Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 310 We discussed it privately and wanted you to raise Raindrops.

Lin Chang'er noticed immediately, paused for a moment, and quickly explained, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"Although the styles are outdated, the items are all of good quality, and they weren't cheap to dig out from the bottom of the box!"

"I thought you brothers do a lot of walking around on weekdays, so I chose this for you. We'll definitely have to buy new ones for the holidays."

"Once Chen Zhao and Master Chen have finalized the shoe contract, I will give you the contract. You and your brothers can then come to town and choose whatever you like."

In fact, in her later years, Lin Chang'er also adhered to the principle of giving only expensive gifts, regardless of their practicality, prioritizing prestige.

But after arriving here and experiencing firsthand the hardships of people's lives, she changed her mindset. She realized that giving gifts should be practical and that empty gestures were not applicable, at least not to the people she was interacting with now.

Of course, spiritual encouragement is still necessary, so she will take the children to the city and promises to treat Aunt Zhou and the others to a meal in the provincial capital in the future. This is another kind of spiritual encouragement.

Liu Zi raised his arm to wipe the corner of his eye, and said with a tearful laugh, "How could that be? I like it very much, and the brothers will definitely like it too."

Lin Chang'er laughed and patted her chest. "Then why are you crying? I thought I had offended you in some way."

She was afraid he would overthink it and feel that she looked down on them by buying them outdated shoes.

Liu Zi laughed too, "Miss, you're joking. I am one of them. We are either orphans, or our families couldn't support us anymore, or we were born into families."

"We were lucky enough to be chosen by Third Master to come out of the capital with him. Third Master was kind and never treated us harshly."

"Third Master is a good master, but Miss is different from Third Master. Miss treats us as family."

Only family members would buy shoes for each other. This is different from the feeling of receiving new clothes and shoes every quarter in a large, hierarchical family in the past.

It was just a cold, lifeless object, but the girl had put her heart into it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'er understood; it was probably what later generations referred to as emotional value.

After all, she was someone who had received education in the modern world about equality for all. When Wu Qingfeng gave her people, she never felt that they were inferior to her.

Who doesn't yearn for freedom and respect? Especially people like Liu Zi, who were raised from childhood by their families to be like assassins, fighting their way out of the fray.

Lin Chang'er laughed heartily, "You all do your best for the family, and you risk your lives to protect us when there is danger. Apart from not being related by blood, you are no different from family."

After pausing for a moment, he said, "Actually, I have no blood relation with my family at all, you know that, right?"

"Yan Qing, he's also a natural-born child. Little Goldfish and Little Deer weren't born to me either."

"But I find it quite amazing. It's like waking up one morning and having both a son and a daughter, without having suffered much, and experiencing the joy of finding a big piece of gold on the street. Do you understand?"

Liu Zi laughed along. Although he didn't know what it would feel like to wake up with both a son and a daughter, he could imagine the joy of finding a big piece of gold on the street.

The two people on the carriage shaft chatted and laughed, while the little ones in the carriage were just like they were on the way there.

At first, some people were chatting and singing, but after the car had traveled more than ten miles, they gradually quieted down.

Lin Chang'er quietly lifted the carriage curtain to look, and saw that the little ones were sleeping haphazardly like little piglets.

As she closed the curtain, she turned her head and was met with a dim, yellowish light.

It was a perfect time of evening; the sunlight felt warm on my skin, no longer scorching, and a cool breeze gently caressed my face—it was very comfortable.

The train carriage was heavy, carrying the future of Linshui Village.

She was getting more and more used to life in this era, but then she suddenly remembered that the unreliable system hadn't been online for a long time.

If the space and weather forecast hadn't worked properly, she would have almost thought it was a scam.

So you see!

You should never agree to something that involves getting something for nothing.

Fortunately, she managed to acquire two things that weren't exactly cheat codes, but were still somewhat useful.

Lin Chang'er was secretly delighted.

As the horse-drawn carriage and donkey cart drove into the village, smoke was already rising from the village chimneys.

The area under the large camphor tree was already filled with people waiting.

