Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 4 Li Shi's Doubts

"Sister, didn't you get beaten up?" Shi Li looked at the coldness in Qin Yuyao's eyes, and felt that the summer heat had also reduced by three points, which was indescribably weird.

"I want to ask my sister-in-law something." Qin Yuyao raised her head, and looked at Li Shi quietly with her dark eyes: "I don't know if you saw someone passing by the small road before my sister-in-law came?"

Mrs. Li thought about it, and said: "It's almost noon now, everyone has come back from the field and is rushing home. I met a lot of people along the way. Why do you ask this?"

"Did sister-in-law meet anyone who behaved strangely?" Qin Yuyao's tone was light, but there was no trace of worry in her tone.

Mrs. Li didn't take it seriously, turned her head to think for a while, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "You ask that, I just remembered that when your sister-in-law Mrs. Wang brushed past me, she shrank her arms and shook. I'm afraid I'll be attached to her." At this point, Li Shi said with some disdain: "Who would like to be attached to her? I'm afraid that she will be infected with laziness when she eats lazy things. Wandering around all day, even a little farm work If you don’t do it, you will dream of money falling from the sky every day, spit!”

Hearing this, Qin Yuyao already understood a little bit in her heart, but for further confirmation, she still asked: "Sister-in-law, does Mrs. Wang look very happy? Does it look like she got a big deal?"

"Isn't it? With a smile on her face, she looks so happy, I don't know, I thought she picked up ten taels of silver!" Li Shi said angrily.

Hearing this, Qin Yuyao smiled a little: "Sister-in-law is right now, didn't she pick up ten taels of silver?"

"What?" Li's eyes widened, "She picked up ten taels of silver? How did she pick it up? Why is she so lucky? She didn't work all day and wandered around, and she actually picked up silver for her?"

Qin Yuyao suppressed her smile, her expression a little stern: "Gu Qingchen sent people to seize Bao'er, but I didn't want to, so I argued with them. They prevaricated me with money, saying it was compensation for raising Bao'er all these years. I wholeheartedly If you fight with them, you don't pay attention, and when you drive them away, the money will be gone!"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately became angry: "This shameless little whore! Why do I think she is beautiful, so she stole your money, sister! I am so mad! Wait, sister, I will get it back for you!"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry." Qin Yuyao grabbed her wrist, turned her head and patted Bao'er's head, only to see Bao'er's small mouth was pursed, her little face was dirty, and she couldn't hide her grievance and fear.Seeing Qin Yuyao looking over, he actually showed her a big smile, so cute that it made people feel distressed.Qin Yuyao looked away, and said to Li Shi: "Sister-in-law must be exhausted after doing farm work all morning. Why don't you go home and have dinner first. The elder brother and the children are waiting for you. After all, with such a large number, they will wait for a while. It can't be spent, why don't I go with my sister-in-law after dinner."

Mrs. Li thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll go home right away! Sister, don't be afraid, I'll tell Brother Ping when I get home, and my parents won't ignore it even if they know about it!"

After speaking, Mrs. Li left in a hurry.Qin Yuyao stood up slowly, picked up the small wooden pile stool with one hand, and walked into the house.Bao'er hurriedly walked to the front, stretched her fleshy little hands into Qin Yuyao's arms, and hugged the small stake in her hand: "Mother, I'll come."

"No need." As soon as Qin Yuyao said that, she saw Bao'er's eyes darken, and there was water vapor in her big eyes, as if she was about to cry.The lips sunken in many small pits due to thirst were pursed, and the big foggy eyes flickered, as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, lowered his head and followed behind Qin Yuyao.

Qin Yuyao was startled, wanted to coax him, but didn't know how to speak.I have lived for almost 30 years in my previous life, and I have never had children. In addition to my busy schedule, I don’t even have the chance to go to the park and play with children on weekdays.

Qin Yuyao walked in front holding the small wooden stake, Bao'er followed step by step, and walked into the house, Qin Yuyao put the small wooden stake in front of the stove, and pointed: "Sit."

Bao'er raised her head, with joy in her eyes: "Bao'er won't sit, mother will sit."

"If I tell you to sit, you can sit." Qin Yuyao was a little annoyed, what are children so sensible?
Bao'er was scolded by her, so frightened, she quickly sat on the small wooden post, with her two little hands on her knees, and sat upright.The two big eyes seem to be able to speak, looking at Qin Yuyao, as if saying: "Mother, do you think I am sitting well?"

Seeing how flattering he was, Qin Yuyao couldn't help reaching out and stroking his head.Going to the corner, rummaging through the pile of vegetables, finally picked out a small cucumber that was wilted but the freshest inside, scooped up a scoop of clean water, rinsed it, handed it to Bao'er and said, "Eat it!" .”

Bao'er's originally tense face relaxed a little at this moment.After receiving the cucumber, he didn't eat it right away. Looking up at Qin Yuyao, his eyes slowly became moist again: "Mother, you won't leave Bao'er, will you?"

The childish and immature voice, full of caution and longing, made Qin Yuyao feel as if she was being beaten hard on the heart by something.After a pause, he touched his head and said, "Why would I leave you?" She had promised his mother that she would take good care of him.She has never been a person who broke her promise, and no matter how hard it is in the future, she will never leave him alone.

Bao'er's big watery eyes suddenly burst out with extreme light, as if the dark sky was suddenly cleared, revealing the original clarity and beauty.Suddenly jumped off the small wooden stake, hugged Qin Yuyao's legs and said cheerfully: "Mother, mother, mother! Bao'er knew that you would not leave Bao'er! Mother is the best! Bao'er doesn't want it!" Go with them, Bao'er doesn't like to eat any princes! Bao'er likes to eat cucumbers!" After finishing speaking, Ga Beng bit off the head of the cucumber.

Qin Yuyao couldn't help smiling, touched his head, turned around and walked to the stove to cook.However, when his eyes fell on the rice vat and the noodle vat, his expression froze.

There are only a handful of rice grains in the jar, and only a small handful of flour left. After one meal, the next meal will not be known.Qin Yuyao gradually grimaced, took a broken bowl with a chip, rolled up her sleeves and reached into the vat, picked out all the rice grains at the bottom of the vat, washed them clean, poured them into the pot, and added two scoops of water into them.The sparse rice grains were washed up by the water and slowly scattered on the bottom of the black pot.

Such a little thing is not enough for two people to eat.Qin Yuyao thought with a sullen face, sir, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you go hungry for a meal or two, Bao'er is growing up, is this how Qin treats Bao'er?
Mobilizing the memory in his brain, he couldn't help getting more angry.If the Qin family is a weak and incompetent woman, it's fine, her abilities are limited, and it would be considered unlucky for Bao'er to be her son after being reincarnated.But the Qin family is obviously an extremely capable woman. When she was still a girl at home, she was a good hand at work, and no one in Xiushui Village could match her.After getting married, because Gu Qingchen was studying, pens, inks, papers and inkstones were not small expenses. Embroidery, farming, and feeding livestock were organized in an orderly manner inside and out, and everyone gave a thumbs up when they mentioned it.
