42 Chapter 42 Explanation
“It’s fine, uncle. I’ve already eaten before coming. You guys should hurry and eat your dinner.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he cupped his hands in a salute and turned to leave.
Seeing this, the clan leader accompanied him out of the house and turned to Mrs. Wang, “Keep and remember to store the fish well. Don’t let the wild cat get it.”
“I know. This child sure has changed. If he didn’t look exactly the same, I would have thought that he was a different person.”
“I heard that he passed the elementary scholar’s test last year, which shows that he’s not stupid.
“His strange personality from before must have been from being unable to take the series of blows to his life and having his mind in a dark place.

“In addition to the bullying from his family, he endured it until he couldn’t and naturally had to change.
“But he didn’t become worse, which means he’s a determined person.” The clan leader concluded. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
“A reverse in personality after reaching an extreme?” Gu Chengsi asked thoughtfully.
After they were done with a whole day of work, Zhou Ying also found that, in addition to being frugal due to being poor, sister Tian was quite warm-hearted and did her job quickly and cleanly.
Therefore, when she sent her off during the night, she asked, “Sister Tian, when will you be free? Can you teach me how to make clothes and shoes?”
“Tomorrow afternoon will do. I’m free every afternoon.” Sister Tian said after a moment of hesitation.
“Alright, I’ll come to see you tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay, but I don’t have spare cloths at home, so you have to bring them yourself.” After saying that, she turned around and brought the two children home.
Next, Gu Chengrui took a ringing bell from the space and spread the news throughout the nearby villages that he would be available to treat illnesses. When he was free after that, he went to the mountains with Tian Jiawang.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying bought another few water tanks, drilled some holes in them, and started growing bean sprouts. Whenever she had time, she would take some rolls of cloth to Sister Tian to learn how to make clothes and shoes.
Of course, she would let them teach her for nothing. She would bring snacks for the two girls every time she went over.
Since Gu Chengxi ate the wild chicken eggs and no longer had to go hungry at night, he became more and more daring. Every time he went up the mountain, he began to look for food to fill his stomach.
In the blink of an eye, the first batch of bean sprouts had grown and could be sold.
