MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 237 Remember to eat but not to fight

Chapter 237 Remember to eat but not to fight

 The dragon boat race ended and the crowds on the river bank gradually dispersed.

As the sky darkened, shelves made of bamboo poles were erected on the street. The clerks in restaurants and shops who were going to hold lantern riddle activities all hung up the lanterns they had prepared.

 As soon as it gets dark, they will all light up.

 In the narrow alley, a few men's wails could be heard from time to time.

The people passing by looked at it curiously, but their eyes were blocked by four children standing at the entrance of the alley.

The two youngest ones actually have exactly the same face. Their little faces are round and as cute as the dolls in the New Year pictures.

Seeing that Qin Yao, mother and son, were about to disappear, she staggered and said, "Let's go. If you're late for dinner, we won't be able to share in it!"

Liu Jin dared to hide it. He explained everything, except for last night's dinner and this morning's food money, the remaining four coins and his own private house of six hundred cents, a total of one or two cents, were all pledged.

But she didn’t say you’re not allowed to hide private money, so should you be able to hide some secretly?

 A family of six came to a goose noodle stall to dine.

Since she wasn’t beaten in the face, it seems that Aunt Yao’s attack was quite gentle.

Seeing passers-by stop curiously, the little girl with the same age as the painting raised her waist, tilted her head, and asked with her eyes wide open: "What are you looking at? Don't you need to go home for dinner?"

Qin Yao smiled and expressed understanding, and the two families separated.

 Then my mind started racing, I made two taels today, deducted one tael, and still made one tael.

Dalang was startled. He lifted up his father's sleeve and looked at it. He found that there was no trace of bruises at all. He asked suspiciously, "father, what is your name?" It didn't hurt at all.

The other two were slightly older, one stood motionless at the entrance of the alley, and the other looked back from time to time to glance into the alley where the screams came from, making tut-tsk sounds in his mouth, gloating about his misfortune.

By the way, I asked him how much money he deposited to the white flag.

When Sanlang and Si Niang saw A Niang coming out, they immediately gathered around her and asked her if she was hungry. They didn't even spare a glance to her biological father who was following her.

Liu Ji didn't dare to say a word, and silently helped serve noodles and add ingredients. His cautious look made Qin Yao frown.

　　The passers-by were startled by his glare and had no choice but to disperse.

The passers-by wanted to take a few more glances at the little girl, but the eldest one suddenly stood up and stared at them warily.

All the lanterns are lit, and colorful lanterns are hung in front of the shops around the river. Those lanterns are hung with small bamboo tubes, and the bamboo tubes contain lantern riddles.

It’s not that I’m not curious, it’s just that my energy has been exhausted from watching the dragon boat race during the day and I can’t hold on any longer.

 After finishing a delicious meal of goose noodles, the atmosphere between the couple relaxed.

Lanterns are not free. Small ones cost ten cents each, and large ones range from twenty to fifty cents.

At the entrance of the store, there are gifts, including rouge, gouache, jewelry and toys, which are dazzling.

He clearly heard the screams just now, but they were so loud that he covered his ears with fear. He was secretly glad that his mother-in-law never spanked children, otherwise he would have suffered.

Dalang stepped forward and found that his father's face was still as handsome as usual. Even because of the intense exercise, the ends of his eyes were flushed, making him even more flirtatious.

Qin Yao walked out of the dark alley with a flick of her wrist and shoulders shaking, feeling refreshed.

 “What are you mumbling about?”

While the two brothers were chatting, someone got angry and shouted in embarrassment, urging them to come over and help him.

 After more than half a stick of incense, the wailing inside finally stopped.

 “Da Lang Erlang, hold him up.” Qin Yao nodded her chin behind her. After receiving the reply that Da Lang Erlang knew, she led the twins in front.

　　Liu Ji sucked in the air-conditioning and rolled his eyes at his two sons, "Don't touch me!"

"Ah?" Erlang shook his head at his father's back, "What about the scientific examination in a few days?" How can I write with such an injury?

Dalang smiled lightly at his younger brother, "You don't understand this. It will be fine by the time the exam comes. It won't be delayed. Aunt Yao knows it well."

Dalang touched his chin and analyzed, "It should be an internal injury. It's not visible on the outside, but it hurts when you touch the bones. This technique is master-level and ordinary people can't do it. But for our Aunt Yao, It’s a small thing.”

"Hey." Liu Ji tried his best to smile, and squatted in the corner with the noodles to eat. His heart, which had been gradually rising in the past few days, now fell to the bottom again, and he did not dare to make any mistakes again.

“Next time you misappropriate public funds without telling me, I will chop off your hands!” Qin Yao warned.

But now it seemed that he was quite sensible, so he didn't say anything else.

 Liu Ji squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and promised with tears that he would never dare to do it again next time.

Liu Ji's whole body seemed to be in good condition. Erlang followed behind him, sizing up his father and scratching his head, "Brother, has my father been beaten?"

In addition, Liu Ji also got a copy of Qi Xianguan and sold it to a wealthy businessman on the spot in exchange for five taels of silver. A total of six taels of silver was recorded, so he was not beaten to death on the spot.

 Hey, he’s still awesome.

 “Dad, are you okay?”

Erlang: "Dad, didn't you just tell us not to touch you?"

But can Qin Yao still know about him?

 This man is one who cares about eating and not about beating.

The two brothers watched their stepmother take their younger brothers and sisters away first, and then looked back at Liu Ji who was leaning against the wall, staring blankly at the sky.

Dalang and Erlang shrugged, and each of them gently put their arms on each other, helping their father, who seemed to be fine but should be half-disabled, to chase after his stepmother and younger brothers and sisters.

Liu Ji took a deep breath to avoid being angered by this rebellious and unfilial son, and gritted his teeth and said:

 “You can do whatever the adults tell you to do. Why are children talking so closely to each other? Come here!”

Behind her, a staggering figure followed, making a hissing sound with each step. It was Liu Ji who had just received a heavy beating.

Qin Yao touched the little head of the twins, patted the warm money in her chest that Miss He had just given, and waved her hand, "Let's go and eat something delicious!"

 After the dragon boat race, Liu Li and Da Zhuang went back to the inn first. They did not participate in the lantern riddle guessing activity in the evening.

As soon as they separated, his smile instantly disappeared. He grabbed Liu Ji who was about to run away and went into a dark alley to beat him up.

The young boy looks about ten years old, but his dark eyes are more ferocious than the wolves in the mountains.

"You eat your food, I don't need anyone to wait on you." Qin Yao said with disgust.

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other and wanted to ask him if he wanted to help him, but seeing that he was walking very neatly, he swallowed his words and there was no need to ask for trouble.

 “Aniang!”

Hearing this, Qin Yao felt her face hurt. Yesterday, she told Erlang that she wanted to fly a kite. Today, Liu Ji gave her a 'surprise' and kicked him again immediately.

But just as he reached out to hold Liu Ji's arm, Liu Ji yelled out.

There is also the super luxurious one, which costs ten taels of silver and involves ten guessing puzzles. As long as you answer six or more correctly, you can choose the prize.

 The prizes over there are quite interesting, including jade ornaments, ceramic vases, glass lamps, and gold and silver hairpins, all of which are exquisitely crafted.
