Chapter 13 teaches the little idiot to deceive the system.
Chicken eggs and duck eggs are both good things, but it's definitely not enough to eat so many sea duck eggs all by myself. Besides, a good portion of them are soaked in water and won't keep well. It would be best to sell them for some money.
The Gu family wasn't stupid, so they naturally had no objection to Lin Chang'er's suggestion. Before she could even speak, the whole family quickly squatted down beside the bamboo basket and started cleaning the duck eggs with Gu Dalang and Gu Erlang.
Even Gu Xiaoman was being looked after by her older siblings, her little hands diligently cleaning the mud off the duck eggs with a loofah.
Lin Chang'er originally wanted to lead them to a good life, not to let them live off the labor of others like lazy fish or ornaments.
Originally, the eggs were to be sorted by size, but because there were children and a pregnant woman, after cleaning the salted duck eggs, people were urged to go back and rest.
Money can never be earned enough, and work can never be finished; there's no need to rush.
Lin Chang'er spent her day fighting and bickering, then outwitting and outmaneuvering Xiao Potong, and then busy for most of the night.
After a quick wash, my eyelids were already drooping.
Fortunately, Little Goldfish sleeps in the same room as Gu Silang, while Gu Xiaolu sleeps with Gu's mother, so neither of them needs her care.
As soon as Lin Chang'er returned to her room, she lay down, her eyelids sticking shut as if glued on.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, a familiar "ding" sound suddenly rang in her mind.
Lin Chang'er was extremely sleepy at the moment, but her heart was filled with restlessness. [May I be struck by lightning for disturbing your peaceful sleep!]
The next instant, her consciousness seemed to be materialized, and a small "white" cat appeared before Lin Chang'er's eyes.
Its ears drooped, its whole body looked like it had rolled in coal dust, pitch black, and it stared at her with wide, bright eyes, whimpering.
The arrogant little brat suddenly started acting cute, and Lin Chang'er's body stiffened, her sleepiness instantly vanishing. "What's wrong? Staying up so late, going to the coal mine?"
The little white cat lowered its head. [They were fighting, just finished.]
Lin Chang'er was amused. "Who are you fighting with?" she asked, puzzled.
Little White Cat: [Spiritual Spring Space, Exchange Shop, Department Store...]
Lin Chang'er paused, unable to figure out how they fought.
But that didn't stop her from mocking the little idiot, asking, "One-on-one or a group fight?"
The little white kitten burst into tears, crying out, "They ganged up on me!"
Although Lin Chang'er had never owned a cat before, seeing it wiping away tears with its paw, she stopped mocking it and simply asked, "Why are you hitting it?"
The little white cat looked at her resentfully, "Didn't you say you wanted these systems?"
Lin Chang'er: [?]
Little White Cat: [If I win, they'll have to listen to me.]
Lin Chang'er thought to herself, "Tsk tsk, is the world of the system also a dog-eat-dog world?"
But, [don't you know your own limitations? Why don't you go and call them one by one?] Why insist on going together and getting yourself into trouble?
The little white kitten lowered its head even further; [They were all in one bucket.]
Lin Chang'er pouted, "So what if I can't beat them? It's not shameful to keep quiet."
The little white cat stared in disbelief. [The host has no conscience.]
"Can conscience help alleviate poverty?" Lin Chang'er said confidently.
The little white kitten cried out again, louder than ten Gu Xiaomans combined, "[I don't want to go into the trash can...] I have a dream."
Lin Chang'er: [What's the deal with the trash can?] Could it be what she's thinking? A bunch of useless systems being recycled together?
The little white cat suddenly covered its mouth, its glassy eyes darting around, giving off an "I won't say anything, I won't say anything" expression.
Lin Chang'er didn't press the matter. "Then I'm going to sleep. Do as you please."
The little white cat then reluctantly said, "It's not just you humans who have to work for a living; our system also has performance evaluations, you know!"
Moreover, not every time a host is bound, the task can be completed. If the task fails, the system will be downgraded during the evaluation. If the failure is accumulated to a certain number, the system will be rated as a garbage system and thrown into the trash can.
This is my last chance; otherwise, the system will be deemed garbage.
Lin Chang'er: "..." Is my mouth blessed?
She asked, "So what do you want?"
The little white cat looked up at her with its wet eyes.
Lin Chang'er retorted without any politeness: "You think I'm useless? I'm carrying nine people, and soon I'll be carrying ten. I only have 200 copper coins on me. How many days do you think I can last?"
The little white cat said listlessly, "Then I'll go fight them again tomorrow." Clenching its paws, it thought, "Yes, as long as I don't give up, I'll win someday."
[If we can't beat them today, we still can't beat them tomorrow.] It was a little hard to bear, but Lin Chang'er felt that whether it was a person or a system, they had to face reality.
The little white kitten pouted, looking like it was about to cry again.
"Stop!" Lin Chang'er shouted to stop it.
It doesn't seem very smart, but it seems to be working very hard. I gave it some advice: [In finance, besides acquisitions and mergers, there are also strategic partnerships; it's not about necessarily bankrupting someone.]
The little white cat looked bewildered. Lin Chang'er sighed. "If you can't beat them, you can negotiate! It's a win-win situation! Aren't your systems best at manipulating workers to complete tasks? Offer them some benefits, tell them that even a trash system should be a useful trash system, the king of trash systems."
The little white kitten, still somewhat bewildered, said, "I'll try it tomorrow."
Lin Chang'er was exhausted. She waved her hand and said, "Wash your fur coat clean before you go."
system:"……"
To sell duck eggs, one must arrive at the early market. Before the moon had even set, Lin Chang'er got up again to sort the duck eggs.
The dozens of duck eggs were divided into three categories: large, medium, and small. Lin Chang'er then switched to a small bamboo basket and used two other baskets to pack them up.
The Gu family members also got up one after another. Lin Chang'er took the duck eggs and handed them to Gu's sister-in-law, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."
Each person can have one boiled duck egg. Please keep an eye on Little Goldfish and Gu Xiaolu for me.
After breakfast, take Silang to collect the fish traps. I left two salted duck eggs in the main room; we'll take them with us when we deliver the fish to Aunt Zhou later.
Sister-in-law Gu declined, saying, "Duck eggs are not eaten like this. My brother and I won't eat them. You take them to sell." Two duck eggs cost eight coins!
Lin Chang'er said sternly, "We're all family, why can't you and your older brother eat? How can you work if you don't eat your fill?"
Sister-in-law Gu lowered her head shyly, and Lin Chang'er said again, "Don't worry, just cook it. If Mother asks, just say it was my idea."
Without further ado, they went back to the main room, grabbed the duck eggs, and set off.
Linshui Village is less than three kilometers away from Linyuan Town. Unless it's the big market day on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month, when oxcarts from neighboring villages will take a detour to pick up people, people usually have to walk to get to town.
Lin Chang'er's current body is weak, but Sister-in-law Gu obviously can't leave because she has to take care of the whole family, and Gu Silang is still a young boy.
It wasn't appropriate for her two older brothers, Gu Dalang and Gu Erlang, to go together, so she had to set off early.
We traveled on and off, but didn't waste any time.
When I arrived at the dock market, I found an empty spot and was about to set up my stall.
Before I could even put the goods down, a shouting voice came from behind me, "This is my family's stall, who gave you permission to set up here?"
Lin Chang'er turned around and saw a middle-aged woman carrying a large basket of scallions. She had long, narrow eyelashes and sunken cheeks, and looked like she was not someone to be trifled with.
The woman met her gaze and glared at her fiercely. "What are you looking at? Get lost, you're bad luck!"
