After rebirth, Jiaojiao Cook and Silly Marquis counterattacked

Chapter 241 3 Children

Because Dong Qian thought about making Qin Han wait for her for too long last night, Dong Qian only remembered it after she left, so she immediately rushed back to tell him.

Before Qin Han could say a few words, Dong Qian left home again. At this time, Qin Hao walked in front of him with the empty bowls and chopsticks, and a little smile.

Qin Han almost couldn't hold it back. If he hadn't thought that he was still injured, he would have hit him without hesitation.

Soon Dong Qian came over in the direction Qin Hao said. At this time, large tracts of fields were barren with no crops on them, which made Dong Qian a little confused.

Logically speaking, most of the farmland should now be planted with wheat. Dong Qian didn't see anyone after walking for a long time. At first, she thought there was something wrong with the fields.

Dong Qian didn't know much about the things inside the soil, but she could still distinguish the quality of the soil. The land in this farm was considered good, and the land was soft. Qian was a little confused.

The main source of income for the farm is farming. There are no crops in the land, so there will naturally be no extra income.

The sky is gradually getting darker, and it's just before noon. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be dark.

On the road, she met an old man carrying a burden and preparing to leave in a hurry. Dong Qian caught him and asked doubtfully: "Old man, do you know who owns this farm?"

"You said this area belongs to Lao Zhang's family not far ahead, but their family..." The old man didn't finish his sentence, but his face was full of regret.

Dong Qian looked at him and nodded, and then she continued to move forward. Since she was already here, she had better ask first, and the whole field was indeed good. If she could plant potatoes, she would definitely gain a lot.

The batch that was planted last time has been harvested. Not only the family has a lot, but other villagers in Yancheng also have a lot. After all, five or six potatoes can grow from one piece.

Dong Qian kept moving forward while planning in her mind what to plant in this farmland.

Suddenly, a piece of coldness fell on the back of her neck. Dong Qian couldn't help but wince a few times. The touch turned into water. Then Dong Qian looked up and saw heavy snow like goose feathers floating in the sky.

Fortunately, Dong Qian wore more clothes when she went out today, so she didn't feel cold at all now.

Dong Qian quickened her pace and continued to walk forward. A shadowy house appeared in her field of vision. Before she got closer, she heard a strange sound.

Only when Dong Qian got closer did she understand that it was sadness and joy.

There was steam rising in front of the house. Dong Qian took a closer look and saw three small people kneeling in front of the brazier. Standing around were several people playing sad music instruments. They stopped as soon as Dong Qian arrived.

The eldest among them was a girl who looked about the same age as Dong Qian, but because of crying for a long time, her eyes were red and looked like a rabbit.

"Who are you? Are you here to collect a debt?" She sniffed and looked like she was about to cry again.

Dong Qian waved her hands and said, "No, I'm just looking for who the owner of this farm is. I have something to do."

After hearing her explanation, the girl nodded doubtfully, "This farm belongs to our family, but my father and mother..."

Before the words were finished, the children started crying again. Not only was the oldest one crying, but the two younger children below also started crying together. Dong Qian was shocked to hear that one was older than the other.

She is here to discuss business today, not to coax children.

But she had no other choice but to calm their emotions first.

The eldest is this sister, and there are two younger brothers below, but they don't look very old.

During their intermittent descriptions, Dong Qian realized what exactly happened.

After harvesting all the crops in the field, the couple planned to sell them at a good price, but they were robbed early on the way to sell the goods and were killed without even a body.

Although Yancheng has tried its best to find out about this matter, after all, it is some unknown robbers, which is a common occurrence at the junction outside.

Because people on both sides don't want to take care of it, things always end up being unresolved.

Under Dong Qian's comfort, these children lay in the room and fell asleep slowly. Perhaps they felt that Dong Qian's presence was very safe, and they slept deeply.

Dong Qian walked outside the room and helped pay these people's wages. There was no one around the entire farm.

I originally thought I could go back soon, but looking at it now, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

The weather was getting colder, but the small house had some drafts. Dong Qian sat in front of the fire, but there wasn't much firewood left.

Several children were covered with a thin quilt, so Dong Qian had no choice but to wake them up.

"You two, come with me now. This place can no longer be inhabited." Dong Qian found it hard to imagine what kind of life they had lived before.

The children hesitated for a while, but finally decided to follow Dong Qian, so Dong Qian went out and brought three people back, which surprised Qin Han.

The oldest one is as old as Dong Qian, but she does not have the maturity of mind like Dong Qian. When she comes to a strange place, she only dares to hold the hands of her brothers and stand there awkwardly.

While Dong Qian was cooking for the children, she briefly told him the situation. Qin Han helplessly held his forehead.

"What's wrong, do you think what I did is wrong?" Dong Qian looked at the expression on his face and felt that he was very disappointed in herself.

But Qin Han didn't think so. Instead, he thought that for this kind of matter, he should go to the children's relatives first, otherwise it would be easy for others to take advantage of him.

But the matter has come to this, and Dong Qian has no other choice.

The cooked noodles were brought over, and several children wolfed them down.

"Do you know any relatives here?" Dong Qian thought that her plan to buy a farm had come to nothing.

The girl couldn't help but shrink back, and said with a stubborn face, "We're not going!"

"Why? You can't stay here forever, right?" Dong Qian thought at first that these children were really relying on her.

Finally, under Dong Qian's constant questioning, they finally told the truth.

She looked at Dong Qian with tears in her eyes, "Sister, you are the best person I have ever met. Those so-called relatives before were actually just here for our family's land deed."

Soon she took out the land deeds without hesitation, a thick stack.

If we sell them all directly, we should have 1000 taels of silver.

But according to what several children said, the relatives only gave them 100 taels, hoping that they would hand over the land deed directly.

The girl was too old to be deceived, so she told them that the land deed was not in her hands.
