At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system
Chapter 60 Books are so expensive
Zhao'er obviously didn't expect this, and she gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold back the tears in her almond-shaped eyes.
She is so ignorant, how could she do this to her savior!
He racked his brains to find words to apologize, but when he looked up, he met Gu Ermiao's cold eyes. He couldn't help but think of how he had been taught a lesson by him several times today, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.
He doesn't look much older than me, so how can he be so thoughtful?
The little guy next to me is also very eloquent. Is it because he often follows the lady?
Then they are really happy...
Thinking of his parents again, Zhao'er suddenly felt an uncontrollable sadness in his heart, and his chin trembled pitifully.
Seeing that his son had good intentions but did not know how to be gentle with women, Lin Qing turned cold and lectured him, then gently took Zhao'er's hand.
"Zhao'er, don't take Er Miao's words seriously. He's too rude and impolite. Let me ask you, do you have any relatives in town you can turn to, or have you figured out how to make a living?"
Zhao'er quickly came to his senses after hearing what his wife said.
She took a deep breath, and the trembling in her body gradually faded away. She seemed like a different person. "Thank you for your concern, Madam. Although I haven't thought of a way yet, I believe there will always be a way."
Lin Qing looked at her worriedly and said, "You are a girl after all. You are still young and have never been to such a prosperous place. What if you really encounter danger?"
Zhao'er's smile turned bitter.
"Don't worry, Madam. Even if I have to beg, I can still make a living. I'm alone now anyway, and if I eat well, my whole family won't be hungry."
When Lin Tingting heard Zhao'er talking about begging, the figure of a beggar leaning against the wall instantly appeared in his mind, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
She hadn't thought of a way to rescue those poor children yet, so how could she watch Zhao'er step into such an abyss and do nothing!
But if I force her to stay, what way out can I find for her?
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qing, struggling between inner and external factors, decided to give the choice back to the other party.
"Zhao'er, whether you have made up your mind or not, you might as well go to the city gate and take a closer look at those beggars. After you have seen them, if you want to stay and beg, I will not stop you.
"But if you don't want to go with them and you don't have any other ideas, why don't you wait for me at the fruit stand?"
When Zhao'er heard Lin Qing say this, uncontrollable waves rose in his heart.
Although she didn't spend much time with this lady, she could feel that her care and love for her far exceeded that of her parents.
After being scolded by his mother, Gu Ermiao knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he had already apologized, and for the sake of face he could not say anything else. He could only clear his throat and motion Zhaoer to look over.
"Miss Zhao'er, my mother definitely has her reasons for what she says, and she is a person of her word. You might as well do as she says."
Zhao'er nodded with tears in her eyes, then suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times to Lin Qing.
"No matter what, I want to thank you for your kindness."
After saying that, he stood up and left without waiting for them to react.
Gu Ermiao was a little dazed looking at her graceful back, until Gu Sihe tugged at his sleeve and he came back to his senses.
Gu Sihe narrowed his eyes, "Eh~ Second brother, you are so shameless, staring at a girl so rudely!"
"go with!"
Gu Ermiao's cheeks flushed. "What nonsense! I, I just think she is very different from the girls I've met before."
"Oh~" Gu Sihe obviously didn't believe it, speaking in a strange tone, and said with a smile: "Then second brother, who do you think is prettier, Sister Zhao'er or Sister Lingshuang?"
Gu Ermiao's cheeks were as red as a monkey's butt. "You're only a few years old, you little brat, why are you always thinking about these things? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank you!"
Lin listened to the two children bickering, but he felt a little worried in his heart.
This girl seems smart, but she has a stubborn temper. I wonder what decision she will make in the end...
When they came to their senses, they had already reached the door of the bookstore.
The shopkeeper was about to close the shop when he saw the shabby-dressed family and was about to raise his hand to send them away. Suddenly, he saw a burly man in white clothes with a gloomy face standing behind them.
For some unknown reason, the man stared at him viciously, and there was a bloody smell on his body that made him shudder.
The shopkeeper was about to scream, but in the blink of an eye the man disappeared.
This, this... Is it haunted in broad daylight?
By the time he came to his senses, several people had already taken the opportunity to enter the store.
Lin Qing naturally noticed the shopkeeper's impatience for not being able to leave work on time. As a former worker herself, she could empathize with the matter and felt very sorry.
He quickly selected a few works by great scholars for Gu Damao and Gu Changqing, turned around and saw Gu Sihe staring at the picture books on the shelf without blinking, so he picked up a few more for him.
Gu Sihe smiled instantly and raised his chin proudly towards Gu Ermiao.
"Look, mom won't buy it for you!"
Gu Ermiao would never admit that he was jealous.
"cut."
Lin Qing put the book on the counter, didn't ask the price, didn't ask for a discount, and asked for payment directly.
The shopkeeper quickly counted on his abacus without even raising his eyelids.
"One hundred coins."
The two children who had seen the 'big scene' couldn't help but gasp.
Are books so expensive? No wonder my brother cherishes his books so much!
Gu Ermiao pushed Gu Sihe and signaled with his eyes that he should be more sensible, stop spending money recklessly, and quickly return the comic book.
Gu Sihe naturally understood what his second brother meant. He looked conflicted, thinking about what to do, but he saw his mother had already taken out the money to pay the bill and was pulling them away.
The shopkeeper looked at the hot hundred coins in front of him and was unable to react for a moment.
He really wanted to slap himself hard to see if he was dreaming.
He didn't open the store today and thought he would make no profit today, but he didn't expect that he would still have such a huge income before closing the store!
I looked up at the lady in disbelief. She was dressed simply, so how could she be so efficient in buying things?
The shopkeeper immediately began to reflect on himself. He must have looked down on others. How could an ignorant peasant woman bring her child to the bookstore?
Yes, she must be a rich person in disguise who doesn’t want to make it public!
Otherwise, he must be a servant who came to buy for the young master of a noble family. Otherwise, how could he buy two copies of the same book?
When you see her buying books for her own children without hesitation, you can tell that her family must have given her a lot of money.
Regardless of the reason, this is a customer with whom we can do long-term business!
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper hurriedly called Lin Qing.
"Ma'am, please don't leave in such a hurry. The store just received some fresh, thick brown paper. It's moisture-proof and has mosquito repellent. Can I wrap it for you?"
Seeing him suddenly so attentive, Lin Qing naturally knew why and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Boss."
The shopkeeper took the book and first took out a piece of thin reddish-brown wood the size of a business card from the counter drawer. He handed it to me with a smile on his face and then started chatting with me while wrapping the book.
"Madam, my name is Yu Fuyan. This is a post from our Yu's Bookstore. When you come here in the future, just bring it with you and you can get a discount depending on the situation."
