Chapter 6: Let's see how long she can keep up the act.
Lu Qingqing brought the prepared food to the table in the main room.
At this moment, Lin Qingshan, Qin Xiulian, Liu Cuihua, and the second son's family also gathered around.
As soon as Liu Cuihua sat down, she said sarcastically, "Is this all the food you have?"
"No wonder you can't even get enough to eat, Lu Qingqing. You can't even cook properly, I really don't know what else you can do."
Lu Qingqing glanced at her, but didn't say anything, and just kept distributing food to the children.
Seeing that Lu Qingqing ignored her, Liu Cuihua became even more emboldened.
Turning to Qin Xiulian, he said, "Mother, look..."
"This situation is all Lu Qingqing's fault."
Qin Xiulian's face darkened, and she was about to speak.
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, stop stirring things up."
"The food shortage at home isn't solely my responsibility."
Liu Cuihua jumped up, pointed at Lu Qingqing and said, "You dare to talk back!"
"Do you even have the right to speak in this house?"
Lu Qingqing was not to be outdone: "Sister-in-law,"
Act with a clear conscience; don't always shift the blame onto others.
Seeing Lu Qingqing's firm stance, Liu Cuihua grabbed Qin Xiulian's arm.
She said in a coquettish tone, "Mother, look at her, she's gone too far."
We can't let her be so arrogant; let them eat separately.
"Let's not give them food, let's see how long they can keep up their stubbornness."
Qin Xiulian hesitated for a moment, then felt that Liu Cuihua's words seemed to make sense.
He then said, "Then let's eat separately. Lu Qingqing, you two figure out how to get the food yourselves."
Lu Qingqing looked at Qin Xiulian and Liu Cuihua, her heart filled with anger and resentment.
But she still gritted her teeth and said, "If we're going to break up, then we're going to break up."
We can survive even without your food.
After saying that, she led the children out of the main room.
Lin Qingshan had just returned from his busy day when he heard this absurd story.
He looked at Liu Cuihua and Qin Xiulian with a gloomy expression.
"What are you all doing?" Lin Qingshan asked loudly.
Liu Cuihua and Qin Xiulian were startled into silence by his sudden shout.
Lin Qingshan slammed his fist on the table in anger.
He glared at Liu Cuihua and said, "Eldest sister, you're really being ridiculous!"
He's just stirring things up! The third brother is practically a living dead man lying in bed now.
Where are you expecting these orphans and widows to get food?
Liu Cuihua pouted and said softly, "I'm just thinking about the family."
Lin Qingshan glared at her, "Thinking of the family? You're going to break this family up!"
He then looked at Qin Xiulian and scolded, "And you too,"
The old woman also joined in the commotion.
"If they really have separated, what will become of the Lin family's reputation?"
Qin Xiulian lowered her head, not daring to look Lin Qingshan in the eye.
Lin Qingshan sighed and said, "Stop making a scene."
Call them back right away. What can't a family overcome?
"Alright, pack me some food, I'll take it to them, and check on San'er while I'm at it."
Qin Xiulian and Liu Cuihua were scolded by Lin Qingshan.
Their faces turned pale and then flushed.
Although Liu Cuihua was unwilling, she dared not say anything more.
Qin Xiulian quickly found a food box and hurriedly packed some food into it.
Lin Qingshan glared at them and said irritably, "You're only packing so little."
"What kind of talk is this!" he said, taking two more flatbreads from the pot and adding them to the food box.
Carrying the food box, Lin Qingshan walked towards Lu Qingqing and the children's residence.
Along the way, he felt a little uneasy, thinking about how things had turned out at home.
As the head of the household, I also bear some responsibility. To put it bluntly, it's all because of poverty.
Upon reaching the door, Lin Qingshan gently knocked and said, "Qingqing, it's Dad. Open the door."
Lu Qingqing was a little surprised when she heard the sound, but she still opened the door.
She was taken aback when she saw Lin Qingshan standing at the door with a food box in his hand.
The original owner of this body had no memories of her father-in-law.
Perhaps it was because the original Lu Qingqing had never been respected by Lin Qingshan.
Lin Qingshan smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Qingqing,
Don't take it to heart by arguing with your mother and sister-in-law. Dad brought you some food.
