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

Chapter 236: Life is like duckweed, fate is not in one's control

After some refusals, Lin Qing had no choice but to send the family of three out.

Wu suddenly grabbed her hand, and mysteriously motioned for Lin Qing to lean over to her ear. Then she whispered, "Sister Lin, Xiangzhi isn't from a good family. Stay away from her!"

Seeing the confusion on her face, Mrs. Wu gestured to Songni to help Xifeng into the car first and lowered her voice.

"I heard she came from a poor background, a prostitute in the red-light district! Because she was pretty, she was bought into the mansion by the lecherous Master Jia. How could such a woman, who had been slept with thousands of men, stay still? She was thrown out of the Jia Mansion because of her dissolute habits and her flirting with the young master!"

Ok?

Lin Qing really didn't expect that Xiangzhi also came from the Jia Mansion.

"Song Qin was an honest and respectable oil peddler who roamed the streets of our village. He happened to run into her when he was near the Jia Mansion, having just been kicked out. She was disheveled and pretending to be so pitiful, anyone could tell she wasn't from a good family. Yet, Song Qin couldn't bear it and actually married this destitute woman into his family! Who knew she wouldn't live an honest life after marriage, insisting on relying on that bastard Song Dadong?"

The more Lin Qing listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, and the inexplicable emotions in his heart became stronger.

Mrs. Wu sighed and said, "Sister Lin, I know you have a kind nature, but you shouldn't help everyone! Don't spread this out. Mo Dou's daughter-in-law, just because she felt sorry for that bitch and chatted with her a few times, was... was ruined by that bastard Song Dadong!

"That daughter-in-law was such a good girl. She respected her parents-in-law, was frugal, and was faithful. So she was so upset she wanted to hang herself. After being rescued, she felt sorry for her husband and went back to her parents' home. She hasn't come back yet. Listen to what they're spewing today. They're definitely trying to ruin your reputation!"

Lin Qing thought to himself, it seems that his guess was correct.

Song Dadong and Xiangzhi really have an ulterior motive.

Xiangzhi was like a wolf lying on Song Dadong. Whether she did it voluntarily or forced, such behavior was extremely inappropriate!

Women should not be men's accessories, let alone their tools to do evil!

I am really angry at their lack of fighting spirit and sad at their misfortune.

"I didn't expect them to come up with such a sinister idea! In that case, I have to thank Mrs. Wu even more. If it weren't for you and Brother Songni, I would have been harmed by him without even knowing it!"

Wu quickly waved her hands: "What you said is too polite!"

Lin Qing suddenly remembered something and asked quietly, "Sister Wu, you said she also came from the Jia Mansion. Did you ask her about Xifeng being taken as a concubine?"

Mrs. Wu's breath obviously stagnated, and she coughed twice with a guilty conscience.

"Well, I asked her about that, too. She said that if Xifeng were as smart as her, she would be kicked out; if she was stupid, she would die in the Jia Mansion."

Seeing that Wu's face was still full of indignation, Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Xifeng is not as bad as Wu said.

"Fortunately, the result was good. Xifeng didn't go to the Jia Mansion. Sister Wu, you don't have to worry about it."

Mrs. Wu also felt a little awkward.

"Now that I think about it, her words were well-intentioned, but they just sounded awkward! I thought she was comparing my baby to a prostitute like her... Forget it, let's go home and quickly prepare everything so we can start work in the next few days."

At this moment, Lin Qingjia.

As they ate and discussed, Gu Changqing said, "I've already persuaded my father and mother to go and help with the Wang family's funeral. The Wang family is very particular about formalities, so it will probably take them four or five days at the earliest to return."

Lin Qing nodded and praised, "Changqing's method is good. It not only delays the Dahuai brothers from going to the town, but also makes the attitude of the natal family clear to Daya's husband's family. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone."

Gu Changqing said modestly, "To be honest, I've been thinking about this idea for a long time, but you figured it out in just a moment, Auntie. You're truly amazing."

After a pause, Gu Changqing continued: "I came here today to tell my aunt and Big Brother Mao that I plan to take advantage of my parents going to Wang's house.

However, this reward is quite attractive.

We’ll deal with the Jia Mansion’s affairs later. There is another important matter that needs to be dealt with today.

Lin Qing clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the next focus will be Gu Ermiao."

