Grandma Gu's lips twitched, but she ultimately said nothing.
Cai Xiaolian smiled and continued arranging the meat.
At this time of day, no one was washing clothes by the village's river. The four sisters carried their belongings to the riverbank, and Gu Nian began to demonstrate how to wash clothes using the tools.
As for the two little ones, Gu Xin and Gu Si, they were both refused to do anything.
"Wow! Sister, eldest cousin, there are copper coins here!" Gu Xin found a rock to sit on, and as soon as she sat down, she found several copper coins at her feet.
The other three sisters looked at her.
She had already picked up the coin, held it in her little hands, and ran over happily.
"You're really lucky!" Gu Hui couldn't help but say.
“Sister Daya, you said what I wanted to say,” Gu Nian added.
Gu Si looked down and glanced around.
"Gu Nian, if you call me Da Ya again, I'll throw you into the river!" Gu Hui glared at Gu Nian.
"Tch, Sister Daya loves her younger sisters the most, how could she bear to part with them? Hehe, Daya... ah no, Sister Huihui, let's cleanse our intestines!" Gu Nian knew her limits and changed her tune very quickly.
"Big cousin, sister, here, let's each have two! There are exactly eight." Gu Nian quickly divided the coins, stuffed them into her two older sisters' baskets, and then gave two more to Gu Si.
"You picked it up yourself, why are you giving it to us? I don't want it!" Gu Hui tried to take it out and return it to Gu Xin.
"Sister Huihui, just keep Xinxin if she gives her to you! Anyway, they have nothing to do, let them wander around and see if they can find anything else." Gu Nian stopped Gu Hui.
"Okay, sister, then I'll take Sisi and look around to see if we can still find it." Gu Xin was afraid that Gu Hui would insist on returning it to her, so she took Gu Si's hand and ran to the side.
Gu Hui pursed her lips, finally accepted it, and didn't forget to remind her, "Don't go too far."
After Gu Nian and Gu Hui finished cleaning up the intestines, heart, liver, lungs, and other organs, Gu Xin dragged Gu Si along until her forehead was covered in fine sweat and her little fists were clenched tightly.
"Big cousin, sister, we found twelve more! That means we can each get three more!" Gu Xin said excitedly.
Because she was happy, her eyes sparkled, and she kept looking around without stopping. Her cheeks were flushed, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and a bead of sweat shone brightly in the corner of her eye in the winter sun.
"Wow! Xinxin, you're amazing! You're such a lucky charm!" Gu Nian exclaimed in surprise. She had only said it casually, how did she actually find it? Is finding money really that easy?
"Jin, koi? Hehe, sister, I'm Xinxin, not koi." Gu Xin suddenly thought of the gift the little koi had given her and said somewhat guiltily.
"My dear Xin Xin, I'll have to follow you around often from now on, to get some of your good luck!" Gu Nian said with a smile, oblivious to Gu Xin's guilty conscience.
"Here, sister, for my eldest cousin. I've already given my younger cousin's." Gu Xinxin felt even more uneasy and quickly handed out the money to prevent her sister from mentioning the lucky koi again.
I'm sorry, sister. It was Xiaoyu who said we couldn't tell anyone, not that I didn't want to tell you.
Despite Gu Nian's joking remarks, Gu Hui still accepted the three coins. After going out to get her intestines cleaned, Gu Xin found twenty coins. Gu Si said that Gu Xin was the one who found them all.
The four sisters each received five coins and walked back in high spirits.
As they walked, they encountered a young man from the village. He was dark-skinned and quite large, and he blocked their way.
The three Gu sisters all looked at Gu Nian.
Gu Nian: "..."
What does that mean? I don't know this person!