As soon as the horse-drawn carriage passed by, the uncles, paternal uncles, and paternal grandparents who were waiting to pick up the villagers gathered around.

Lin Chang'er lifted the curtain and woke up the sleepy little ones.

The little ones perked up considerably upon seeing their relatives, calling out to them as they were carried or helped off the bus, and then began to recount their experiences in the city.

The adults then thanked Lin Chang'er one after another.

Zhou Mu squeezed through the crowd with a smile on his face, "Third sister-in-law, thank you so much for taking care of Xiao Bao today."

Lin Chang'er laughed and replied, "No, that's not true. Xiao Bao is very obedient. With Li Ge'er watching over him, he knows to follow his older brothers and sisters. He's very well-behaved!"

Seeing his empty hands, I thought of something, "Xiao Bao and Little Goldfish are sitting in the car behind."

He jumped out of the car and led Zhou Mu over, just in time to see Zhou Yi being led out of the carriage by Zhou Li.

Upon seeing his father, the little guy jumped and skipped, "Daddy, Daddy, Xiaobao is here, Xiaobao is here..."

Suddenly he cried out urgently, "Daddy, Daddy, Xiaobao needs to pee, Xiaobao needs to pee, Xiaobao can't hold it in anymore..."

Zhou Mu ran over in a few quick steps, picked up his son, and ran to the roadside.

Lin Chang'er was already used to seeing young children, especially boys, fertilizing the roadside.

A little while later, Zhou Yi came skipping back, led by his father. As he walked, the little guy said, "Auntie bought me candied hawthorns. They're sweet and sour, and so delicious."

"There are also clay figures. Xiao Bao's is a puppy, his sister's is a rabbit, Xiao Man's brother's is a monkey, and Xiao Jin Yu's brother's is a dragon."

"Auntie also took Xiaobao to a restaurant and they ate a big duck dinner. And what's more, she bought Xiaobao shoes too! Auntie said he can wear them anytime! Xiaobao will have new shoes to wear tomorrow!"

Zhou Mu listened carefully, and when he got to Lin Chang'er, he said embarrassedly, "Third sister-in-law, this is too much of a waste. We won't talk about the food and drinks, but the money for the shoes must be deducted from my wages later."

Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "These are for the children, they have nothing to do with you adults."

Looking at Zhou Yi, she said, "Let's go, Xiao Bao. Auntie will take you home."

Zhou Yi then pulled his hand away and ran towards Lin Chang'er, "Yay, let's ride home in Auntie's car!"

At night, the Gu family courtyard was bustling with people coming and going.

During the day, the parents of the little ones who came to the city came in waves to express their gratitude.

Aside from shoes and food, being able to take children to the city to broaden their horizons is an extremely rare opportunity.

After all, many people may never go to the city in their entire lives.

Of course, not everyone came empty-handed; some brought home-grown vegetables, others brought potatoes or taro.

He Dashan is a hunter who now spends most of his time with the coastal defense team, but that doesn’t stop him from setting traps in the mountains to catch prey in his spare time.

We caught a muntjac today. We brought it back from the mountain in the evening and brought it over after dinner.

Lin Chang'er confiscated everything, but He Dashan was quite stubborn. He insisted that his family had two children, which made them different from other families. As soon as he put the things down, he left immediately, as if he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would ask for a refund.

Lin Chang'er found it amusing, and thought that tomorrow was the delivery day, so she would take the muntjac to the city to sell to a wild game shop and give him the money. After moving to Linshui Village, Aunt He's condition had indeed improved a lot, but she had to take medicine almost all the time, which would also help supplement her household income.

Finally, the courtyard quieted down, and Aunt Gu found Lin Chang'er, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

Lin Chang'er hurriedly asked, "Mother, is there something you need?"

Aunt Gu hesitated, "There's something I don't know. How so? Let me tell you."

Lin Chang'er pulled Aunt Gu down to sit, "We're family, what can't we talk about?"

Aunt Gu looked at her, then lowered her eyes and said, "It's about Yudian'er. We discussed it privately and thought we'd like you to raise her..."
