Grandma Qin's words fell, and Mother Qin and Qin Junyao looked at Grandma Qin simultaneously in shock.
"What are you looking at me for? I have money, I'll buy as much as I want, who can stop me? All of you, out."
"Where's Xiao Yu? She ran off halfway through making the shoes, I'm going to find her." Grandma Qin got off the kang, put on her shoes, and left the room.
She didn't even glance at Qin Junyao and her mother.
Mother Qin went to help the Li family and said a few words to Qin Junyao before leaving.
Qin Junyao went around the kitchen and the utility room, replenishing what was needed and fixing what was broken.
After looking around inside and out, she didn't see Huang Gou Bus'i.
The family should be eating two meals now, and it was still early for the afternoon meal. Qin Junyao, bored, lay on her own kang, closed her eyes, and started farming in her space.
After the space expanded, she had only tested her willpower control and hadn't tried large-scale farming.
Qin Junyao used her willpower to hold a sickle and cut rice. With a couple of swipes, a row fell. She gathered them together, supported them, and placed them by the threshing barrel. With a few thumps, the rice grains fell into the barrel.
Then she tossed the rice stalks onto the open ground, and they were instantly absorbed by the space's soil.
Satisfying.
This was the real golden finger.
The land in the space was also more pleasant than before. Wheat, millet, and rice dried directly on the stalks. Mature crops no longer got absorbed when they fell on the ground.
Qin Junyao didn't need to lay out mats or load carts like before.
This experience was completely different from the stooping labor before; this was like opening a cheat code.
Qin Junyao harvested rice, planted rice, watered, planted trees, and planted medicinal herbs. With the expansion of the space, she could plant more things.
Because she was too excited and used her willpower too much, Qin Junyao unknowingly fell asleep.
.
"Xiao Yu, stop fooling around, let me sleep a little longer," Qin Junyao instinctively reacted to someone pinching her face, assuming it was Qin Xiaoyu.
"If you sleep any longer, the sky will be dark."
A man's voice instantly made Qin Junyao alert.
She rolled over, sat up, retreated, pulled out her dagger, her movements fluid.
"Zhao Liangcai?"
Qin Junyao had thought there was an intruder. The men in her family never entered her room to wake her from sleep.
"Good reaction," Qin Junyao's movements clearly pleased Zhao Liangcai.
Even so, Zhao Liangcai had no intention of letting Qin Junyao go. "Come here."
Qin Junyao looked into Zhao Liangcai's eyes and suddenly shouted towards the doorway, "Dad, Grandma, Mom."
"Stop shouting, they're not home."
"Where did they go?" Qin Junyao stood up and moved towards the outside, staying close to the wall.
Zhao Liangcai, with his arms crossed, watched Qin Junyao as she moved. "Uncle Qin, Second Uncle, and Da Niu went to help and haven't returned. Aunt Qin went to buy tofu."
"Oh, where's my second aunt? Are my brothers and younger brother doing well at the salt lake?"
"Second Aunt went to the cellar to get cabbage. Er Niu and San Niu are doing well. I also brought Bus'i to the salt lake to accompany San Niu."
Zhao Liangcai's body rotated in place with Qin Junyao's movements, and he had no immediate intention of grabbing her.
Qin Junyao, noticing she was still about four feet away from the kang, continued to make conversation as she moved, "Oh, I was wondering where my dog went, haha."
"Um, has Zhao Rui decided to leave with her mother?"
"You're talking about Zhao Rui?" Zhao Liangcai shifted his stance slightly, still not moving from his spot.
"She got married."
As Zhao Liangcai spoke, Qin Junyao raised her foot to get off the kang and run. Unexpectedly, Zhao Liangcai was faster, lunging forward and grabbing the collar of Qin Junyao's shirt.
He took another step forward, grabbed Qin Junyao's shoulder, and with a flip, turned Qin Junyao to face him.
Qin Junyao's hands were also busy, raising them in a chop formation, trying to pry open Zhao Liangcai's hands.
Zhao Liangcai withdrew his hands, then slid them under Qin Junyao's armpits, lifted her up, and pressed her against the wall.
