Later, when she returned to the room and found out there was a sold contract for Lin Pandi at home, Mrs. Jiang angrily scolded Lin Sanshui, blaming him for not speaking up sooner, leaving her slaving away in the kitchen exhausted.
Later, Lin Sanshui told her that the sold contract was just temporarily held to restrain Mrs. Zhang, and it would eventually be returned, as they were relatives, and he still bore the title of elder, he couldn’t truly treat the little girl as a servant.
Besides, their family had some money now, but hadn’t reached the point of having servants to order around.
Mrs. Jiang thought about it and realized it made sense, so she felt relieved.
At night, Little Hu moved to Erhu’s room, and Gu Nian slept with Lin Pandi.
At the break of dawn, Gu Nian was woken up by Lin Pandi from her quilt, "Niannian, get up quickly, Auntie is calling you."
"Oh, I’m getting up." Gu Nian suddenly remembered she was going to the town to sell jelly today, hurriedly opened her eyes and sat up.
By the time she was ready, Erhu was already prepared.
Lin Pandi, knowing she was living under someone else’s roof, was perceptive and said, "Uncle, Auntie, Erhu and Niannian are still young, how about I go along to help?"
Mrs. Jiang first looked at Lin Sanshui, seeing he showed no objection, she then said, "Alright, there’s not much to do at home anyway, you can go with them and have a change of scenery."
Lin Pandi smiled awkwardly.
She knew that the more polite they were to her, the less they intended to actually let her stay.
Nevertheless, she was already grateful to have a temporary place to stay.
When setting out, Lin Sanshui also got on the ox cart, Gu Nian asked in surprise, "Dad, aren’t you working in the fields today?"
Lin Sanshui shook his head, "Not today, you kids are going to the town for business for the first time alone, how can I be at ease without going with you. But, you shouldn’t expect me to help, I’m just going to watch, business is still up to you to handle."
Gu Nian laughed, "Got it, we won’t ask you to help. You just sit by and wait to collect money!"
Erhu, driving the ox cart, was so excited, he didn’t even mind their conversation.
Lin Pandi watched Lin Sanshui and Gu Nian with envy, having never experienced such closeness, not even from her own father. Googlᴇ search novel⚑fire.net
She used to think she had the best relationship with her sisters, but after her eldest sister got married, she realized that her sisters were actually selfish too.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have happily said that when the eldest sister got married, they would have a place to live.
The eldest sister always said that once they grew up and got married, they could live their own lives.
But thinking of the man her eldest sister married, she only felt desolate.
Having the ox cart increased their speed, and when they arrived, the town was still quiet, perfect for choosing a good spot.
After setting everything up, Lin Sanshui said, "You sell here, I’m going to the broker to have a look."
Gu Nian’s eyes instantly lit up, "Dad, what are you going there for?"
In ancient times, wasn’t a broker the equivalent of a modern-day agent?
Could it be, he was going to buy land?
Sure enough, upon hearing Gu Nian’s question, Lin Sanshui quickly came over, picked her up into his arms, and tapped her on the nose, "My little lady, keep your voice down. After discussing with your mother, we decided that keeping the silver at home isn’t safe, so after saving enough for building the house, we’ll use the rest to buy good farmland."
