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

After entering Ding Xiucai's house, Qin Yao realized that Ding Xiucai was not at home at all.

He was in Fucheng and never came back. His wife asked the clan members to help with the land sale.

As soon as the land was sold and the money was obtained, he took his mother and two sons to join him in Fucheng.

Even if something as big as a murder happened midway, he didn't show up.

Because he was a scholar and enjoyed certain privileges, the government collected the body and asked someone to come over and ask a few questions before leaving.

Of course, the murderer cannot be the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Ding family. There is no point in tracking them down.

It's just that the land sale has been delayed until now.

Land that should have been easy to sell is now in hand and no one dares to buy it.

It is only a small number of people who think it is unlucky. The bigger reason is that some people do not want to buy it and do not allow others to buy it.

Ding Xiucai's old mother said that whenever someone came to ask questions, they would be blocked when leaving the house, which frightened them so much that all their original talks were ruined.

"Didn't you go to the elders of the Ding clan to make the decision?" Qin Yao asked tentatively.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with only wry smiles and suppressed anger.

Even if they are blood brothers, they will sometimes stumbling against each other, let alone clan members who have been separated for several generations?

Ding Xiucai is not a very popular person. There are always villains in the village who secretly make things difficult. In addition, those people promised benefits, so the clan elders accepted it on the surface, but the result was just superficial, and they didn't care at all in private.

The tribesmen who had been entrusted by them before now dare not come forward anymore. Only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still holding on, and at worst they won't sell it!

However, Ding Xiucai's future cannot be ignored. Not selling is the worst option.

In fact, as long as someone dares to buy it, they can sell it at a lower price.

Qin Yao became interested and asked what the base price was.

Ding Xiucai's wife sighed: "Six hundred taels."

After saying that, his eyes were locked on Qin Yao, fearing that she would bargain again, he wrung the handkerchief with both hands and tightened his cheeks.

Qin Yao: "Deal!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other excitedly, and Ding Xiucai's wife asked urgently: "Sister Qin, when will you come over with the money?"

"No need to go get it." Qin Yao shouted outside the hospital: "Awang!"

The wooden box containing the money was quickly delivered to her.

The Ding family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were overjoyed. They didn't expect Qin Yao to be so well prepared, and they felt relieved.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get the land deed right now." Madam Ding Xiucai stood up hurriedly and asked the cleaning girl in the courtyard to bring paper and pen.

Something changed later. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just wanted to get the 600 taels of silver in their hands quickly.

Qin Yao looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly, fearing that something would get into trouble, and she cast aside Wang Mawu and others in her heart.

Now she was a little suspicious that the so-called murder was either caused by Wang Mawu or those other Kaiyang County bullies.

Madam Ding Xiucai took out the box containing the land deed. The maid spread the paper on the Eight Immortals table, and Madam Ding Xiucai was about to write down the sales contract.

Suddenly, there were several roars outside the gate.

"What are you doing sneaking around in front of the house of an orphan and a widowed mother?"

"Where did you come from with such a shameless thing? Get out of here!"

Hearing this sound, the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Ding family in the hall suddenly changed. The pen lifted by Ding Xiucai's wife shook violently, and a large ball of black ink spread out on the yellow paper, as if there was a shadow, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

"Bang bang!" There were two muffled sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the two strangers screamed and fell under the Eight Immortals table.

The maid of the Ding family screamed "Ah", and the mother-in-law of the Ding family turned pale for a moment.

However, Mrs. Ding Xiucai was still calm. She immediately carried the wooden box containing the land deed in front of her pocket and pulled her mother-in-law aside to avoid it.

Qin Yao coughed twice uncomfortably, looked at Awang who walked in expressionlessly, raised her head and comforted her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law:

"It's okay. See if these two people know each other. If they don't, I'll ask my driver to throw them out."

Only then did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law realize that the person lying on the ground was the person who had just yelled at the door.

