After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 20, Episode 0020: A Real-Life Case of Spoiling a Child
Lin Yuexi: "..."

Is this child's mother serious?
Is this a real-life example of someone harming their child?

"Have some porridge to calm your nerves first. What else did your mother say?"

The little girl had a strong desire to perform. She looked around, took two steps back, and then enthusiastically began to imitate the behavior. She did quite well, giving the impression of an adult wearing a child's clothes.

She clearly trusts her mother a lot, and her performances unconsciously reveal her admiration and respect for her mother.

Mom said: If her brother has something, she should have it too. If he doesn't, it means Dad doesn't earn enough. In that case, Dad can throw it away and get a new one.

Mom said: If your own grandparents are not nice to your dad, your dad can also be not nice to your own grandparents, but you can't let others know that your dad is not nice to your own grandparents.

Mom said: Dad is a fool, she is an idiot, my brother is a moron, and only Mom has a brain that works, so everyone in the family has to listen to her.

Mom said: You can't help bad people, even if they are family members, because if you help them, you will catch their badness and become a big bad guy yourself, and you will get shot.

Lin Yuexi spent the entire meal talking to her mother.

From what these mothers said, she once suspected that the little girl's mother might be like her, with some of her ideas being quite progressive despite some questionable values, completely contrary to the common submissive mindset of women in this era.

As soon as Lin Yuexi finished eating, Da Ni immediately took the empty bowl to wash it. Lin Yuexi didn't stop her, knowing that she was actively earning money for her future retirement.

Thinking about retirement money, after Da Ni put down the bowls and came out, she asked with a rather 'malicious' smile, "Didn't Da Ni go to school?"

How will you earn money if you go to school?

Da Ni, who had just calculated how much money she could save in a year, suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her bright smile froze on her face, and she seemed to have been put on a freeze-up.

Lin Yuexi almost burst out laughing in real life; the corners of her mouth were turned up like an AK and she couldn't suppress them.

On the contrary, Da Ni was almost in tears, "Sister Lin, I have to go to school next Wednesday."

My mother said: She's already stupid enough. If she doesn't go to school, she'll definitely be tricked by an old bachelor in the future.

There's an old bachelor in the Second Brigade who's filthy and smelly, and he often steals food from the kids. She doesn't want to be fooled by someone like that, so she definitely has to go to school.

Then you won't be able to make that money.

Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... she can only earn four yuan and fifty cents.

Four yuan and fifty cents was already a lot for Da Ni, but the problem was that she had just calculated how much money she could earn in a year. Fifty cents a day, 365 days, that's 182 yuan and fifty cents.

Compared to that, four yuan and fifty cents is very little.

Lin Yuexi was teasing her, but she never intended to actually make her cry. She stuffed the candy on the table into her pocket, took one out and put it in her mouth, and then rubbed her little head.

"Once you've filled this with knowledge, you'll earn much more money, not just five cents a day. But you can't tell anyone else what you and your sister said today, understand?"

"I know, Sister Lin. Mom said that if you say something wrong outside, you'll be locked in a dark room."

Hearing that the little girl's mother had given instructions, Lin Yuexi stopped bothering to teach her. She figured the mother must have a plan in mind to teach her child this way.

I know my own body best. I woke up today feeling the most relaxed I've ever been since I came into this world. I didn't have to force myself to swallow the second half of a bowl of millet porridge, even though it was still a bit difficult and I still felt like vomiting. But the situation was much better.

The Chen family's medical skills are truly remarkable!
Dani quickly calmed herself down, ran over and patted her shoulder, "Sister Lin, put your hand on my shoulder, I'll keep you company."

This time, Lin Yuexi didn't object. The little girl was about 1.2 meters tall, and it was just right for her to put her hand on her shoulder, like supporting herself with a cane, so it wouldn't tire the little girl out too much. Da Ni was still young and often talked about her mother, but she was very perceptive. She had already noticed that Lin Yuexi was moving slowly, so she deliberately walked slowly beside her as well.

This child has the potential to be nurtured well and will be able to accomplish great things in the future.

She has strong observation skills and is mature and sensible at a young age. She is also quite intelligent. Despite talking to her "mother" so much, she never asked a single question about her, not even the casual inquiry of a child.

Lin Yuexi helped Da Ni tour the new house, which was about 100 square meters and had a layout somewhat similar to a traditional courtyard house in Beijing.

There was a fairly large courtyard in front, with a 1.5-meter-wide flagstone path paved in the middle. The left and right sides near the gate were divided, probably for planting things. The side closer to the house had a 2-meter-wide passageway paved with flagstones.

Behind her was a main hall with two rooms on each side. On the left side of the courtyard was a kitchen and a woodshed. Not far from the kitchen door was a well with a triangular roof. On the right side of the courtyard was a room and a storage room.

There's a small backyard behind it, where the land has been turned over and piled up in rows, and I don't know what's planted there; there's a small hut built against the wall on one side, which Da Ni says is the toilet.

No wonder Uncle Liu said last night that the other toilet here was inconvenient.

Da Ni said that most houses in their village are like this: if there are many people, there are a few rooms; if there are few people, there are no rooms on the left or right. The ground is heated by underfloor heating, and the houses where people live have firewalls. So no matter how cold it is outside in winter, it is not cold when you stay at home. This is how people hibernate.

Lin Yuexi was so tired from walking around the house that she was sweating profusely. Da Ni, who had obviously been instructed beforehand, saw the sweat on Lin Yuexi's forehead and immediately ran to the main room to bring over a wheelchair.

"Sister Lin, please have a seat."

"Okay, can I take my sister outside for a walk?"

Although she was tired, she felt pretty good and wanted to see what the legendary harvest season was like.

We've never met in either our past or present lives.

The young girl, desperate to save money for her retirement, responded to every request.

After Lin Yuexi was seated, the little girl pushed her out.

Leng Xingran must have known beforehand that she was going to the countryside in a wheelchair. The ground was paved with smooth stone slabs, and there was no threshold at the gate.

The two went out the gate, and Da Ni stopped her wheelchair first and turned around to lock the gate.

“Leng Zhiqing left the key with me this morning. We must lock it when we go out. There are a few hooligans from the Fourth Brigade who always come here to steal things during the harvest season.”

Judging from the disgusted tone in Da Ni's voice when she mentioned the Fourth Brigade, it's clear that the Fourth Brigade is not well-liked by the First Brigade.

After locking the door, Da Ni didn't immediately push Lin Yuexi away. Instead, she ran up to Lin Yuexi and introduced herself very solemnly, "Sister Lin, my name is Li Fanqing. You can call me Qingqing."

Lin Yuexi smiled and patted her head. Did the little girl think her nickname was too rustic?

However, she soon realized she had misunderstood.

A minute later, a little girl carrying a basket passed by; her name was Da Ni.
Three minutes later, two girls passed by carrying baskets on their backs; one of them was named Da Ni.

Five minutes later, Da Ni arrived.

I understand. If you call out "Da Ni" in this village, a dozen or so girls might rush out.
