Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Li Ling sniffed, her eyes brimming with tears, but Sun San Niang patted her arm, making her hold them back.

You can't cry during postpartum confinement.

"Thank you, Mom, and also my dad, grandma, and grandpa."

She knew her own family's situation well; they were poor and couldn't even compare to the Gu family.

Even after all this, her family members still gave her most precious possessions to her child.

Li Ling glanced around and saw that Gu Qi had already woken up. Hearing that the familiar voice was gone, he was reaching out to her.

She held the child's hand and said to the child, "Aqi also wants to thank her maternal grandparents, and her great-grandparents."

"They like Aqi."

If it weren't for winter, the road would be difficult to travel because of a previous snowfall.

The Li family wants to send even more.

Gu Qi: "Ahhh!"

As if agreeing with Li Ling, Sun San Niang watched in amazement; she had never seen such a bright and intelligent child.

"You gave birth to such a good child," she said sincerely to her daughter.

Li Ling smiled and accepted without hesitation: "Of course, Aqi is the best." The best child in the world.

Since giving birth to Aqi, she feels much healthier.

Even when the physician took her pulse, he was amazed to find that her body was much stronger than before.

Sun San Niang smiled without saying a word. Every mother thinks her own child is the best child in the world.

Gu Qi, however, didn't hold back and exclaimed "Ah!" twice. Yes, she was the best child.

The sunlight shone on her swaddling clothes, as if sprinkled with a layer of golden light.

The swaddling clothes gradually turned into clothes for the child, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Qi could run and jump.

More than three years have passed since Gu Qi was born.

April.

"Mom, I'm back." Gu Qi had two little pigtails in her hair and was wearing a gray cotton top and pants.

Her hands still had bits of dirt on them, and her fair face was also covered in mud.

Upon seeing this, Li Ling immediately led the people to wash their faces and hands, and also changed into a new set of clothes, which were cyan in color, much brighter than gray.

Gu Qi let her mother change her clothes, but then her eyes darted around and she asked, "Mother, whose relatives are we going to visit?"

Li Ling paused, "What? You got new clothes just to visit relatives?"

Gu Qi nodded her round head: "Yes, this dress is more expensive than the gray one, and you never let me wear it to play."

She would only let me wear it when visiting other people's homes or when she promised not to touch the soil.

Gu Qi continued her reasoning, mimicking someone pinching their chin with her little hand: "I guess, Mom, you won't take me to Uncle Yunshang's house?"

"Send me to a private school to study."

She knew that after her older brother was sent to school, her mother and father had been planning to send her to school as well.

Because she will have what others have.

Li Ling hugged the adorable little baby in front of her, rubbed the baby's round head, and kissed the baby's forehead, praising, "As expected of my son, so smart."

"When your dad comes back later, we'll go see your Uncle Yunshang this afternoon."

"Aqi, reading is a very precious thing, you know that, right?" Li Ling hugged her daughter and said to her.

Gu Qi nodded with an "Mmm".

"So, if anyone says anything that makes you uncomfortable, it's because they're jealous of you. Come back and tell Mom and Dad, and we'll talk to them."

Gujia Village is a harmonious village, but even the most beautiful places have their share of bad apples.

Most families in the village couldn't afford to send their children to school, and this was already the case for boys, let alone girls. It was inevitable that some of them would become confused.

They were jealous of their family, but dared not tell the adults, only daring to express their malice to the children.

Gu Qi looked up and said, "Mother, I know, I'm not afraid." She was eating eggs with her older brother.

I've already heard it.

But she ended up eating the egg.

Li Ling: "My daughter Aqi is so brave." The mother and daughter exchanged some more affectionate words before coming out of the house.

As soon as Gu Qi came out, Gu Siya and Gu Sanyue ran over and looked her up and down, asking, "Qi, can I touch her?"

Her clothes were all made of linen.

Aqi's clothes were made of cotton, and she even had a set of silk clothes.

Gu Qi nodded generously: "Go ahead and touch it." She also had lofty ambitions: "When we grow up, we'll wear even better clothes."

