Lin Jingyu: ...
I finally know who screwed me over.
Lin Jingyu gritted her teeth in anger; wasn't this guy overstepping his bounds?
It's about time he took charge of our family.
"Jingyu, don't be angry."
Seeing Lin Jingyu about to bite someone in anger, Peng Shiyu quickly acted coquettishly, "My brother was thinking that if your parents, your brother, or your younger brother come to visit you in the future, it will be convenient for them to stay overnight, so you won't have to ask them to stay at other people's houses."
"Jingyu, my brother is really thinking of you. Think about it, isn't that right?"
“Hehe~”
Lin Jingyu responded with two cold laughs.
Even though there was some truth to what he said, she still felt that the guy had ill intentions.
I'm too lazy to bother with the little schemes of these siblings.
Turning around and looking at his yard, he muttered to himself, "Looks like I'll have to build a lounge in the yard."
Peng Shiyu asked curiously, "Sister Jingyu, what is a lounge?"
"It's a place for drinking tea and chatting, you could also call it a living room."
Lin Jingyu pointed to the courtyard, "It's fine to eat or entertain guests in the courtyard now that it's summer, but who would sit in the cold wind to eat or drink tea in the winter?"
"That's true..."
Peng Shiyu smiled shyly, "Sister Jingyu, when my brother comes back, can you ask him to help you set up the lounge?"
"Never mind, I'll ask Uncle Jianguo to help me."
Lin Jingyu shook her head and refused.
She didn't dare trouble Young Master Peng; she'd rather find a solution herself.
Peng Shiyu didn't want to force the issue, so she said, "Alright then, Jingyu, you decide."
"I'm not going to chat with you right now, I need to go to work."
Let's put this matter aside for now.
Lin Jingyu gave her a few more instructions before rushing off to work.
They met Mu Qiuyue and Shen Susu when they arrived at the educated youth compound.
"Lin, the educated youth~"
Mu Qiuyue greeted her with a smile, "Are you going to work now?"
"yes."
Lin Jingyu nodded. "I didn't expect you, Mu Zhiqing, to be working already. You're really diligent."
"I had no choice."
Mu Qiuyue laughed self-deprecatingly, "Someone like me who came to the countryside empty-handed, I probably wouldn't have anything to eat if I didn't work hard."
"Labor is the most glorious thing."
Lin Jingyu smiled sincerely, "It's not shameful for us to earn a living with our own hands. Mu Zhiqing, one day you will also live the life you want."
"Thanks."
Mu Qiuyue did not feel that her words were sarcastic.
On the contrary, she felt that what the other person said was right, and she was full of confidence in her future. "Lin Zhiqing, I heard that you have mung beans, right?"
"You want to exchange it for mung beans?"
Lin Jingyu asked a question in return.
When building the house, she cooked mung bean soup to entertain the craftsmen, and they were not surprised that she had mung beans.
Mu Qiuyue readily admitted, "Yes, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. I'd like to exchange some mung beans with you to make porridge so I don't get heatstroke."
"No problem, come find me after work."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
...
The two talked as they walked into the village.
However, the two were not in the same group and soon parted ways.
Shen Susu, who hadn't uttered a word the whole way, watched Lin Jingyu's retreating figure, a complex look flashing in her eyes.
Still feeling somewhat resentful, she couldn't help but say, "She has no worries about food or drink, of course she'll say nice things. Who would want to live a hard life when there's a good life to live?"
"Susu, what you said is not right."
Mu Qiuyue's expression was serious, and her tone was also quite earnest: "Whether it's Lin, Yang, or the two Peng and Su, their families are wealthy enough to allow them to live a life without worrying about food and drink. That's because their elders have put in a lot of effort and hard work to build their fortunes."
There is no such thing as a windfall in this world. No one's money is picked up for free; it is all earned by the blood and sweat of their elders.
It's not easy for anyone to have a substantial family fortune. The family business that the elders earned through blood and sweat was all for the sake of their descendants being able to live a stable life.
To be honest, we have no right to blame or be jealous of them. At most, we envy their good fortune in having elders to protect and care for them.
"Of course I envy their good luck."
Shen Susu's tone was low and dejected, and one could hear the longing in her voice: "Everyone hopes to have the protection of elders, but not everyone is fortunate enough to have that."
"That's right, we certainly don't have that kind of luck."
Mu Qiuyue nodded in agreement, frankly admitting, "However, we don't have that blessing, but we can work hard so that our children can live a life free from worries about food and drink, just like them."
When we finally have that ability, we'll naturally feel no different from the elders who raised Lin Zhiqing; we'll all hope our children won't have to work too hard and try our best to provide them with a good life.
"Yeah, you're right."
Shen Susu responded with a sound, then fell completely silent.
Mu Qiuyue glanced at her involuntarily, but did not say anything more.
After work.
Mu Qiuyue indeed came to exchange mung beans with Lin Jingyu.
She brought half a pound of ginger candy.
"This is good stuff."
Upon seeing the ginger candy, Lin Jingyu couldn't help but sigh.
Moreover, she knew that this was a specialty of Guangdong and Guangxi. In her previous life, she had a roommate from Guangdong and Guangxi who had brought ginger candy for them to eat.
The ginger candy has a strong but delicious flavor, and I've heard it can treat mild colds.
People with headaches and bloating, general body aches and discomfort, or poor appetite can try eating ginger candy.
