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

Gu Dahuai, who was sitting at home, heard the noise from afar and knew that it must be the ghosts of those children who had lingered and returned.

After all, their home is outside the village, and apart from a few nephews, few people visit them.

But listening to the clattering footsteps and noisy voices, it didn't seem like there were only three of them.

Tsk, he has become smarter and even knows to find help.

But who can these young boys ask for help?

He wasn't worried about the mob.

Gu Dahuai continued to squin his eyes and hum the out-of-tune opera, slurping the tea brought by Master Jia.

Although he didn't know how to make tea, let alone taste it, he still drank the bitter red soup to pretend.

His daughter-in-law Gou was standing in the courtyard outside the main house.

Gou had never seen the world before, and she paced back and forth nervously. When she saw the betrothal gift list on the mahogany box, she picked it up as if she had found a life-saving straw and checked it for the umpteenth time.

Gu Dahuai sneered in disdain: "Tsk, do you know how to read? You read it eight hundred times a day!"

Gou lowered her head in shame and said sheepishly, "I, I just feel happy when I see it is filled with words!"

As he spoke, he stroked the silk covering the box, his eyes moist and he sighed softly.

"With these things as a dowry, Daya will definitely be able to hold her head high in her husband's family, and Changqing won't have to worry about the salary!"

Gou wiped her tears and said, "Then let's see who dares to look down on our family and say we are a small family!"

Gu Dahuai spat out the tea leaves he had accidentally swallowed, puffed his beard and glared, slammed the table and scolded, "Who dares to speak ill of our humble family behind our backs? I'll go to his house and scold him!"

Gou lowered her head and said in panic, "Who else could it be? It must be Song Dadong..."

"Oh……"

Gu Dahuai suddenly seemed to be half a head shorter. When he saw Gou looking at him quietly, he straightened his back again.

"You long-haired, short-sighted woman! Isn't our family counting on Changqing? He's a top student at Songyang Academy. The dean even praised his pragmatic and logical writing, saying he has the demeanor of a prime minister!"

When Gou heard her husband's cold tone, her face turned ashen. She covered her arms and shrank to the side, not daring to speak again, but her heart was as clear as a mirror.

The reason why Changqing was able to enter Songyang Academy was because he replaced Gu Damao next door?

Last year, the admission requirements of Songyang Academy included not only an in-class test, but also a daily essay to assess the candidate's academic talent.

As the entrance examination approaches, Gu Changqing, who is usually as calm as a pine tree, becomes more and more anxious.

The couple saw the situation and felt anxious. After Gu Dahuai asked indirectly, they learned that Changqing and Gu Damao were the only two people in the village who were qualified to enter the academy.

Changqing actually felt that he was not as good as Gu Damao, and was worried that he would lose to him in the entrance examination and lose the opportunity to study.

Gu Dahuai raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"You mean, the poor kid next door who can't even afford to buy books and can only read yours can actually write better than you?"

Gu Changqing was very dissatisfied with his father's contemptuous words.

"Dad, as the saying goes, a weak mother makes a merchant, while a strong father makes a minister. In my opinion, my uncle is tall and brave, and although my aunt is a woman, she also knows how to plan for her children. Growing up in such an environment, Big Brother Mao's future is definitely limitless."

Gu Dahuai's mouth corners were almost pulled down to his feet, and he did not comment on his son's words.

"Okay, okay, his future is limitless. We don't care whether he can enter the academy or not, you will definitely have no problem."

At that time, Gu Changqing didn't know why his father was so sure. It was only a long time later that he realized that his father had actually used a very despicable method -

He stole Gu Damao's homework, changed it to Gu Changqing's name and submitted it to the academy;

Gu Damao discovered that the article was lost when he arrived at the gate of the academy. His pleas were in vain and he had no one to turn to, so he had to return home dejectedly.

From then on, the two of them were worlds apart.

After enrolling in the school, Gu Changqing was personally summoned by the dean because of his writing. The dean praised him highly and even praised him during the lecture, saying, "Changqing's writing has the style of a prime minister."

After all these things were reported back to Songsi Village, Gu Dahuai accepted everyone's admiration with peace of mind, but Gou became more and more frightened.

Although she was a woman and did not understand the lofty things of studying, when she thought that the dean was actually praising Damao for his writing and not her own Chang Qingshi, she felt like she was standing on a cliff full of knife points, and she didn't know when she would fall.

She was always worried that this matter would be revealed and affect her own youth. A few days ago, when she met Damao while digging wild vegetables, she couldn't help but ask him indirectly whether he had any regrets about not being able to go to Songyang Academy.

Damao wiped the sweat off his face and smiled reluctantly.

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I didn't get into the academy, it must be because of my bad luck."

Seeing him exposed to the sun and wind, with no clothes to cover his body, Gou couldn't help but think that he could have lived a peaceful life like her own Chang Qing, living in the academy without worrying about food and drink, just reciting articles, and then waiting to pass the imperial examination and become a disciple of the emperor next year. But now...

Guilt and apology were entangled in her heart, and she was about to tell the whole truth, but a gust of cool wind suddenly woke her up.

It is said that even a rabbit will bite when it is angry. If she tells the truth, how will the neighboring family retaliate against her eldest son Changqing?

Gou, covered in cold sweat, met Gu Damao's worried eyes. She was a little frightened for no reason and said with a wry smile, "I, I heard from Changqing that Damao's articles are very well written. There will be no problem next year!"

Gu Damao smiled brightly and said, "Thanks to your good wishes, Auntie, I hope that my articles won't be lost again next year."

Gou seemed to have his tail stepped on and turned to run away.

But Damao warned from behind her, "The wind has been really strong these past two days, and most of the paper Changqing gave me has been blown away. You must ask Changqing to keep an eye on his things to prevent them from getting into trouble."

The huge stone in Gou's heart fell to the ground with a loud bang.

She didn't know whether to praise Gu Damao for his simple mind or feel sorry for his kindness in always considering others.

The child had no suspicion at all that his homework was not blown away by the wind, but was stolen.

When Gou came back and told Gu Dahuai about it, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression immediately changed.

"You damn bitch, if this gets out and spreads, not only will our reputations be ruined, but Changqing will also be expelled from Songyang Academy! If you still have your son in your heart, keep your mouth shut!"

Gou nodded hurriedly, but in Gu Dahuai's opinion, he felt that it was really unreliable to pin his hopes on this woman.

In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, we still have to think of a way to eradicate it.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Dahuai came up with an idea, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Just drive this family away.

Or you can take that woman who only knows how to cry into your room. Once she becomes your woman, she will naturally not cause trouble.

Unfortunately, before Gu Dahuai could implement his sinister plan, the entire Songyang County fell into famine.
