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

Seeing that the two young masters were very excited, Lin Qing quietly called Du Shaoyou and Gu Changqing over.

"Before dinner, Shihe went to call Sanmu, but he said he had to get up early the next morning to plow the fields, so he stayed at Uncle Youzu's house. I thought this would make room for Shaoyou, but I didn't expect these two to come."

Du Shaoyou naturally understood her concerns and said with a smile, "Aunt Lin, you don't have to worry. Changqing and I will go next door. I was originally thinking of some excuse to have a candlelight chat with him at night."

Gu Changqing also smiled: "Very good!"

Lin Qing felt relieved and signaled Xing Wenjie to hold Yongfeng. The former rolled his eyes silently but still obediently carried out the order.

Yongfeng had a favorable impression of Lin Qing and stood at attention and asked, "Madam, what do you want?"

"Don't be nervous. I just want to tell you that you can sleep together with Jie Wen and Si He tonight, okay?"

Yongfeng was surprised.

How can this lady be so nice?!

Surprisingly, they even arranged accommodation for him!

He had originally planned to confirm where the two young masters lived and then sleep with Ma for the night. Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect...

Yongfeng rubbed his sore eyes, and with gratitude in his heart he made up his mind immediately.

From now on, if Madam needs him, he will go through fire and water for her, no matter what!

When he went to Gu Ermiao's room to find his master, he discovered that he had already begun to undress and prepare for bed. He asked anxiously, "Sir, aren't you going to stay at the headman's house tonight?"

He Hongcheng was learning from Gu Ermiao how to keep accounts quickly. Seeing Gu Ermiao's ignorant flower arrangement, he frowned and said, "Nonsense! With this mansion and a good master like Ermiao, why would I go anywhere else?"

Yongfeng tiptoed back and hurried to the village head's house to deliver the message. Lin Qing signaled Xing Wenjie to follow quickly.

Although there is no danger in the village, it is still better to be cautious.

Xing Wenjie had lost the desire to refute, nodded, and flew out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

He Hongcheng leaned on the windowsill and stammered, "Husband, Madam, you are truly extraordinary. Your sons all possess unique skills!"

After the two returned, Du Shaoyou and Gu Changqing also said goodbye to everyone and went back to sleep.

Zhang Maoen thought it would be a peaceful night. He was fiddling with the lamp and chatting with Gu Damao. When he looked up, he saw Lin Qing standing at the door with a worried look on his face.

He was immediately overjoyed.

I was just thinking about how to win over this family, and this is a godsend opportunity.

So he quickly stood up and said, "Madam, are you facing any difficulties? Please tell me. If there is anything I can help you with, I will definitely not refuse."

Seeing that he was easily hooked, Lin Qing tried hard to keep a smile on her face and acted very embarrassed.

"Well, to be honest, I've never been to the town. I heard from Changqing that the town has everything, and there are even poetry gatherings for scholars. Damao is thinking of going there, and I'd like to borrow your time too. I wonder if you, Mr. Song, could take us to see the world?"

Zhang Maoen turned around and looked at Gu Damao, clapping his hands and smiling.

Yes, how could he forget such a good opportunity!

"Oh, I thought it was going to be something really difficult! What a coincidence! As far as I know, the Jia family will have a poetry gathering at the end of this month. I will ask someone to pick you up then."

Lin Qing thanked him gratefully. After this conversation, both of them felt that they had gained the upper hand and went to sleep happily.

The next morning, Lin Qing was awakened by the noise again as expected.

She was almost going crazy when she heard a voice in the yard that was smiling but full of harsh words.

"Oh, it's only been a few days since we last met, and you've even used a carriage? I don't know what kind of noble person you met, but why do you keep all of it to yourself? Don't you want to help our village?

"That was the case last time. You only wanted Er Miao to be an apprentice in the preserves shop, but you cut off a huge source of income for our village!"

Lin Qing suddenly woke up, rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked over. He was shocked to find that the person who came was Xiangzhi. He thought to himself that something was wrong.

We can't let her talk nonsense anymore!

She had already mentioned the preserves shop, and if she continued she would probably expose her lie that she had never been to the town.

This will be troublesome.

Gu Ermiao in the courtyard was unable to stop her from talking. When Lin Qing got up to comb her hair at lightning speed, she heard He Hongcheng's furious voice coming from the side room.

"Where did this shrew come from? Don't you know that disturbing someone's sleep is like killing their parents?!"

That was true, but his roar was even louder than Xiangzhi's.

And each stab was deeper than the last.

"Those who borrow money or come to collect debts all know that they shouldn't come to our house so early in the morning. Why would such a kind person come to make a fuss at this time? Are they here to extort money?!"

Although Xiangzhi was used to being criticized, it was always done in secret and no one had ever said anything unpleasant to her openly.

Such excessive words!

Xiangzhi was so angry that her mouth and eyes were almost crooked. She asked in a stern voice, "Who is gossiping like this? Do you dare to come out and explain it to me face to face?"

The voice became more mocking and continued:

"Humph, who are you to ask me to come out and see you? Normally, a lowly bastard like you wouldn't even look at me even if you came to me on your knees and begged to see me, yet you dare to shout at me!"

Xiangzhi heard him speak arrogantly and wondered which rich kid this was. She was about to speak to test his identity, but she saw Lin Qing pushing the door and walking out. His smiling face made her anger disappear immediately.

"Why are you here at this time, Xiangzhi? Is there something important you want to talk to me about?"

Xiangzhi took a few deep breaths and calmed down. Then she immediately changed her expression and stepped forward to hold Lin Qing's hand, but she shook it off without a word.

To ease the awkwardness, Xiangzhi chuckled awkwardly a few times and said, "I, I don't have anything important to do. I just want to learn how to make candied fruit from you, sister-in-law. I hope you won't look down on me for being stupid."

After saying that, she stuffed a few pieces of cloth from the bag into Lin Qing's arms, smiled sweetly and said a few nice words.

But before Lin Qing could reply, she heard another sneer.

"Tsk, the sun's out, why are people still daydreaming?"

Xiangzhi heard the voice coming from above his head and looked up in surprise. Facing the sunlight, he couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly. He only vaguely saw a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, and his contempt was particularly obvious.

"You want someone to teach you a skill just for a few pieces of rags? Do you know that the lady buys cloth in whole pieces, and the material is many times better than yours. How could she be interested in your scraps?

"Besides, you just said so many unpleasant things. Do you want us to treat you like a mad dog barking?"

He Hongcheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although Xiangzhi didn't know whether his words were true or not, her face turned red and white after being humiliated like this.

He wanted to refute but didn't know how to start. He opened his mouth but had nothing to say. He could only look at Lin Qing for help.