While you're at it, check on how San'er is doing.
Lu Qingqing took the food box and gave what she thought was a polite smile.
He said, "Father, thank you, please come in."
Lin Qingshan walked into the house and looked at the pitiful eyes of the children.
Feeling even more guilty, he said, "It's all my fault, Father."
"The child also suffered because of this."
As he spoke, Lin Qingshan walked straight to Lin Yunlan's bedside.
Seeing my most promising child looking like he'd died, I felt incredibly sad.
Lin Qingshan glanced at Lin Yunlan and then hurriedly left.
The children looked at the food laid out on the table, and although they were very hungry,
But without Lu Qingqing's permission, they dared not move.
Lu Qingqing pushed the porridge and flatbread in front of them, urging them to eat quickly.
As a result, the children wolfed down the thin porridge.
Lu Qingqing looked at them and secretly made up her mind.
Make sure these children are well-fed and clothed.
She sighed softly and walked to the bedside to check on the man's condition.
Only then did I get a clear look at the man lying on the bed; he had a handsome face.
With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight nose, even though he was pale and haggard at this moment...
Her outstanding temperament is also undeniable.
His skin wasn't as rough and dark as that of a countryman who had toiled for a long time.
Instead, it has a delicate sheen.
A sense of doubt arose in Lu Qingqing's heart.
He doesn't look like a country bumpkin at all.
He seemed to possess an innate air of nobility that clashed with the simple farmhouse.
Lu Qingqing shook her head, thinking that perhaps she was overthinking things.
She reached out and placed her hand on the man's pulse, her expression focused and solemn.
After a while, she lifted his eyelids again to check.
Then they examined the rest of his body.
After examining the area, Lu Qingqing frowned even more deeply.
She had already concluded in her mind that the pulse was erratic and the body's various reactions were abnormal.
It appears that the nervous system has suffered severe damage.
To cure him, medications such as those that repair nerves are needed.
If only her medical equipment were here, she could have a thorough examination.
Suddenly, the familiar system voice appeared in her mind again.
"Host, I am your system Xiaodou. Would you like me to retrieve your medical equipment?"
Lu Qingqing was pleasantly surprised to suddenly hear the system Xiaodou's voice.
She moved to an inconspicuous corner.
Lu Qingqing asked the system in a low voice, "Xiaodou, did my lab come with me?"
Then the system's voice rang out again: "Yes, host."
The system has provided you with your laboratory information.
Everything here depends on your hard work, Host.
Upon hearing System Xiaodou's reply, Lu Qingqing thought, "That's wonderful!"
As long as the lab exists, that's enough, even if we're penniless right now.
She was confident she could make a good life for herself, but now that the children were all here...
It's inconvenient to examine the living dead man, but judging from his condition...
I'm pretty sure I've figured it out. I'll give him another full checkup when we're alone.
Once Lu Qingqing had made a plan, she was no longer worried.
She walked up to the children, only to find that there were not many pancakes to begin with.
It's still sealed and lying there.
Lu Qingqing asked the children in confusion, "Weren't you hungry? Why aren't you eating the pancakes?"
Shuang'er said with a wronged expression, "Mother said before..."
"If there's anything good to eat, Mom has to eat first. Shuang'er and the other kids can only have porridge."
Lu Qingqing remembered that the original owner of this body had indeed said such a thing.
Previously, the original owner of this body even beat several children because she herself was not getting enough to eat.
Lu Qingqing quickly divided the pancakes among the children.
She said with heartache, "Shuang'er, Shitou, Ermao, Sanmao..."
Mother made a mistake before, but she will change from now on.
Mother promises you, I will treat you well from now on.
The pancakes will get cold if you don't eat them soon, my sweet babies, hurry up and eat!
Lu Qingqing fed Shuang'er the cake, and Shuang'er happily took a bite.
Smiling, she said, "Thank you, Mother. I love you as you are now."
Er Mao and San Mao looked at the stone, and Er Mao said, "Big Brother,"
I feel she's really changed. Let's eat too.
Stone replied, "Let's eat first and see how long she can keep up the act."
As they spoke, the three brothers picked up their pancakes and began to eat. Lu Qingqing overheard their conversation.
I didn't pay much attention, just thinking to myself: Wow, this little guy is quite wary.
