to the main room of Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin.

As soon as I reached the stairs, I heard Qin Yiran yelling at someone in the main room.
