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

The more Gu Changqing looked at it, the more sore his eyes became. He reluctantly pushed the thing to Lin Qing and said through gritted teeth, "Auntie, I really feel unworthy of this. I dare not accept such a precious gift from you! You are so kind, I really have no way to repay you..."

Gu Damao quietly wiped away the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes and said firmly, "Mother, I will definitely not let you down! I will pass the imperial examination and bring honor to you!"

Lin Qing smiled and patted the two children's shoulders. If there was a mirror in front of her at this moment, she would find that her eyes were kinder than ever before.

That night, Gu Changqing returned home with the four treasures of the study and the meat buns that his aunt had specially left for them. As soon as he entered the door, he ran into his drunken father who was about to go out.

He was cursing, as if complaining that his mother hadn't prepared dinner for him. When he saw the buns in Gu Changqing's basket, his eyes lit up and he said, "See? My son is sensible enough to go to town and buy me buns!"

Gu Changqing said: "Dad, this is a gift from my aunt."

Gu Dahuai had just taken a bite and was about to say something praiseful, but when he heard Gu Changqing say that, he almost couldn't breathe and coughed, "What did you say? Was this sent from next door?"

He wanted to ask them where the noodles and meat came from, but suddenly he thought of the braised pork from that day. He thought to himself, his wife said that the neighbor went to the town to sell things and made some money. What did she sell to be able to afford white flour and meat filling?

He went to the town today specifically to help his neighbor break off an engagement. With such a way to make money, shouldn't she get a share of the profits?

He turned his head to look at his son who was still stroking the wooden box, and thought to himself, the neighbor has been getting along well with Changqing recently, so this important task could perhaps be handed over to him.

While Gu Dahuai was thinking about how to trick his son over without making any noise, Lin Qing in the next yard was also writing furiously at his desk.

She hadn't written for a long time. In order to fill in the two blanks and avoid being embarrassed, she borrowed paper and pen from Gu Damao, opened the reference book, and began to copy the answers with great effort.

Fortunately, she had practiced writing tiny calligraphy for some time in order to improve her character, but now she had not written for a long time, her wrist strength was weak, and her handwriting was crooked, which was simply unbearable to look at.

Gu Damao, who had been watching his mother's movements, widened his eyes and cheered secretly.

He had to light a lamp to study hard and revise it several times before writing an article, but my mother could write without any revisions. Her ideas flowed like a stream and she completed two policy papers in a short time.

Gu Damao couldn't help but start to doubt, could what his third brother said be true?

My mother is just borrowing a body to revive herself, but she has actually become a different person inside?

Otherwise, how could it be reborn?

After Lin Qing stopped writing, Gu Damao couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity! Mother, how could you be born a girl? Otherwise, you would definitely have a place in the court!"

Lin Qing rubbed her aching shoulders and said, "I can't be an official, nor am I interested in it, but I can definitely work hard to be a good mother.

"Oh, right, I just made an agreement with Changqing that I'll go to town tomorrow to sell some sour jujube cakes and get some information for Yuanxin. Don't stay up late tonight, go to bed early!"

Gu Damao looked at his mother's back and suddenly felt that he was really an unintentional bastard.

How could he suspect his mother because of some unfounded things?

In fact, he had discussed this privately not only with Sanmu but also with Ermiao. They both felt that his mother's temperament was completely different from before. He was also very caring towards them, giving them earnest advice and giving them the right medicine. He could even say that he was taking every step carefully, making plans for their future...

But no matter what, she is a mother!

Lin Qing naturally didn't know what Gu Damao was up to. After returning to the house, she found that Lin Yuanxin was actually making her bed.

Lin Qing knew it was useless to stop her, so he simply pulled a chair and sat down, saying jokingly, "You're being so kind for no reason. Tell me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Yuanxin spread out the bedding, stood by the table, and said shyly, "Lin, Aunt Lin, I just want to ask you...when are you planning on going to town?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but understand what she meant. Seeing that she had gradually integrated into the family and had learned to take the initiative to ask for things, he took her hand and sat down with satisfaction, saying:

"Very good, you've made a lot of progress now! But you still need to learn to be more polite in the future! You asked me when I was going to town. Was there anything I wanted to eat or something I needed?"

Lin Yuanxin shook his head: "Neither, neither."

Lin Qing pretended to think for a long time before suddenly realizing something. "Oh, you want to know if your father has successfully broken off the engagement with the Jia family, right?"

Lin Yuanxin's true feelings were exposed, his face flushed, he felt embarrassed and ashamed, and he stood up to kneel down to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing hurriedly supported her and sternly criticized her, "I already said you treat this place as your own home. Why do you need to kneel down here and there? Are you afraid of me scolding you? You have to know that no one is heartless. If you don't care about your original family at all, that's abnormal."

Although Lin Yuanxin was being "scolded", he felt relieved and tears welled up in his eyes. He thought that Aunt Lin was so kind and generous that she could tolerate his ignorance!

She needs to learn more from Aunt Lin in the future!

"Why don't you help pack up the sour jujube cakes and we go to town together tomorrow?"

Lin Yuanxin shook his head and said, "No need, Auntie, I just want you to find out. I...whether this matter succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with me.

"Besides, I still have to sell buns tomorrow. If I go, there will be no one to help Brother Ermiao."

Lin Qing touched her hair with great pity and sighed softly.

What a poor and sensible child...

Her biological parents are so cruel.

How could I bear to give her up?

After Lin Yuanxin left, Lin Qing was still immersed in the excitement of having accomplished two big things today and making a fortune by selling sour jujube cakes tomorrow. He was so excited that he had no desire to sleep at all. He just felt that he had to do something to relieve this itch.

I caught a glimpse of two pieces of cloth at the end of the bed, and an idea came to me.

There are very few clothing stores in Anping Town, and the clothes in the cloth stores are extremely ugly. Wouldn't it be a shame to the system if I don't use plug-ins at this time!

How could she forget this way to make money!

I couldn't wait to open the "Illustrated Guide to Clothing and Costumes". After selecting a set of styles for men and women, I closed my eyes and felt it gradually taking shape in my mind, and then I cut it out smoothly.

After dividing the pieces of cloth into two piles, seeing that it was just past eight o'clock, Lin Qing carried them and walked towards Lin Yuanxin's house.

When I knocked on the door and walked in, I saw Yuan Xin mending clothes by the light of an oil lamp.

The basket contained several children's old clothes. Lin Qing rummaged through them and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh, so this kind of needlework can be used!"

"Wow, you can actually lock the edges like this when closing the stitches!"

"Hey, I didn't expect patches could be applied this way!"

Especially after seeing the bamboo embroidery Lin Yuanxin had done on the cuffs of the big woolen sleeve, he couldn't help but praise her: "Yuanxin, you are so amazing! This bamboo is so lifelike!"
