Chapter 290 Not biological

Shen Qingqian didn't care who went with her, she even preferred Ling Yun to accompany her, because Sheng Ze had a sharp gaze and she didn't dare to make small moves under his nose.

The two got up early, and before Shen Qingqian went out, someone came to the door.

Old Mrs. Chen handed Shen Qingqian a small cloth bag, "Miss Six, this is the gold armband that I haven't exchanged yet. Please help me take it to the city and exchange it for silver."

"Grandma Chen, isn't this bad? I don't know the value of this thing. What if I change it for less..." Shen Qingqian hesitated.

Old Mrs. Chen waved her hand, "It's okay. Chen Er and his friends have been to my house before. We know the current situation. You can take whatever you can exchange for it."

"This..." Shen Qingqian hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Okay."

Old Mrs. Liu always followed Mrs. Chen. Shen Qingqian agreed to one, so naturally it was difficult to refuse the second.

So, before setting off, she collected a lot of things inexplicably.

Originally, each family still saved these things for emergencies, but now they have integrated resources. In order to build a decent house for each family, everyone took out the things they had hidden in exchange for money.

But they all had tasks, and their work efficiency was not as good as that of Sheng Ze and Ling Yun. They couldn't leave, so they had to ask Shen Qingqian for help.

Speaking of this, I have to mention one thing.

When integrating food from various families before, Wu settled the accounts.

Adding up all the food they eat now, they can maintain three meals a day during the month of building the house, and only eat two meals a day during the rest of the time, and if the amount of food is reduced by half, they can survive until March next year.

They are all living people. Even if the fields don't produce much in winter, they won't just sit at home and wait for pie to fall from the sky. They will definitely try their best to get something to eat.

For example, someone saw Shen Qingqian planting vegetables before. They also tried to get vegetable seeds and planted a crop.

When Shen Qingqian saw it, he diluted the remaining accelerated fertilizer diluent and used it on these people's fields.

That's all she can do, the rest depends on God's will.

Ling Yun drove the mule cart and took Shen Qingqian into the city.

The two of them chatted about each other on the road, and somehow they ended up talking about Shengze.

"Miss Six, I want to tell you a secret." Ling Yun lowered his voice.

Shen Qingqian suddenly became energetic and leaned over to ask softly, "What's the secret?"

"My third brother is not the biological child of my parents." Ling Yun said mysteriously.

Shen Qingqian: "..." Brother, is it really okay for you to tell me this kind of thing?

Ling Yun ignored her reaction and continued.

"When the third brother was five years old, we were sent to the mountains by our parents to learn skills. We went home very rarely in more than ten years... In fact, the third brother is a very emotional person, but we have no family ties..."

In Ling Yun's narration, Shen Qingqian saw Shengze as a poor child who lost his parents when he was young and was sent to the mountains and forests by his adoptive parents to learn his skills.

To be honest, she usually didn't notice it at all.

But this also explains the confusion that Cheng Yun and Cheng San look nothing alike.

Also, the name Cheng San... is a bit too casual.

"...So Miss Six, do you think we should be nicer to my third brother?" After Ling Yun finished his half-truth and half-false remarks, he asked Shen Qingqian a question.

"Ah?" Shen Qingqian couldn't react, "Haha, I should be nicer to him."

No, wouldn't it be good for him to have you as his younger brother? Why are you still asking her, an outsider?
