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

"Mom, although the town is nice, I still want to live at home now."

"Yes, I have the same idea as my second brother!"

Lin Qing originally thought that after seeing the prosperity and beautiful houses in the town, they would be yearning for it, but she didn't expect that they could resist the temptation.

This place is different from the modern world, but to Lin Qing, everywhere is the same.

But she was still very satisfied with the authenticity of the two children. It seemed that the main task would have to be postponed.

"You two are doing great! Let's go, since no one from the Tang Mansion has come to see me, let's go buy some gifts for the two little guys guarding the house and prepare to go back!"

The two children were attracted by the old woman setting up a stall in the corner of the alley.

Gu Sihe immediately fell in love with the beautiful dagger and pulled Lin Qing over and said, "Mom, I want to buy this for my third brother!"

"Young Master, you have a very good eye!" The old woman said with a smile, "This dagger was the sharp blade that killed General Tuku. It only came into the hands of the people by chance."

Basement?

Lin Qing remembered that this strange name was a country, and it was also the enemy of their country.

"Wow, he assassinated General Tuku! How impressive!" Gu Sihe's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Mom, buy this! Third brother will definitely like it!"

Lin Qing naturally knew that the old woman's words were a sales tactic, but since Gu Sihe was so excited, she naturally couldn't bear to expose her lies.

But we absolutely cannot let her suffer in vain.

"Since it's so precious, I wonder how much we should bid to snatch your love from you, mother-in-law?"

A smile of success flashed across the old woman's eyes.

"Although I'm also reluctant, but seeing that my lady and the young master are destined to be together, well...how about this, ten cents, no bargaining!"

Although Gu Sihe felt a little sorry for his pocket money, when he thought of his third brother's smile, he took out the money without hesitation.

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that what he had was not enough. He wanted to borrow some from his mother, but he didn't expect his mother to slowly shake her head at him.

Lin Qing agreed with the old woman's words: "That's right, I also think that keeping this ominous object with a blood-sharpened blade by my side might lead to some disaster. Taking action is the best option."

The old woman's expression froze for a moment, and she said with a dry laugh, "Yes, yes..."

Lin Qing said, "Since our family has made such a sacrifice for mother-in-law, shouldn't you express your gratitude?"

"what?"

The old woman had no idea what the other party's intention was. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out. She asked in disbelief, "You mean, you mean I should give you money?"

Lin Qing said, "Yes, yes, yes."

The old woman was stared at by Lin Qing's cunning eyes. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She could only press her temples and asked doubtfully, "No, that's not right. I'm selling things. How can I give you money?"

Lin Qing pretended to be very regretful: "It's fine if you don't give it to me, then we won't buy it. But please think about it, if this dangerous thing is not sold as soon as possible and remains in your possession, you will be injured at best, and in serious cases, your life will be in danger. You will be worried all day long..."

The old woman broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this and quickly admitted defeat.

"Okay, okay, three cents..."

Lin Qing hurriedly took out the money and put it in the old woman's hand, very happy: "One hand for money, the other for goods. Please keep the three cents. I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth."

Gu Ermiao and Gu Sihe were once again impressed by their mother's wit (lack of wit) (shame).

All’s fair in war.

Is bargaining possible like this?

The moment Lin Qing took the dagger, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

If the intention was simply to fool children, the dagger wouldn't have to be so heavy, and the rubies and sapphires on the scabbard wouldn't have to be so realistic.

Could it be that people who commit fraud at this time are so conscientious?

After pulling it out a little, the exposed part of the blade reflected the sunlight, and it was cold and frightening.

Lin Qing couldn't help but exclaim.

This thing... doesn't seem like a fake?

Could it be that she found the real thing while shopping overseas?

Even if it's fake, it's totally worth the money!

Not wanting to take advantage of the situation, Lin Qing turned around and stuffed another seven coins into the old lady's pocket, saying with a smile, "Sorry, I was mistaken just now. I'll give you the money as compensation."

