I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Of course I'm not a thing, I'm a person. And you, Miss Qiao, are a thing."

"You, you actually scolded me." Qiao Wan'er never expected that a wild girl from a remote village would dare to scold her.

"What's wrong with scolding you? Aren't you asking for it by being so mean? Do you think you are some rich girl? I give you food and shelter but you are still picky. If you have the ability, go out and live by yourself, don't live here. As for your brother Xiaoqing, he is a grown man, he eats my food and lives my house, so what's wrong with me assigning him to do some work? He didn't say anything and you are complaining about it. What, is he your man? Why do you love him so much?"

Qiao Linxi said a lot of things, leaving Qiao Wan'er unable to refute.

"I am the granddaughter of the current Crown Prince's tutor. If you dare to treat me like this, I will make my grandfather teach you a lesson."

Qiao Linxi laughed: "Come on, you tell your parents when you get scolded, you think you are a three-year-old child. And you are the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, don't you know it even if others don't know it? You..."

"Qiao Wan'er!"

Qin Xiaoqing appeared in time and interrupted Qiao Linxi's words. He frowned and looked at Qiao Wan'er: "Don't be rude to Miss Qiao."

"Miss Qiao, we are fine. Boss Qiao is kind enough to take us in. We should do what we can."

There was still blood on Fang Yuting's clothes. Maybe she had seen through it. She had a smile on her face that came from the bottom of her heart, and she seemed very relaxed.

"Take him in? That means you are homeless. We are different. I am the granddaughter of the current Crown Prince's tutor. My brother Xiaoqing is the son of a big family in the capital. There is a world of difference between us and you country girls from a remote and poor village."

"Qiao Wan'er, if you continue like this, then go back to the capital."

Seeing that Qin Xiaoqing was angry, Qiao Wan'er pulled Qin Xiaoqing's hand: "Brother Xiaoqing, why do you always protect this Qiao Linxi? Do you like her?"

Qiao Wan'er was making a scene on the other side, but Qiao Linxi ignored her and went about doing his own thing.

Qin Xiaoqing felt a pang in his heart when he saw Qiao Linxi's contemptuous smile towards Qiao Wan'er. He looked at Qiao Linxi's beautiful eyes and felt that she could see through everything, including Qiao Wan'er's life experience.

Her contemptuous smile just now seemed to say that she had seen through Qiao Wan'er.

The more Qin Xiaoqing thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. When the man came to cause trouble yesterday, he did not leave any letters. On the other hand, since it was an ambiguous letter written by Liu Lanjun to Zhou An, it must be hidden well. How could it be in Qiao Linxi's hands?

But the handwriting was indeed Liu Lanjun's, so where did Qiao Linxi get this letter?

"Xiaoqing?" A puzzled voice made Qin Xiaoqing turn around, and he saw Qin Guozong walking towards him on the street in plain clothes.

"Father," Qin Xiaoqing was delighted and went to greet him. "It's really you."

Looking at his father, who was dressed simply and had dark skin, Qin Xiaoqing felt a lump in his throat: "Father, you have suffered."

Qin Guozong was sent to this border area, and the hardship he endured can be imagined. Now look at Qin Guozong, he is no longer the same as he was in the capital.

In the past, Qin Guozong was an important official in the court, playing a pivotal role in the court and was highly sought after in the capital. But after coming here, he was promoted on the surface, but in fact he was demoted. Now, he is no different from an ordinary citizen.

"How did you come?"

Qin Guozong patted the dirt off his body. He had been busy with farmland recently. Now that Lanqing City had water, he wanted to find a way to divert the water to other places. The book that Qiao Linxi gave him really helped a lot. There were places where water could not go, and the book also recorded in detail how to pump water.

Qin Xiaoqing felt very uncomfortable watching the appearance of a high-ranking official change from this, "How can I stay in the capital with peace of mind when my father is in trouble?"

"You are here, your mother and the others..."

Qin Xiaoqing said: "Don't worry, father. Everything is fine at home. Grandfather and my brothers are not affected. Mother is also in good health."

Qin Guozong patted Qin Xiaoqing on the shoulder without saying anything. There are many times when there is no need for much talk between men.

"Oh, Master Qin is back. Go wash your hands and have dinner. The meal is just ready."

Qiao Linxi's snack bar doesn't do much business, but there are so many people living there. There are almost ten people in Qin Xiaoqing's group, and with her own brothers and sisters, there are more than twenty people in total.

Looking at the tables of people, Qiao Linxi sighed, "It's really good to eat when there are more people." How much food would be consumed for a meal for these twenty or so people?

Looking at Qin Xiaoqing and others who had just moved into the snack bar, Qiao Linxi told them that the first thing they did every day after getting up was to perform a thanksgiving ceremony.

After all, gratitude is what saves your life.

"Qiao Linxi, you are so hypocritical. You said you let us live here, but now you ask us to do a thank you ceremony every day. It's disgusting that you force people to thank you."

"Miss Qiao, these are the rules of my Qiaoji Snack Shop. Since you are unwilling to abide by them, please pack up and leave. My snack shop is too small to accommodate a rich lady like you."

Qiao Linxi is not Guanyin Bodhisattva. Since she let Qin Xiaoqing and others stay, it was naturally for gratitude. Although she can live a self-sufficient life now, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen in the future, and no one can guarantee that life will always be smooth sailing.

"Boss Qiao is right. We should all be grateful." Fang Yuting didn't have any opinions now. She just knew that Qiao Linxi's words were like a light shining on her. She just obeyed Qiao Linxi's words.

"No matter what you do, I can never thank such a hypocritical villain."

Qiao Wan'er didn't like anything about Qiao Linxi. She wanted to say something to Qiao Linxi no matter what he said.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't follow my rules, then I don't have to take you seriously."

Qiao Linxi looked at the rice in the bowl and said, "Since Miss Qiao disdains to eat and live with us, I'm sorry, but the food here is also very expensive. I don't want to feed it to those who always like to argue with me."

As she said this, Qiao Linxi really took the rice away from Qiao Wan'er. She knew that her behavior was really wrong, but she just wanted to do it.

Who is she, Qiao Wan'er? She comes here to act like a young lady. Qiao Linxi doesn't like to see her like that and wants to do things according to her own wishes.

“You…” Qiao Wan’er’s eyes turned red with anger when her bowl was taken away by Qiao Linxi. She looked at Qiao Linxi viciously and said, “Just wait, I’ll write a letter to my grandfather and ask him…”

"Miss Qiao..." Qin Guozong didn't want to care about their nonsense, but when he heard Qiao Wan'er say that she wanted to find Master Qiao to support her, he felt a pang in his heart for some reason.
