Chapter 46: Money makes the world go round
Just when Xie Yunshu was doubting himself, Qi Man came out of the kitchen in a hurry, carrying a small bamboo basket with a piece of rose-red plaid cloth on it, which looked very textured. She handed the small bamboo basket to Xie Yunshu:
"Here, my second sister made a lot of dumplings this morning. They smell delicious."
Xie Yunshu didn't move and didn't reach out to take it.
The latter thought the man was embarrassed and said softly:
"I'm not giving this to you for free. If you have extra game when you go hunting in the mountains, you can share some with me. I will pay you according to the market price."
Everything in the space is good except that there are no living things. All it contains are first-class fresh meat.
For example, the meat of various mythical beasts in the world of immortality obtained by signing in, or the fish from the deep sea, are all very nutritious. If you give them to grandpa to eat, it may be counterproductive and he will be too weak to absorb the nourishment.
There was also some frozen meat in the space. She had eaten raw meat as hard as bricks in her previous life and was tired of it. She just wanted to eat something fresh.
It has not been long since my soul came here, and I just want to stay quiet for a while. When I have free time, I will go to the mountains around the village and catch some prey. I will definitely catch more than Xie Yunshu.
Xie Yunshu lowered his eyes and met Qi Man's eyes. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. The little girl had clear eyes and was looking at him expectantly. Her little head was just at the level of his chest.
He never thought that just a simple movement of looking up could make him, who had been silent for a long time, become so soft-hearted.
Fearing that the pair of star-like eyes would dim, Xie Yunshu took the small bamboo basket, his mouth twitched, and thousands of words turned into one word: "Okay."
Seeing Xie Yunshu take it, Qi Man's eyebrows curved and she smiled brightly: "Thank you for the trouble!"
Xie Yunshu looked at Qi Man deeply, picked up the small bamboo basket, turned around and walked towards the grove.
Qi Erya stood aside and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Was she seeing things?
My cousin actually gets along so well with Comrade Xie?
Qi Man had just closed the door and turned around to see Qi Erya standing in the yard with a broom, looking stunned.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Take a small repair pill and it will cure your illness.
Qi Erya's little head was like a rattle, and she said, "I just suddenly thought of something. Cousin, do I really not need to go to work?"
"No need." Qi Man said three short words and lay back on the hammock: "Make sure the hygiene is in place. I'll take you to the village chief to transfer your household registration. I'll go to the site this afternoon to take you to buy clothes."
If the village chief has any objections, she still has money.
As the old books say, money makes the world go round. This holds true no matter what era it is.
The sign-in system gives a lot of rewards every day, so even if she performs poorly, she doesn't need to worry about running out of money.
Hearing that there was an arrangement, Qi Erya stopped asking questions and swept the yard diligently.
Qi Man put the dumplings in the pot to keep them warm and waited for grandpa to get up and eat them, then she took Qi Erya out.
There was no sign of Qi Daya at the door.
The house they lived in was quite remote, and to get to the village chief's house they had to cross some fields. The two sisters were walking on the dam, and they looked a bit out of place among the villagers who were working in the fields with their heads down. Their appearance naturally attracted the attention of the villagers.
Qi Erya, who was standing behind Qi Man, a woman working not far away, nudged the people around her with her elbow and said:
"Hey, Daya, isn't this your Erya? Why is she following behind that girl Manman? I'm not saying anything, but Manman is the orphan of a martyr. Even if she does nothing, she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Your Erya is usually very clever, but why is she so confused today? She doesn't come and work honestly, but is following behind Manman instead, not doing her job properly."
Qi Daya straightened up, still holding the seeds in one hand, and the other hand was covered in mud. She looked at Qi Erya, who was following Qi Man happily, with an ugly expression on her face. She said sullenly, "My parents gave Erya to my cousin, and transferred her to my grandfather's name, or to my cousin's parents' name."
Originally she was one of them, but who knew that Qi Man was so stingy that she couldn't say a word and would get angry if someone said anything.
Just now, Qi Daya was kicked out and had nowhere to go, so she could only return to her original home in a daze.
Both Qi Laosan and his wife were injured and unable to go to work. His younger brother was lazy and had never done anything well, so he was spoiled to the sky by the couple.
Even lying in bed, he is unwilling to go to work to share some of the pressure.
Zeng Yueru was reluctant to let her precious son go to the fields, so she asked Qi Daya, who had just returned, to take his place. She asked Qi Daya to do the work of three people alone. If she couldn't complete the work points for the day, she would break Qi Daya's legs.
Qi Daya had a deep fear of her parents. No matter how unwilling she was, she still had to work honestly in the fields and earn work points.
However, she resented Qi Erya's betrayal. At home, the two of them were clearly on the same front.
She just slept for one night at her grandfather's house today, but she turned against him and was willing to follow a relative she was not very familiar with rather than her own sister.
Thinking of this, Qi Daya became angrier and angrier.
The woman was stunned when she heard this, then she laughed cheerfully and said, "Your parents are smart. They know that they can't support three children under the current conditions, so they actually thought of adopting Erya."
Qi Daya remained silent and lowered her head to continue sowing.
How could parents be willing to adopt a child? It was obvious that he was coerced and bribed by a two-faced person like Qi Man.
Seeing that Qi Daya didn't say anything, the woman didn't want to make trouble and just curled her lips.
Boring!
Lower your head and continue sowing.
Qi Man brought Qi Erya to the village chief's house.
Bai Jiachun had just finished his work and was covered in sweat. He was only wearing a white vest which was soaked with sweat. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, which were flowing down his forehead. He was sitting in the yard drinking water.
Chen Zhaojin was also busy in the yard.
The couple chatted animatedly, taking turns to talk.
As a result, Bai Jiachun turned around and saw Qi Man and Qi Erya standing at the door, and quickly stood up: "Hey, Manman and Erya are here?"
The God of Wealth is here!
Qi Man had a soft smile on her face. She handed over the bamboo basket in her hand and said softly, "Village Chief, I brought some dumplings for you and Auntie. They were all made by Erya. They are very delicious!"
When he heard that it was dumplings, Bai Jiachun was immediately happy and took it with a smile. The rich aroma of white flour mixed with the aroma of meat could be smelled even through a layer of cloth.
