Chapter 581: Sure enough, we can’t make close friends
"These days, our whole family goes out early and comes back late, devoting ourselves to tending those few acres of land. But," Qi sighed, "maybe we're not meant to be farmers. Anyway, the conditions on the land are very different from those of other families."
The Lin family consists of the elderly, the weak, women and children, and they have never been involved in farming before. Although they have the help of the Shen family and Jiang Goudan, when the Lin family really do it themselves, they always make mistakes.
With so many small mistakes accumulated, the situation on the Lin family's land naturally couldn't be any better.
Qi was worried last night, fearing that the family would not be able to stay here.
At this time, the concubine Lin Siyu gave her advice and asked her to go find Wu.
Qi didn't want to trouble the Shen family too much, but when it came to a life-or-death situation, people didn't care about so many moral constraints.
"Sister, please help me. Our family has to survive here." As Qi spoke, her eyes turned red.
Wu frowned slightly, but she still tried to appease him, "Look at what you said. How can you not make ends meet? Even if the harvest from the fields can't catch up with other families, you won't starve."
She naturally understood the implication of Qi's words, but she didn't want to respond.
Yes, the Lin family has done a favor to the Xiao family and Shen Yao, but this favor is owed by the eldest branch and has nothing to do with the other two branches of the Shen family. Even if she wants to agree to something for the Qi family, it will not involve the entire Shen family.
Moreover, Wu believed that the Shen family no longer owed the Lin family anything. You know, if the identity of the Lin family was exposed, it would be impossible for them to settle down in northern Hubei.
The Shen family was able to help the Lin family settle down and teach them how to survive, which was enough to offset the favor that Xiao and Shen Yao owed the Lin family.
"I know that as long as we work harder, we won't go hungry. But I have three sisters and two brothers at home. They are growing up and will have to get married in the future. The output from the land is of no use at all!" Seeing that Wu didn't respond, Qi explained it more clearly.
Wu paused, "Sister Qi, what do you want me to do?"
She suddenly hit the ball straight, which made Qi stunned for a moment. But since Qi had come, she had already put her face in her pocket. Hearing this, Qi smiled apologetically at Wu, "Sister, don't blame me. I came to you because I really had no other choice."
Mrs. Wu chuckled, "It's okay, Sister Qi, if you have something to say, just say it."
She was too lazy to beat around the bush with Qi. If what she asked for was not excessive, she would just help her.
Qi then revealed her intention, "I don't have any other extravagant requests, I just hope that if you need me in the future, you will think more about my little ones."
Wu really didn't expect Qi to say such a thing, "Just asking your children to help?"
She knew that it was definitely not for nothing, and the Shen family would not treat those who came to help unfairly. So what did Qi want to do?
"Yes," Qi lowered her eyes, not daring to look Wu in the eye. "I just hope they can learn some skills from the young men and women in your family, so that they can gain a foothold in this world in the future."
Wu finally understood. It turned out that Qi was thinking that she could "steal" some skills from the Shen family.
No wonder she was so hesitant to express her intention, because if she said it, and Wu agreed, she would not be able to say more if the Lin siblings had a bright future.
In other words, the Lin family wants the Shen family to give up their piece of the cake.
What Sister Qian said was true. It was true that one could not make close friends with members of the Lin family.
"Oh, I thought it was something else. If there was such an opportunity, I would definitely tell you." Wu smiled sincerely, but the smile was only on the surface and not in her eyes.
