In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

As soon as Grandma He came back, she directed her son and daughter-in-law to move the grain into the cellar.

Jin ran to the donkey cart and opened the bag of grain impatiently.

After looking at the food inside, he couldn't help but pout: "Mom, you didn't buy rice and wheat? You must have made a lot of money from the deer antlers today. Why don't you buy some flour and rice to reward us?"

"Lazy woman." Old Lady He raised the donkey whip in her hand and hit the donkey cart. "You are not the head of the family, don't you know how expensive oil, salt, firewood and rice are? How much is a bushel of rice and wheat? How can a family of so many people afford to eat? It's good enough to have you eat, hurry up and work for me."

Jin said sarcastically, "I would like to be the head of the family, mother, but will you give it to me?"

"I think you might as well piss me off to death so you can run this household!"

Old Mrs. He raised the donkey whip and was about to hit Jin, but she picked up a bag of grain and headed towards the cellar.

The donkey could no longer be whipped. If the sack was damaged and the grain spilled all over the ground, it would be Grandma He herself who would feel sad.

He Qiudi looked at Jin, this funny guy, and burst out laughing.

If He Qingya hadn't framed her, Third Sister-in-law, who was heartless but smart and thick-skinned, would have been able to live an easy and free life during the disaster years when she was fleeing famine and had the protection of the elders of the He family.

Old Lady He took out the three kilograms of red dates she had bought and gave them to Madam Xu: "Since you are pregnant, ask the second son to do more work in the future. Starting tomorrow, you don't have to work in the fields. This is to nourish your body."

After that, Old Lady He gritted her teeth and took out another ounce of silver and handed it to her: "The family has had some income recently, and I will not be short of money for your food and clothing. Take this ounce of silver and buy yourself some nutritional supplements."

Xu took the small silver ingot with trembling hands.

"Thank you, mother."

"Mom!" Jin rushed out of the room like a cannonball, "Give it to the second son's family, is there anything for me?"

Old Mrs. He said sullenly, “No.”

"Mom. You're not fair!"

Old Lady He sneered at Jin and said, "You are not pregnant. If you could get pregnant, I would give you one or two taels of silver to buy tonic food!"

Seeing that Jin was about to make a scene, Old Lady He said, "But the second wife is pregnant and can't work in the fields anymore. If you work hard, I can give you an extra 500 coins after the spring rush is over."

When Jin heard that he had performed well, he would give him an extra 500 coins. Adding it to the previous 200 coins, the total income would be 700 coins.

She was happy.

"Okay, mother, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

Jin's appearance made everyone laugh.

Old Mrs. He didn't want to continue to argue with this lazy daughter-in-law, so she waved her hand and said, "Let's have dinner."

Today's dinner was prepared by Wei and Mrs. Lin, with Xu helping out.

There are fish, meat, whole-grain buns and white flour steamed buns.

After dinner, Grandma He took her son and daughter-in-law to prepare the venison.

Except for the venison reserved for the banquet, they had to marinate the rest and save it for later consumption.

He Qiudi took Sanlang, the noisy young man, for a walk in the village, and actually went to the old well to drain water.

He Qingshu also said she wanted to take a walk together, and He Qiudi had no choice but to let her go.

At this time, the sunset was all over the sky.

The golden crow hung over the top of the Western Hills, and the beautiful rays of light turned the entire sky crimson.

He Qiudi took Sanlang and walked towards the old well.

One after another, I saw many village wives and girls coming back with baskets to wash at the old well.

The backpack was filled with almost all mushrooms.

He Sanlang said with deep sorrow: "Aunt, our mushrooms, these are all ours..."

"Silly child." He Qiudi shrugged helplessly and said, "Things in the mountains are ownerless. Whoever finds them owns them."

"But if we sell it to Master Yan, we can get thirty cents per pound. Aunt, shall we go to the mountains to pick mushrooms tomorrow morning and bring them to Master Yan?" He Sanlang asked.

He Qingshu then interrupted, "Aunt, is the Master Yan that Sanlang was talking about the man you saved a few days ago?"

He Qiudi glanced at her and nodded, "Yeah."

He Qingshu pursed her lips and continued, "Then can I go into the city with you tomorrow to deliver venison and mushrooms to Master Yan?"

After she finished speaking, He Qingshu was worried that her purpose was too obvious and she would be rejected by He Qiudi, so she said, "Aunt, I heard that the embroidery shop and rouge shop in the city have received a batch of new goods. Let's go shopping together."

He Qingshu had said once before that she wanted to play with him, and now she came up to him and said she wanted to go to the city together. After thinking about it, He Qiudi didn't refuse.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Fearing that he would be left behind, He Sanlang anxiously asked, "Aunt, what about me? What about me?"

"I'll take you with me." He Qiudi said softly.

Who makes her a person with a "special status" who is soft-hearted towards furry animals, cubs and the elderly?

He Qiudi played at the entrance of the village for most of the hour until Old Lady He sent Dalang and He Qingya to look for her, and then she returned to the He family.

On the way back, the stupid little cat floated on her shoulder and cursed all the way.

"I'm dying working for you. I don't care, you have to cook two, no, twenty-two saury for me."

Not only did we have to fill the old water for more than an hour, we also had to control the water flow and divert water into the ditch.

She also has to go to the port to dig pools and sort out the supplies collected from all parties, which is very tiring.

He Qiudi stroked the stupid little cat's fur and said, "Okay, okay, okay. Twenty-two, that's twenty-two."

Twenty-two fish, and there is no time limit, two a day is enough, no more.

She looked at the scissors, cat and cat punch that the little fairy demonstrated in front of her, and her heart melted.

But it’s strange, why does the little fairy have such a special liking for the number “two”?

He Qingshu looked at He Qiudi with some surprise.

The young aunt was touching her shoulder in the air and seemed to be muttering something, but I couldn't hear her speaking.

After returning to the He family, He Qingshu bowed to He Qiudi and went back to her room.

Wei anxiously closed the door, took He Qingshu's hand and walked into the room, then asked in a low voice: "Qingshu, did your aunt agree to take you into the city?"

"Yes." He Qingshu nodded and said, "I promised to take her to the embroidery studio and the rouge shop."

Wei heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good. Sister Shu, you must remember what your mother said. Get up early tomorrow, dress yourself up well, and make sure your aunt takes you to see Master Yan. And try to win Master Yan's favor. You are already at the age where you can get married, and you will definitely not lose out if you marry Master Yan."

"Mom." He Qingshu turned her face away shyly, "I didn't even know that Master Yan was square and flat. You asked me to win his heart. Could it be that even though he's ugly, you still want me to marry him?"

Wei promised bitterly, "Silly child, how could I not help you find out clearly? Your third aunt said that Master Yan is the most handsome young man she has ever seen."

It was Jin who rolled her eyes at her when she asked about Master Yan, saying that Qingshu was not as pretty as He Qiudi, and that even if Master Yan was interested in the young lady of the He family, he would definitely be interested in He Qiudi instead of Qingshu.

But she wasn't mad to death.

How could He Qiudi, a country girl who ran around the mountains and fields, compare to He Qingshu, who had been pampered since childhood, trained to be proficient in housework, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and able to be the mistress of a large family?
