Chapter 37 Intelligence is no worse than others

"Alright, brother, it's getting late. Let's get some rest. I want to go up the mountain again tomorrow." Lin Luoxi stretched her tired legs and urged Lin Wenqian to go and rest.

Lin Wenqian frowned upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, "Lin Daya, why are you going up the mountain again?"

His voice was so excited that it attracted the attention of Lin Dayou, Lin Wangshi, and Lin Luoning, who were talking to Lin Wentao inside the room.

Compared to the excited Lin Wenqian in front of her, Lin Luoxi smiled instead, "Big brother, why are you so excited?"

I'm going up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs and hunt a bit while I'm at it. I want to earn more money so you can go to a private school.

"I don't want to go to any private school. Our lives are already very good."

When Lin Wenqian thought back to seeing Lin Luoxi covered in blood during the day, he was truly terrified. His mind went blank, and he felt completely powerless.

If Lin Luoxi were to go to the mountains and something were to happen to her because of him, he would never be able to eat or sleep properly for the rest of his life.

"Brother, do you really want this kind of life?"

"With your intelligence, if you had the opportunity to study, you wouldn't be any worse than that good-for-nothing Lin Wenwu."

“If you had gone to a private school and passed the imperial examination, our family wouldn’t have been bullied to this extent by the Lin family, right, brother?”

Lin Luoxi didn't miss the longing that flashed in Lin Wenqian's eyes when she mentioned the private school, and began to patiently guide him.

"Second sister, you're talking nonsense. Father said I have no talent for studying, so why waste that money?" Lin Wenqian felt even more upset when he thought of what Lin Dayou had said before.

"Nonsense, my elder brother was eavesdropping on Lin Wenwu reciting his lessons under Lin Wenwu's window. He was able to memorize them after just one listen."

"If someone with this level of intelligence isn't cut out for studying, then what is?" Lin Luoxi thought to herself, this thought suddenly flashing through her mind as the topic of private schools came up.

"I, I, second sister, don't say anymore. As long as our family has enough to eat and wear, that's fine." Lin Wenqian quickly interrupted Lin Luoxi when he heard her bring up the past.

"Brother, I will naturally take care of our family's basic needs, and you must also take care of your studies. In the traditional social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, only when you pass the imperial examinations can our Lin family hold its head high."

"Let the Lin family and the villagers see that even if we sever ties with the Lin family, our lives will only get better and better." Lin Luoxi's thinking wasn't as simple as Lin Wenqian's; she had a much longer-term vision.

Lin Dayou, Lin Wangshi, and Lin Luoning stood at the door of the room, listening to the conversation between Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian in the courtyard. They were overwhelmed with grief and tears welled up in their eyes.

"My dear wife, I'm truly useless. I couldn't send our child to a private school." Mainly, he had listened to his mother before and thought that his own child was simply not cut out for studying. He was truly deserving of death.

Today, after hearing what his daughter said, I felt as if my heart was stuffed with cotton.

"Ha, back then you were so focused on your parents, your older brother and sister-in-law, and your precious nephew, how could you have seen Wenqian's longing for education?" Lin Wangshi couldn't empathize with Lin Dayou's distress.

She always knew her child longed to study, but her husband only knew how to work hard every day, using the money he earned to support his older brother's children's education.

Even though all the money in the house was earned by her husband, she and her children were still hungry and cold. Seeing that the eldest son's family was not only well-fed and well-clothed, she still felt a bit resentful towards the man beside her.

Hearing Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian's conversation now, she felt as if she were being slowly tortured.

Upon hearing what Lin Dayou said in his ear, the resentment in his heart instantly surged to the top of his head, and he retorted without any politeness.

"I..." Lin Dayou originally wanted Lin Wangshi to comfort him, but he didn't expect that his usually gentle and understanding wife would not only not comfort him, but also stab him in the heart like this, leaving him speechless.

"Hmph!" Anyway, her child would be in charge of the family from now on, so Lin Wangshi didn't spoil him. After giving Lin Dayou a cold snort, she turned around and sat down by Lin Wentao's bedside again, telling Lin Wentao in detail about the changes in the family.

"Er Ya, your mother..." Why has she become so temperamental today? She even dares to talk back to him.

"Hmph!" Lin Luoning snorted as well, seeing her father's stupid expression of not realizing that it was his fault, and turned to go back to her room.

In the instant I turned around, my whole body tensed up, and my shoulders trembled slightly.

She wasn't secretly laughing; she was quietly shedding tears. In this life, her family had changed because of her second sister's return. How wonderful.

"What's wrong with them?" Lin Wenqian was chatting with Lin Luoxi when he turned around to look, only to see strange expressions on the faces of the three of them.

"It's nothing. I guess everyone's just happy to hear that you'll be able to attend a private school soon." Lin Luoxi is a top genius from an ancient martial arts family. She naturally overheard the conversation between Lin Dayou and Lin Wangshi, and she was very pleased with the changes in Lin Wangshi and Lin Luoning.

In this world where husbands are everything, Lin Luoxi hopes that her mother and sister can be strong-willed and not be bullied.

"Oh, it's getting late, let's rest!" Lin Wenqian stopped insisting on Lin Luoxi going up the mountain and softened his tone.

"Mmm." Lin Luoxi responded obediently, turned around, and quickly went back to her room.

If she remembered correctly, she thought she saw Lin Luoning, that Lily, cry.

This little girl, who looks only four or five years old, occasionally reveals a profound, adult-like expression.

Lin Luoxi believed that this little sister must also have a secret.

"Little sister, are you asleep?" As soon as Lin Luoxi entered the room, she saw Lin Luoning lying on the straw bed with her eyes closed. She walked over and asked softly.

"..." Second sister, are you stupid? If she answers, wouldn't that mean she's pretending to be asleep?

Lin Luoxi saw that Lin Luoning's eyes were still moving under her eyelids, and she knew that the little girl was pretending to be asleep.

But the other party refused to open their eyes, so Lin Luoxi could only lie down on the other side of Lin Luoning, still fully clothed.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." When the rooster crowed for the first time, Lin Luoxi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes.

Lin Luoxi heard Lin Luoning's steady, rhythmic breathing and a smile curved her lips.

Silently repeat in your mind: Go in.

The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself in a completely different environment.

Lin Luoxi got up and first patrolled the space.

Afterwards, they discovered that the space was just an empty expanse of black earth and a spring of spiritual dew, with nothing else.

Of course, there were also a few free-range chickens and ducks that she had snatched back from Old Lin's house, as well as a spotted pig.

The poultry were fairly well-behaved, staying in one corner of the open space and not wandering towards Linglu Spring.
