Lin Lan would always discreetly give her something to eat whenever she saw Gu Mi.

Erwang and Maisui also helped Lin Lan deliver food to their Eldest Aunt before. They were experienced and cautious, so letting the duo handle it would usually result in no mishaps.

They were still pretty happy to share with their Eldest Aunt’s family, but the same didn’t apply if they were to give anything to anyone else in that family. After all, they didn’t have much either.

When the two came back, Lin Lan announced that dinner was ready.

When the dumplings were served to the table, the rich aroma that was unique to the meat-filled dumplings wafted out. The children moved their index fingers eagerly and Sanwang even exaggeratedly swallowed his saliva.

Before starting, Han Qingsong said, “These dumplings are exchanged for your mother’s knowledge and abilities; you all should be grateful to her.”

The children all said, “Thank you, mother!”

Everyone except Dawang shouted, “We will also study hard and make money with our knowledge!”

Sanwang had also joined the gang, loudly preaching that he would study hard.

Lin Lan smiled and said, “Eat.”

Dumplings made of white flour before being stuffed with pork, shrimp and cabbage smelled absolutely delicious. The sweet and fragrant soup flowed into their mouths upon biting them. The food was hot and fresh, making the children more than eager to inhale the entire plate.

All of them were full of smiles, not even bothering to talk with the way they were absorbed in eating. In fact, even Dawang’s eyes glimmered in delight as his nose was sweating.

Seeing them eating with such a good appetite, Lin Lan was also very pleased. She could also rely on her knowledge to earn money and improve their nutrition, which really gave her a sense of accomplishment.

After eating the dumplings, the children drank the soup left from the dumplings and stroked their stomachs, feeling more than satisfied as they burped.

Lin Lan snapped her fingers, “I am going to list out a few rules in a very serious manner.”

The children’s attention was directed to her by the snapping of her fingers. TThey tried to imitate the sound one by one, despite Sanwang’s unsuccessful attempt as he rubbed his fingers together desperately.

Han Qingsong glanced at them before each of them immediately straightened their backs. Their expressions became serious and they put their hands back obediently.

Even Wangwang, who was next to Lin Lan, sat down seriously.

“First, as a human, you must not have the heart of harming others but you must also remember to keep your guard up against strangers. You must be honest and never bear the intention to harm, but also strive to be intelligent and cautious. If others take the initiative to ask you to do something dishonourable, you have to take precautions.”

This warning was aimed at the children. In the original plot, Dawang joined an underground gang, Erwang was a glib who only knew how to enjoy life’s pleasures by gambling and Sanwang would be killed by another’s provocation.

“Second, regarding study, cherish time and seize all possible time to learn. You may think that studying and literacy are useless, but when you grow up in the future, one day you will find that knowledge is key. “

“Third, having enough money is all that matters. Even though money is not everything, there is absolutely no way to survive without money. We must rely on our own intelligence and labour to create our own wealth. To have a sufficient amount of money is enough for us, so don’t be greedy and try to obtain luxuries through underhanded methods instead. Those actions will lead to your downfall.”

After she finished speaking, she paused and said with a smile, “It’s okay if you don’t understand these things now, you just need to remember them. When you grow up, you’ll realise the meaning behind my words.”
