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

Song Lingshuang has a very delicate oval face, big black eyes that sparkle, a cherry mouth, and a straight nose.

Her goose yellow dress was embroidered with a few fluttering butterflies, and she wore a light-colored belt around her waist with a jade the size of a fingernail embedded in the center, making her look as if she were on a different level from the people around her.

At this moment, her eyes were full of concern, and she was like a little adult, giving Lin Qing serious instructions.

"Mrs. Gu, don't be fooled by my father's words about canceling the engagement. I'm afraid it's not that easy! I know how many marriages in the Jia family have been handled by him!"

Lin Qing was shocked by her words that were so full of information. Before she could ask what they meant, she heard Song Lingshuang continue to speak in a rapid-fire manner, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube:

"After all, apart from my niece Xifeng, I've never seen anyone break off an engagement! Please forgive me, I'm not saying bad things about anyone behind their back. Gu Dahuai is a sinister and vicious person. He suffered such a big loss in front of everyone today. Who knows what tricks he will use to deal with you later! So, Sister Gu, you must be careful in everything and don't fall into his trap!"

Lin Qing's heart suddenly jumped, not knowing whether it was influenced by the original owner or what.

At the same time, a thought flashed through her mind.

It’s difficult to cancel the engagement, so is it related to the “star-crossed couple” side quest?

Seeing that Lin Qing was clearly frightened out of her wits, and that Gu Ermiao behind her also showed an unhappy expression, Song Lingshuang said confidently, "Sister Gu, don't worry too much! I'll take care of everything!"

Lin Qing hurriedly thanked her: "Then I would like to thank Sister Ling Shuang first."

After a pause, he warned, "Just be more careful in the future and never act so recklessly. If you get beaten because of our family again, I'll feel really bad."

Song Lingshuang lowered her head slightly in embarrassment and said, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Mother was just pretending because she couldn't bear to really hit me."

Then she couldn't help but secretly cast her gaze behind Lin Qing. Suddenly, her face turned red, and she jumped away with her hands covering her face. The hem of her skirt looked like a blooming water lotus, and the little bells on her shoes jingled, making her look even more charming and lovely.

Lin Qing turned around in confusion, only to find that Gu Ermiao had come over at some point.

Lin Qing looked at Song Lingshuang's back, then at Gu Ermiao, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Oh ~

No wonder this little girl would take the initiative to help their family.

It turns out that he is in love for the first time, has someone in his heart, and loves everyone in his life as well!

Just seeing that Er Miao didn't seem to care about her, it seemed that King Xiang had a dream but the goddess was not interested.

Seeing Lin Qing in a daze, Gu Sihe stepped forward, hugged her waist, and said happily:

"Mom, since my uncle has returned the house, let's quickly pack up and prepare to move back. I miss the big kang we used to have! I can't even turn over on the bed in the dilapidated temple."

Lin Qing looked at him suspiciously: "What's there to clean up in the thatched hut? It would be great if we could just live here. Why bother with all this unnecessary work?"

Several children raised objections. Lin Qing saw that they all attached great importance to the sense of ceremony, especially Gu Sanmu, who looked very honest. He begged eagerly:

"Mom, there's a wooden bucket I made myself in the dilapidated temple, as well as a hoe and a rake, which I'm used to..."

After hearing this, Lin Qing reflected deeply on herself. She had just arrived for a day and had no feelings for the dilapidated temple, but the same was true for the children.

They spent the most difficult years so far in the dilapidated temple, which meant a lot to them.

Lin Qing made up his mind instantly:

This move must be one they will never forget.

"Okay, okay, let's go back."

The family walked towards the thatched hut again, but this time their mood was obviously different from before.

Lin listened to the children happily imagining their future lives, and suddenly realized that the eloquent Gu Ermiao had not spoken a word.

She was just trying to find a reason to ask her second son how he felt about Song Lingshuang, when she happened to see him hesitant to speak.

Lin Qing understood that this child must have something to say.

So she slowed down her pace and walked alongside him, and asked softly, "Ermiao, if you have anything on your mind, why not tell me?"

Lin Qing thought she played the role of an intellectual mother well, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, the other party fell to her knees and burst into tears.

Seeing this, several children also knelt down like dumplings.

Lin Qing was caught off guard. After frantically pulling them up and coaxing them for a long time, Gu Ermiao sobbed and told them the reason.

But she still didn't understand what he was saying.

Thanks to Gu Damao's enthusiastic explanation, Lin Qing finally understood.

It turns out that at this time, dividing the house among the sons meant that—

She wants to split the family?

"Mother, could you please explain to me what serious mistake Er Miao made that caused you to be so displeased that you wanted him to 'start his own business'?"

Lin listened to her eldest son's serious words and thought to herself that it was no wonder that the children's faces changed immediately when she said that the house in the town would be given to Gu Ermiao.

That's what happened.

A few villagers who were walking slowly wanted to see what kind of excitement was going on at the Gu family, but unexpectedly they ran into several children kneeling together and crying with their heads in their hands. They all looked at them curiously, whispered and pointed at them, and it was obvious that they were not saying anything good.

Lin Qing naturally didn't want to lecture the children in front of so many people, so she protected them behind her and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

The children were used to their mother's kindness after waking up, so when they saw her being so stern, they immediately lowered their heads like little chicks, followed Lin Qing silently, and returned to the thatched hut without saying a word.

After entering the house, Gu Sihe locked the door very sensibly. Lin Qing sat upright on the unreliable armchair and looked around at the four cautious-looking kids.

She tried her best to play the role of a strict mother with ease, but just keeping her butt steady took up most of her energy.

After finally finding the right balance, Lin Qing slowly said, "Don't worry about whether I want to split up the family. What do you guys think?"

Gu Damao acted like an older brother and spoke first.

"Mom, Er Miao is a little impatient and outspoken, but everything he does is for our family and he has no intention of disobeying us.

"So I beg you to give him another chance and not split up the family for now. After all, you know Ermiao's character very well. I can guarantee him. If Ermiao behaves like this again, I..."

Gu Damao's eyes suddenly became firm.

"I will move out of the Gu family with him."

Gu Ermiao's eyes were already red, and when she heard that her elder brother actually trusted her so much, she started to cry so hard that her whole body began to twitch. She stood up and hugged Gu Damao, saying in a hoarse voice:

"Brother! Everyone has their own share of responsibility. If I really made a mistake, I will have no complaints about how Mother punishes me. How dare I implicate you, brother!"

Gu Sanmu also curled his lips and pleaded, "Mom, I can't bear to leave my second brother either. Can you please not drive him away?"

Seeing that Lin Qing's expression was no longer as serious as before, Gu Sihe boldly walked up to her and hugged her coquettishly, looking up at her.

"Mom, isn't it good for our family to be together? I don't want to be separated from my eldest and second brothers!"
