The next day, Lin Xue took Old Man Gu and Old Man Gu to Liulin Town.
Grandma Wang led the two to her nephew's house through the back door, while Lin Xue stayed at the Wang family home to chat with Wang Shengli.
Also, check on the medication and recovery progress of Wang Shengli's right leg.
Unfortunately, Lin Xue was only familiar with pharmacology, but had not actually studied medicine.
If one had systematically studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, the recovery effect would be even better if the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment were combined with acupuncture treatment.
"Knock knock knock, is Wang Shengli home?"
After Lin Xue finished examining Wang Shengli's leg, she heard a knocking sound coming from the courtyard gate.
"They're here!"
Wang Shengli has difficulty walking, so since Lin Xue was there, she was the one who opened the door.
"May I ask who you are?"
The person who arrived was wearing a uniform and must have been someone from Wang Shengli's workplace.
"You're here to see my senior brother, right? Come in!"
Lin Xue opened the gate and called out into the courtyard, "Senior brother, someone is looking for you!"
After the other person came in, Lin Xue poured them a glass of water and asked them to chat in the courtyard.
"Senior brother, I'm going out to buy something. You guys keep chatting, the thermos is right next to the table, help yourself when you're done!"
Lin Xue planned to go to the post office to see if there had been any responses to the other manuscripts she had sent out.
"Thank you, I know this place very well, junior sister, you don't need to be so polite with me!"
This person spoke with a smile on his lips, giving him a somewhat cunning and manipulative air.
"Who are you calling 'junior sister'? She's my junior sister, understand?"
Wang Shengli was a little annoyed. He finally had a junior sister, and although it wasn't exactly legitimate, it had nothing to do with him, Huang Xinyuan, right?
"Don't be so stingy! Your junior sister is my junior sister too, we're all the same!"
Lin Xue could still hear the two arguing in the courtyard even after she left the house.
"Haha, my senior brothers are really energetic!"
Walking down the street, Lin Xue looked at the pedestrians. In this era, people were considered to be from well-off families if they could wear clothes without patches.
Even in the town, the old women chatting at their doorsteps wore patched clothes, but their poverty did not lead them into misery.
The simple, unpretentious smiles, the positive outlook on life, the familiarity among neighbors—the distance between people seemed much closer than in later generations.
"Comrade, do you have any letters from Lin Xue of Gujia Village?"
Upon arriving at the post office, Lin Xue leaned over the counter and asked the people inside for directions.
"I think I do, wait a minute and I'll show you!"
Sitting inside was a woman in her forties. When she heard Lin Xue's question, she took out a thick stack of envelopes from the drawer.
After rummaging through the contents, I pulled out an envelope and handed it to the counter.
"Gu Family Village, Lin Xue, is that right?"
When the postman handed the envelope to Lin Xue, he also checked it again.
"Yes, it's me!" Lin Xue nodded quickly.
"Sign here!"
The postman handed Lin Xue a form and asked her to sign it.
After he signed the document, he allowed Lin Xue to take the letter away.
Lin Xue glanced at the address on the envelope; it was from Suzhou City, so it seemed to be a letter from her older brothers.
Lin Xue walked out of the post office, sat on the small steps outside, and opened the envelope to read its contents.
The letter was written by Lin Laoda, who wrote about the family's situation in the envelope.
Then he inquired about Lin Xue's situation and showed concern for her younger sister's well-being, fearing that Lin Xue's personality might lead the Gu family to dislike her.
Then he mentioned in the letter that his older brother is now dating a female colleague from the factory, introduced by a matchmaker.
Lin Lao Er hasn't made any moves yet. He just goes to work all day and stays at home after work, without going out to play.
Li Tiehua, as a mother, worried a lot about her second son, and so on.
Although the eldest son of the Lin family did not write anything else about Li Tiehua and Old Man Lin in the letter, Lin Xue could guess that the couple probably had talked about her a lot at home.
In the past, Lin Xue would have stayed far away from such exceptional individuals. However, after experiencing several worlds, Lin Xue's thoughts have changed significantly.
Although the old man Lin and his wife Li Tiehua had significant personality flaws, they were quite sexist and looked down on their daughter.
Ultimately, however, it was all the original owner's own idea, and Li Tiehua merely played a role in facilitating it.
If the original owner hadn't had those thoughts, the couple probably wouldn't have done such a thing. At most, they might have disliked the original owner's daughter, but since she married far away, it would just mean less contact.
Just thinking about the original owner of this body gave Lin Xue a headache.
"If those mentally unstable original owners could truly experience a different life and have their distorted values corrected, that would be great!"
After reading the letter, Lin Xue couldn't help but sigh.
"bite!"
"Host, your performance during the mission will be transmitted to the original owner's soul through memories!"
"The more education the original owner received and the greater the changes, the more merit points you will receive!"
"Besides the fact that your great contributions to the world will be blessed by the Heavenly Dao and you will be granted a certain amount of merit points, the gratitude of the original hosts will also be converted into merit points and fall into your hands!"
As Lin Xue's sigh faded, 629's voice suddenly emerged.
"629, you're actually here?"
The appearance of 629 surprised Lin Xue for a moment. Wasn't this guy the one who would disappear after introducing the mission?
Why did they suddenly appear this time?
"Host, accompanying you on your missions is also part of our duty as a system!"
"It's just that most of the time, unless the host calls out, our system remains silent!"
In order to demonstrate his diligence, 629 did not tell the truth.
It had actually just arrived when it heard Lin Xue's mutterings, which is why it offered a few words of explanation.
"Oh! I see!"
Lin Xue had become accustomed to completing world missions independently, and whether or not she had a system didn't matter to her, which is why she was curious about 629's sudden appearance.
"By the way, host, there's a side quest you'd like to take? This quest won't count towards your quest score, but it comes with extra rewards!"
Because 629 used to always be out and about and rarely stayed with Lin Xue, Lin Xue didn't know about the side quests.
"Tell me about it!"
To be honest, the tasks in this world are far too simple, and Lin Xue has long been getting bored.
However, she has no intention of working or changing the world. All she wants to do in this life is live a good life. She's just taking a break and experiencing retirement life in advance.
However, this side quest on June 29th has piqued Lin Xue's interest.
Even for retirement, just eating, sleeping, and teaching the kids every day would be too boring!
