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

"As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. We must be fully prepared before going to the Jia Mansion.

"Changqing, you'll probably have a hard time when you go back. Besides being busy with the mock policy essay, you'll also have to ask your classmates about how many people will be attending the poetry gathering and what the process will be. That way, we'll know when it's best to sneak out.

"The debts of our small families are all recorded. The wealthy families will definitely record everything. If we can indirectly find out where their concubine books are hidden, we will have time to find them."

Gu Changqing didn't feel scared when he heard Lin Qing arrange everything for him, but rather a little excited.

His return this time was truly not in vain!

Lin Qing looked at his expression and thought he was nervous, so she smiled and said, "Changqing, don't be too stressed. I will go with you when the time comes."

Looking at Er Miao and the others who were also looking at him expectantly, he said, "You all have important positions.

"Ermiao was right just now. This matter needs to be made public, but we can't be so reckless as to reveal everything before the matter is concluded. So, Ermiao, you must gather information everywhere and find the families that have been harmed by the Jia family. The more the better. The most difficult part is that you have to gain their trust."

Gu Ermiao likes dealing with people the most, but according to his mother's arrangement, he might have to give up his bun business.

Although he was reluctant, he also knew what was important and what was not.

Saving lives is more important than anything else, he can only give up!

However, he didn't expect that his mother's next arrangement would make him smile instantly.

"Sanmu, tell me, what did you gain from accompanying Grandpa Youzu today?"

Gu Sanmu didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to him, so he raised his voice and said:

"Grandpa Youzu and I searched the back mountain today and found eighteen snake bean racks. He estimated that the people in our village could survive for at least two months by eating or selling them."

Lin Qingxin said, two months is just the right time, and the newly planted snake beans will be able to grow!

Gu Sanmu continued, "Grandpa Youzu has also planted some snake bean seeds. He said that when they sprout, he will come to discuss with you about choosing a day to announce the good news to everyone."

Lin Qingxin asked, who said that this agricultural expert was ignorant? Doesn’t he know the ways of the world?

It was clearly him who worked tirelessly in the mountains to search for snake beans, and it was also him who planted the seeds and took great pains to take care of them. Even so, he still cared about their family. It was really hard to find any fault with him.

Lin Qing estimated that the seeds in Songsi Village's soil would germinate in two or three days. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Sanmu, you'll have to work hard these past few days. Besides staying by Grandpa Youzu's side, I also have a special and important task for you."

Gu Sanmu's eyes suddenly became bright, and he was looking forward to Lin Qing's next words.

"The thing that was climbing on our wall that night suddenly disappeared, and this matter has always been on my mind. And who was it that was secretly peeking at our door today...

"Of course, you can quietly inquire about all this. Remember not to act rashly. If anything goes wrong, we can handle it together."

Gu Sanmu carefully considered his mother's instructions, thinking that this was truly an important task.

Before he could agree, Gu Sihe jumped up and down on the spot, saying excitedly: "Mom, mom, mom, there's me!"

Lin Qing was amused by his appearance: "What you are about to do is more important than your brothers!"

Gu Sihe became more and more excited and almost jumped up.

"Then study those picture books Mom bought for you carefully. They will come in handy in a few days!"

Gu Sihe almost cried out.

"Then, can I stay with Big Brother and use his bright lamp?"

Gu Damao deliberately frowned and said, "It's not impossible, but if you are so noisy and irritable when you are reading, then..."

Gu Sihe quickly steadied himself and shouted, "No, no!"

Several people were amused by him and burst into laughter. Seeing how Aunt Lin's family had worked so hard to save his sister, Lin Yuanxin was so moved that he burst into tears.

She wanted to kneel down to express her gratitude, but she remembered that Aunt Lin didn't like this, so she could only say in a trembling voice: "Whether this succeeds or not, I will always remember your kindness in my heart."

Lin Qing smiled and held her hand, saying, "Do you think you can just watch? You have to follow me and let me do something. Of course, before that, I have something to entrust to Er Miao."

Gu Ermiao was counting his income for the day, but when he heard his mother's words, he quickly stood up.

"Ermiao, have you ever thought about this? There are only a few dozen households in our village. Even if we steam and sell them every day, the income is only a few dozen coins at most. So I thought it would be better to take it to the town to sell."

Gu Ermiao understood what his mother meant in a moment.

"That's right. It's always more profitable to make money from the majority than from the minority! But if we want to sell it in town, we have to go out early every day. It's not convenient whether we sell raw or cooked food..."

"Then do you remember Mr. Yu, the boss at the stall in town? He has flour, fire, and a stove. All we have to do is give him the stuffing and then negotiate a share of the dumplings, right?"

Gu Ermiao said in frustration that he was such a blockhead!

His mother clearly brought him with her when she went to the candied fruit shop to discuss business. He had thought of this way of making money as early as when his mother mentioned that she wanted to go to the town to sell buns!

"So, I'll leave the business negotiations with Boss Yu to you, okay?"

Gu Ermiao was ecstatic and promised that he would definitely not fail in his mission.

Lin Qing looked at the children and said, "Although I'm reluctant to let you go, I know it's time for you to see the world on your own. A bird that stays under the eaves can't withstand the wind and rain, nor can it fly high."

Hearing her say this, the children were grateful.

With their mother/aunt/Aunt Lin around, they feel at ease!

After Lin Qing pulled Lin Yuanxin out, he directly located Song Ni's home address on the map, and the two of them walked away.

Dusk was falling and the moon was shrouded in thick clouds, without any light at all. The road seemed even darker and the whole village was plunged into darkness.

There were no street lights at that time, and the villagers who were suffering from famine would not light lanterns and waste lamp oil. The roads in the village were not very flat. If she had not been afraid that Lin Yuanxin would notice something was wrong, she really wanted to buy a flashlight.

By the time we arrived at Songni's house, every household had locked their doors.

Lin Qing knocked on the door several times and waited for a while before Wu finally opened the door a crack and asked impatiently, "Who is it? What's the matter so late?"

Lin Qing had just opened her mouth when Mrs. Wu's attitude became even colder when she heard that the visitor was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family who had been shining brightly in the past two days.

Ever since the Gu family started selling buns, everyone talked about it and she heard about it all, and it was this Lin family!

Those people were ignorant and thought that making a little money was great, so they praised her highly. Wu scoffed at this.

It turns out that it wasn't her who was doing the dirty work behind Xifeng's back and doing the despicable thing of snatching her own Xifeng's marriage!

Since you dare to bring it to my door, don't blame her for asking for a sky-high price!
