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

Gu Changqing was confused, but became more curious.

Auntie spoke so seriously, what exactly did she want to trouble him about?

If he couldn't do it, wouldn't he be disappointing her expectations?

Lin Qing said with a smile: "Changqing, didn't you just say that you can make money by copying books? Then please make an extra copy for Damao when you copy."

Seeing Gu Changqing's surprised expression, Lin Qing hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I will treat you fairly based on the usual price."

Only then did Gu Changqing realize that he had been a little mean-spirited and had misunderstood his aunt's intentions.

It would have been fine if she didn't want to use the books she copied for Brother Damao to pay off her debt, but she actually wanted to give herself money?

Looking at Gu Damao, who was beside his aunt and also had a surprised expression on his face and was so excited that he almost cried, and then thinking about what she had just said, he was really moved by her sincere heart.

After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt's knowledge is unconventional, Changqing really admires it."

[Ding, Gu Changqing's character favorability increased by 10. Please keep up the good work.]

[Ding, the side quest "Breaking the Engagement" has been completed, and the quest rewards are being calculated... Congratulations on receiving 2 pieces of cloth, and your needlework skill has increased by 15%.]

[Ding, the side quest I took was returned to me but it's not completed yet, no reward.]

Lin Ting heard the system prompt sound and curled up the corners of her mouth. Hehe, she made the right bet!

I didn’t expect that my favorability points would increase so much all at once, and I gained a lot!

As for money, it is just material possessions. If you can't get it back, then you can't get it back.

On this side, Gu Damao was holding Gu Ermiao down hard, fearing that he would do something excessive. However, when he heard his mother's arrangements, and that she always considered him and favored him, he unconsciously loosened his grip on his brother a little.

The feeling of happiness sprouted out like bamboo shoots after rain, flowing from his heart to every limb in an instant, making his nose feel a little sore. He wanted to speak but his throat was choked and no sound came out.

Gu Ermiao was still thinking about what his mother had just said.

Although he hated his mother's cowardly attitude towards his uncle's family and was eager to help her change herself and take back everything in his family, he didn't expect that after his mother really changed, the first thing she would do was to separate from him.

He... he doesn't want to be separated from his brothers...

It is said that people's sorrows and joys are not the same. He looked around with tears in his eyes and found that his brothers were not looking at him. He became even sadder and began to sob uncontrollably.

"Brother, do you think Mom really doesn't want me anymore?"

At this moment, Gu Damao, who had great trust in Lin Qing, refuted his second brother's words without hesitation, shook his hand tightly, and said solemnly:

"Er Miao, Mother is very different now. In my opinion, she must have other ulterior motives for doing this. Besides, even if she really wants you to move out, I will do my best to convince Mother that the four of us brothers will never be separated!"

Gu Sanmu and Gu Sihe also said in unison: "Yes, we will go to find mother too. We can't bear to leave our second brother either!"

Gu Ermiao held tightly the hands extended by his brothers, sniffed, and tried hard not to cry.

Gu Damao turned his head to look at his mother who was discussing the details of copying books with Gu Changqing. Although she was as petite as before, she was now as tall as a mountain in his heart.

He couldn't help but think back to what his mother had just said.

He always thought that his mother did not love them, but he did not expect that she actually took everything to heart and was the one who cared about them the most.

Just now he actually felt that his mother was ashamed. He absolutely shouldn't have done that!

Gu Damao clenched his fist and swore secretly—

I must earn a good future!

Rely on yourself to let your younger brothers live a healthy, stable and happy life without having to look at other people's faces and without their mother having to show up for them!

Seeing that the matter was resolved "satisfactorily", although he suffered some loss of face, Song Youliang felt relieved.

He looked down at Lin Qing's family and the embarrassed Gu Dahuai at the bottom of the stairs, and was filled with doubts.

I didn't have time to think about it just now. Did the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family change her personality because she was forced into a corner, or was it just her nature and she was just pretending?

I am knowledgeable and have seen a lot of things, but I can still fall into her hands. This woman is not simple.

Forget it, now that things have come to this, why bother thinking about these things?

The current trouble is to break off the engagement with the Jia family. After all, this matter was initiated by me...

Song Youliang stroked his beard with his hand and tapped the ground with his crutch a few times until he left a few white marks on the ground. Only then did everyone's eyes turn to him.

"Well, this is a solution that everyone is happy with! Changqing is indeed a good young man that our village is proud of. He knows good and evil and understands the truth!

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family is also a great person. She is tolerant and generous. She deserves to be honored by an archway for people to admire! Everyone should follow the example of the Gu family so that their families can be harmonious and flourish!"

As Gu Dahuai listened to everyone's compliments to his son, he suddenly felt his face getting hot again. He couldn't tell whether it was because he couldn't stand everyone's hypocrisy or because he felt ashamed and unworthy.

But when his gaze turned to Lin Qing's family, he suddenly came to his senses.

Why should I pretend to be a loving family with them even though I got beaten myself?

Gu Dahuai, who didn't want to suffer any loss, snorted coldly, tore off his mask, and kindly reminded:

"Sister-in-law, please don't forget that my twenty-five taels have been paid off, and you still have twenty-five taels in the hands of your brother from your mother's family. You are so sensible, don't just be mean to me, be lenient with your mother's family."

Lin Qing couldn't help but hear the hidden meaning in his words and glanced at him indifferently.

"Although my younger brother is stupid, he should be sensible. I believe that after he heard about Brother Dahuai's situation, he will definitely take the initiative to return the money to me."

Gu Dahuai sneered and said nothing.

"Even if he doesn't return it, I still have ways to deal with it. Thank you for your concern."

When Gu Dahuai heard her deliberately emphasize the words "there are plenty of ways", he unconsciously covered his face and hid backward. When he heard the ridicule, he turned around and walked into the house angrily.

When he went out again, he took out the keys and two deeds and wanted to throw them on the ground, but Gu Changqing took them first and handed them respectfully to Lin Qing.

Seeing that his son's elbows were so obviously bent outward, Gu Dahuai was really furious. He picked up the broom and started sweeping the yard.

"Let's go, let's go. We're full and have nothing to do. Let's go!"

Song Youliang glanced at the jumping Gu Dahuai indifferently, then slowly walked down the stairs and stood in front of Lin Qing. He looked at her for a long time before slowly saying:

"Don't worry, Gu family's eldest daughter-in-law. If you encounter any trouble again, or if someone bullies you, just come to me and I will definitely take care of it for you!"

Although Lin Qing had a bad impression of the village head, he still thanked him for his polite words.

Song Youliang forced a smile and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, go home and take care of your own business."

Seeing that there was nothing more exciting to watch, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Lin Qing was about to go next door with a few happy children when suddenly a figure came up to her.

"Mrs. Gu!"

Lin Qing was startled, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Song Lingshuang, the daughter of the village head who had just been beaten.
