The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

The Qin family didn't have much land, only about six or five acres.

Because of the poor harvest, after deducting the taxes paid to the court, there was barely enough food to last through the winter.

Not to mention that these eggs are rare, that bucket of rice was bought last time when I expected Qin Ziyan to come back.

Now that it's in Qin Ruo's belly, Old Lady Qin wants to beat Qin Ruo to death.

Qin Ruo didn't care about Old Lady Qin. She had finished eating anyway, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and left.

Qin Zimu was also full. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten such a hearty breakfast since Qin Huaizheng lost contact. The key point was that he was full.

Qin Zimu touched his belly contentedly, burped, and quickly covered his mouth with a guilty look on his face.

Seeing that no one noticed him, he quietly followed Qin Ruo out of the kitchen.

"Stop right there, you evil creature! Let's not talk about you stealing rice and eggs. Tell me, why didn't you make breakfast? Did you deliberately let Dalang starve?"

Old Mrs. Qin is used to giving orders in this family and her words are her final word.

In the eyes of Old Lady Qin, Qin Ruo's behavior this morning was a naked provocation to her.

"Steal? This month, I have hunted in the mountains and done odd jobs. I have earned at least one tael of silver. Six hundred coins can buy a stone of rice. What? Am I not worthy of a meal of white rice? How many eggs?"

"As for making breakfast, you also have hands and feet, but you still expect me to feed you? If Qin Qiuxi dies, will you all starve to death?"

There was no warmth in Qin Ruo's eyes as she stared straight at Old Lady Qin.

"Don't be so unreasonable. What doesn't require money in the family? Dalang's tuition, writing brushes, paper, clothes, gifts, what doesn't require money?"

Old Mrs. Qin blurted out what she had said with confidence, but then she felt something was wrong.

When Qin Ruo mentioned the one or two taels of silver, Old Lady Qin felt somewhat guilty.

Because what Qin Ruo said was true, those wild animals plus the wages were worth more than one or two taels of silver.

When she got the money, Old Lady Qin bought a bucket of white rice, two buckets of brown rice, some oil and salt, and immediately started buying new winter clothes and shoes for Qin Ziyan.

But he completely forgot to buy some winter clothes for Qin Qiuxi and Qin Zimu.

"Heh, what does this have to do with me? Did you spend all the money on Qin Qiuxi? Or on Hua Erlang?" Qin Ruo said with a sarcastic expression.

Qin Ziyan watched coldly from the side. Usually he didn't need to say anything for matters like this, as Old Lady Qin would step forward.

But the more he looked at Qin Ruo, the weirder he felt. It was clearly a familiar face, yet it seemed so strange no matter how he looked at it.

Old Mrs. Qin looked aggrieved, but she was speechless.

Once Dalang passes the imperial examination and enters the official career, he will become the Qin family's greatest support. What did Dalang do wrong?

Even if there is no one in the family who is educated, the older brothers and sisters will be given priority when there is anything. Aren’t all the girls in Changhe Village like this?

This little girl of mine went into the mountains yesterday and acted like she was possessed by a ghost. She kept contradicting me and going against Dalang.

Old Mrs. Qin had just made a solemn promise in front of Qin Ziyan, but Qin Qiuxi had already realized her mistake and took the initiative to lower her head to make breakfast.

She didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon. Old Mrs. Qin felt even more ashamed.

Qin Ruo didn't think about continuing to argue with Old Lady Qin. After eating, she went back to her room and continued to pretend to be dead.

Old Mrs. Qin had no idea what to do with Qin Ruo, so she had to hold back her anger and start making breakfast for Qin Ziyan.

Qin Ziyan was not in a good mood as he got up early but didn't have breakfast.

Seeing that Old Lady Qin was at a disadvantage, he curled his lips, turned around and went back to his room.

No matter how angry Old Lady Qin was, she was helpless against Qin Ruo, who was like a piece of chopping block.

Three days passed in a flash, and Old Lady Qin took the responsibility of cooking.

The main reason was that she was afraid that Qin Ruo would waste food, and she also didn't dare to prepare special meals for Qin Ziyan.

Because Qin Ruo had said that she would eat whatever Qin Ziyan ate.

Otherwise, don't eat it.

Old Mrs. Qin originally planned to secretly kill the remaining two pheasants and feed them to Qin Ziyan.

Qin Ruo broke the necks of the two pheasants in front of her with an expressionless face.

After staring at Qin Ziyan sinisterly for a long time, Old Lady Qin suddenly gave up all her thoughts.

When Old Lady Qin thought of Qin Ruo's eyes, she felt a chill on her back.

She was even more afraid that Qin Ruo would give up her work and never go into the mountains again, which would be even more of a headache for the family as they had no income.

Qin Ruo didn't care what Old Lady Qin thought. She just ate and slept every day, and was completely exhausted.

Three days later, Qin Ruo's wound had healed.

She decided to go out for a walk. The weather was getting colder and colder, and this thin old quilt was really not cold-resistant.

Got to get the money.

When Qin Ruo was about to go out, Old Lady Qin shyly took out a pair of new cloth shoes and handed them to her.

"Girl, I bought this for you in the village yesterday. It cost me more than ten cents..."

Qin Ruo did not answer, but glanced at Qin Zimu who was standing beside her. In Qin Zimu's eyes there was not only envy but also a hint of loneliness.

"Erlang, Erlang has one too. It's in the house. I'll get it right away."

Seeing that Qin Ruo didn't move, Old Lady Qin hurried into the house and took out a pair of new shoes and handed them to Qin Zimu.

Qin Zimu thanked him quietly, took his shoes and ran back into the house.

Qin Ruo then took the shoes from Old Lady Qin's hand. Why didn't she want new shoes? Why should she wear these old and tattered ones with exposed toes?

She's not a masochist.

Qin Ruo changed her shoes and went straight out the door.

Old Mrs. Qin was carrying a backpack and hunting tools, and her eyes almost popped out as she looked at Qin Ruo's receding figure.

So this little girl had no intention of going into the mountains at all?

Old Mrs. Qin began to think that Qin Ruo was just throwing a tantrum and would be fine if she was coaxed.

So when I went to the county to buy things yesterday, I bought her a pair of new shoes.

I thought that since I had been humble and bought new shoes for that little girl, she should take the initiative to ask to go into the mountains today.

But I didn't know that the little girl would not listen to any persuasion, and I wasted more than ten cents in vain.

The backpack and tools were brought out for her, but she just played dumb and refused to listen.

In the past, it was obvious that as long as I gave her a little sweetness, she would listen to me.

What's wrong with that little bitch today?

It was not until Qin Ruo's back disappeared that Old Lady Qin started to curse at the top of her voice.

"You just wander around all day long. Don't you know that your family is almost broke? You little bastard, I think you deserve to be punished..."

After Old Lady Qin finished scolding, she felt much better.

When she turned around, she was startled to see Qin Zimu standing quietly behind her.

"You little bastard, are you trying to scare people to death?"

"What's that look in your eyes? If you dare to tell anyone that I scolded your sister, I will skin you alive." Old Mrs. Qin glared at Qin Zimu guiltily and turned back to the house.

After a while, Old Mrs. Qin came out of the house again and impatiently stuffed two candies into Qin Zimu's hands.

"Take it and eat it. Watch your mouth and don't talk nonsense."
