Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Old Lady Xu got off the kang, put on her slippers, ran to the main room and started scolding. She was so confident that even a young man could not compare to her.

"You lazy bitch, isn't the meal ready yet? Are you trying to starve me to death?"

"Mom, I'm hungry." Qu Huaer also walked out of the house at this time, rubbing her stomach with an unhappy look on her face.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xu cursed even more loudly. When the mother and daughter in the kitchen heard the curses, their faces instantly darkened.

Wu's face was gloomy and her eyes flashed with resentment, but she had to respond, "Mother, it's done, the meal is being served, please wait."

"This damn old thing is really no good."

After Wu finished speaking, she called her daughter and they started to get busy.

Compared with the Qu family, the Liu family's courtyard was much more peaceful at this time.

The aunts in the village had all left. Liu, her daughter and Baiguo spread the quilt on the kang. The yard was not big. Apart from the main house and the west house, there were also the living room and the kitchen.

"Let Baiguo and me sleep on this kang. Qingchen, you stay in the west room."

Liu handed the quilt to her son and reminded him to close the doors and windows at night, as it was still very cold in the morning and evening.

Liu calmed down and looked through the things her son brought down from the mountain, which included some cloth.

She wanted to make some clothes for Bai Guo, but she was wearing...

"Baiguo! How old are you? Do you know where you are from?" Liu asked curiously.

Qu Jingyao sat on the earthen kang, fiddling with her fingers quietly, listening to the conversation between her mother and Baiguo.

"Madam, I am fourteen years old this year. As for where I am from, I really don't remember." Bai Guo answered awkwardly.

Liu smiled and comforted her, saying it was okay. If she didn't mind, she could treat this place as her home in the future. They were not mean people.

"Madam, don't worry. I will. It is my blessing to meet such kind people like you and Miss. I will protect you well in the future."

As soon as Bai Guo finished speaking, Qu Jingyao asked her if she knew kung fu.

Liu looked over in surprise, and Bai Guo didn't intend to hide it. He explained that he had been wandering outside and met a lot of different people. He learned some martial arts from people in the martial arts world, so at least he could protect himself.

Hearing her calm words, Liu still felt a pang of heartache. This child had suffered a lot at such a young age.

"By the way, Miss, if possible, you should try to store more food."

After hearing Bai Guo's words, Qu Jingyao frowned and stared at her closely, her eyes burning with scrutiny. "Why?"

At this time, Liu also stopped cutting the cloth and looked at Bai Guo in confusion.

She calmly explained, "Miss, have you forgotten that I am just a beggar wandering the streets? Who knows the news of this world better than anyone else?"

Hearing Bai Guo's words, she nodded slightly, her soft hands supporting her chin as she began to think.

"Miss, fighting has broken out on the border. Since last year's lack of rain, the grain harvest in the north has been poor. Besides supplying the capital, the grain in the south will likely be requisitioned as military rations."

After hearing Bai Guo's words, Qu Jingyao realized that she had thought too simply. It seemed that the situation was much more serious than she had imagined.

She had to speed up and find a way to earn some money first, otherwise it would be difficult to take out the money in the space.

Liu was also worried at this time, and the cloth in her hands was wrinkled.

"Don't worry, Mom."

When it comes to making money, she lowered her eyes and thought about it. Suddenly, she saw the bag of rags under the earthen kang. There were many kinds of fabrics in it, and most of them were silk and brocade. It seemed that these were the scraps cut from making clothes.

"Mother, please give me the sewing basket."

Liu's face was full of suspicion. She handed over the sewing basket and watched her rummage through the bag of rags: "Yaoyao, what are you doing? Mother will help you..."

Qu Jingyao shook her head and said confidently that they would know soon.

Watching her spread the scraps of cloth on the kang and piece them together and cut them, Baiguo, who was standing beside her, became curious.

A quarter of an hour later, she showed the finished product to the two of them: "Dangdang... Mom, look what this is?"

Liu took it in surprise: "Pearl flower?"

"My mother is so smart that she guessed it right at once. Does it look good? Is it okay to sell it?" Qu Jingyao asked excitedly.

Liu looked at the cute round flowers in her hands, and asked her daughter in surprise when she learned this skill. It was really good, and it would definitely sell well in the town.

"Miss, this is much more exquisite than those sold in town. It will definitely be popular with young girls and wives."

Liu and Baiguo's words reassured her. She discussed with Liu about making more and taking them to the town to sell.

After hearing her words, Liu's face was filled with joy and she felt relieved. She had been worried about the future...

Mrs. Liu happily asked her daughter to teach her, saying that she could make a lot of things with so many scraps of cloth.

Bai Guo stood aside awkwardly: "Miss, this servant...this servant can't sew..."

Liu's mother and daughter burst out laughing.

"It's okay, if it doesn't happen then it won't happen."

Bai Guo scratched his head embarrassedly, then said to Qu Jingyao with a serious face: "But Miss, this servant knows some simple pharmacology."

Hearing her words, Qu Jingyao widened her eyes in surprise, and the mother and daughter looked at each other.

"Have I found a treasure?" Qu Jingyao said softly.

As the night grew darker, Qu Jingyao called out to her mother to stop working because it would hurt her eyes. Reluctantly, Liu put down the work in her hands and looked up at the sky outside.

"Okay, go take a shower and go to bed."

As soon as Liu finished speaking, Baiguo came into the room with hot water.

"Madam, the young lady should wash up before going to bed."

Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and looked at Baiguo, only to see her smiling at her with her clear eyes slightly narrowed. Liu packed up all the things on the kang and counted the finished products, and there were actually more than ten of them.

She rubbed her shoulders and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

Baiguo was stunned looking at Liu's smiling face. He didn't expect that the lady looked so beautiful when she smiled. It turned out that the young lady inherited her beauty from the lady.

At this time, Qu Jingyao handed the wrung-out handkerchief to Liu. Seeing that she was still counting the finished products like treasures, Qu Jingyao shook her head helplessly.

"Mom, wipe your face."

"Yaoyao, the temple fair at Huiyuan Temple on Qingyang Mountain will be held the day after tomorrow. We mother and I are just there to burn incense. Take these pearl flowers with you."

Liu discussed with her excitedly, and Qu Jingyao smiled and nodded, letting her make the decision.

I think it would be easier to sell things at the temple fair where there are so many people coming and going.

After the mother and daughter packed up, Baiguo walked out of the room carrying the basin.

"Miss and Madam, please lie down first. I will go to the kitchen to wash up and come back."

Qu Jingyao looked at Baiguo who walked out, her eyes flashed. She leaned over and lay down to communicate with Manman in the space, asking it to monitor what Baiguo was doing?
