While filial piety is a virtue in this era, blind obedience is not.
She's a good girl who won't bother others unless they bother her, and she's even tolerated her stepmother before.
But what was the result? It was just repeated attempts to take advantage.
So, at this point, why is she still holding back and giving in?
If it weren't for the original owner of this body, she would have been tempted to take drastic measures to punish her cheapskate mother.
If you want to boss her around, have you asked her if she'd be happy about it?
Seeing her sister's reaction, Liu Shihua felt somewhat helpless, but said nothing more.
He wasn't really stupid; he knew his sister well enough to understand that there was no point in him saying anything.
If he continues talking, my sister will probably have a sparring session with him.
Thinking about her sister's skills, Liu Shihua decided to let it go, since it wasn't entirely her sister's fault.
When the grain station manager heard that Liu Shihua wanted to resign, he was surprised but also somewhat understanding.
After all, he's still just a student, and his main focus should be on his studies. If he weren't so capable, he wouldn't have been kept around until now.
However, he was still somewhat reluctant to let go of such a capable fellow.
He had wanted to say something, but seeing the child's resolute expression, he understood that the child had made a decision.
So he stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously, "You kid probably really don't want to stay."
Okay, I can't force you to stay. I approve your resignation.
However, you can come back and visit more often when you have time, and you can come and find me if you need anything, okay?
He was a man of principle. If his daughter hadn't told him that the child was also doing very well academically, he would have actually considered keeping the child at the grain station.
There are many things that educated people can do after they have finished their studies; they don't necessarily have to put in a lot of effort, right?
However, he wouldn't hold the country back; after all, he's a talent cultivated by the country.
He should study hard so he can make greater contributions to the country in the future; it's really not appropriate for him to stay here.
Liu Shihua was grateful to the station chief, who had been very kind to all of them. When he came to resign, he felt embarrassed and always felt sorry for the station chief.
Hearing the stationmaster say that, he felt relieved and as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Thank you, stationmaster. I'll come back to visit often in the future." His expression was exceptionally sincere; well, he was serious all along.
The stationmaster nodded in satisfaction. This child was hardworking, sensible, and intelligent. If he studied hard, his future would certainly be bright.
He is willing to take care of such children if he has the ability, provided that it does not violate his principles and bottom line.
When Liu Shihua left the grain station after resigning, she felt a sense of emptiness.
However, this feeling was only momentary. Thinking of his sister's grand plan to reclaim the wasteland, he was filled with energy again.
My sister is right; often, having food in hand is worse than having money.
Most importantly, they don't lack money right now, so they might as well start clearing land, since they're idle anyway.
After adjusting her mindset, Liu Shihua quickly went to school.
He took leave to take his father home; he wouldn't dare skip school like his sister does.
Meanwhile, Liu Shile was being forced to attend extra classes by Grandma Wang.
That's right, she has to make up for both her painting and embroidery classes. It's because this girl not only wasn't home during the holidays, but she also took a month off after school started.
Fortunately, Liu Shile's mental strength has improved considerably.
Not only does it make learning easier, but it also allows the mental power to control crops on the farm's wasteland.
Of course, it's impossible to control all the wasteland instantly; each time, you can only control about a third of the land.
However, this is much better than her doing the work herself, so she now has more free time.
Therefore, she didn't mind Grandma Wang's grueling tutoring, but because she took too much leave, the pharmacy apprenticeship was no longer available.
Liu Shile wasn't disappointed, after all, she had gained quite a bit from this trip.
She just felt a bit bored staying at home every day, and when she got bored, she wanted to do something fun.
As a result of all this fuss, she came up with all sorts of different kinds of medicine.
In order to test the drug's effects, the animals in Liu Shile's space suffered a bit. She accidentally killed quite a few of them—well, the drugs killed quite a few.
Then she felt sorry for them, and later found an opportunity to catch a lot of white mice and raise them on the farm.
So when she did experiments later, she didn't feel so bad about the cost of mice, since they were free and grew quickly.
When Wang Guangjie and his sister returned home for the weekend, they were stunned to hear that Liu Shihua had quit her temporary job at the grain station.
When they heard them say they were going to clear some wasteland, the brother and sister were a little confused.
"Lele, farming is really not easy, especially in the deep mountains where there are many wild animals. I bet the plants will be eaten by wild animals before they even grow."
Wang Guangying often visits her maternal grandmother's house, so she knows some of the difficulties of farming.
So when I hear about clearing land, I think it's not very reliable. What if wild animals destroy it? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort and money?
Wang Guangjie remained silent; as far as he knew, the brother and sister were not confused people.
They must have had their reasons for making such a decision.
So he tugged at his sister's sleeve and said with a smile, "It's good to clear some wasteland. This year's disaster has left many people unable to buy food."
"Well then, we're both free anyway, we can go help out together."
If his brother is in trouble, he's naturally willing to lend a hand.
Okay, he really wants to master kung fu, so he'll probably learn faster by following more skilled teachers.
Wang Guangying looked at her older brother in disbelief. Was her older brother sincere?
How could he do this? Instead of trying to comfort Lele and the others, he went and offered to help them!
Liu Shihua's gaze then shifted to her younger sister; it all depended on whether her sister was willing or not.
The reason Liu Shile told them about this was because she had the idea of having the Wang siblings reclaim the wasteland together.
However, they must not know about the cave.
So Liu Shi smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Of course you can, but don't complain when the time comes."
Also, as you know, the environment in the deep mountains is such that we need to spend some time building a thatched hut first.
Otherwise, when we're tired from work, we won't even have a place to rest.
Hearing her sister say this, Liu Shihua understood that her sister didn't want to share the secret of the cave with them.
Isn't this a bit inappropriate?
However, since the cave was discovered by the younger sister, she has the right to decide whether or not to share it.
So he remained silent and decided to ask his sister what her plan was before saying anything.
"Hey, big brother, why are you messing around with Lele too?"
"Lele, let me tell you, if we really clear the land, there will be tons of birds, wild boars, and rabbits in the mountains. If they eat our crops, we'll be at a loss."
It wasn't that she was afraid of hard work; practicing throwing knives over the past year hadn't been easy. She was just worried about wasting money, food, and energy.
In her opinion, Lele and the others would be better off hunting and exchanging their time for money to buy food.
It's better than having your hard-earned crops trampled by wild animals, right?
Seeing this, Liu Shile rolled her eyes. What happened to the brainless fan?
