Chapter 216 What is Face?
Doesn't that mean that hope is dashed again?
Song Youzu looked at the green buds on the ground dejectedly, then suddenly perked up again.
No, if there were no seeds, why would Lin Qing ask me to come here!
He understood in an instant—
It must be because I didn't give her face in front of everyone that day, so this young wife holds a grudge and wants me to bow down and apologize to her!
If it were his usual personality, Song Youzu would ignore all these twists and turns, but now, for the sake of everyone in Songsi Village, what does his face matter?
So he suddenly straightened his back, bowed deeply to Lin Qing, and said, "I wonder if Madam still has any seeds here. If you can give them to me without any grudges... No, I can buy them, no matter how high the price is!"
Lin Qing hurriedly held onto Song Youzu's arm and said, "No, no! Dasong did send some back later, but our family didn't lack food, so we didn't think about growing any. After the famine, we were driven out of our home. After we moved back, we wanted to send it to you as soon as possible, but..."
Although Lin Qing did not say the next words explicitly, Song Youzu understood them.
People originally wanted to send something to him, but he always kept them at a distance and kept holding on to his previous mistakes. So who would be willing to put their face forward to him?
It’s such a waste that he has lived to such an old age, but he is not as open-minded as his descendants!
Song Youzu sighed deeply and looked at Lin Qing in front of him. He felt indescribable guilt in his heart and apologized sincerely.
"I was just too self-centered. If not, our village would have grown vegetables long ago, and we wouldn't have to go up the mountain every day..."
Seeing that he was about to cry again, Lin Qing quickly stopped him and said, "Sanmu, why don't you go to mother's cabinet and get those rapeseeds and give them to Grandpa Youzu!"
Gu Sanmu was a little confused since his mother started speaking.
Although these rapeseeds cannot be seen all over the mountain, they are not difficult to find if you look carefully. Why did my mother lie to Grandpa Youzu and say that my father sent them back?
But seeing Grandpa Youzu's convinced look, he vaguely understood why his mother did this.
If I don’t bring my father out, I’m afraid Grandpa Youzu won’t believe it.
Mom is really awesome!
It is no exaggeration to say that he can predict the future!
Lin Qing handed a heavy bag of rapeseed to Song Youzu and said, "Uncle Youzu, these red amaranths were all grown by Sanmu. You can just ask him to help. Of course, if you're short on manpower, just let us know. Our family is always on standby."
Song Youzu's hands were shaking, and he felt that the thing he received was extremely heavy.
After thanking him again, Song Youzu quickly left Lin Qing's house, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry to work in the fields; Gu Sanmu also said goodbye to his mother and left in a hurry.
Gu Ermiao, who was sorting the bills, raised his head and looked at the backs of the two people with some worry.
"Brother Ermiao, this is the clothes you are mending. Check if there is anything that doesn't fit."
Gu Ermiao seemed not to hear.
Lin Yuanxin followed his gaze and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Ermiao muttered to himself, "Xiao Xin, what do you think would happen if someone suddenly grew vegetables that could be sold at a high price during a famine like this?"
Although he asked this, he knew in his heart that Grandpa Song Youzu was not such a selfish person, but he could not resist the suspicion of some people in the village.
After all, compared to being selfless, people would rather believe that everyone has bad intentions.
Lin Yuanxin thought for a moment, but did not answer his question directly.
"My neighbor, Uncle Niu, was a very hardworking man. He was the first person in our village to dig a pond and raise fish. He worked day and night for months. Just when he saw the fry were about to be sold, someone poisoned the pond... The pond was full of fish, and all of them turned upside down. Uncle Niu couldn't bear to throw them away, so he cooked them and ate them. As a result, his entire family was wiped out."
Gu Ermiao felt cold all over when he heard this. He suddenly stood up, thanked him and ran out of the door.
Grandpa Youzu and Sanmu cannot grow this thing. This thing is not a life-saving vegetable, it is a knife that kills people!
Lin Qing naturally also heard what Lin Yuanxin said, and couldn't help but give Yuanxin and his second son a thumbs up in his heart.
At such a young age, he understands the principle that an innocent man may be guilty of possessing a treasure. The future is promising!
It’s great that the children are growing up so fast and are now gradually developing their own ideas.
I believe that in the near future, she will be able to reap the benefits!
Hehe, I feel a little excited just thinking about it!
But right now, we can't let Er Miao go looking for Song Youzu so recklessly. It's no big deal if he misunderstands that I'm going back on my word. We must have a plan for this matter, instead of retreating when we see danger.
In a moment she had a plan for what to do.
"Ermiao, go find Grandpa Youzu first and tell them what Xiaoxin just said. When we get there, we can discuss what to do next."
Gu Ermiao stopped and was a little surprised that his mother had guessed what he was going to do, but he was relieved in an instant.
With his mother as his support, he has nothing to worry about.
"Okay, then I'll go to Grandpa Youzu's field and wait for you..."
Gu Ermiao, who had already run out, suddenly turned back and pressed the shoulder of Gu Sihe, who had just run home and was panting, and said, "Mom, if you don't know where Grandpa Youzu's land is, let Sihe take you there."
When Gu Sihe heard that he was going again, he wailed and collapsed to the ground.
Lin Qing was amused by Gu Sihe's behavior and said, "You don't have to go. We will find someone who knows the place. Sihe, go back and continue reading your comic book."
Gu Sihe applauded and cheered, completely forgetting the fatigue of the journey, and skipped back to the house.
"Yuan Xin, can you come with me for another run?"
Although Lin Yuanxin didn't know what Aunt Lin was going to do, he was very happy to be able to help her. He put down his things and followed Lin Qing.
But what she didn't expect was that Aunt Lin actually took her to the bricklayer's house again.
Wu was just about to leave when she saw Lin Qing, revealing a genuinely happy smile. She said, "Sister Lin, you're here! Xifeng is now fine thanks to your care. I was thinking of coming to thank you! What brings you here?"
Seeing her carrying a basket, Lin Qing knew she was going up the mountain. A little embarrassedly, he said, "I'm afraid I'll be interrupting your business, Mrs. Wu. We have some work to do and we'd like to trouble Brother Songni to take care of it."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Hey, isn't it just the top of your wall? Don't worry, we built it back then, so we know what bricks they used... raising it is easy for us!"
Lin Qing interrupted her and said, "It's not my home, but I'm sorry I can't tell you where it is right now."
When Mrs. Wu heard her say this, she uttered a soft "oh" and looked at Lin Qing with an inquiring look for a few times. She tried hard to hide her inner displeasure before shouting towards the door:
"Xifeng's father, come out and follow Sister Lin to check out the work area. Just leave Xifeng to me!"
She originally thought that Songni, who loved his daughter dearly, would refuse without a second thought. However, she didn't expect that when Songni heard that the person coming was Lin Qing, he ran out of the door in two steps with a very cheap smile on his face.