Gu Ermiao thought his mother was going to praise him, so he put on a big smile and stood up to get ready, but he didn't expect to be greeted with his mother's cold eyes.

Not knowing why, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He had a premonition that he might be scolded...

"Ermiao's actions today were clever, but not worth learning. Ermiao, let me ask you, why should we help others?"

Gu Ermiao immediately understood that his mother was angry because he went to call Uncle Songni.

Being a silver-tongued man, he wanted to make up a reasonable excuse, but when he met his mother's gentle gaze, he felt ashamed of having such a dirty idea.

After hesitating for a moment, he told the truth.

"Helping others is naturally for the purpose of receiving corresponding rewards."

Lin Qing first praised his honesty, and then said earnestly: "If you only remember the kindness you have shown others, it is tantamount to reminding them that they have not yet repaid your kindness. Over time, what will be the consequences?"

Gu Ermiao had never thought about this question before. After being reminded by his mother, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He said with sweat dripping down his face, "Of course, there will be countless more enemies..."

Lin Qing patted his shoulder: "So mother wants you to remember that we help others not just to get rewards, but more importantly, for the satisfaction in our hearts. Think about it yourself, how did you feel when you heard that mother saved Xifeng?"

Gu Ermiao fell into deep thought.

At that time, he was very happy and proud, and wanted to learn from his mother.

Lin Qing knew that children could easily be biased, and fearing he would fall into the other extreme, she continued, "But Mother doesn't mean you should help others without limits. I remember there's a saying that goes, 'If you're rich, you should help the world; if you're poor, you should take care of yourself.' Let's take care of ourselves now, and do what we can. When you're capable, you can help more people."

Gu Ermiao nodded seriously, indicating that he would keep it in mind.

Gu Changqing silently watched his aunt, who was strict and lenient in her teachings, and thought that if she were a teacher, she would surely have many students all over the world.

He is so lucky to have such an aunt who can not only point out the direction for him in life but also answer his questions and solve his doubts.

Lin Qing then turned his gaze towards Gu Sanmu and Gu Sihe: "What do you two want to say? Sanmu, don't you want to learn how to make adobe bricks from Uncle Songni?"

Gu Sanmu rubbed the corner of his clothes nervously, organizing his words for a long time, and finally could only utter one word.

"Yes."

"Then let me ask this another way," Lin Qing said, "Do you want to formally learn the craft from Uncle Songni and become a bricklayer in the future?"

Gu Sanmu thought for a long time and shook his head.

"It's true that I want to learn a craft from Uncle Songni, but I only want to build a house for my family and don't want to be a bricklayer. In addition to making adobe bricks, I also want to learn how to raise seedlings from Grandpa Youzu, but I don't want to stay in the fields forever."

Seeing Sanmu's extremely confused expression, Lin Qing said, "Sanmu, you think it's good to have many skills, but you don't know what will be useful, so you just learn them all, right?"

Gu Sanmu nodded vigorously.

That’s right! He had this thought, but he couldn’t say it out loud.

Mom is so awesome!

Lin Qing said gently, "Mother understands you and is glad you want to make progress. But I must remind you that when you're tired, you need to sleep, and when you're hungry, you need to eat. Even if you want to learn a lot, your energy is always limited. Furthermore, the ocean of learning is endless, and we can't learn everything, so you have to make some choices."

Gu Sanmu nodded, not quite understanding.

Seeing his second brother being praised, Gu Sihe quickly slurped a mouthful of noodles and said unyieldingly, "Mom, you're really amazing. How can you say things like that so easily? I want to learn from you, I want to learn from you!"

Gu Ermiao knocked him on the head and taught him a lesson: "If you want to learn, listen to what your mother says more and don't always interrupt."

Gu Sihe pouted and rolled his eyes at him fiercely, then picked up the egg at the bottom of his bowl and put it into Lin Qing's bowl, saying flatteringly: "Humph, I'm more sensible than you, second brother! Mom, you eat it. In the future, say this kind of words to me more often, not to my second brother!"

Lin Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and finish eating, we still have to go back to the house!"

Gu Sihe complained to Lin Qing angrily, and seeing this, Lin Qing pinched his pufferfish-like face.

"It's not just your second brother. I feel like I'm dreaming too. Mother has a question. After seeing this, do you two want to stay in Songsi Village forever, or do you want to move to the town?"

Both children fell into deep thought, and after a moment they gave her an answer that she had not expected.
