Zhang Maoen wanted to say a few more words to his wife, but his head was filled with what he had seen and heard today, like a ball of paste churning back and forth.

There seemed to be something in his mind that urgently needed him to think clearly.

Seeing that it was getting dark, and their group consisted of women and children, Zhang Maoen could only say reluctantly, "I heard that the streets are not peaceful at night. Madam, you should go home quickly."

He didn't know that Lin Qing's family lived in the countryside, otherwise he would have sent a carriage.

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Gu Ermiao and Gu Sihe turned around to get the things their mother had asked them to leave at the fruit stall. Lin Qing wanted to follow them to thank Boss Tu, but from a distance he saw Boss Tu waving at him frantically, so he could only give him an apologetic smile.

It seems that Boss Tu doesn't want to cause trouble like Mr. Zhang.

Before leaving, Lin Qing specifically instructed Zhang Maoen: "Since the situation is not peaceful, the most taboo thing to do when you are alone outside is to show your naked body.

"Also," Lin Qing suddenly thought of the two minions who were peeping from a distance, and said, "As the saying goes, birds fly high when they follow phoenixes, and people become noble when they keep the company of virtuous people. If Master Zhang wants to achieve something, he should take a closer look at the people around him."

Zhang Maoen paused in putting away his purse, and froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Even his mentor had never told him such a thing!

He thought that the people around him were no different from his father's staff, but after his wife reminded him, he suddenly realized.

That's right. How can He Hongcheng and his people compare to his staff? What help can they give him?!

When he came to his senses, all he saw was a vague figure walking out of the city gate.

He had wondered when they would meet again, but he was so surprised by the reunion.

Lin Qing's family caught the last bus back to Songsi Village, and there were only four of them on the bus.

Under the dim sunset, Gu Ermiao looked at Zhao'er, who sat across from him, silent and nervous, and suddenly said, "Mom, since Zhao'er has come home with us, can we change his name?"

Lin Qing looked at Zhao'er and saw that she had no intention of refusing. Then he smiled and said, "That's right. Changing your name also symbolizes a new beginning. Zhao'er, why don't you take my last name and call yourself... Lin Yuanxin?"

"A new year begins with a new beginning. It originally means the arrival of a new year, but for you, it can also be considered a new beginning."

Zhao'er opened her eyes wide in surprise, silently repeated her new name, and smiled sincerely with joy. Even the tears that had fallen to her lips seemed sweet.

She was called "that guy" and "Big Brother" until she was six years old. Because her father wanted to change his son's fortune, he asked the village chief to give her and her sister the names "Zhao'er" and "Pan'er".

She didn't like the name Zhao'er, but apart from it, nothing else in the house belonged to her.

"I like this name very much, thank you aunt..."

Seeing Lin Qing's sullen face, she quickly changed her words.

"Thank you, aunt."

Lin Qing smiled brightly, "That's right! If anyone asks, just say you're a distant relative of mine and that you came to me because you had no one at home. Ermiao and Sihe, you should also explain this clearly to Damao and Sanmu when you return home to avoid suspicion."

[Ding, the system has recognized that you have recruited the hidden partner Shen Zhaoer (Lin Yuanxin). The hidden partner's favorability has automatically reached the maximum level. You can share information, delegate tasks, and receive corresponding rewards.]

[Ding, congratulations on receiving a reward of 100 coins, a 30% increase in female worker skills, and a special reward of 1 clothing illustration.]

Such a reward is huge, but for the first time, Lin Qing was not moved by it. Instead, he felt a little emotional.

we can even say……

Sadness or anger.

The reward for a whole family moving out of Songsi Village was one hundred taels, but the reward for a living life was only one hundred coins.

What is even more terrifying is that the hidden partner, does that mean that even if she doesn't have compassion and saves this poor little girl, the system will not punish her?

[Ding, that’s right. 】

Lin Qingxin felt even more sad.

The variable 'Lin Yuanxin' seems insignificant to the system.

And how many people like Lin Yuanxin are there in this world?

After being sad for a moment, Lin Qing quickly relieved his inner depression.

Never mind, she only cares about what she has the ability to do. Right now, she doesn't have the ability to help the world, so she should stop thinking about these miscellaneous things.

She should first take good care of herself and manage her current life, then teach several children and make sure they have enough food and clothing, and maybe good things will happen.

Doing good deeds without asking for reward.

Seeing that Lin Qing seemed to be thinking, the three children in the car sensibly did not disturb him and talked to each other in a low voice.

Seeing that Lin Yuanxin was still a little nervous, Gu Ermiao was the first to speak: "I always forgot to ask, how old are you this year?"

Lin Yuanxin's whole body seemed to shudder: "I, I'm thirteen years old."

Gu Ermiao glanced at Gu Sihe, whose shoulders slumped after he became nervous, and said with a smile, "You are only older than Sihe in the family. Besides me, you have two older brothers. The eldest is studying for a degree, and the third is very hardworking and likes to farm. They both get along well, so you don't have to be nervous."

Lin Yuanxin responded hurriedly, but when he heard that there were two children in the family, both boys, he became even more uneasy.

She wouldn't jump from one fire pit into another...

Gu Ermiao didn't know what she was thinking and thought she didn't want to change her tone, so he said, "If you're not used to it, just call us brother in front of others."

"Yes, yes, yes, but I will always call you sister, hehehe."

Lin Yuanxin looked at Gu Sihe who was smiling in front of him, and felt a little comforted, and smiled shyly.

"it is good."

"By the way," Gu Ermiao took out a wooden hairpin from his pocket and said, "This is for you."

Lin Yuanxin widened his eyes in shock.

"Humph, second brother, you are such a liar! Didn't you buy it for mother?"

Gu Ermiao's remarks did not sound improvised.

"Silly Sihe, didn't you buy a gift for Mom too? I gave you the chance to be close to Mom. Just think about how happy she must be to receive your gift!"

Gu Sihe rolled his eyes and looked at Gu Ermiao, who was very serious and didn't seem to be lying to him. Then he seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Oh, my second brother is still good to me!"

Lin Yuanxin originally didn't dare to take Ermiao's wooden hairpin, but when he saw him turn his face away, shook his hand towards him with the hairpin, and was chatting with Sihe very seriously, he could only take it with both hands.

She never thought that there would be a day when she would receive a gift!

What she didn't expect was that the person who sent her the gift was Gu Ermiao, who had scolded her several times today!

As the eldest sister in the family, she always saved money for her younger siblings, and no one had ever given her anything.

The only time I received candied fruit from my father was because he wanted to sell her...
