Liujia Village.

After dinner, Dalang and his two siblings came to the gate and stared at the entrance to the village, hoping to see A Niang.

Sanlang squatted on the ground, holding a stone in his hand, and drew a line on the ground: "My mother has been gone for four days."

Si Niang and the eldest and second brothers looked at each other and missed her!

After Liu Ji helped Gong Liangliao into the house to rest, he went out to look for the four children. He saw the four children all turned back and said to him sadly, "Dad, Mom has been gone for four days."

Liu Ji was stunned. It had only been four days?

Why did he feel that the evil woman had been away from home for half a month?

He was overjoyed on the first day the evil woman left.

The next day after the evil woman left, I felt a little dazed.

On the third day after the evil woman left, I missed her.

It’s the fourth day since the evil woman left. Damn, I still miss her!

"Cough cough!" Liu Ji was shocked by his own thoughts. He pretended to cough twice to wake himself up, and waved his hand to let the four little guys go into the house.

But seeing their pitiful appearances with their heads hung low, I still consoled them: "Maybe they will be back tomorrow."

The four siblings looked at their father helplessly. Erlang counted on his fingers:

"It takes two days to get to the capital, at least another two days to discuss matters, and another two days to return. If my mother returns alone, the earliest she can do so is the day after tomorrow. How did you learn arithmetic, father? Don't you understand this?"

Saburo repeated: "Don't you understand this?"

Si Niang innocently said: "Don't you understand?"

Liu Ji took a deep breath, looked at these unfilial sons, suppressed the anger that was rising to his head, gritted his teeth and said:

"You all want to rebel, don't you? Go back to your rooms and go to sleep!"

Dalang sighed helplessly, "Father, please don't use bad words. This is not the behavior of a gentleman."

Liu Ji raised his hand as if to hit them, and the four brothers and sisters ran away.

The yard suddenly became deserted. Liu Ji looked at the sky, the ground, and then at his raised hand. He put it down reluctantly and glanced at the empty house. He suddenly felt that today was a little incomplete as he had not been scolded or beaten.

Awang appeared like a ghost, "Master, the hot water is ready."

Seeing Awang, Liu Ji suddenly seemed to have seen a savior, and grabbed Awang's hand, "Come on, slap me, slap me hard, don't be polite."

As he said this, he grabbed Awang's hand and was about to hit himself in the face.

Hey? I can't pull it!

Awang pulled his hand out expressionlessly, took two steps back, and looked the master who was willing to be beaten up suspiciously, and asked tentatively: "Master, do you want Awang to call a doctor for you?"

Liu Ji looked at Awang's hand as he pulled it away, and his heart suddenly felt empty. Finally, he slapped himself, but strangely, he did not feel satisfied, but felt even more empty.

Awang, who was watching the whole process, was deeply shocked!

When his wife comes back, he will tell her that the master seems to be seriously ill.

“A-choo!”

Qin Yao, who had left the convoy alone and was still traveling at night, suddenly sneezed because of the cold wind behind her.

Rub your nose and everything will be fine again.

"Could it be that Liu Ji is causing trouble for me again?" Qin Yao murmured suspiciously.

The only response she got was the horse's tired snort of protest.

Qin Yao looked up and saw the town in front of her, with a few lights scattered across the sky. She quickly patted Lao Huang and said, "Hold on, I'll make you something delicious when we get to the inn."

The horse seemed to understand human nature and started running again, carrying her to the shabby inn in the town and refused to move even a step.

Qin Yao got off the horse with a smile, went into the inn and booked a room. She rested there for a night, set off early the next morning, and arrived at Jinshi Town at noon.

When passing the Dingjiazhuang fork in the road, Qin Yao suddenly remembered the good piece of land that the village chief had told her about last time.

Although I knew that the owner of this good land had most likely already sold it, I still turned around and wanted to take a look.

The sorghum and rice originally planted in the fields have all been harvested, leaving only bare piles of roots in the fields.

The fields next to it had been plowed by the owner, ready for wheat planting, but these 70 acres of good land had not yet been plowed.

Qin Yao felt a little strange. Why did it look like no one was taking care of it?

Looking closely, I found a bamboo pole erected in the middle of the field, with a white flag hanging on the pole, and some red and yellow runes on the flag.

Qin Yao had never seen these things before, so she didn't understand what was going on. She looked at the fertile land with envy before riding her horse back to the village.

This time when I went to the provincial capital, I settled the balance of two thousand taels of silver for the previous order of magical book boxes.

After deducting the rewards for the workers and managers and the business taxes, there was still 1,500 taels of silver left.

She and Carpenter Liu split it equally, each getting 750 taels of silver.

But because the orders for stationery gift boxes and new book boxes still require capital investment, she and Carpenter Liu each have to set aside 250 taels of silver, a total of 500 taels to be used as working capital in the factory's accounts.

So in the end, she only had 500 taels of silver left to use.

This time, he bought a lot of things in the city, spending ten taels of silver. After deducting the five taels of silver for Liu Jijian's study and some food expenses for the guests, the original savings balance in the family was only three hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Now with the new five hundred taels deposited into the account, the total is eight hundred and eighty taels!

After finishing the calculation in her mind, Qin Yao smiled.

Looking back at those acres of fertile farmland, I feel even more regretful.

On a sudden impulse, he stopped his horse and turned into Wangjiazhuang.

"Wang Mawu! Are you home?"

Qin Yao stopped in front of Wang Mawu's courtyard and roared with full energy.

The sound was so penetrating that it startled Wang Mawu, who was taking a nap on the couch, so much that he jumped up on the spot. His fat body trembled back and forth, and he was almost dizzy.

After finally coming to his senses, he looked suspiciously at the servants kneeling beside him and asked, "Did you hear Madam Qin's voice?"

The servant nodded nervously, "My lord, I think I heard it."

"As if? What does as if mean?" Wang Mawu's heart was instantly raised, and he asked angrily: "Did you hear it or not?"

The servant hurriedly responded: "I heard it!"

Wang Mawu listened carefully but heard no sound. Just as he was about to scold them for talking nonsense, the familiar shouting sounded again.

"Wang Mawu! If you don't say anything I'll come in by myself!"

Qin Yao banged the door knocker.

Behind the door, the servants and thugs in the yard instantly felt like they were facing a great enemy. Holding sticks, they nervously looked at the door that looked heavy, but in fact it could not withstand Qin Yao's attack at all. Their scalps were tingling, and they didn't know why this evil star suddenly came to their door.

"Here it comes! Madam Qin, please spare my front door!"

Wang Mawu, with his fat body shaking, wiped the sweat off his face, and ran towards the gate at full speed with the help of his servants.

The door creaked open, but cautiously only opened a third of the way, revealing Wang Mawu's flattering face. "Why did Madam Qin come to visit?"

Amitabha, the Infinite True Lord, please do not come here to cause trouble! (End of this chapter)
