Chapter 123: How should I start?

Lin Ziqiu glanced at her, pointed to several rooms where supplies were stored, and said, "I'll leave after I'm done."

Ruan Qing pursed his lips and obediently held the lantern in front.

Using the light, Lin Ziqiu took a look around and asked, "How many people have you prepared for tomorrow?"

"There are ten people, five of them distribute the goods, and five of them keep records. They will definitely stock up on supplies during the New Year. These supplies should be enough to sustain them for a month."

Ruan Qing asked expectantly, "Will you come tomorrow?"

Lin Ziqiu thought for a moment, "It depends on the situation. Boss Dong will invite reporters over. When you become famous, how are you going to explain it to the Ruan family?"

Ruan Qing disagreed, "I didn't spend their money. What I gave you was all my own private money. They have no right to control me."

"And don't worry, I will take care of this great thing by myself, and I will never let the Ruan family take any advantage of it."

I've contributed money and effort, there's no reason for me to be used by Ruan Shan to win people's hearts.

Lin Ziqiu didn't know to what extent her relationship with the Ruan family had become tense, but she would rather move out than stay there. It seemed that the original owner didn't have a very good life in the Ruan family.

But the original owner had always been under the control of her father.

Unlike Ruan Qing at this moment, she lives freely and unrestrainedly and will not be hindered by those hypocritical family ties.

In fact, Ruan Qing had no intention of breaking up with the Ruan family. She even took the initiative to show goodwill to Zhong Xueyuan and treated her illness. She also didn't want the Ruan family to end up as tragically as in the original plot.

But later she found that the Ruan family was a group of people who were dirty, despicable, shameless, selfish and heartless. She even felt physically uncomfortable when she was with them.

So after the falling out, she completely let herself go.

"Be careful. If you really encounter something, don't think about handling it alone. At least we are partners now. I can help you, and I won't stand idly by."

Lin Ziqiu's eyes were calm, and his tone was calm, but Ruan Qing's eyes were filled with tears when he heard it.

Ruan Qing didn't want to cry in front of her, so he laughed carelessly, "What can happen to me? They dare not do anything to me. But if you really want to help me, come and help me tomorrow."

She just hoped that she could witness such an important moment tomorrow with Lin Ziqiu.

Helping ordinary people avoid disasters is not only her long-cherished wish, but also Lin Ziqiu's original intention.

It is also the consensus of their cooperation.

Lin Ziqiu pursed her lips and did not refuse.

Ruan Qing was very happy. She pulled her to her room and insisted that Lin Ziqiu pick out clothes for her to wear tomorrow.

Seeing her posing in front of the mirror, Lin Ziqiu couldn't help but think of her childhood when she would also show off like this every time her mother bought her new clothes.

But God treated her unfairly and made her lose her mother at a young age.

After returning to the Lin family, she never wore new clothes. Even the clothes her mother bought for her when she was a child were taken away by her stepmother and given away to relatives as favors.

The clothes she wore were all picked up by Lin Mengyao that she couldn't wear or didn't like.

After three years of mending, she still didn't have anything decent to wear even for the New Year.

Seeing that she was helpless, Lin Dahai didn't care about her affairs at all. He even felt that she was shameful. During the New Year's greetings, he locked her in the room alone and didn't let her come out.

When outsiders asked about Lin Ziqiu, Lin Dahai and his family of four would only say that she had a weird personality, liked to lock herself in the room, and didn't know etiquette.

Over time, no one in the family compound liked her.

I feel that she was born by her mother but not raised by her.

The stepmother was the best at sowing discord. She would pretend to be aggrieved in front of everyone from time to time, saying that she had worked hard for this family and that no matter how nice she was to Lin Ziqiu, Lin Ziqiu would not appreciate it.

Lin Ziqiu's reputation was completely ruined.

When asked about the Lin family again, everyone would only praise Lin Mengyao.

"You...what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly crying?" Ruan Qing saw Lin Ziqiu crying in the mirror and was so scared that she immediately ran over to ask her.

Lin Ziqiu came back to her senses and wiped away her tears. "It's okay. There's sand in my eyes."

"Don't lie to me. There is no sand in this room." Ruan Qing sat beside her and handed her a handkerchief. "If you have something on your mind, you can tell me."

"I know that Zhong Heyang's matter made you feel resistant to me, but I promise you that except for this matter, I can be honest with you about everything else!"

Lin Ziqiu turned his face away and tried to adjust his mood, "I'm really fine."

Ruan Qing's face was filled with worry. "Do you want to drive me crazy? You've already cried, and you still say you're fine? Tell me now! Is it Zhong Zhiyang who made you angry? Or someone else? Tell me, and I'll help you vent your anger!"

How should Lin Ziqiu start?

The only thing she could think of doing now was to find the benefactor who helped her in the previous life. Even though her ability was insignificant now, she at least wanted to thank him in person.

That was the only light that saved her in her darkest moment.

"I just thought about my mother."

In order to avoid Ruan Qing's random guesses, Lin Ziqiu could only answer like this.

Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment. "Hey! We are in the same boat. We can't go back to this broken place. What is the task your system has given you?"

Lin Ziqiu pursed her lips and said, "My mission is... to live better than the original owner."

"ah?"

Ruan Qing was shocked. "So that's it. Your original owner was a strong woman who was a business tycoon. She was really awesome..."

She held her chin and analyzed seriously: "But her starting point in her previous life was too low. She went to the countryside as an educated youth and married a very bad husband. Her husband's family depended on her alone, and they even moved to the city."

"Now you have married much better than the original owner, so you don't have to worry about these things. Even if you don't work hard, with Zhong Heyang, you will have a bright future in the future."

Lin Ziqiu asked back: "Why should I rely on him? The original owner was able to succeed on her own in her previous life, so can I."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault!" Ruan Qing laughed and slapped his mouth a few times, "No wonder you are preparing for the college entrance examination, but your quest line will take many years..."

"And you?"

"Me?" Ruan Qing's face was full of melancholy, as if she had lost all her energy. "If I hadn't married Zhong Heyang before I turned 30, I might have died."

Lin Ziqiu was stunned, "Really?"

What made her angry before was that Ruan Qing approached her for Zhong Heyang and to complete the task, and he didn't really regard her as a friend.

But when Ruan Qing said again that she would die if she didn't marry Zhong Heyang, Lin Ziqiu felt a little sad in her heart.

"It's absolutely true. I'm a dog if I lied to you." Ruan Qing explained, "In fact, I only need to marry him, and then divorce him to complete my mission... But I've been here for so long, and Zhong Heyang won't change his mind."
