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

Qu Jingyao took out a five-liang gold ingot from her bosom and placed it on the counter: "According to this, it doesn't matter what kind."

The waiter picked up the gold ingot and nodded with an apologetic smile. After saying a few polite words, he turned around and walked towards the back of the shop.

Qu Qingchen then walked to his sister's side and whispered to her, "Little sister, our ox cart can't hold all the food, and besides..."

Qu Jingyao knew his concerns very well, but if they didn't make more preparations now, they would be helpless in the face of the changing situation.

It is not certain whether the crops can survive to maturity. Even though there is a lot of land in the valley, it is not enough for my brother to do it alone!

Qu Jingyao calmly sorted out everything and slowly explained to her brother. Just when the brother and sister were chatting enthusiastically, the waiter came running back in a hurry.

"Girl, the food is ready for you. How do you want to settle it?"

Qu Jingyao thought for a moment and asked him, after all, she was a frequent customer of the shop, so could the goods be delivered to her door?

"Of course I can. But where does the girl live?"

"Lingshui Village!"

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, the waiter said that he would go to the backyard and ask the shop assistants to harness the cart.

Qu Jingyao turned her head and raised an eyebrow at her brother. Qu Qingchen didn't expect that his sister could solve the problem with just a few words. He thought that since their father left, his sister seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, making him, as a brother, somewhat useless.

Soon, with the appearance of the waiter, Qu Jingyao and his sister followed him to the back door of the store.

The waiter at the door had already loaded all the food onto the cart. Qu Jingyao and his sister got on the carriage and instructed the waiter to drive out of the alley.

When the carriage arrived at the front street, she shouted to stop and told her brother to follow her back to the village first. She and Brother Dashan followed behind in the ox cart.

"Be careful, brother. We will catch up soon." After she finished speaking, she jumped off the carriage nimbly.

The Liu family members who were waiting in front of the grain store were a little anxious when they saw that no one had come out yet. Just as they were about to order Bai Guo to go and take a look, Qu Jingyao actually walked up from the other side.

"Mom, I'm back. Brother Dashan, let's go home."

Dashan looked at the empty space behind her in surprise and asked, "Aren't you waiting for Qingchen anymore?"

She shook her head and explained that her brother had gone ahead with the grain cart and they had to catch up quickly.

Upon hearing this, Dashan hurriedly led the ox and turned the cart around, heading towards the city gate.

"Yaoyao, your brother..."

"Mom, the food has been bought. I'll have the people at the grain store deliver it home. My brother is with him, don't worry."

Liu finally felt relieved. Lingling asked her in a low voice: how much did she buy? Is it expensive?

Qu Jingyao smiled mysteriously and said that there was enough food to eat, so she could rest assured. She would sell herself to him from now on.

Unexpectedly, her joke made Lingling serious. With a serious face, she put her hands on Qu Jingyao's shoulders and made her face to face with her.

"Yaoyao, if I could, I really want to sell myself to you! To repay your kindness!"

The corners of Qu Jingyao's mouth twitched, and black lines appeared on his forehead. He reached out and looked at her forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who asked you to repay me?"

Liu said to Lingling in a reproachful tone that she must not say such words again. Their family had helped the mother and son a lot in the village, and if they were to talk about repaying the favor, they would be confused.

As soon as the words were spoken, several people burst into laughter.

Dashan drove the ox cart quickly to catch up with the horse carriage in front. The ox hooves were smoking, and they soon returned to Lingshui Village.

Qu Jingyao was the first to be helped off the carriage by Baiguo and walked straight towards the gate of the yard. At this time, the servants and her brother were carrying food.

Dashan quickly tied the ox cart to the door and rushed forward to help. He was stunned by the food on the cart. How much silver would it cost?

"Mom, you guys go in first."

As they were talking, Aunt Cui Lian in the room heard the noise and walked out of the main room.

"Oh! Is this food?"

Liu smiled and nodded slightly. Lingling immediately rushed to her mother's side, hugged her arms, and blinked mysteriously:

"Mother, guess how the pearl flowers are selling today?"

Aunt Cuilian reached out and poked her forehead, rolling her eyes and saying, "They must have all been sold."

"It's not fun. How did you guess it so quickly, Mom?" Lingling pouted and looked at Qu Jingyao, only to see her laughing helplessly.

Soon Qu Qingchen sent the clerk from the grain shop away. When Dashan was about to leave, Qu Jingyao called her brother and moved four bags of grain onto the ox cart. Aunt Cui Lian hurried forward to stop him.

"That's unacceptable. Food is so precious right now! How can we..."

"Aunt, don't refuse. This was bought by Lingling. She paid it to me with her wages." As Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Aunt Cui Lian stared at her daughter in disbelief. The child didn't even discuss it with her. How much silver would so much food cost?

When Dashan saw his mother looking at his sister with a blaming look, he hurried forward to explain that the decision was his and had nothing to do with his sister, and that he would return the money to his sister Yao later.

The brother and sister were arguing over it, both claiming that they had acted on their own.

Aunt Cui Lian sighed helplessly. As a mother, she knew very well the personalities of her two children, but right now the family really couldn't afford so much money to buy food.

Yesterday, some villagers came to borrow grain. Due to her responsibility as the head of the village, the wife lent half of the limited grain at home without even discussing it with her.

She also cried for a long time last night, and I think the two children heard it.

Just as the mother and her two children were in a stalemate, Xu Lizheng hurriedly walked in from outside the yard with a look of joy on his face.

"Yao girl, Qingchen boy, you are both here! I just happened to have already done this today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the land deed and the handwritten document with the government seal from his pocket and walked forward.

"Hey, what are you three doing?"

"Your good daughter and son asked Yao to buy hundreds of kilograms of food." Aunt Cui Lian said helplessly.

Xu Lizheng looked at his other two children in surprise: "What? The price of grain has gone up so much, how can we let Yao girl..."

At this moment, Xu Lingling was afraid of his father's serious face, so he hid behind his mother. Dashan also lowered his eyes at this moment.

Qu Jingyao quickly stepped forward to explain:

"Uncle Village Head, here's the thing. The price of grain in town is rising higher and higher. It's better to stock up early. It's also best to dig a cellar in the yard and hide all the food in the house to prevent any accidents."

Xu Lizheng looked at the four bags of grain and sighed, wondering when he would be able to repay this favor.

Qu Jingyao joked that these foods were paid for by Lingling with her future wages, so there was no question of favoritism.

"Right, Lingling, you've sold yourself to me?"

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Xu Lingling nodded vigorously with a serious look on her face. Liu, who was standing beside her, nodded her daughter's head in an annoyed manner, reminding her not to talk nonsense.

Aunt Cui Lian was open-minded. She reached out and pulled her daughter towards Qu Jingyao, and told her with a smile that if the girl was disobedient in the future, she would be beaten.

Dashan, with his head down, laughed out loud without any hesitation.

"Mother...Brother...you guys..."
