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

Yang Da also made twenty arrows for Qin Yao, put them in a quiver and handed them to her together.

A good arrow costs a lot of money to make. The materials used for the arrowhead and the tail feathers on the arrow tail cost a lot of money. These two important components cost a lot of money, not to mention the technology of making arrows. These are not spread to outsiders.

Qin Yao was mentally prepared to pay a high price, but Yang Da said, "Just give me another five taels of silver."

Qin Yao knew that it was definitely more than that, "Isn't this enough?"

Yang Da waved his hand, "The materials used are not the best, but the arrow feathers are a bit cumbersome, but I use bird feathers that I made myself. It doesn't cost much. Five taels is enough."

Qin Yao was not hypocritical. Since the other party wanted to sell her this good thing, he said thank you generously, gave him five taels of silver, and took away the bow and arrow.

On the way back, she would look at it from time to time, as if she had found some treasure. She pulled and released the bowstring. Not willing to shoot the arrow, she pulled the empty string several times, making a "buzzing" sound.

One can imagine how powerful it would be if the arrow were released.

Qin Yao dare not say that one arrow can penetrate a human body, but it is still very easy for one arrow to penetrate a roe deer.

In fact, with her arm strength, this bow is quite light. If she replaces it with a divine arm bow and a special long arrow, a war horse can shoot through it!

We walked to the valley where we met the robbers last time. This time we didn’t meet any robbers. There were a few people passing by on the road, they were villagers from nearby villages.

Qin Yao walked alone, and no one greeted her.

An ox cart drove up behind him, loaded with goods and several people sitting on it.

The road was not wide and could only accommodate an ox cart. Qin Yao stepped to the side of the road and heard the people in the car talking about something. They seemed to be coming from the county town. She vaguely heard some words such as "ox, government, and the end of the year."

Qin Yao listened carefully and found out that what was said was that the Kaiyang County government raised eight cows, and each cow had to eat a certain amount of fodder money every month.

Now the government can no longer afford it and plans to sell all the other cows except one.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the government planned to take the cattle to the cattle and horse market for disposal.

The cows raised by the government are willing to feed them and rarely do much work. They must be good.

There was a villager in the car who was a little interested. He thought of going to the city to have a look. If the price is right, he would buy one and take it home. It would be easier to cultivate the land in the coming year.

The remaining people all made envious sounds after hearing this.

The bullock cart gradually drove away, and Qin Yao was left behind.

She was a little surprised that it cost so much to raise a cow. It cost one tael of fodder a month. No wonder there was a saying, "The cost of one cow and horse is enough to feed five people."

But on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, does the government only sell live cattle? Will the old cow be killed to sell its meat?

Maybe she could buy a piece of beef tendon to use in the slingshot instead of a rubber band.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao's heart moved and she counted the days, it would be five days later.

I haven’t bought any charcoal for the winter yet, and I think I need to prepare a little more for the New Year. I just happened to go to the county town to buy some.

With only ten taels of silver left in her hand, Qin Yao was not in a hurry.

With a good bow in hand, she won't starve to death even if she hunts.

As for the five fathers and sons in the family, the four children are well-behaved and obedient. Liu Ji will definitely leave the house to make money to pay off his debts after the new year!

At this time, Liu Ji was lying in his room, imagining that one day he would tame the evil woman in the family with his beauty, and let her pawn her as a cow or horse, so that he could make money for herself.

Little did he know that his probation only had one month left.

Two miles away from Liujia Village, Qin Yao saw a group of sparrows looking for food in the fields, and hunted six of them with marbles, taking them home for extra meals.

However, the first time I used marbles with my bare hands, I used too much force and the six sparrows were slightly broken.

But sparrows are still meat no matter how chopped they are. Liu Ji happily took these disgusting sparrows into the kitchen to clean them up, but secretly cursed Qin Yao for being cruel and ruthless.

He turned around several times in the kitchen and saw Qin Yao gesticulating proudly in the yard with her bow, and couldn't help but asked angrily:

"Where did you get the bow and arrow? It costs a lot of money, right?"

Qin Yao was in a good mood. She turned around and pointed her bow and arrow at him. She smiled and said, "I didn't buy much, just five taels."

"Five taels?!" Liu Ji couldn't control his shocked voice at all.

Qin Yao nodded, "What, do you have any objections?"

Liu Ji thinks she is unreasonable!

Can a broken bow be eaten or worn? Actually asking for five taels of silver?

Oh no, it can shoot him right through, too!

Seeing that the bow pointed at him in Qin Yao's hand was getting more and more bent, Liu Ji swallowed hard and showed a smile that he thought was gentle and doting, "No objection, madam, as long as you like it."

When the elders and others learned that Qin Yao had got a new baby, they gathered around it curiously and wanted to touch it, but they didn't dare.

Qin Yao took the initiative to hand the bow and arrow to Dalang and let him try it.

The little boy was very surprised, but soon his face wrinkled up. This bow was so heavy and hard that he couldn't pull it open at all.

"Hahaha..." Qin Yao laughed rudely.

It wasn't until the little boy was about to become angry with embarrassment that he beckoned him to come to him, half-crouched down, held his hand, pulled the bow, nocked the arrow, and let go.

A "whoosh" sound broke through the air in the courtyard, and an arrow flew out quickly like lightning.

"Tuk!", he was firmly nailed to the pile of firewood, and he trembled for a long time before returning to stillness.

"Wow!" Si Niang opened her mouth wide and looked back at the stepmother and eldest brother. The little stars of admiration were about to fly out.

Erlang immediately shouted that he was coming too.

"Okay, come one by one." Qin Yao readily agreed, never favoring one over the other. The four brothers and sisters would come one at a time.

Every time an arrow is shot, exclamations such as "Wow" and "Aniang is great" will be heard in the yard.

But the excitement wore off, and Erlang was obviously more interested in the fried sparrows coming from the kitchen, so he slipped into the kitchen.

Sanlang didn't seem to be too excited. He sat obediently on the small wooden pier in the corridor, looking at Qin Yao, Dalang, and Siniang who were still in the courtyard with bright eyes. From time to time, he clapped his little hands and acted as an atmosphere set for them.

Dalang became serious. He couldn't draw the bow, so he thought about running over and picking up the arrows on the pile of firewood.

Only then did he realize that he couldn't pull it out at all.

"Auntie?" The little boy looked at her pitifully and angrily. Qin Yao stepped forward and pulled out the arrow easily.

But then there was a loud "crash" sound, and the pile of wood, which had been arranged neatly, was pulled by her remaining strength to pull out the arrow, and collapsed.

"What happened!"

Liu Ji held up the spatula, dragging Erlang with the sparrow meat in his hand, and ran out in a panic, thinking that the newly built house was going to collapse.

Siniang used her whole body to support the bow, which was taller than her. She looked at the firewood scattered on the ground behind her and her brother, and said innocently: "Dad, the firewood collapsed on its own!"

Liu Ji looked at the ground, Siniang, are you sure the firewood collapsed on its own?

He worked hard to build the 'Yuanbao Tower' built by many geniuses, but now it has lost its original appearance, and dry wood is falling everywhere.

Thinking that he had to code it all over again, Liu Ji couldn't hold back and took a breath of cold air, and pinched his middle to prevent himself from being mad at his mother!

Siniang looks forward to holding her face: Do you have any tickets? Can you vote for my grandmother, the author~
