After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

The two brothers, whose self-esteem was punctured, were not aware at all at this moment. They saw many more broken branches under the woods in front of them, and they were so happy that they ran over to pick them up.

Qin Yao stopped the two of them and asked them to come back and follow him up the mountain.

There are only a few small animals in the small forest where the villagers cut firewood. They are still safe when adults keep an eye on them.

Dalang and Erlang were a little confused, but they still followed her up the mountain.

Arriving halfway up the slope, Qin Yao chose a place with dense trees, threw the rope away, and asked her brother to wait in the relatively flat small open space, then picked up the hatchet and got into the bushes.

Qin Yao first cut down two tree branches and made a tripod wood stand for Dalang, then went deeper and chopped wood with a knife.

She was so fast that she threw firewood as thick as a child's arm from the grass one after another, and soon she accumulated a pile.

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other in surprise, so much firewood!

But soon, they discovered that this was too much.

Well, the stepmother must be planning to chop more and then slowly carry it home.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao tied up all the firewood that these strong men had to carry twice, tied it into two bundles, selected the thickest one as a pole, and picked it up directly.

She walked two steps in place and felt that the weight was not enough. She selected a few sticks from Dalang's firewood rack and stuffed them in. She felt that it was suitable and signaled the two brothers to carry their respective firewood racks and baskets and go home.

Dalang had never seen a three-legged firewood stand before. People in the village would tie up the firewood and carry it on their shoulders. Those with strong strength would carry it. He had never seen anyone using such a fork.

Qin Yao had no choice but to put down the burden, lift up the firewood frame and put it on Dalang's small shoulders, letting him hold his feet on both sides.

More than ten kilograms of firewood, the firewood rack dispersed the stress points from a single point to the entire shoulder. Dalang was surprised to find that it was much easier to carry.

The basket on his back was filled with fine firewood that Qin Yao had chopped off in advance. It was useful for igniting fires. It looked like the basket was full, but in fact it was not heavy, only eight or nine kilograms.

Erlang can carry it on his back.

Can you leave? Qin Yao asked.

The two brothers nodded, feeling the joy of harvest in their hearts.

Especially when I saw the two big bundles of firewood on Qin Yao's burden, I was both surprised and admired.

They have never seen anyone take on more responsibility than their stepmother!

The mother and son came down from the mountain and had to cross the fields in the village to get home.

The villagers first noticed the firewood lying across Dalang's shoulders. When they got closer, they found a fork holding the firewood. Dalang held on to the two extended legs and walked easily on his shoulders.

But the firewood is more than can be carried when tied up.

Why didn't they think of making a firewood stand before? It didn't look difficult, it was just a plank between two tree branches. It saves effort on the shoulders.

Then, his eyes were unconsciously attracted to two large bundles of firewood that were moving by themselves.

That bundle of firewood was worth two others, adding up to at least 2,560 kilograms.

Oh, isn't that the new lady from Liu Laosan's family?

The villagers discovered that there was another person between the two moving firewood, but because of his small stature, he was blocked by the firewood.

What surprised them even more was that this person was Mrs. Qin from Liu Laosan's family.

How could she be so strong!

The villagers in the field watched blankly as the mother and son passed by. When they disappeared, their jaws slowly closed in surprise.

Later, the news that Liu Laosan married a powerful woman spread in the village.

In the evening, when Qin Yao led her four siblings to set up a stall near the village well with the prepared straw sandals, she had become what the villagers called a strong dominatrix!

At this time, everyone has finished the farm work in the fields, and there is still some time before dinner. They all like to gather in the village well to have a rest, as there are many people.

There were children playing under the big tree by the well. When they saw Qin Yao appearing, they screamed Ah! and fled in all directions. They huddled behind their parents and looked at her with fear and curiosity.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows. By chance, this was a good place for her to set up a stall.

Put it on. Qin Yao raised her chin at the wiff signals standing in front of the four rows.

Sanlang and Si Niang spread the broken straw mats they pulled out from home under the tree.

Dalang Erlang took off the ten pairs of straw sandals strung in his arms and spread them out.

Qin Yao tidied it up again, put a wooden sign on the ground, and wrote a few dark words with charcoal: A pair of straw sandals costs three cents!

Clap your hands and live together.

Although they were afraid of the 'strong dominatrix', the villagers couldn't help but gathered around curiously to see what the five mother and son were up to.

However, not everyone knows the word three and one, only a few people know it.

Qin Yao patted Erlang on the shoulder. After a few days of observation, she found that Erlang was the thickest and most generous boy.

Erlang took a big step forward, took a deep breath, and started selling: Selling straw sandals, three cents for a pair, three cents for a pair, and for only three cents, you can take home the finely woven straw sandals!

This sudden roar first startled the onlookers, and then they realized that they were selling straw sandals.

Erlang continued to shout at the top of his lungs: With three cents, you can't buy it at a loss or be cheated. For only three cents, you can take away comfortable and durable finely woven straw sandals!

“If you don’t have money, you can exchange it with something!”

Sanwen a pair, this price was calculated by Qin Yao after studying the consumption level of the villagers and the value of the loofah and green vegetables exchanged yesterday.

Sure enough, everyone was very excited about the price, and even more excited about the barter.

Although I was still talking about Qin Yao's mother Yaksha just now, it was just a joke and gossip after all. The price is affordable, so I am not afraid of it anymore.

Straw sandals are needed by every household. Seeing Erlang shouting so hard, a pair of women squatted down in front of the stall.

Siniang immediately picked up the shoes and handed them to them to see, Aunt Zhou, the shoes made by my mother are very good. You can buy a pair.

Qin Yao was a little surprised. She thought Siniang was timid and clingy, but she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to sell her.

Even though the children were working so hard, Qin Yao was too embarrassed to stand still as an adult. She smiled and took the initiative to explain how strong her shoes were and how hard it took her to make a pair.

The woman, whom her fourth mother called Aunt Zhou, looked over and over and saw that the shoes were indeed sturdy and the size fit the feet of her men. Recently, the men in the family were working on the ground and the straw sandals on their feet were rotten and she wanted to replace them with new ones.

Ms. Qin, I'll take two pairs, can you make them cheaper? Sister-in-law Zhou asked tentatively.

Qin Yao also said cheerfully, Okay, let's open the first order. I'll give you two pairs for five cents.

Taking advantage, Sister-in-law Zhou was happy. She took out the chosen straw sandals and put them aside, signaling Qin Yao to wait for her while she went home to get the coins.

He trotted back soon, counted the five cents three times before handing them to Qin Yao, and happily took away two pairs of straw sandals.

The four Liu brothers and sisters all laughed when the business was done with one order or two pairs.

Erlang shouted even harder. Si Niang took advantage of her young age and took the initiative to find someone to sell her shoes, but she behaved poorly.

She specifically looked for those aunts because she found that it was the aunts who had the money in their pockets.

Seeing how brave his sister was, Sanlang mustered up the courage to follow her and asked in a low voice: Want to buy shoes? You can buy a pair.

The brother and sister cooperated and sold another pair. They looked at Qin Yao in surprise and asked for praise.

Although the brother and sister were dressed in rags, their faces were clean and their hair was tied neatly into a bun. They looked very cute.

The sales of straw sandals were getting smoother and smoother. Someone brought unused bowls at home to exchange them. Five slightly chipped rough porcelain bowls were exchanged for a pair of shoes.

Another grandma brought three eggs in exchange for a pair.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark, and everyone went back to eat. In the end, only Qin Yao, mother and son, were left, excitedly counting today's harvest under the tree.
