Chapter 119 The Gossipy Aunts
"Master, master, you are here?" Manman rushed over from a distance.
Qu Jingyao dodged and missed the attack.
"Puff!" Qu Jingyao laughed out loud as she watched Manman fall to the ground. Then she put on a stern face and pretended to be angry and scolded him:
"How can you be so impatient!"
Manman squatted on the ground, licked his front paws, and blinked his vertical pupils.
"Master, I'm so excited to see you! You don't even like me anymore."
Qu Jingyao hugged her arms and shuddered, rolled her eyes at it, and warned it to behave normally.
Manman took two steps forward and followed her side.
"Master, go take a look. The workshop produces too much cloth, as well as jade accessories and the like. Oh, and do you want to use gold to make some gold jewelry so you don't have to buy it outside?"
Manman talked to her as they walked, but Qu Jingyao shook her head. She didn't have much gold on hand and she had spent a lot recently.
"Master, you can use that shop in Shangjing City to sell the jade ornaments we process! They are all top-quality and will definitely be very popular in Shangjing City."
When Qu Jingyao heard Manman's words, her eyes lit up. That's right! She was still wondering what would happen if she took out the cotton cloth and cotton.
She can sell the jade first!
She did it right away and told Manman to take good care of the workshop recently. She wanted to make more, but she didn't need too many of the top-quality ones, as scarcity makes things valuable.
"Master, you can collect some worthless jade from outside and place it near the waterfall."
Qu Jingyao scooped up the cat and held it in her arms, petting it.
"Meow! Meow... Help! Master, if you keep stroking me, I'm going bald!"
She lay on her back and giggled.
It seems that all these opportunities have to be sent to Shangjing City.
Qu Jingyao thought that the shop should be repaired next month, so she could go there again.
She felt relieved when she thought of this.
She told Manman that she was going to soak in the spiritual spring, and then she disappeared from its sight.
By the time Manman, who was stunned, came to his senses, the Qujing Yao people had already arrived at the bamboo house.
At this time, a tiger roar was heard from the foot of the mountain, and many people in the village were awakened from their dreams by the deafening roar.
"Dad, is that the roar of a tiger outside? Is it entering the village?" Aunt Cui Lian sat up suddenly and pushed her husband beside her.
At this time, Xu Lizheng also sat up and put on his coat, telling her not to move while he went to take a look in the yard.
"No, don't go. If it's a tiger, it will be terrible. That beast eats people."
Xu Lizheng frowned, as if he heard a heart-wrenching roar outside, but the sound was perhaps far away and not very clear.
In addition, Aunt Cui Lian kept pulling him, so Xu Lizheng had no choice but to give up. He yelled twice outside and then did not leave.
"Okay, it probably came from the mountain, let's go to sleep."
Aunt Cui Lian, lying on the kang, began to toss and turn, unable to sleep soundly like a pancake.
"What are you doing? I'm not going. You're not going to sleep."
"Aren't I just worried about Yunshuang and her mother?"
Xu Lizheng was also at a loss at this time. He didn't know what was happening on the mountain. Fortunately, there was no movement at the moment. He thought that the wild beast in the mountain accidentally ran down the mountain.
The next morning.
Early in the morning, many villagers were discussing what happened last night.
When Qu Qingchen was going down the mountain, he saw a group of people standing in the wasteland in the distance, waiting for him to pay their wages for the day.
"Yao girl, Qingchen boy, are you here?"
"Good morning, uncles! What are you happily chatting about?"
Qu Jingyao asked everyone with a smile on her face.
There were also a few aunts in the crowd. At this time, the gossipy ones came forward and started chatting with Qu Jingyao.
"Girl, don't you know? Mrs. Xu's eldest son was bitten last night."
"Yes, yes, it was bitten by a big insect. The tiger's roar last night scared us so much that we didn't dare to come out."
Qu Jingyao and Bai Guo looked at each other, and the master and servant smiled at each other knowingly.
"How did you know this, auntie?" Qu Jingyao pretended to be stupid and started talking to the two of them.
That aunt was also a talkative person. She pulled Qu Jingyao and said mysteriously that she and the Naqu family were separated by a wall. I heard it clearly last night.
Mrs. Wu howled all night long.
Early in the morning, Old Lady Xu started cursing in the yard.
"Tsk tsk tsk... You didn't hear how unpleasant that sound was. How disrespectful of the elderly."
Qu Jingyao smiled and said nothing more. She then called her brother to settle everyone's previous wages first.
"Okay, then let's start with Uncle Da Kui, who has exactly 320 wen, and Uncle Shui has 270 wen..."
Every uncle who received the money had a smile on his face. Now he could go to the town to buy some food.
Qu Jingyao stood on a stone nearby and talked to the uncles and aunts who had received money, saying that she would plant something after the wasteland was reclaimed.
"If any of you uncles are willing to help, please continue to help today. If you have cattle, you can bring them along. It will be considered as money. We will try to plant all the land in the next few days."
After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, the two aunts who had just spoken became the most active. It was a real pity that their husbands had not been able to catch up with the work of land reclamation before.
Seeing that everyone got a lot of money, I was so envious.
"Yao girl is considered one of my aunt's family."
"And me, and me, your uncle is also free."
Qu Jingyao pursed her lips, smiled, and nodded. She didn't expect that the uncles and aunts who had helped her to open up the wasteland would stay.
Two of the families had cows and said they would go back and bring them over later.
"Okay, then we'll all get our own farm tools. I'll have my brother get the seeds, and we'll all take care of it."
Someone carefully asked Qu Jingyao what she wanted to plant?
"Uncle, this thing is called cotton. No one knows it until I tell you. You will know it in the future. Let's all work harder and pay more attention to it. The wages will remain the same. The cow is also considered a laborer, and the wages will be calculated as one person."
Upon hearing this, the aunt's eyes immediately lit up, and she stepped forward to ask her if the donkey counted.
"Of course, Auntie."
"That's great. My aunt has a donkey. I'll ask your uncle to bring it over. Just wait, I'll be there soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already run far away. Qu Jingyao was amazed at how this aunt, with such a plump body, could sit so lightly.
"Auntie, go slower and be careful with your steps."
Qu Jingyao suppressed her laughter and reminded him.
The group of men behind didn't care about anything and laughed so hard that they fell over!
"Brother, the seeds are all here. I've already told you how to plant them. Please tell your uncles.
I still have to go back to greet my mother and my aunt. We're going to town to see Xiaochen and the others today, so we might not be back tonight."
After hearing what his sister said, Qu Qingchen told her to be careful on the road, to stay in town if it was late, not to travel at night, and to leave the housework to him.
She smiled and winked at her brother, then called Baiguo and walked towards the back mountain.
