"If I need you to help me at home, and Mom is going to sell things, would you stay home to help me, or go with Mom to sell things?" Gu Nian asked curiously.
Gu Xin was taken aback, blinked, and looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, don't make things difficult for Xinxin. We'll decide based on the situation! If you're too busy, I'll have to stay and help you!" Cai Xiaolian said with a smile, seeing Gu Xin's troubled expression.
“Yes, yes. Sister, Mother is right!” Gu Xin quickly nodded in agreement.
"Little brat!" Gu Nian poked Gu Xin's forehead with her hand. A well-behaved little sister is definitely much better than a bratty nephew or niece.
That damned nephew of hers wrote Xin Xin so miserably in the book, humph, don't give me a chance to travel back in time, or else...
When Gu Xin went to sleep that night, she felt warm all over and seemed much more relaxed than before. Could this be what her sister meant by removing the stains from her body? It felt so good!
She felt extremely embarrassed when she thought about the dark, sweaty streaks she rubbed off her body while taking a bath with her sister.
She opened her palm, and the jade fish appeared.
"Little fish, little fish, so this is how you get clean after a bath! Hehe, my sister helped me take a bath today, it's another happy day!" Gu Xin whispered to the jade fish, expressing her joy.
...
The next day was the day to deliver the slag chili peppers to the county town.
The family of four was about to leave when the restaurant staff arrived.
Manager Cheng was among those who came.
"Second Brother Gu, Sister-in-law, Eldest Niece, you must save me!" When Manager Cheng saw the whole family gathered together, his face immediately changed, and he looked extremely aggrieved.
Gu Shouxin raised an eyebrow. Ha, in just three days, they've become his second brother's wife and niece?
No matter where you are, using how you address someone to build rapport is definitely a common practice.
"Oh dear, Manager Cheng, what happened to you? Were you extorted? Robbed? Or did your employer take away your work?" Cai Xiaolian asked in surprise.
The family of four had already discussed it and agreed that in future business dealings, Cai Xiaolian would be the one to make the decisions, and Gu Shouxin would simply stand by her side.
Manager Cheng twitched his lips, thinking that he probably wouldn't have a chance to get past this woman's sharp tongue.
"Uncle Cheng, were you really extorted and robbed? Have you reported it to the authorities? You should report it. Grandpa said that the newly appointed magistrate of Taoyuan County is a good official and will definitely stand up for you. Hurry up and go, don't waste time here." Gu Xin had a good impression of the shopkeeper who bought their chili peppers and cakes, and now, hearing Cai Xiaolian's words, she was genuinely worried about him, looking extremely serious.
The time-traveling trio: "..."
I wanted to laugh, but I was afraid of upsetting Xinxin, so I held it in.
Manager Cheng: "..."
He tried to regain his composure: "Hehe, little niece, Uncle was just joking. Uncle is here to discuss business with your family, that's why I exaggerated like that. It's nothing like that."
“Xin Xin, if Uncle Cheng were to express himself in words, he could use an exaggerated style. He could express his eagerness to cooperate with our family, and how important our family is to him,” Gu Nian explained earnestly to Gu Xin, emphasizing the words “eager” and “important.” She then turned to Manager Cheng, “Uncle Cheng, am I right?”
"Yes, yes, hehe, yes, my niece is absolutely right!" Manager Cheng nodded repeatedly.
Well, it looks like the Gu family is going to haggle over the price again today. I can't win the argument!
