MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 69 Please stand behind
Chapter 69 Please stand behind
Before going to bed at night, Liu Jidu was still angry that Qin Yao had taken away his opportunity to go out.
He imagined countless scenes of torturing Qin Yao in his mind to comfort himself.
However, the next second it smelled really good.
At three o'clock in the morning, there was the sound of getting up in Qin Yao's bedroom. Liu Ji was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He felt that his body was trapped by the bed. He only had a vague consciousness that was thankful that I wasn't crawling at this time. Get up and go on your way.
The courtyard door opened and then closed gently.
There is no moon today, and it is so dark outside that I can’t see my fingers. Qin Yao holds a torch and walks quickly toward Xiahe Village in the cool morning breeze of early summer.
Shunzi estimated the time, got up at half past four, dressed and washed, and cooked some soup to fill her stomach. Then she blew out the oil lamp and walked towards the entrance of the village with a little blurry light.
Before I got closer, I saw a man holding a torch in the distance. The figure was leaning back and forth in the light of the fire. I felt that the figure was a little thinner, so I shouted excitedly: "Third Brother!"
"I didn't expect you to be so early. I thought you were going to delay some more time, so I arrived half a stick of incense late. Third brother, you haven't been here for a while, right?"
Qin Yao turned around.
“Tiantianye!” Shunzi was startled and jumped back ten meters.
If you see a woman holding a torch in the middle of the night, tell me whether she is scary or not!
After waiting for half a minute to confirm that the person opposite was someone, Shunzi asked doubtfully: "Who are you? Where is my third brother?"
“Are you asking Liu Ji?”
Shunzi nodded fiercely, thinking to himself, this sound is very pleasant.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. He could tell his third brother's name. It seemed that he should know him.
"I am his wife Qin Yao. Liu Ji suddenly fell ill, so I went to work as a day laborer for him." Qin Yao said with a smile.
Shunzi was shocked. It turned out that the woman in front of him was the shrew who drank the blood of beasts as mentioned by the third brother?
But it doesn’t look like it, he speaks quite softly and even smiles.
“It turns out she’s my sister-in-law. She scared me to death.” Shunzi walked up and suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was much kinder. It was all a misunderstanding.
“It’s just that Ding’s family only recruits male workers, sister-in-law, if you want to go.”
Qin Yao said: "I know what you mean, but I don't want to miss this opportunity. Whether it succeeds or not, I have to give it a try first. What do you think?"
“It’s getting late, let’s talk while walking.” Qin Yao raised her hand and made a gesture to lead the way.
Shunzi nodded "Oh" and looked back at Qin Yao several times. Every time she smiled at him with gentle eyes.
The young man scratched his head in confusion. Is the third brother blind? My sister-in-law is obviously very nice!
Shunzi asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, why is third brother sick?"
Qin Yao: “I suddenly became ill.”
“Oh.” Shunzi suddenly felt helpless and didn’t know what to say.
But it felt even weirder for two people to walk without talking. Shunzi tried hard to find a topic, but was choked by Qin Yao's "um", "oh" and "hmm" answers every time.
Finally, he gave up and chose to shut up.
After all, men and women are different, so it’s better to keep a distance.
But what surprised Shunzi was that Qin Yao walked so fast that he fell behind her as soon as he lost his attention, as if he was about to fly.
Seeing that he was slow, he took the initiative and said, "Brother Shunzi, let's go quickly and try to be the first wave to arrive."
Shunzi nodded and walked, almost running. Before six o'clock, they arrived at Jinshi Town. The town has no city walls and is built at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by large tracts of farmland and mountain forest land.
A quaint bluestone street passes through the middle of the town. There are several shops on the left and right sides. There is no market on weekdays and they are not open.
Only rice shops, oil shops, and meat stalls in the center of the town are open regularly.
It was too early now, the streets were deserted, except for a few barking dogs and roosters crowing from residents’ homes.
The Zhuangzi of Ding's wife's family is at the east end of the town, surrounded by fertile fields. It is a three-entry courtyard with white walls and blue tiles. There are two unicorn rings hanging on the vermilion door and two stone lions in front of the door. It is very grand.
Qin Yao and Qin Yao came to the door. They were the first, but now there is no one there.
Shunzi whispered to Qin Yao that this Ding member was the master of Juren, and the county magistrate had to respect him three points when meeting him, reminding her to pay attention to etiquette and not to offend the master of Juren.
"Want to kneel down?" Qin Yao asked tentatively.
Shunzi shook his head. He was not an official when he was promoted. It didn't mean that he had to kneel down. It depends on the individual.
Qin Yao said oh, Shunzi didn’t know if she understood, but it was not the first time they met, so they didn’t mention it again.
You dare not knock on the door, you can only stand at the door and wait for someone to open the door.
Let's wait, a few more people came one after another, and they all felt very strange when they saw Qin Yao, a woman.
But everyone didn’t know each other, and they didn’t ask each other. They stood in different places, silently following the order of first come, first served, staggered forward and backward.
But such a tacit understanding will always be broken by some people.
Seeing that the next three people were about to stand in front of him and Qin Yao, Shunzi yelled, "Hey!" "Stand at the back, we were here first! Didn't you see that everyone stood behind you?"
The three of them turned around and glanced up and down at Shunzi and Qin Yao beside him. They were a little surprised that he actually brought a woman with him. They sneered and stood in front of the two of them without saying anything.
Shunzi took a look and saw that the people behind him only dared to get angry but did not dare to say anything. After all, the three other people were tall and strong, so they did not dare to get into trouble.
He was furious, but he didn't want to conflict with the three of them. Just when he was debating whether to bear it or not, Qin Yao actually took a step forward, stretched out her hand, and patted the three of them on the shoulders.
“Please stand in the back.”
Her tone was calm, but there was an air of calmness and authority in her eyes that no one could ignore.
The three of them were a little surprised, but they quickly rolled their eyes at her and turned their heads to ignore her. They did not pay attention to her as a woman at all.
One of them sneered in a low voice: "There are so many strange things these days. Even women have gone out to work as part-time workers. I don't know what kind of work her thin arms and legs can do."
After saying this, the three of them looked at each other and laughed twice.
To be honest, Qin Yao has not heard this harsh sound for a long time.
In the last days, everyone relies on their strength to speak. No one would dare to bully even a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
Because anyone who can survive in such a harsh environment, even an eighty-year-old woman, has her own means of making a living.
Medical skills, or knowing how to plant, there will always be times when you just need them!
Shunzi really doesn’t want to endure it now, otherwise how will he explain to his third brother when he goes back?
He is not afraid of a fight. He raises his fist to knock down the one who speaks harshly.
He never expected that the person next to him would take action faster than him.
