After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"Mrs. Qian, I'm absolutely unworthy of this. Please don't be polite to me." The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand and said, "I know the people you brought with you. The master of our shop is actually a half-apprentice taught by them. I have absolute confidence in their skills."

Qian Fengping breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Chen and the others.

After all, Chen was the daughter-in-law of the village chief, so she reacted the fastest and immediately took the lead in bowing to the shopkeeper: "Hello, shopkeeper. I will trouble you to take care of me in the future."

When the others saw this, they hurriedly followed suit. Although their greetings were a bit awkward, their attitudes were sincere.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said a few polite words.

Qian Fengping felt relieved after settling the people. Before leaving, she pulled Xiaoya, the youngest sister of Erwa, to talk to her: "Don't be afraid. From now on, you and your sisters-in-law will go to the city together every day. If you encounter something you don't know how to do while working, just ask more."

The little girl's face flushed and she nodded honestly. She was only eleven years old.

At this age, it’s okay to call Qian Fengping aunt, but Erwa is Fang Tong’s brother, so she is of the same generation.

"Thank you, Sister Qian. I'm not afraid."

She was speaking from the heart. She had been working in the Qin family for some time and had become familiar with Mrs. Chen and the others.

It's not like she came to the county town to work alone, there are so many people accompanying her.

And, most importantly, she knew that Aunt Qian asked them to work in the shop because she had found them a long-term and stable job.

A good thing that others can't get even if they ask for it.

For example, the bakers in today's shops have to sell themselves before they can learn the craft and work. They are like servants.

But they didn't, they just signed a document.

"Okay, then you guys do your job well, I'll leave first." Qian Fengping was relieved.

Since Mrs. Chen and the others are here today, they can’t come for nothing. They have to show off in the store.

Before leaving, Qian Fengping asked the shopkeeper to tell her boss that there would be a banquet at home the day after tomorrow and if the boss was free, he should come and enjoy the banquet.

The shopkeeper agreed repeatedly.

Although there are many things to do at home, they are all proceeding in an orderly manner.

In a blink of an eye, the three-day deadline was up.

Fang Tong was still thinking that if there was no movement in the afternoon, he would take his son for a walk in the evening.

Unexpectedly, the Qin family was quite proactive. Qin Gaofei came in person to invite people.

This time, it was quite lively at the home of Patriarch Qin. The elders who were in charge of the clan had arrived, and there was also a man from each family.

Qin Yan and his son were arranged to sit on the right side, just below the elders.

This treatment shows the attitude of the Qin family.

Patriarch Qin sat on the upper hand and knocked the ground with his cane, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone knows that our Qin family has produced a promising young man. Qin Yan passed the examination for Tongsheng and even topped the list. Another talented scholar also passed the examination for Tongsheng. This is a great joyous event and a sign of prosperity for the Qin family."

"So, today, let's open the ancestral hall and tell our ancestors about this great event. We also ask them to continue to bless the two children and take them to a higher level! Let's take our Qin family even further."

"it is good!"

Immediately, some tribesmen responded, their eyes full of excitement, and they couldn't wait to kowtow to their ancestors a dozen times.

Fang Tong rolled his eyes inwardly. This little nagging fellow was actually trying to take the Qin family up the ladder? What? It's yours.

Qin Yan was very calm. Everyone can say nice things, but whether they can do it is another matter.

He didn't believe that, given the shrewdness of the Qin clan leader, he would be willing to let his brother take the imperial examination under the pressure of the entire clan.

"Then the second thing is that the clan members have had a hard time these years. Brother Yan is a good man, and Qian is also a good daughter-in-law of our Qin family. In order to help everyone, they lent a lot of things to the clan members."

"Now that the disaster is over and life is better, the tribesmen are willing to return their belongings. Some have even paid money to compensate for their lost possessions."

"Today, everything will be returned to Brother Yan."

As soon as Chief Qin finished speaking, Qin Gaofei and others came in carrying a large box.

Fang Tong's eyes lit up. Could it be a box of silver? Is the Qin family so rich?

That is of course impossible, the Qin family is not a noble family.

When the box was opened, there was a piece of red cloth on the top, and wrapped in the red cloth were copper coins, which were the money that Qian had lent out over the years.

A total of three thousand five hundred coins.

Under the red cloth, there is everything, such as iron pots, spoons, wooden basins, etc.

That’s right, people in the countryside are so simple that they don’t even dare to take advantage of others.

Borrowing two taels of money directly like Xiao Heshi is asking for too much.

"By the way, there is still half an acre of paddy field." Chief Qin looked at the person standing on the left.

Qin Juefei's face was ashen, but he still stood up. He said reluctantly: "In the past few years, my brothers and I have seen my sister-in-law taking care of the children. It's not easy for the two of us to farm the land, so we helped to plant a small piece."

"Now that Brother Yan has grown up, it's natural for this land to be returned to him."

Fang Tong couldn't help but curl his lips. The people of the Qin family were so shameless that they could lie with their eyes open?

Bullying women and children is considered caring?

He didn't know that these two sentences were taught by Patriarch Qin himself last night.

He forced the man to recite it for half the night, and only let him go after making sure he had memorized it.

At this time, Chief Qin looked at Qin Yan, who was sitting as still as a mountain, and sighed, this kid is really different, he can really keep his composure.

He coughed violently.

Qin Juefei could only grit his teeth and add: "As for the food from that piece of land in the next few years, I will send it to Brother Yan's home in a while."

After saying this, his heart was bleeding.

It would be fine if he just returned the land, but paying for the grain is really cutting into his flesh.

After all, the winter wheat has not been harvested yet and the spring planting has just started. What will we eat in the next few months?

Qin Yan finally raised his eyelids and glanced at him, saying calmly, "Uncle, we are from the same clan and share the same blood. Who hasn't made mistakes? I'm a junior, so naturally I won't hold it against you."

What this means is that the so-called "helping with farming" is not recognized.

Patriarch Qin's face looked a little unhappy.

Is this kid trying to tear off the last layer of his skin? The clan has already made its position clear, so why is he still unwilling to give in?

"You don't have to pay back the harvest from the past few years. My father will go and take a look at that piece of land later." Qin Yan continued.

Hearing this, Qin Juefei was delighted, but couldn't help feeling a little moved and guilty.

"Really? To be honest, my uncle's family is in a difficult situation. We have many children and little land. Otherwise, he wouldn't do such a wicked thing."

Before Chief Qin could stop him, Qin Juefei made a conclusion about the matter.

Those hypocritical words I just said have become a complete joke.

He held his forehead and wondered what to do if his tribesmen were too stupid.

But he was also satisfied in his heart. Qin Yan did not ask for the harvest in the past few years, which showed that he still had feelings for the tribe.

"Of course. I remember that my father had a good relationship with my uncle when he was alive. If my uncle's family is in trouble, I should help him." Qin Yan smiled on his face, but there was not much fluctuation in his heart.

He was talking nonsense.
