Chapter Seventy-four Leaving Xiaofront Village

  Fang Wanru's arrangement left Qin Dai unprepared and at a loss.

  When she made the request to clean up the Chang'an family, she didn't think she would help, just thinking of reporting it to her, and when Fang Shi asked about it in the future, there would be a passable excuse. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Fang Wanyu took over and directly cleared the household from Xiaofeng Village, not only solving her current difficulties but also paving the way for the future, promising to send this family to another village.

  What on earth is she trying so hard to curry favor with me for?

  "What? This idea won't work?" The tone turned unpleasant.

  Qin Dai'er thought to herself: "There's no better idea than this, it's just that I'm giving you more trouble again. As a daughter, I feel a bit uneasy about it. The New Year is approaching and you still have to find a reliable mother to take care of things."

  Fang Wanru smiled and said, "Daughters grow up and think more, they also know how to care for people." After finishing speaking, she let Haitang go invite the housekeeper mother, and she personally wrote a letter, handed it to Qin Dai Xin and said: "You just hand this letter over to the head of the village, I've explained everything inside."

  Although Zhuangzi has a Zhuangtou in charge, due to the presence of the Chang'an family, he only got the title of Zhuangtou and is not actually in charge.

  Qin Dai Xin took over Fang Wan Ru's letter and bowed to her, thanking: "Thank you, Mother. Once the farm is settled and I make some money, I will be able to take good care of you."

  Fang Wanru was delighted again, and the two of them chatted and laughed for a while. Although they were each thinking their own thoughts in their hearts, on the surface they seemed to be getting along harmoniously, and anyone who didn't know the inside story would definitely be fooled.

  As soon as Qian Guanshi entered the door, she saw such a picture of maternal love and filial piety. Although her face was calm and expressionless, in her heart, she was shocked. No wind rises without waves; it seems that the rumors inside the mansion are true.

  Fang Wanru saw her coming and simply told her what had happened, saying that the old lady was getting older and more nostalgic for the past, so she quietly arranged to bring people back to give the old lady a surprise.

  Qian Guanshi was a seasoned person who had been through many storms. Seeing her only say half of what she meant, he guessed the other half was related to Qin Dai's heart and didn't ask, instead politely inquiring: "Is Third Miss going with me, and will you be making some preparations before we go?"

  Qin Dai Xin liked clever people and seeing that she understood, said: "I'll make further arrangements later, you go first!"

  Money talks, and with the token in hand, he went to call for a carriage. Qin Dai's heart didn't linger much either, she stood up, bid farewell, and left.

  Fang Wanru looked at Qin Dai Xin's background with a thoughtful expression, and couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Zheng Mama. The two exchanged inquiring glances, both of their eyes filled with a sense of disbelief. Who would have thought that the spoiled and reckless Third Miss, who acted without thinking and had a violent temper, would transform into this version of herself today? Her demeanor and bearing were not just put on for show!

  Zheng's mother thought of the few months in Xiaofront Village and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. It had been less than half a year since the last time she was frightened at Pufa Temple, and this third miss seemed to have changed into another person. At first, she hadn't noticed that she still had an unchangeable temper, but now looking back, she feared that she had misjudged her at the time and been deceived.

  If she had discovered her changes in time, she would still be stuck in that small village, and someone like Third Miss actually learned to hide her light and nurture obscurity, and restrained her temper, it's really unexpected.

  Fang Wanru didn't expect this turn of events either. Although she didn't like the old Qin Daihe, at least back then Qin was easy to bully and Fang could effortlessly keep her in her place forever. But now it seems that although Qin has given up on pursuing a marriage with the Jia family, she might be difficult to handle in the future. Thinking of this, Fang's heart sank for a moment, but quickly recovered. After all, nothing is absolute, and what was once set in stone can still be overturned by oneself. Now, dealing with a little girl like Qin shouldn't be that hard, should it?

  Qin Dai deeply knew that her change would bring a series of troubles, but she didn't care at all. She just wanted to let everyone know her strength, only then would they dare not to provoke her easily, and in this way, she could live a few more peaceful days and enjoy the beautiful life.

  Qin Dai's heart skipped a beat as she was startled by this sudden thought, when did she start to not like the fresh and exciting days, but instead want a peaceful and quiet life? She used to be someone who would feel itchy if she didn't touch her gun for a day, and only felt at ease with flying knives and other weapons by her side. How could she now think of living an ordinary life? When did this start?

  Niu Dazhuang stood by, at a loss for what to do, staring at the third young lady who was standing there motionless, her face somewhat ferocious. He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart and blamed his own mother, knowing that he himself was timid, yet she had arranged this task for him. Hadn't they said that the third young lady would be using a carriage? Why was she just standing there, dazed and not moving at all?

  He was so scared that he forgot his own mother was also a slave, and some things were not up to her to decide. Ma Shi also knew that Qin Dai's heart was not good for him, but she had no choice as she was just a servant, and besides, Qin Dai had something on her. As for this errand, she could only follow orders.

  As if noticing something was amiss with the master's expression, and not wanting to let the servant nearby see the joke, he quietly whispered a sentence in Qin Dai Xin's ear. Qin Dai Xin listened, and glanced at the oxherd Cow Da Zhuang.

  She was still immersed in her own doubts, thinking about the past battles, and her eyes were inevitably sharp and intimidating. It was this sharp glance with a killing aura that scared Cow Big Strong, who was tall and large, and he became uneasy on the spot, his body even slightly trembling.

  Qin Dai furrowed her brow, a big and sturdy man, stronger than an ox, how could he be so timid? Thinking this way, her tone also became harder, her voice emitting a faint chill, "What's your name?"

  Niú Dàzhuàng was already in a state of utter bewilderment, and instinctively replied: "I'm... I'm Niú Dàzhuàng." However, his voice was too soft, and Yúyì beside him didn't hear clearly. If it weren't for Qín Dài's keen senses, she might not have known what he was saying either.

  "Second son of the Old Cow family?" How ridiculous, and yet he's actually called Niu Dazhuang? Qin Dai's heart found it amusing, her tone also softened, and along with that, her expression returned to normal.

  "Returning to Miss San's words, yes." Niu Dazhuang saw that Qin Dai's expression seemed to have no displeasure, and he was able to put his heart at ease a little. However, he still kept his head down, only daring to glance up briefly to look at her expression before responding.

  Qin Dai Xin didn't have a good impression of this timid and fearful person, but the matter at Xiao Qian Zhuang still needed to be handled by "one's own people". Although Ma Shi wasn't considered one of their own, she was after all someone they had dealt with before, who knew her weaknesses. This Niu Da Zhuang, whose name didn't match his personality, was timid like a mouse, but also a clever person. As long as he was slightly threatened and tempted, those who saw would naturally not see anything.

  Qin Daiyu calculated the time, Qian Pobai is already on his way now, and he's probably not walking slowly. If they set out now, they shouldn't meet up. Thinking again, Pei Hu and others aren't fools either, and it's impossible for them to wait on the road with horses and knives. They must have thought of a suitable plan to meet up with each other.

  With this thought in mind, I felt at ease and ordered Ruyi to harness the oxen and head towards Xiaofront Village.

  P.S: Sorry for the rush!
