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

Xiangzhi was used to these rumors and wanted to pretend not to hear them this time, but when Lin Qing stood up for her, she was so shocked that tears welled up in her eyes without her knowing. However, she didn't want to show them in front of others, so she wiped them away quietly.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever protected her like this!

Xiangzhi, feeling warm inside, wanted to thank Lin Qing, but when she thought of the men's strange sarcasm, she forced herself to hold back.

Coming from a different background, she knows very well what it means to drown someone with spit. No matter what immoral things she will do in the future, let her remain kind at this moment.

After being scolded by Lin Qing, no one said another word until the car arrived in Anping Town.

Before the car stopped, Gu Sihe pulled Lin Qing out of the car, and Lin Yuanxin followed sensibly.

The three of them walked very fast, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing them from behind.

But before they had taken a few steps, they were suddenly stopped by a man as strong as a pine cone.

Lin Qing hurriedly protected the two children behind her, and after careful observation, she discovered that the man had been riding in the same car with them. He must be from Songsi Village, but she did not have the original owner's memory, so she did not know who he was.

Lin Qing remembered that the man had a cold face when he was in the car, so he was probably not from the same group.

But his dark face is really scary when he smiles...

The man seemed to see her fear and took a half step back, saying, "Mrs. Gu, I'm Song Dachui from the east village. I usually stay at home with my father doing carpentry work, so I don't go out much. It's understandable that you haven't seen me."

Ah, it turns out he is Song Modou’s son.

Lin Qing remembered that Song Modou was a man who hated evil and had spoken up for him when he was arguing with Gu Dahuai's family.

"There's not much work to do in the village now, and my father is too old to go out, so I thought about coming to town to see if I could find a job."

Lin Qing nodded. With such upbringing, this burly man probably had no bad intentions.

"So it's Brother Hammer. I wonder if there's anything you want to stop us for?"

Song Dachui looked up and forward, as if he saw something dirty, and glared back fiercely.

"I know you're a good person, Mrs. Gu, and you want to help others when they're being bullied, but there are so many bastards in this world who don't know how to repay kindness.

"So I just want to remind you to stay away from that shameless woman in the future. Who knows what she and that bastard are planning next!"

Lin Qing turned around and saw Xiangzhi looking at him stealthily. The cold feeling of being entangled by the poisonous snake once again hit his heart.

He said seriously, "Thank you, Brother Dahammer, for reminding me. I'll remember that."

Song Dachui showed a relieved expression as if to say "Yeah, that's how it should be", but then he turned a little sad.

Although Lin Qing didn't know who he was thinking of, she wisely chose not to ask any more questions and changed the subject, "Brother Da Hammer, what kind of work are you looking for in town?"

Song Dachui scratched his head, as if he didn't expect Lin Qing to suddenly care about him, and his dark cheeks turned a little red.

"I, this is my first time in town too. Brother Shuangxi told me that they usually come here to do some heavy lifting at the dry docks, or to do odd jobs in the courtyards."

Although Lin Qing didn't know much about the town, he knew that there were not many wealthy families in the town. Maybe he could get some news about the Jia family this time.

So she pretended to be casual and asked, "I haven't been to town very often. Brother Dahammer, what do you think is required for short-term work in the mansion?"

Song Dachui said, "I just heard that the Jia Mansion needs to build new door frames and windows every month, and even needs to hire four or five carpenters. I was planning to go to the Jia Mansion today to try my luck and see if I can get any work."

Lin Qing's heart shuddered, and he sensitively noticed that there was something wrong with the words.

Does the Jia family have to install new door frames and windows every month?

If it is normal wear and tear, there is definitely no need to replace it so frequently, right?

Could it be that there is another hidden story behind this?

"Brother Dachui, please tell me, besides carpentry, is there anything else the Jia family can use us for?"

Song Dachui laughed more and more embarrassedly.

"I can't say for sure. I heard from Brother Shuangxi that the Jia family only makes doors and windows when they take in a new concubine. They might be having another wedding soon, so I wanted to go and take a look.

"But it's strange. According to what I've heard, the old doors and windows in the Jia Mansion were made of top-quality materials. They only needed to be varnished twice to look like new. But the housekeeper said that the ones they took down weren't even sold. They were burned directly as firewood..."

"Tsk, it's just like what Dad said, rich people never know what thriftiness is."

After Song Dachui finished talking to himself, he realized that the wedding that the Jia family was going to hold was to marry the Mrs. Gu in front of him, and he hurriedly stammered to make excuses.

"Ah, you've already called off the engagement. Even if you do, you might not survive this time... Hey, look at me, I'm just not very good at talking, so don't take it to heart..."

Lin Qing took out a bag of sour jujube cakes from the basket and handed them to him, saying soothingly, "We're just chatting. I know what you mean. I'm giving this to you. It won't satisfy your hunger, but it will quench your thirst. Try it."

Song Dachui gave her a few words of reminder, but it didn't help much. He felt embarrassed to accept her thank-you gift, but when he smelled the sweet and sour taste of it, he swallowed the words back.

He doesn't like it, but Xiaofen likes it...

She was very angry with herself this time. If she gave this to her who liked cooking, she might want to come back from her parents' home and live with herself after seeing it.

Thinking of this, Song Dachui's eyes lit up. After taking it with both hands, he smiled and said:

"Sister Gu, although I haven't been educated, my father often taught me that there is no reward without merit, so I still understand the principle that if there is anything I can help with, please feel free to ask."

Lin Qing instantly regretted judging people by their appearance.

She didn't expect that Song Dachui, who looked so big and strong, was actually as delicate as Zhang Fei's embroidery.

"Well, you're right. I have something to trouble you with..."

Song Dachui looked at Lin Qing in surprise. He didn't expect that Mrs. Gu was even more straightforward than himself and couldn't understand polite words.

"Of course, it's a bit embarrassing to say this. You know I was almost sent to the Jia Mansion as a concubine. Although the engagement has been broken off, the dowry is not in my house. I really can't trust my brother Dahuai.

"I'm really afraid something might go wrong, so I'd like to trouble Brother Da Hammer. If you really go to the Jia Mansion, please let me know if you hear anything."

Song Dachui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and agreed without hesitation.

"Hey, I thought Mrs. Gu wanted me to help her with something. It's a simple matter! If I can really enter the Jia Mansion, I will let you know any news in time!"

After saying goodbye to Song Dachui, Lin Qing, her mother and son went straight to Qian's candied fruit shop.

Lin Qing called the two children and prepared to leave, but she didn't expect that Lin Yuanxin seemed to have thought of something terrible. His face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. He didn't come to his senses until she called him four or five times.

Lin Qing asked her if something was wrong, but the little girl stammered and forced out an ugly smile.

"It's okay, Aunt Lin."
