"I thought you guys weren't coming back, it took you so long to get here!"
Zhao Hongxia's eyes darted back and forth in the car, as if she were afraid that these people would lose her son.
Lin Qingyu jumped out of the car and told her everything she needed to know, ending with a single sentence.
“My mother needs to rest and can’t take care of him. Remember everything I just said, otherwise don’t come looking for us if anything happens to him.”
Zhao Hongxia's most beloved son is Lin Aiguo; her other two sons have not appeared in public to this day.
Therefore, Lin Qingyu was not worried at all that she would let Lin Aiguo do as he pleased.
With that, Lin Aiguo's matter came to an end.
Lin Qingyu led Li Xiuhua home. Gu Shi went to change the oxcart. She asked Zhao Xiaobao again.
"Haven't decided what to eat yet? That's okay, take your time. I'll cook first. We'll have rice today, and I'll steam meat buns for you tomorrow!"
"Wow! Really? Auntie, you're so kind! I love meat buns!"
Zhao Xiaobao's small body jumped up on the spot, and it was very clear that he really liked eating meat buns.
Lin Qingyu laughed heartily, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you!"
After settling Li Xiuhua in, she went to the kitchen to cook.
Zhao Xiaobao moved his own little stool, which Gu Shi had made for him. It was a small stool with a backrest, and he liked it very much.
As he sat on the bench pondering, he remembered that other children had told him this before.
"Your uncle got married and now he doesn't want you anymore. Your aunt will definitely kick you out of the house!"
Even if we don't kick you out, we'll definitely starve you and make you work!
He can now loudly tell the children that his aunt is very kind and will make his favorite meat buns for him.
I never made him do any work, nor did I ever say anything about preventing him from going to school.
His aunt is the best aunt in the world.
In the evening, Lin Qingyu brought out a pot of pork rib soup. She had gone out in the afternoon to buy some things.
Gu Shi didn't ask her anything. Li Xiuhua was shocked, while Zhao Xiaobao was overjoyed.
The family enjoyed a happy meal together.
During the day, Gu Shi placed a bed in the room where Zhao Xiaobao slept, with a curtain drawn between them.
Li Xiuhua and Zhao Xiaobao temporarily shared a room.
Lin Qingyu slept in the same bed with Gu Shi. She exposed her arms and casually played with Gu Shi's fingers.
"Was dinner good tonight?"
Gu Shi was somewhat distracted and only replied, "It's delicious."
"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"I promise you."
Lin Qingyu was taken aback and said, "I haven't even said what it is, and you've already agreed?"
Gu Shi agreed without hesitation, without even thinking about it.
"I can agree to anything you say, except for one thing."
Lin Qingyu didn't ask what it was about; she could probably guess.
He was just about to ask what he wanted to ask earlier, "I'd like my mother to stay here a few more days, you..."
"I don't mind staying as long as I want. I was planning to build a house anyway, because there's not enough room in my current place."
“Building a house is no problem, I’ll do whatever you say, but I want to discuss something else with you.”
"you say."
Gu Shi turned his hand around and grasped Lin Qingyu's slender fingers, listening carefully to what she was saying.
“I want to earn money with you. This home belongs to both of us, and I want to work hard with you to earn money.”
Gu Shi's first reaction was to refuse, but then he thought of something and spoke with a hint of probing.
"It's possible, but the jobs I do are all very tiring, except for the occasional trip to the county town to sell things."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyu's eyes lit up considerably, and she nodded repeatedly.
"I may not be able to do anything else, but I can still help you sell things!"
She prefers going to the county town, where she can earn her own money; otherwise, there's no point in staying in one place.
Since the last upgrade, Lin Qingyu's space has remained silent.
But she wasn't discouraged at all; these were enough for her.
After ending the conversation, Lin Qingyu fell into a deep sleep. Gu Shi suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at her.
Nothing was said that night.
The next day, Gu Shi needed to go up the mountain to check out the trap he had set a couple of days earlier.
He took Zhao Xiaobao with him, and the two of them left early in the morning, before the weather got too hot.
Upon arriving at the destination, we found it to be quite remote, as almost no villagers ventured there, except for people like Gu Shi.
He instructed Zhao Xiaobao not to leave the area he had drawn, which was just a small space.
Then he went to deal with his own trap.
Unexpectedly, while Zhao Xiaobao was playing there, he suddenly saw something strange.
It looks a bit like a mushroom, but it's dark and hard.
He didn't know what it was, but it looked like something good, so he picked it up and put it in his little basket.
Then after walking a few steps, you see another one, and after walking a few more steps, you see yet another one.
In the end, he found a total of five.
Gu Shi's trap caught a pheasant, which was still alive and looked like it had only been there a short time.
He remembered that Lin Qingyu had said she wanted to raise some poultry, so he rescued the pheasant.
On their way home, the two passed by the entrance of the former educated youth center and saw a large crowd gathered there.
"Wu Zhiqing, you're really outrageous! You tricked my mother into going to find someone, and she almost got dragged out for a public denunciation!"
Lin Juanjuan stood with her hands on her hips at the entrance of the educated youth center and began to curse loudly.
"If you don't understand these procedures, don't talk nonsense. And you're from the city? Bah!"
Wu Lili looked at her through the door, appearing innocent and pure.
"I really didn't mean it, Aunt Lin Juan, please don't scold me like that."
Several onlookers nearby couldn't stand it anymore and began to criticize Lin Juanjuan.
"Wu Zhiqing didn't do it on purpose, so please say less!"
"Yes, yes, we should be forgiving when we can!"
Lin Juanjuan became even angrier, turned around and pointed at these people, saying, "So it's not your family's business, and you're all making sarcastic remarks!"
A few men, mostly unmarried young men in their early twenties, stood up with righteous expressions.
“Aunt Lin Juanjuan, that’s not right of you. It’s obvious that your family didn’t know what to do, so you came to Wu Zhiqing for help.”
"Why are you siding with Wu Zhiqing? Do you also have feelings for her?"
Lin Juanjuan's fighting power was off the charts at this moment, and no one could defeat her. Soon, the people here dispersed.
Gu Shi wasn't interested in listening and had already gone home.
So no one saw that after Lin Juanjuan gave him a good scolding, Feng Chao took advantage of the fact that no one was around and secretly slipped into the educated youth center.
He was recently locked up at home to reflect on his actions after doing such a disgraceful thing, so of course his father wouldn't let him out.
They even suspended his classes at school.
He was finally able to get out, but the first thing he did was to look for Wu Lili.
