How could she give all that money to a bunch of b*stards?

The happiest person was none other than Dr. Shen. There were many medicinal herbs to be collected, so they did not even bother to brew them and directly sent them away in a carriage.

They didn’t know that because of the timely delivery of this batch of herbs, the soldiers injured at the border could be treated in time. In the end, they won and ultimately defeated West Chu.

In the Xiao family’s house, Mrs. Jiang’s face changed every day, and she even spoke to Gu Qingli more gently.

On the eighth day, it finally snowed heavily, covering all the herbs on the mountain in one night.

Although it was only eight short days, the villagers had never received so much money.

This year’s winter was not a problem. The villagers happily went to town to buy winter supplies, and there were no more days when they were bitter.

The village chief was so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling. He refused to accept the money Gu Qingli gave him.

Gu Qingli had to give up.

“Li ‘er, are you going to pick up father, mother, and the rest today?” Xiao Yunjing asked Gu Qingli after breakfast.

Gu Qingli looked at the snowy sky and nodded. “Go, go now. The ox-cart won’t be able to move if you go any later.”

“Alright, I’ll go get the carriage,” Xiao Yunjing said.

“Third brother’s wife, let your big brother and second brother go. You don’t have to go.” Mrs. Jiang heard their conversation and immediately came out to stop Gu Qingli. This woman had stayed in the snow for too long, and her body was frozen. It would be difficult for her to give birth in the future.

She felt uncomfortable looking at third brother’s wife’s delicate and weak body.

Gu Qingli said, “It’s so cold. I don’t think it’s a good idea to let big brother and the others go, mother.”

“You also know that it’s so cold. They’re men, so don’t be afraid.” Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at her.

“Sister-in-law, we’re going. You can stay at home and don’t follow us.” Boss Xiao said as he came out of the room.

“Alright, then.”

She would wait in the other room and heat the brick bed first.

There was no need to give money to doctor Shen, so there might be some left.

All the appliances in the house had been bought, so she didn’t have to go to pick them up.

When Xiao Yunjing led the ox-cart out, eldest Xiao and second Xiao followed him without any need to shout.

His actions deeply touched Gu Qingli.

There would be no harm without comparison!

After they left, Gu Qingli said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang and returned to her mother’s house with the twins.

The three siblings flicked the snow off their bodies and opened the door to enter.

The central room was spotless. The main room had a new square table and four long stools.

There was a small wooden table at the top with some small objects, and they could offer incense during the new year and other festivals.

There were two bamboo chairs on the east and west sides, the kind with backrests, and a stove next to the chairs on the east side.

The east and west rooms of the central room were the bedrooms, and the east side was Gu Dalin and his wife’s. The three siblings first went to the bedroom on the east side and started burning the brick bed on this side.

The brick bed in this room was built next to the south wall, and the quilt and mattress were all new. The cabinets, cages, small tables, and furniture in the room were all brought by Xiao Yunjing on an ox-cart after he went to town to sell herbs every day.

It had to be said that Xiao Yunjing was very careful.

For a big and rough man to have such a heart, it could be seen that he was a man who was harsh on the outside but careful on the inside.

He was very meticulous with her.

It made her heart, frozen for many years, melt a little.

The two brought in some firewood from outside, and the three started a fire to heat the brick bed.

The farmers were poor and couldn’t afford to buy charcoal, so they cut the firewood on the mountain and burned it themselves.

There was a smoke vent on the brick bed, and there weren’t many in the house, so the smoke wouldn’t reach the people in the place.

The two of them looked at the heated brick bed and smiled.

This winter, they finally didn’t have to starve or freeze. The two of them were close to her.

The three siblings sat on the warm brick bed and waited for Gu Dalin and the others to return.

“Sister, you’re the best.” Da Shuang’s head was in her arms as he muttered.

Gu Qingli rubbed their heads and kissed their hair. “Our Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang are also good.”

” Silly little brother, this is what you got in exchange for your kindness.”

The two of them looked up and smiled sweetly.

Gu Qingli looked at their bright eyes and said, “You guys should know that there’s no such thing as hatred or love in this world for no reason. If I’m good to you, it’s mutual.”

The two of them nodded. Although they didn’t quite understand what their sister said, they remembered it.

Gu Qingli only told them one thing: “1If you want others to be good to you, you have to be good to others.”

This was the fundamental principle of getting along with others; she hoped the two could understand it.

They had to understand the basics of the deeper level of reasoning first. Later, they would have to slowly figure it out on their own after entering school.

At the same time, she wanted to tell them that she was good to them and they were good to her. This was mutual.

She shouldn’t be the one giving all the time. One day, she wouldn’t feel good when she stopped giving or couldn’t afford to pay.

She wasn’t blood-related to the two of them, so no one could say what would happen in the future.

After all, everyone’s path was different.

After a while, Xiao Shuang said, “Sister, don’t worry. You will always be our sister, and we will always be your little brothers. We will never forget your kindness when we grow up. We will not be ungrateful wolves.”

“Hehe, our Xiao Shuang is a smart child. Sister believes in you. Let’s work hard together!” Gu Qingli laughed. This little thing was so bright that he could understand her.

“Sister, I won’t be an ungrateful person. My whole family won’t,” Da Shuang said belatedly.

“Hahaha ”

This time, Gu Qingli was amused by him. She pinched his face and kissed him hard on the cheek. “Sister is very assured, but we must lead by example.”

The two of them nodded.

At this moment, a sound came from outside. Da Shuang was the first to jump down. “Father and mother have returned.”

As he said that, he ran out.

Gu Qingli went out with Xiao Shuang.

Sure enough, they had returned. Xiao Yunjing was walking in front, carrying Gu Dalin.

Behind them were Mrs. Wu, boss Xiao, and second Xiao. They were all holding things in their hands, and the three siblings immediately went out to help pick them up.

“Mother, are you done?” Gu Qingli asked.

“There’s nothing else,” Mrs. Wu gasped for breath.

The group of people quickly entered the house. Boss Xiao and second boss Xiao left after putting down their things. The ox-cart was still at the intersection below.

After Xiao Yunjing put Gu Dalin on the brick bed, he came to see Gu Qingli. “Li ‘er is here, right? I’ll go back and bring the food over. You don’t have to cook for lunch.”

Gu Qingli nodded.

Xiao Yunjing turned and left the room.

“Li ‘er, we’re not that hungry. When we’re done, mother will cook,” Mrs. Wu said.

Gu Qingli tidied up the food. “Mother, it’s okay. Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang are still growing. They need food too.
