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

Lin Qing could feel that bringing down the Jia family would definitely be a tough battle.

Although she now has a lot of evidence, she has not yet formed a complete chain of evidence, and how to spread it out remains to be considered.

Damao and Ermiao can help with this matter. Sanmu is an honest child and Sihe is still young. She is really worried that they will be in danger after being involved.

Now it may not be a bad thing that Sanmu is following Song Youzu to learn farming.

As for the Four Rivers...

Gu Sihe happily came up and hugged Lin Qing's waist, interrupting her thoughts.

"Mom, let's go see if Brother Cheng is here to pick the sour dates. I haven't seen him for a day, I miss him so much!"

Lin Qing was a little puzzled. After spending a long time together, why was this kid so close to strangers?

Gu Ermiao exposed him without giving him any face.

"Humph, I think you're just coveting the picture book that Senior Brother Jiang brought you, right?"

Lin Qing tapped Gu Sihe's forehead and said helplessly, "You, did your mother ever tell you that you can't just take other people's things?"

Gu Ermiao acted like a brother, put his arm around Gu Sihe's shoulders, and said protectively, "Don't worry, Mom. I've already given some of the sour jujube cakes you made to Senior Brother Jiang. He said they were enough to buy this set of picture books."

"Yes, yes, mother, and I'm just borrowing Brother Cheng's picture book to read, not asking him to give it to me!"

Little picture book?

Lin Qing suddenly had a burst of inspiration and everything became clear.

Not many people in this era could read, so if the evil deeds of the Jia family were spread solely through words, the effect would certainly be greatly reduced.

It would be better to learn from the model of comic books.

It is easy to understand, even if you can't read. It is interesting and has a lot of topics, which can attract people to actively discuss and spread by word of mouth...

But this brings another problem to the fore.

Where can I find someone who can draw?

Seeing that their family also wanted to join in the fun of harvesting sour dates, Songni hurriedly unloaded all the things and said:

"Sister Lin, I have to go back and haul some more stuff. I guess I won't be here until the afternoon. If you have anything else to do, just go ahead and do it!"

So Lin Qing decided to go out with the whole family.

The remaining two sons finally persuaded Gu Damao to go out with them, and the four of them, mother and sons, headed towards the foot of the mountain together.

They heard deafening quarrels from afar, and when they saw the dense crowds of people in front of them, several people suddenly wanted to retreat.

Gu Ermiao carefully identified it, his eyes shining as he said, "Mom, it really seems to be Senior Brother Jiang's voice. Is he in trouble? Let's go check it out!"

Lin Qing hurriedly told Gu Damao to keep an eye on Gu Sihe, and then let Gu Ermiao, like a wild dog, drag her into the crowd.

The person surrounded in the middle of the open space was indeed Manager Qian's apprentice Jiang Yi.

He was standing on the ox cart in a panic, tightly holding onto two rickety wooden barrels, his legs trembling, and shouting orders to the "guards" around him:

"Don't forget that today's mission is to protect these sour dates! If anything goes wrong, you won't get a penny of your wages!"

Lin Qing clearly noticed that the eyes of these burly men were instantly filled with dissatisfaction and resentment.

After exchanging glances, the leader nodded, and the others obediently stretched out their arms to block the villagers who were about to surround them, shouting fiercely:

"Hey, do you know who this young man is? Did you hear what he said? Get away from me! My fists don't recognize anyone!"

The leader of the villagers was the headman's wife, Liu.

She pinched her waist, held her head high and said proudly, "I don't care where you are from, and I don't care who you are, but these sour dates belong to us in Songsi Village. Even if they fall to the ground and rot, they are still ours. Don't even think about taking a single one!"

Seeing that the excited crowd was pushing harder and harder, the oxcart, which was already overloaded, began to creak, and the ox also made some frightened neighing sounds. Coupled with the condemnation that rose one after another like waves, Jiang Yi's face turned even paler.

Just when Jiang Yi thought he was really going to be trapped to death in Songsi Village today, and was shivering, not knowing what to do, he looked around and suddenly saw Lin Qing.

At that moment, he felt like he saw the savior and tears almost fell.

Gu Ermiao received Lin Qing's instructions and quickly walked to the side of the ox cart. Jiang Yi said anxiously, "Make way, make way, let him get on!"

The people in Songsi Village were very surprised that a traitor suddenly appeared among them, and looked at Lin Qing in confusion.

Liu asked, "Gu's daughter-in-law, what do you mean by this? Shouldn't you avoid people if you are so rude?"

Lin Qing forced a smile but did not answer. Gu Ermiao took advantage of the chaos to quickly climb onto the ox cart and whispered a few words into Jiang Yi's ear. The latter's frown gradually relaxed, and the light in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Okay, okay, Madam, you are truly amazing! I will do as you say!"

Jiang Yi cleared his throat, clapped his hands to stop the noise, and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, I am really sorry. It's my fault that I was ignorant and forgot to introduce myself.

I'm an apprentice at Qian's Preserved Fruit Shop in town. You can just call me Xiao Jiang. This time I came to Guibaodi because my master bought a recipe for sour jujube cake from Madam Lin. We searched all over town and only Songsi Village had it, so he wanted to buy it from us.

Everyone was almost unable to react for a moment.

When did Mrs. Gu get involved in the candied fruit shop in town?

How could she have a recipe for sour jujube cake?

Jiang Yi’s next words surprised everyone even more.

"We come here every ten days to collect sour dates. The price is two cents per pound. Of course, if someone stops by town to sell to us, we won't let them work in vain. We will subsidize their travel expenses by two cents, which means they will earn four cents per pound."

No one expected that the sour dates thrown on the roadside and no one wanted them could be sold at such a high price!

Then they looked down at the many sour dates that had been trampled when they gathered around just now. The pain was so severe that it almost felt like several pieces of flesh had been torn off their bodies. They reminded each other not to move around. Those who were quick-eyed and quick-handed had already lowered their heads and used the hems of their clothes as pockets, and began to pick up the fruits in a hurry.

Seeing that everyone had collapsed like loose sand over a small profit, Liu was so angry that she beat her feet and stamped her chest, shouting anxiously:

"You're talking about the price we'll charge you later! Don't pretend I didn't see it. Your bucket is full. Do you think you're going to take it away for free? We're not bullying outsiders. You're just trying to fool us with your nice words..."

Before Liu could finish, Jiang Yi jumped out of the car, took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand, smiling harmlessly.

"Auntie, you're obviously in charge. I'm confident I'll give you the money! This is the money I earned from harvesting sour dates. Please divide it among everyone! This is all I'll take today. Goodbye!"

After saying this, without waiting for Liu to refuse, he hurriedly ordered someone to drive the ox cart towards Lin Qing's house.

Hearing the noise behind him was even more intense than when they were fighting over the sour dates just now, Jiang Yi didn't dare to look back. He patted his chest, rubbed his eyes which were about to cry, and held Gu Ermiao's hand tightly, leaving several nail marks.
