Duan Xiaohe expressed a deep suspicion towards Qin Rui, as she was the only one in the Liu Village who could read and understand words. If one were to say that others had grown up in the ground, then he was the only one who could grow in the entire Liu Village. His hands were even more beautiful than her own. How could such a person work in the fields?

Don't talk nonsense.

But the reality was that the Liu San did not come back, all the work on Duan Xiaohe's land had been taken care of by Qin Rui and Liu Er. Qin Rui, a white-faced doctor, was actually able to plant seedlings in the fields and plow the land in a decent manner.

Then, people in the village started gossiping, saying that Qin Rui took advantage of Liu San's absence to start plotting against him. In the past he had been good to Liu San, but now he was not, and so he was good to Liu Da. There was only one reason, and that was to go towards Duan Xiaohe.

This kind of gossip became more and more intense, even Liu Jinfu came over to ask.

Liu Jinfu said that he had gone to the county to see the Begonia in the spring. The Begonia said that Qin Rui had been frustrated and had gone on a tour of the mountains and rivers. However, his daughter always thought that Qin Rui was at the Liu Village, that she would circle around Duan Xiaohe all day and even help raise the seed in the spring. Liu Jinfu said that this was the first time Qin Rui worked so hard since he came to Liu Village.

These words were very cryptic, but they were also very direct. Duan Xiaohe nodded, ”You are indeed hardworking.”

Liu Jinfu became a little anxious, ”Aren't you afraid of those words? When Liu San comes back in the future and hears all these, what will you think in your heart? ”

Just at that time, Qin Rui walked in from outside and closed his mouth. Qin Rui stood in front of him, and politely invited him to the side to say a few words.

He did not know how Qin Rui managed to trick him, but when Liu Jinfu came in with a dark face and smiled, he went out, causing Duan Xiaohe to be baffled.

She ran over to Qin Rui and asked how he managed to trick her. Qin Rui answered seriously. I'm telling the truth. Only when I leave will Yao Zhen be able to catch up with the Begonia and get married out of it. As your father, he naturally wants to see such a joyous thing the most. ”

Duan Xiaohe curled her lips, and then nodded her head in an extremely perfunctory manner.

”I'm thirsty, I'm thirsty, and you don't know how to bring water and cakes to the fields. ”Why don't you go buy a cow tomorrow? Even if you continue on like this, ten men won't be enough for you.”

Qin Rui looked at her deeply, ”This piece of land is too big.”

Duan Xiaohe thought for a while and then decided that her family really wanted an ox. Now that it was spring, she could also go out and cut weeds to save money on fodder.

”I'll go to town tomorrow.”

”I'll go with you. I'm a doctor after all. What if someone's cow is sick and they cheat you of your money? I'll be a bit more at ease as well.”

Duan Xiaohe raised her eyebrows, ”So Doctor Qin is a vet.”

Qin Rui chuckled, ”Who cares about doctors, as long as they can treat me.”

The next day, the two of them went to the town to look after a cow and bought a basket of chicken. Qin Rui was someone who could bargain, his attitude was even more impressive than any woman in the village. The chicken buyer was annoyed to death by him. He threw two ducklings into the basket, saying that it was a gift. He told them to leave quickly and not block the way to the business.

Qin Rui picked one up and showed it to them. He said that the little duck did not seem to be energetic, but was afraid that it was already sick, if it was contagious, he would have to make these little chicks suffer as well.

”You don't have to do this. I can see that you're not very energetic. I'll buy it too. I'll give you one tael of silver.”

The owner became anxious, ”If you're not buying, then hurry up and leave. I'm not going to do this business of yours!”

Qin Rui stood there like a log, chattering on and on about the ducks. Duan Xiaohe could not bear to watch anymore, so she took out two taels of silver and gave it to the man.

”I only have two taels, are you selling it?”

The owner waved his hand, ”This one costs a bit more than 10 taels of gold, I'll lose if you offer this price.” ”Go, go, go!”

Duan Xiaohe was embarrassed, she did not want to buy these things, so she did not bring enough money, only two taels of silver on him. She pulled Qin Rui, but Qin Rui just ignored her and just stood there blabbering. The boss was angry, so he said three taels and let them take it.

Qin Rui nimbly took out three taels of silver and threw them to the owner, placing the two baskets on the oxcart and shouting towards Duan Xiaohe before leaving.

Duan Xiaohe looked at the two baskets of chattering children, and asked him with lifted eyes: ”I didn't see that this duck was not energetic either, could it be that it's really sick?”

Qin Rui laughed, and said that the duck was pretty good, and was not sick at all. He only saw that the duck could not be sold, and intentionally suppressed the price. The spring had just begun and the weather was still rather cold. These kids were having a hard time living. If the boss didn't want to sell, it would be at his hands. He had to pay them three taels of silver.

What a talent!

He drove the ox-cart back to his house, shouted at Liu Da, and pulled a chicken coop with a fence, then stuck a few wooden sticks at the side, and used a few cloths to cover the entire place. Qin Rui shook his head, saying that she would have to kill these little things in less than two days.

He turned around and snatched away the shears Xia Yu was making. Kacha kacha, he snipped twice, leaving the door open for the little chicken and duckling. It was covered with two more planks, sheltered from the rain.

Duan Xiaohe laughed and gave the scissors back to Xia Yu.