The old woman was so frightened by her capriciousness that she dared not reach out to take it: "Husband, what does the lady mean by this?"

Lin Qing opened the small wooden box on her stall that contained money and stuffed the money in without hesitation, saying, "Don't be nervous. I also have something I want to ask you."

Hearing her say this, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, then you tell me."

"I heard that Master Jia is going to distribute porridge in the north of the city tomorrow morning. Is that true?"

The old woman frowned upon hearing this, her eyes swept over Gu Ermiao and Gu Sihe, and she lowered her voice and said, "Madam, I can tell you're from out of town. You want to give the child to Master Jia, right?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.

That's right. When people are extremely hungry, there is no need to care about propriety, morality, integrity and shame. They may even eat their own children, not to mention giving the children to a wealthy family like Mr. Jia who is generous and generous.

"It's just that you only know one side of the story. It's true that Master Jia wants children in their teens, but he wants little girls. Your two young masters, although they look good, are useless to him."

After Lin Qing thanked the old woman, she said, "You misunderstood. I just wanted to take the two children to ask for some porridge."

"Oh……"

The old woman became more and more suspicious and could not help but say, "Madam, you didn't seem to be in such a difficult situation when you came out of Ruyi Lane..."

Lin Qing said embarrassedly, "We came here to stay with a relative, but he has to go on a long trip tomorrow and said he can't keep anyone at home. We have to think of another way."

"Tsk, I'm not saying anything bad behind their backs, there aren't any good people living in this alley!"

Gu Ermiao remembered the faces of those people when he was fetching water just now and nodded in agreement.

"Whatever they say, just treat it as nonsense. Just let it go in one ear and out the other. Yes, Madam, you just said you wanted to go to the north of the city. When you get there, walk straight along this Zhuning Avenue to the end. When you see the City God Temple, that's where Master Jia gives out porridge."

Lin Qing thanked her again for her kindness.

Still looking worried, the old woman continued, "But I must remind you, you need to get up early. People will start lining up before daybreak. And Madam, you are so beautiful, remember to cover yourself with soot when you go, so those bastards won't take advantage of you."

Gu Ermiao bowed to the old woman and thanked her, saying, "I don't know where you live. Once we're settled, I'll definitely come to thank you."

Lin Qing was very pleased to see her son being so sensible. She said, "Old lady, please don't think he has any bad intentions. My second son is a man of integrity. You have helped us, and he just wants to repay you."

The old woman was not afraid, as she had nothing to gain, she was just a little surprised.

"I, I live near the City God Temple in the north of the city. There's a place called Luoluo Lane there, and that's the third one."

Gu Ermiao carefully memorized her address before turning around and following Lin Qing away.

Lin Qing also took the opportunity to lift the cloth on the basket and threw the dagger into it.

But when the dagger was thrown in, there was a "thump" sound. Lin Qing couldn't help but look down, only to see a piece of broken silver lying at the bottom of the basket.

This……

She put all the money from selling her house into the storage space, so how come there is still one piece left?

I've only heard of people losing money, but I've never heard of a thief giving money to others as a good deed.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Qing realized that this must have been thrown in by the injured man.

He was quite skilled and was able to throw the money in when no one was paying attention.

And he knows how to repay kindness, so he must be a good person...

Right?

Lin Qing put the broken silver into the storage space to weigh it, and was surprised to find that it weighed only one or two taels and three cents!

That’s just 1,300 wen!

I finally understand what it feels like to become rich overnight!

At this moment, she heard Gu Sihe say worriedly, "Mother, if that dagger is so ominous, should I still give it to Third Brother?"

Gu Ermiao was really at a loss for words: "My silly brother, you really believed it? That was all nonsense that mother said on purpose to lower the price."

"what?"

Gu Ermiao couldn't help but tap his forehead. Lin Qing quietly pulled the two children to a corner and told them about the small change, but to be on the safe side, she didn't say how much it was.

When the two children heard this, they were excited at first, but then their faces turned worried.
