“However, I also know about your family’s situation. It’s not good to take your stuff for free.”
As she spoke, Big Girl Li literally took out a handful of copper coins from her pocket.
“You take this.” She then stepped forward and shoved the copper coins into Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.
She had given her thirty copper coins, which was a little too much. After all, the pheasant and the feathers were probably only a little more than two catties.
However, she did not dare to take advantage of Qin Sanya.
When Qin Xiaoyao saw so many copper coins, she quickly rejected the offer.
“I said it’s a gift. Who wants your money?” With a little more strength, she pushed the money back to Big Girl Li.
Big Girl Li was pushed back two steps, but she didn’t dare to come forward again because of Qin Xiaoyao’s strength.
Holding the copper coins, she was in a dilemma.
“Hey, erm… Sanya…”
“Yes?” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
She didn’t know what Big Girl Li was trying to do by being so evasive.
Big Girl Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao again. Finally, she made up her mind and spoke up.
“What happened in the past… are all in the past now.”
“In the past… erm, I was silly and not sensible. Can you don’t hold it against me?” As she spoke, Big Girl Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a pleading look.
Qin Xiaoyao was quite puzzled and didn’t quite get what Big Girl Li was trying to say.
“What were you not sensible about in the past?” she asked Big Girl Li.
Big Girl Li’s face turned pale.
Then, her face turned red again.
“It’s about… about your Song family… Eldest Son Song’s matter,” she said in embarrassment.
Qin Xiaoyao paused in deep thought.
Then she recalled some memories of her predecessor and seemed to understand.
Then, she immediately looked at Big Girl Li with displeasure.
“You’re already married to Liu Daniu, yet you’re still hankering after my husband?” Her voice was filled with displeasure.
“No… not anymore!” Big Girl Li said quickly.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyao’s guarded expression, Big Girl Li quickly explained, “There’s really nothing anymore! Ever since I got married to Daniu, I’ve only wanted to lead a good life with him. I don’t want anyone else!”
“I came to find you because I wanted to clear up this matter with you. I hope we can resolve our past grudges.”
“In the future, we’ll mind our own business and not bother each other. What do you think?” After she said that, Big Girl Li didn’t dare to look at Qin Xiaoyao anymore. Her eyes were filled with guilt.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Big Girl Li a few times and had an idea of what was going on.
The social norms in ancient times were not as liberal as they were during the apocalypse. Although Big Girl Li was bold before marriage, now that she was married, it was indeed unlikely that she would still hanker after her husband.
So… she was here to draw a clear line?
“Of course not.” Qin Xiaoyao quickly rejected the offer.
Big Girl Li’s expression immediately turned into one of fear.
“Then… then what do you want?”
Seeing Qin Xiaoyao’s evil smile, Big Girl Li forced herself to suppress the terror in her heart.
“No matter what you say, my Daniu won’t believe you. No one in this Brook Falls Village will believe you!”
Qin Xiaoyao laughed with amusement.
“Then why are you so nervous?”
“I… how am I nervous?” Big Girl Li pretended to be calm.
“Hehe! Not nervous?” Qin Xiaoyao looked like she was taunting a cat.
“Then I’ll go look for Daniu and tell him about your past.” Qin Xiaoyao pretended that she was about to walk off.
Big Girl Li’s expression drastically, and she quickly reached out to stop her.
“Don’t… Sister Sanya, I’ll call you Sister! I admit defeat. Just take it that I have lost!”
“Please be compassionate. Don’t go and look for my Daniu!” Big Girl Li was about to cry.
Pitted against Qin Xiaoyao in a contest of martial arts, she could never beat her. In terms of cruelty, she was also no match for her.
In short, she could only be bullied by Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao felt somewhat pleased when she heard Big Girl Li call her ‘Sister’. It felt a little like she had taken in a junior team member during the apocalypse.
Immediately after, she looked at Big Girl Li in a more friendly manner.
“It’s fine if you don’t want me to go to your Daniu.” Qin Xiaoyao said after some thought.
Big Girl Li felt as if she had been granted a reprieve.
“Thank you, thank you, Sister Sanya!” she quickly thanked her profusely.
“Then you have to listen to me from now on.”
Big Girl Li was shocked, and she looked terrified once more.
“Don’t worry. I won’t ask you to do anything bad.” Qin Xiaoyao immediately glared at Big Li with annoyance.
Seeing Big Girl Li’s disbelieving face, Qin Xiaoyao decided to just tell her the truth.
“I found some good stuff in the mountains, and I can’t complete the task alone. You, and your Daniu, come with me to help out.”
“It’s just a day’s work. I’ll pay both of you a hundred copper coins as wages after it’s done!”
A salary of a hundred copper coins for two workers was considered low wages in town.
However, they were in the countryside. If they could earn a hundred copper coins every day, there would probably be many people who wanted to do it.
“Serious… seriously?” Big Girl Li didn’t quite believe it.
She found something good in the mountains?
There were good things in the mountains?
“Of course I’m serious. If you don’t believe me, I can give you twenty copper coins as a deposit upfront.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao reached for her money bag.
Big Girl Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao’s money bag, but she didn’t stop her.
If she could really earn a hundred copper coins, of course she would be happy to.
Although their family’s situation was much better than the Song family’s, they were all from the same village, and they made a living by farming. How much better could their lives be?
If she could earn this one hundred copper coins, she would be able to buy a few catties of meat to satisfy her family’s hunger.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t say anything when she saw Big Girl Li’s expression.
She counted out twenty copper coins and gave them to Big Girl Li straightaway.
“You two prepare two sets of sickles and hoes. Wait for me at the foot of the back mountain after breakfast tomorrow.”
Big Girl Li took the copper coins and couldn’t believe her eyes.
Qin Sanya was giving her money?
“Oh, alright.” She answered subconsciously.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth curled up. “Alright, see you tomorrow then!”
After speaking, she patted Big Girl Li’s shoulder, walked around her, and left.
After making a few turns on the village path, Qin Xiaoyao finally reached home.
Song Ye, who was playing in the courtyard, was the first to notice Qin Xiaoyao’s return.
“Sister-in-law!” he shouted.
Looking at Qin Xiaoyao’s appearance, he was a little happy but also a little scared.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t take it to heart. With a smile on her face, she removed the bamboo backpack from her back and took out a skewer of candied hawthorn.
“Ye’er is such a good boy! Look at what Sister-in-law bought you!” Then, she took the candied hawthorn and walked toward Song Ye.
When Song Ye saw the candied hawthorn, his eyes lit up with joy.
There was no longer any fear in his eyes as he immediately ran toward Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao was so amused by Song Ye that she handed the candied hawthorn to him and picked this little brother-in-law up.
This was the scene that Song Yun saw when she came out of the kitchen.
“Sister-in-law…” She quickly called out when she saw Qin Xiaoyao looking in her direction.
Qin Xiaoyao gave a hearty laugh.
“Yun’er is a good girl too!” As she said that, she carried Song Ye and headed for the kitchen.
Seeing Song Yun staring at the candied hawthorn in Song Ye’s hands with envy, Qin Xiaoyao was somewhat overjoyed inwardly.
Qin Xiaoyao only put Song Ye down when she reached the kitchen.
Following that, she put down her backpack and took out four candied hawthorns.
However, one skewer was missing two balls, which had been eaten.
Looking at her mother-in-law’s surprised expression, Qin Xiaoyao began to divide the candied hawthorn.
“Before I left the town, I met a man selling candied hawthorn. At that time, he only had five candied hawthorns left.”
