At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Mrs. Wu sneered, turned around, took an oil lamp, and walked into the house to greet them.

Her yard was not big, but it was packed with two carts filled with all kinds of tools.

In addition, the car was piled with many exquisite gift boxes, food boxes, etc., which were not in line with the dilapidated courtyard.

They only needed three or five steps to reach the main hall, but they ended up walking more than ten meters after making many turns.

After entering the room, Wu slammed the oil lamp onto the table with a bang. The splashing oil scalded the dozing Songni, giving him a start.

Songni looked up at his wife with a sullen face and didn't dare to speak.

These past few days, every time my wife came back from watching the fun at Gu's house, she seemed to be possessed by some evil spirit, and her words sounded like a lit firecracker.

Fearing bad luck, Songni could only shrink his neck and pretend to be transparent, but he still muttered, "I can't eat enough, and I'm not allowed to go to bed early. This life is really unbearable."

When Lin Qing looked down, he found a small plate on the eight-immortals table with a few pickles on it and two empty bowls stacked together. It seemed that they had just finished dinner and had not had time to clean up.

No wonder there was no response when I knocked on the door for so long.

Mrs. Wu glared at Songni fiercely, asked Lin Qing to sit down, and stood behind her husband. Whether intentionally or not, she happened to block Lin Qing's view of the ear room.

The more this happened, the more it attracted Lin Qing's attention.

Although it was just a quick glance, she saw a pregnant woman lying on the bed in the ear room.

Lin Qing was shocked.

Could that be Xifeng?

Why is she so pregnant?

Could it be true, as Shopkeeper Qian said, that her engagement was broken off because her virginity was lost?

Lin Qing suppressed the shock in his heart and tried hard to put on a smile to bring up the topic.

"Xifeng goes to bed quite early."

Wu snorted coldly without answering. She simply moved her body to completely block the doorway and said coldly, "We just exchanged a few words through the door. I didn't have time to ask in detail. I wonder how you plan to raise the wall?"

Wu listened to Lin Qing telling her all her requests in detail, and she really admired this small but ambitious young wife!

Not only does she want to build the courtyard wall as high as Gu Dahuai's house next door, but she also wants to add a screen wall. Isn't that clearly a challenge to Gu Dahuai?

Tsk, when Dasong was around, their two families were brothers that everyone in the village envied; as soon as he left, it seemed like the families were going to become enemies for life!

Wu suppressed her playful gaze and said, "Sister Lin, I'm going to be frank with you. We have no problem taking on your job, but as the saying goes, even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Without wages, it's hard for us to buy the ingredients, right?"

Lin Qing was waiting for her to say this.

"Don't worry, Sister Wu. How could I dare treat you and Brother Songni unfairly? Master Jia gave us so many things. If I just pawn a few of them, I should be able to pay the wages, right?"

Wu was shocked by her innocence.

"Ah? If you break off the engagement, don't you have to return the betrothal gifts?"

Lin Qing feigned ignorance: "Do I still need to return it? I see there seem to be quite a few betrothal gifts in your yard, Sister Wu. Why doesn't Xifeng have to return it, but mine does?"

When Mrs. Wu heard her say this, she felt as if a soft spot had been struck. Her face turned gloomy and she turned away to leave, but she still endured and negotiated the price with Lin Qing.

During the negotiation, although Lin Qing tried to change the subject several times, wanting to find out how their family had successfully broken off the engagement with the Jia family, Wu did not give her any chance. After the deal was settled, she sent her away without hesitation.

"Alright, alright, the price has been agreed upon. Sister Lin, you should quickly find a way to sell more buns to raise the money. It's getting dark, so you should go back quickly to avoid any danger on the road."

Lin Qing thought to himself that this was not good.

She was still too anxious.

At this point, if she continued to force him to stay, it would only backfire, so she had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, looking for another opportunity to test the waters.

But before he stepped out of the threshold of the main room, a loud thud was heard from the side room, as if something had fallen to the ground, followed by a woman's suppressed moan of pain.

Wu ignored them and rushed over like a gust of wind, almost falling down, and asked anxiously:

"Xifeng, Xifeng, are you okay? How did you fall down? Damn old man, are you stupid? You can't talk, why don't you look after your daughter?"

Lin Qing dodged the loose mud blocking his way and took the opportunity to squeeze in.

The candlelight in the main hall was dim, but it was enough for Lin Qing to see the girl in Wu's arms.

Her face was sallow, her facial features were sunken and dull, her limbs were as thin as dry firewood, and her belly was bulging.

Although Lin Qing didn't know medicine, he had watched many medical dramas and was sure that Xifeng was definitely not pregnant, but most likely had severe indigestion.

So he asked softly, "Sister Wu, what has Xifeng been eating recently?"

Mrs. Wu had no time to pay attention to her. She anxiously patted Xifeng's face and called her name crying, but the person in her arms still had her eyes closed and did not respond.

Lin Qing saw beads of sweat as big as beans oozing out of Xifeng's forehead, which were even shiny with oil, and she was breathing out more than breathing in, and knew that her situation was extremely urgent.

But seeing that Wu was still obsessed with the sonic attack, she simply would not give up until Xifeng's funeral was held in advance.

Just when Lin Qing was scratching his head, not knowing what to do, Lin Yuanxin pulled his sleeve and pointed at Song Ni who looked like an outsider.

Songni suddenly realized something and quietly gave Lin Yuanxin a thumbs-up. "Brother Songni, to be honest, I was resurrected from the dead and even met Xifeng in the Huanyang Palace."

Lin Yuanxin never expected Aunt Lin to say that. He looked at her in surprise, but then he thought that Aunt Lin was so powerful that it was possible that what she said was true.

Songni was also surprised. He immediately raised his head to look at Lin Qing and stammered, "So what?"

"At that time, Lady Mengpo said that Xifeng, like me, had already stepped halfway onto the Naihe Bridge, but the gods were merciful and took into consideration that I had not yet raised my children and Xifeng had not yet been filial to her parents. They could not bear to see us separated from our families forever, so they left us both a glimmer of hope.

"Since I can wake up, Xifeng is naturally not hopeless. But if you miss this opportunity, you will only be able to send her off with your old age..."

Songni was so frightened by these words that he trembled all over. After looking Lin Qing up and down carefully, and then recalling her unusual behavior after "coming back to life", he became even more convinced of this statement.

Yes, if it weren’t for the blessing of the gods, how could the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family be reborn!

She is Meng Po's messenger!

The messenger of God said that Xifeng can still be saved, so there is absolutely no problem!

Songni was both frightened and relieved. His knees gave way and he almost fell to his knees. He trembled and said, "I wonder what magical power Lady Mengpo has left for you. Did she tell you how to save my girl?"

Seeing that this method worked, Lin Qing looked at Xifeng's increasingly ugly expression and could not help but speak faster: "Of course, just tell me what Xifeng has eaten recently, and I will naturally find a way to save her!"
