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

Chapter 572 The Landlord's Silly Son

Chen Ming glanced down at his sister-in-law, then looked again at his thin, chick-like half-brother.

I thought to myself, "Why don't you listen to what you're saying?"

Jingzhe was exceptionally gifted, and she happened to meet an equally gifted stepmother, a capable superior, and three audacious teenagers.

Otherwise, a five-year-old is fine as long as he can play with cats and dogs, but what adult would dare to let him out to fight pirates?

Those were a bunch of completely inhuman bastards.

It's also due to the environment, coupled with the child's own spirit and the guidance of his aunt, that he has a bright future ahead of him.

Although their son Yu doesn't seem to have the potential right now, who knows what the future holds?

Even a general needs advisors; it's good that he has this kind of thinking.

He squatted down and hooked his arm around Yu-ge'er's neck, saying, "Then you'll have to practice your skills diligently with Master Wu from now on."

Yu-ge'er's eyes lit up even more, "Auntie, do you have a martial arts master here?"

Chen Ming looked proud and honored. "Of course, otherwise, was your cousin born with martial arts skills?"

Shu-jie and Yu-ge clapped and cheered in unison, "Great!"

As if she had thought of something, Shujie asked nervously, "Can Shujie learn it?"

“Sure!” Chen Ming nodded. “Everyone, regardless of age or gender, needs to learn this at my aunt’s place.”

Shujie was relieved, and her smile became even more genuine. She said that her father would definitely not think badly of her.

I don't know why my aunt felt that my father didn't want her anymore.

This village looks much more interesting than the city.

As the three siblings were talking, Nianhu suddenly called out, "Young Master, Miss, someone is coming."

Chen Ming looked up and saw several lights coming from the direction of the village.

The patrol team must have arrived, so he immediately stood up and waved in that direction.

Chen Ming had previously appeared in Linshui Village. As the son of the prefect, he was generous and had the air of a landlord's foolish son.

The children in the village all ate the candy he gave them.

During the family reunion banquet, he even scattered copper coins at the entrance of the Gu family's house.

So everyone still remembered him, and before he could reveal his family background, the patrolmen had already recognized him.

Chen Ming didn't delay and immediately explained his purpose and how Wu Qingfeng had forcibly borrowed his carriage.

The men on patrol suppressed their laughter and split up to help him carry his luggage.

In town, Lin Chang'er and her assistant just managed to reach Sister Gu's house.

Without knocking, the two climbed over the wall and entered. Only then did Lin Chang'er quietly call out "Sister-in-law Gu" a few times in the courtyard.

The door to the main room was opened, and Sister-in-law Gu ran out of the house, holding a pair of scissors in her hand.

"Chang'er, what brings you here?"

Lin Chang'er explained, "When I came back from the city, I saw flames shooting up here, so I came in to take a look. That's when I found out that the pirates have invaded. The fire ahead will soon reach us. It's not safe to hide in the house. You should come with us first."

Sister-in-law Gu responded, then remembered something, "Wait for me a moment."

Lin Chang'er grabbed her arm, "Sister-in-law Gu, money is just an external thing, survival is the most important thing."

Sister-in-law Gu looked troubled. "Chang'er, I know. I was thinking of taking some of the books from my uncle's room, even if I can't take them all."

Lin Chang'er frowned slightly, but couldn't bring herself to offer any words of advice.

In this era, how significant is the value of a child from a humble background who achieves success?

It's not that they are dumber or less intelligent than noble families, but rather that the resources they can enjoy are worlds apart.

The books available to the poor can no longer be described as scarce, and Sister-in-law Gu clearly understood this, which is why she valued her brother-in-law's books more than her own life.
