"Let's hire someone," Qin Ershu was the first to voice his opinion after Qin Junyao.
When his wife was too busy, he had to help with cooking. How embarrassing would it be if the villagers they hired saw him cooking at home?
No one would fear him in the future. What if his mother caused trouble again?
"Second, what kind of look is that? I'm not involved in this. You guys discuss it yourselves. I'm old, and it's time for me to enjoy myself," Grandma Qin said, leaning back in her chair, crossing her legs leisurely.
Grandma Qin remained neutral and uninvolved.
Although Qin Mother didn't participate in the labor of harvesting saxaul, she knew how tiring cooking was. With no vegetables left in the garden, cooking wasn't easy.
"Daniu's father, I also think hiring people is a good idea."
Qin Ershu agreed with hiring help, and Qin Ershen naturally followed her husband's lead.
"Big Uncle, I'm going to the salt lake the day after tomorrow too. Let's hire people," Qin Erniu also agreed with hiring.
Dengzuitui said that Qin Erniu wanted to improve his martial arts skills. Currently, he lacked both a suitable weapon and opponents to spar with.
The salt lake had stabilized, and a new batch of recruits had joined the army. It was the perfect time for Qin Erniu to go.
More than half of the Qin family members now agreed to hire help, so Qin Father had no choice but to compromise.
It seemed they really needed to find long-term workers. If farm work was too much, hiring people wouldn't cost that much more.
Qin Father had a good reputation in Yangshu Village. With the added title of future general's father-in-law, finding people to hire was quick. The Hou family, with their many members, didn't need to find anyone; the whole family pitched in.
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do at home, Qin Junyao thought about expanding her space. Sudan Novel Network.
"Grandma, I have something to discuss," Qin Junyao knocked on Grandma Qin's door.
Grandma Qin was making cotton shoes. She looked up at Qin Junyao. "Speak."
"Grandma, I'm going to be enlightened by Bodhisattva again."
Grandma Qin put down the cotton shoes she was holding. "Are you going to faint again?"
"Possibly, I'm not sure. Grandma, I..."
"Your fainting spells are getting longer each time. You won't starve to death this time, will you?"
"No, no," Grandma Qin said, then immediately denied herself.
"The task the Bodhisattva gave you hasn't been completed yet, so she probably won't let you die. It wouldn't be useful to take you back."
"Wait a moment."
Qin Junyao didn't get a chance to say what she wanted to.
Grandma Qin pushed aside the cotton and sewing supplies on the kang, took out a small red cloth pouch from her clothes, and poured out the three long-lost copper coins.
After pouring the coins onto the red cloth pouch, she washed her hands, rinsed her mouth, lifted her foot to smell it, and then went to the kitchen to find hot water to wash her feet, followed by washing her hands again.
Qin Junyao couldn't stop her.
She lit three incense sticks and stuck them into a bowl filled with millet. Grandma Qin held the three copper coins.
"Grandma, I..."
"Shh, this is the first time I'm divining life and death. This is a big taboo. Oh well, let's try."
"Grandma, I just want to say one thing," Qin Junyao raised her voice this time, stopping Grandma Qin, who was about to toss the coins.
"What is it? You startled me. Go ahead and say it."
Qin Junyao glanced at the millet bowl serving as an incense burner, then looked up at Grandma Qin and said, "Grandma, you just need to see if the enlightenment succeeds or not."
Grandma Qin was clearly stunned. Then she picked up a shoe sole from the kang and threw it at Qin Junyao.
Fortunately, Grandma Qin didn't really intend to hit Qin Junyao. The shoe sole flew past her head.
"You didn't say so earlier."
Qin Junyao felt wronged. She hadn't had a chance to speak.
Grandma Qin tossed the copper coins eight times this time. She counted on her fingers, calculated, and her expression was good.
"It's fine, not only will it succeed, but all your wishes will come true."
"Really?" Qin Junyao was excited.
All her wishes come true. Did that mean she could grow and harvest crops with her mind?
Grandma Qin put away the coins and lifted her chin. "Who am I? Do you think I would lie? Hurry up and wish for turning stone into gold."
"Grandma, I've already finished wishing."
"Turning stone into gold?"
"Grow whatever I want."
Grandma Qin's triangular eyes narrowed. She looked for another shoe sole, then thought again and reached out to Qin Junyao. "Give me money."
"What money?" Qin Junyao didn't understand what her grandmother wanted money for.
"You have to give incense money when you visit a temple. Am I going to divine for you for free? One hundred taels."
Qin Junyao was surprised. "That expensive?"
"I've divined for you so many times without charging you. Because we have such a good relationship, I'm giving you a relative's price."