Taking a deep breath, Madam Ding Xiucai managed to suppress her shock. She glanced at the two people who were curled up and rolling on the ground with a solemn expression, "They are the guys from the pawn shop in the city."

"These days, they are the ones driving away people who want to buy my land."

Madam Ding Xiucai glanced at Qin Yao with admiration, but she still had to remind her, otherwise forget it.

"Ms. Qin, it's not easy for you as a girl. This is bad luck for my family. You can leave. I won't sign the contract."

"If you don't know me, just throw it out." Qin Yao said to herself and winked at Awang.

Awang understood, grabbed the two guys who couldn't get up, carried them out of the door, removed their chins, so as not to listen to their calls, and threw them under the ridge of the field!

He clapped his hands, sat back on the cowl of the bullock cart, and looked at the white clouds in a daze, as if nothing had happened.

"It's okay, let's continue signing."

Qin Yao smiled and picked up the brush on the paper, put aside the faint yellow paper, spread new paper, and polished it for Madam Ding Xiucai.

Her few scrawled calligraphy strokes are no longer ugly.

Madam Ding Xiucai hesitated to speak, and Qin Yao said gently: "Don't be afraid, my coachman is guarding us, and no strangers will interrupt us."

Seeing that Qin Yao was calm and relaxed, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other. The mother-in-law nodded, and then Mrs. Ding Xiucai sat down and started writing the sales contract again.

Her handwriting was very beautiful, delicate and graceful, and showed a sense of tenacity. Qin Yao was very envious of it.

But if she really wants to practice calligraphy, she should continue to envy others.

The contract was written quickly, and the maid who had recovered quickly handed over the ink pad. Qin Yao glanced at the content and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she signed and signed it.

Qin Yao took out the money, a 500-tael silver note, plus an additional 100 taels of loose silver, a total of 600 taels, not a penny.

Madam Ding Xiucai handed over the land deed box. The land deeds for thirty acres and the land deeds for seventy acres were both inside.

After Qin Yao carefully checked and confirmed that everything was correct, she closed the lid and suggested:

"It's going to be a long night and a lot of dreams. I think it's still early. How about we go to the county office now to complete the resale procedures?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got what they wanted. Madam Ding Xiucai went to get the land transfer request document sent by her husband in advance, and immediately took a car with Qin Yao to the county seat.

There are many inconveniences for a woman to do things alone. Without the documents sent by Ding Xiucai, she is completely unqualified to handle the family's land and house on her behalf, and has to find the clan leader or relatives to be the guarantor.

It's much more convenient here in Qin Yao. There are acquaintances in the county government, so it's convenient to brush their faces.

At this point, Mrs. Ding Xiucai finally felt relieved, knowing that Qin Yao had a way to deal with the pawnshop, so she felt relieved.

However, the procedures on Ding Xiucai's side have been completed, but Qin Yao still needs to call Liu Ji, the head of the household, to come over tomorrow to make a new household registration information and keep it in the county office for filing for tax verification in the coming year.

Unless Qin Yao becomes a widow and an independent female household becomes the head of the household, she can handle this step by herself.

But similarly, you also need to find the village chief or a clan relative to act as a guarantor and come forward on your behalf. Even a woman cannot enter the yamen.

After finally completing the formalities and leaving the Yamen, the two of them needed to buy some more gifts and go to Jinshi Town to inform Li Zheng to ensure that the information was consistent.

According to the normal process, Li Zheng should have been informed first, and then Li Zheng would submit documents, sales contracts and other proofs to the county government. The result would have been at least two or three months later.

Qin Yao was afraid of long nights and nightmares, so she went directly to the county government office to handle the matter herself. It was fast, but it was also easy to offend Li Zheng.

Fortunately, Li Zheng was not embarrassed for the sake of the head of Liujia Village and Ding Xiucai.

After finally fixing all the joints, Qin Yao held the land deed box and breathed a long sigh of relief.

From now on, she will also be a little landowner. (End of chapter)
