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

In the Gu family courtyard, after packing up their things, everyone stared at the bag of money in Lin Qing's hand without blinking, listening to the rustling sound inside, and their faces were filled with smiles that were difficult to conceal.

Lin Qing gestured for everyone to sit down, and then poured all the money onto the table.

After counting them, Gu Ermiao widened his eyes in disbelief.

He counted them carefully again and his face immediately turned ugly.

how come……

How can it be only twenty cents?!

He thought he would have at least 40 coins, but after all this calculation, he ended up losing money!

Lin Qing naturally saw that he was devastated, but did not rush to comfort him.

She knows that when reality differs greatly from expectations, motivating everyone to work together is far more effective than blaming one person for their mistakes.

"Yuanxin worked the hardest today. She was involved in every step, from kneading the dough to making the dumplings and selling them. So, do you have any objections to giving her five cents?"

Several children shook their heads.

They all saw how busy Yuan Xin was, so it was only natural that he should get the most money.

Lin Yuanxin sensitively noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he simply thanked him and took the money.

"Ermiao has been working hard today, setting prices and maintaining order. He's been indispensable to the entire process, so how about you take five cents as well?"

How could Gu Ermiao have the nerve to take so much money? It was obvious that his mother had already started to reward people according to their merits, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

After the money was divided, Gu Sanmu finally got four cents, Gu Sihe who did not return got three cents, and Gu Damao who basically did not help got two cents.

Several people looked at the penny left on the table and looked at Lin Qing in disbelief.

Mom only took one penny?!

Without waiting for Lin Qing to explain why they did this, several children took out their money and put it on the table.

"Mom, we won't take the money."

Lin Qing smiled and rejected them: "I don't need a commission now. Wait until you make a lot of money before you pay me tribute! Besides, I have a reason for doing this."

Gu Ermiao felt the money in his palm was so hot that it made his heart feel uncomfortable. He lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Mom, I won't take this money. You can use it to share with everyone."

Several people were very surprised: "Why?"

"Mom, everyone, I'm so sorry. If I hadn't sold it for so little money..."

Gu Damao took the account book and spread it out in front of them, saying in a firm tone, "Take a look for yourself."

Gu Ermiao stared at the red handprints in confusion as his eldest brother continued, "I just did a rough calculation, and our family's debt is only about thirty coins left. Adding these, we've earned over a hundred coins today!"

Gu Sanmu opened his mouth wide when he heard that.

If this had happened in the past, they wouldn't even dare to think about it!

"So, Ermiao, you've done well enough, you have to take this money."

Lin Qing originally wanted to comfort Gu Ermiao in this way, but she didn't expect that Gu Damao had already solved the problem for her.

It is true that you raise a child for a thousand days and use him for a moment!

After being comforted by his elder brother, Gu Ermiao's grievances were like a river that had been dredged, pouring out in an instant.

With the understanding of his family, he feels that he can do anything!

He will definitely make more money for everyone tomorrow!

At the same time, at the Zheng family's house.

After Liu returned home with the buns, she saw that there was no one inside or outside the house. She thought to herself, it’s okay that her husband is not at home, but why is Ling Shuang, who should be at home embroidering, nowhere to be seen?

This crazy girl has to get home before her father comes back, otherwise she will be scolded for dinner again!

Just as she took out the bamboo basket, put the buns in it, and covered it with a rag, she looked up and saw her husband walking into the yard with a gloomy face.

"Where's Song Lingshuang? Call this crazy girl over to me!"

Liu's heart tightened. Seeing Song Youliang's expression, she knew something serious must have happened. She quickly wiped her hands and said, "She, she must be out picking wild vegetables. I'll go find her right away!"

Seeing Liu trotting out the door, a flash of anger appeared in Song Youliang's eyes.

Gu Dahuai, I didn’t expect that you, a despicable villain, would actually dare to treat me like this!

If you set your sights on my daughter, don't blame me for being rude!

Song Lingshuang was caught by Liu near Lin Qing's house. Seeing that her mother's expression was not right, she was frightened and tried to hide, but was caught by Liu one step ahead.

"Ling Shuang! You silly girl, your father is back and is looking for you. If you continue to act up, you'll get beaten when you get home!"

Song Lingshuang couldn't help but shiver.

Ever since I exposed my father's true face in front of everyone that day, I was severely beaten when I got home.

Mother is really cruel. She usually protects her, but when she sees father angry, she dares not say a word of rebuttal. She even helps him and beats herself with a broom until her whole body is covered with bruises!

If her mother hadn't secretly given her several pieces of silver, she wouldn't have been able to calm down so easily!

But she has been obedient these days. It was just that she was really bored today. Seeing that they were not at home, she thought of sneaking out to play with Gu Ermiao for a while. How come she was caught before she even found Gu Ermiao? How stupid!

Song Lingshuang followed behind her mother with a look of grievance on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Mom, can you tell me first, why is Dad angry again?"

Mrs. Liu wanted to say, "How would I know?" but when she looked back at her daughter's wrinkled face, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "I guess you did something too outrageous that day, and your father is afraid you'll act up again. Lingshuang, you really weren't sensible that day, so mother had to punish you for father..."

Song Lingshuang covered her ears tightly, indicating that she didn't want to listen anymore.

Liu thought that her children were really a debt from her previous life. What sin had she committed to deserve such two ancestors?

His son Song Lingwei found an idle job in the government office. People from the county government sent him messages several times, saying that as long as he paid some money, he could become a regular leader. However, his son was stubborn and said that he would never use the back door and would enter the officialdom through the imperial examination.

Their daughter, Song Lingshuang, was a complete mischief-maker, having been disobedient since she was little. The couple worried about her no less than they did about Song Lingwei...

Liu sighed again and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

Song Lingshuang hugged Liu's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, you're so kind! Whatever Dad says later, can you just block it for me?"

Liu nodded repeatedly. The mother and daughter originally thought that after Song Youliang scolded them a few words, the family could still have dinner happily, but they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was a bolt from the blue.

Song Lingshuang walked into the house with a smile on her face. She saw her father sitting in the main room with his eyes closed, resting. Just as she was about to call for help, Song Youliang suddenly opened his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Come here and kneel down!"

Song Lingshuang looked back at Liu hesitantly. Liu shook her head slightly and motioned her to do as she was told.

Song Lingshuang could only reluctantly step forward and kneel in front of her father.

Song Youliang looked at his daughter and said bluntly, "Get ready. I'll send you directly to the Jia Mansion on the second day of next month."

Song Lingshuang was stunned.

Jia Mansion?!

What's the meaning? !