"Fourth Sister, you won't like touching it anymore then." Because you'll be pregnant.

Gu Sanyue: "Really? I'll wear cotton clothes and silk clothes when I grow up?"

"Yes, we will work hard to earn money."

"Okay, I'll try my best too."

As the two sisters were talking, Gu Mai walked past them and saw her granddaughter's brightly colored new clothes.

Knowing that her third daughter-in-law was taking her granddaughter out, she didn't ask any further questions.

It wasn't until they returned that they announced some big news to their family.

Gu Mai regretted not asking a question earlier.

"Aqi".

A clear voice rang out from outside the door. Gu Lan was nine years old and already had the height of a teenager, but she liked to play with the first baby she had ever seen.

The two had only been separated for a short time, and now they've come looking for each other again.

Gu Qi waved: "Sister Lan."

With Gu Lan's arrival, Gu Jia's third daughter, Gu Siyue, also came, and the four of them returned to Aqi's new room.

A small house, five meters long and three meters wide.

"Come, sit down, don't be shy." Gu Qi took the lead in opening the door and welcoming the familiar person.

Four people sat around a round table with a dish of spiced melon seeds and several porcelain bowls on it.

Gu Qi pushed the sunflower seeds to the very center, a spot that anyone could reach.

She had something to do in the afternoon, and she made plans with her sisters for tomorrow. The children chatted about this and that, and the conversation could go on and on about anything and everything.

She got thirsty while talking, so she went to get some water. When she came back, she continued talking, and Gu Lan even told a few stories.

They listened with great interest until Gu Sanhe returned before the party ended. Gu Lan went home, and Gu Sanyue and Gu Siyue told the story to their eldest and second eldest sisters who had returned home.

Interesting stories can satisfy their curiosity.

"Why do you want to study with me?" After entertaining Gu Sanhe and his wife, Gu Yunshang asked Gu Qi with a kind but slightly puzzled tone.

He only received boys.

A boy's path to education could be through the imperial examinations, or if he couldn't concentrate on reading, he could become a shopkeeper in the city.

He didn't know what Gu Qi would gain after accepting his tuition.

Gu Qi: "I want to learn to read and understand principles." Her mother said that scholars are the smartest, and she wanted to be a smart person.

Her father said that there is a golden house in books, and she also wanted to be rich.

But there's no need to say these things to Uncle Yunshang.

Gu Yunshang chuckled and explained to Gu Qi, word by word, the reasons why she might not benefit from reading books.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Qi was not disappointed.

"I know, but Mom and Dad say that what you learn is something no one can take away from you."

She clenched her fist: "Sister Lan also said that there's always a way out, and I'm still accumulating experience."

"Maybe by the time I've saved enough, the path will have already opened up for me."

Gu Yunshang was taken aback, then nodded and said to Gu Sanhe and Li Ling, "I accept it."

"Just charge the same tuition as the children in our village."

Gu Sanhe and Li Ling exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise. They had originally thought they would put Gu Yunshang in a difficult position, so they were prepared to offer tuition fees that were twice as high as those for the children in the village.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't used.

The two expressed their sincere gratitude to Gu Yunshang.

The family of three walked to their doorstep with smiles on their faces, then stopped. Li Ling patted Gu Qi's head and said, "Mom and Dad have something to discuss with Grandpa and Grandma when we get home."

"Bao'er, go play with Gu Lan for a while."

"We'll come pick you up later."

Gu Qi: "Mother, are you and Father alright?" Does she need her help?

"sure."

Gu Sanhe answered first, saying that he handed over half of his monthly salary, a total of four hundred coins, every month.

He earned four taels and eight taels of silver a year.

He is the biggest contributor to the Gu family.

Gu Qi took Li Ling and Gu Sanhe's hands together: "I believe in you."

She turned and ran to the opposite door, then turned back and waved to her mother and father.

Li Ling and Gu Sanhe exchanged a glance and walked towards home.

There's little work to do in the fields and few odd jobs available today, and the Gu family is all at home, making it a perfect time to announce the news.

"Father, Mother, we need to send Aqi to a private school."
