The Host is Clearly A Scumbag (Quick Travel)

Watching Daya happily suck the juices from rabbit spine bones, He Gu gnaw on the head, and Jiang Xiao'e chew the meatless ribs, Mingting felt a lump in his throat.

In his last world, he had been born into privilege. The Gu Family was wealthy and Mingting had never worried about money.

Usually, he would spend hundreds of millions casually, and he didn't have much knowledge of money, nor did he have such a great desire for material things.

But when he arrived here and saw that the women in the family willingly eat less so he could have more, Mingting was deeply moved.

'Why should women at home only get the scraps while the men got the best parts?'

'What rule said mothers, sisters, and daughters had to selflessly sacrifice and defer to the men in the family?'

'Why?!'

"Little System, I've decided what I'll do in this life."

Mingting's eyes sparkled, shining as bright as stars.

"I want to change the fate of women, to do everything I can to raise the status of women in this country, so that men respect them from the depths of their hearts, not just superficially."

[Boss, you've got this!] The System cheered Mingting on, confident that Mingting could achieve whatever he set his mind to.

Mingting tore the rabbit leg meat into pieces and gave them to He Gu, Jiang Xiao'e and Daya.

He Gu refused at first, but Mingting pressed her hand, "Mom, if you don't eat, I won't be able to either. How can a son feast on meat while his mother gnaws on bones?"

Mingting's heartfelt words moved He Gu deeply.

"Alright, alright, Mom will eat." He Gu took a bite of the rabbit leg, "It's so delicious! My youngest makes the best rabbit stew!"

Jiang Xiao'e glanced at He Gu, then at her daughter, who was nibbling on the meat. Suddenly, she realized that having Mingting as a younger brother wasn't so bad after all.

Since he arrived, her mother had been smiling more, and the atmosphere at home had changed.

It was wonderful!

After the meal, He Gu packed the wild geese into a basket, planning to sell them in town before nightfall.

Mingting also wanted to go with her, saying that he wanted to see his brother-in-law so that he would know where his brother-in-law worked in the future.

He Gu didn't refuse this small request, but she was worried that Mingting might be tired from all the walking.

"Mom, I'm strong! I've got plenty of energy!" Mingting rolled up his sleeves and flexed his arm.

"There's not even two ounces of meat on you. You're as skinny as a chick."

He Gu felt that Mingting had suffered under the traffickers, making her even more protective of him.

As they talked, they soon arrived in town.

The brother-in-law, Wang Zhi, worked as an accountant in a cloth shop. When He Gu and Mingting arrived, he was busy doing the accounts. It was also the quarterly summary, so it was his most hectic time.

Wang Zhi was delighted to see his mother-in-law and brother-in-law came to see him.

When he saw the live geese Mingting had caught, he was even more impressed.

Wild geese were considered auspicious everywhere. Having a pair at a wedding was a matter of great prestige.

"Mom, you came at the perfect time. The young master of the Liu Family's tea business is getting married in two days. These geese can be sold for a good price!"

Wang Zhi repeatedly praised Mingting's luck and sent someone to the Liu Family.

When the Liu Family's steward arrived, he saw the geese with smooth feathers and full of vitality. Moreover, they are a perfect pair, male and female, with excellent symbolism. So the steward didn't hesitate to pay 40 taels of silver for them.

On one hand, wild geese were rare, and these were of exceptional quality. The Liu Ffamily is wealthy and didn't care about the cost. And on the other hand, the housekeeper was very generous because the person who sold the geese was Wang Zhi, who is a Tongsheng.

"A pair of geese is worth so much money? My youngest son can already earn money now?"

He Gu held the heavy silver in her hands and couldn't believe her eyes.

"Mom, my brother-in-law is filial. Your best days are still ahead!"

Wang Zhi was a mature and steady person with a sincere heart. He didn't think there was anything wrong with He Gu adopting Ming Ting.

"Yeah, yeah, you're all filial."

He Gu hurriedly put the silver away carefully.

There were many expenses at home. Wang Zhi still had examination to take, and Mingting and Xiaosong needed schooling, so this money had to be saved.

Meanwhile, Mingting stood by the table at this time, staring at the account book that Wang Zhi spread out on the table.

"Mingting, can you understand this?" Wang Zhi walked over.

"Brother-in-law, I know accounting." Mingting pointed at the account book and recited the figures without using an abacus.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi was dumbfounded. He quickly grabbed his abacus and calculated, then the number he got was the same as the one Mingting said.

"You can calculate just by looking at it? Come on, let's do separate calculations."

Wang Zhi didn't believe it and flipped to another page.

In less than a minute, Mingting gave a number, but Wang Zhi was still laboriously working with his abacus. When he finished, the result was exactly the same.

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

Wang Zhi then pitted Mingting against the shop's most experienced accountants, which even drew the attention of the cloth shop's owner, Boss Sun.

Under Boss Sun's watchful eye, Mingting faced off against several veteran accountants in a contest of mental arithmetic versus abacus calculations.

Mingting used less time than it took to drink a cup of tea to count an account book, while the others needed half an hour, and that was with Mingting holding back.

"A true arithmetic prodigy!" Boss Sun looked at Mingting like he was a prized treasure.

His business is very big, and he has to do the accounts every three months, which is time-consuming and laborious, exhausting for the accountants.

Seeing that Mingting is so good at arithmetic at such a young age, Boss Sun asked him to help for a few days and stay in the cloth shop to help with the accounts.

"Food and lodging included, two taels of silver!" Boss Sun directly offered the highest price.

When he saw that Mingting was so smart even though he's still so young, he knew he must be destined for greatness, that's why Boss Sun wanted to forge a good connection with him.

They agreed that Mingting would start early the next morning.

Because he got 40 taels of silver from selling the wild geese, Wang Zhi personally escorted He Gu and Mingting back to the village.

Only after sitting down at home did He Gu finally snap out of her daze.

Just last night, she had been worrying about the added expenses of raising a boy, especially since Mingting would need to go to school in the future. The financial strain had weighed heavily on her.

And now, in just a single day, Mingting had earned so much for the family.

"My youngest son is a lucky star!" Now, He Gu was utterly convinced of this.
