"Xinxin, what's wrong? What are you thinking about with that frown? Didn't you want to be the prettiest girl in our Sanchakou Village? Why are you looking so gloomy?" Gu Hui noticed that Gu Xin looked preoccupied and asked with a hint of teasing.
"Sister Huihui, I... I was just trying to annoy Sister Yunyun." Gu Xin came to her senses, waved her hands nervously, and explained.
"Why are you still calling her Sister Yunyun? She said those things about you! Aren't you stupid?" Gu Si, who was usually inconspicuous, rarely spoke up.
“Sisi is right. Why call her Sister Yunyun? Just call her Zhang Yunyun. She doesn’t act like a proper older sister at all.” Gu Nian stopped thinking about the original owner’s unpleasant affairs, patted Gu Xin’s head, and said.
"Oh, I understand." Gu Xin nodded, then pursed her lips, looking hesitant.
"Xinxin, just say what you want to say. We're sisters, there's nothing we can't talk about." Seeing her like this, Gu Nian knew that she probably had some of the original owner's embarrassing past here.
"Sister, it's that Yunyun, oh no, Yunyun's cousin, Liu Zi, the one you like very much. Last month, you gave Yunyun a lot of things, and she finally agreed to take you to Liu Zi's birthday party in December. You were so happy the day she agreed, and you even gave me a piece of candy," Gu Xin said cautiously.
"What? You said before that I liked Zhang Yunyun's second brother, that big, dark guy!" Gu Nian was shocked and blurted out without thinking.
However, the Gu sisters, Gu Hui and Gu Si, didn't suspect anything about her. They just wondered why she was being so unreserved. Wasn't she practically begging for sex?
“Yes! You’re always happy when Brother Yungui gives you things!” Gu Xin nodded.
Gu Nian: "..."
What exactly did that idiot original owner do?
"Ahem, well, Sister Huihui, Niannian, Sisi, I'll tell you today! Actually, I don't like anyone, really. I think I was brainwashed by Zhang Yunyun. She must have praised her cousin so much that I got carried away. I have absolutely no intention of getting married right now, you have to believe me." Gu Nian decided that from this moment on, starting with these girlfriends, she would clearly express her feelings on matters of the heart.
"Yes, I know, you're the one who's going to marry the top scholar." Gu Hui said seriously, and as long as you ignored the teasing smile in her eyes, her tone was extremely sincere.
“Sister Niannian, isn’t Second Uncle going to take the imperial examination? If Second Uncle becomes the top scholar, won’t you be unable to get married? Grandpa said that the imperial examination is held every three years, and the next one is the year after next. After the year after next, three more years will pass, which will be five years. Sister Niannian, you’re already nineteen!” Gu Si said weakly.
Gu Nian sighed, rubbing her forehead.
She couldn't very well say that her father, who was over 900 years old, couldn't become the top scholar in the imperial examination!
"Nineteen it is! Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore. You're my sisters, so just trust me, I don't have any intention of getting married to anyone right now, okay?" Gu Nian knew that nineteen was considered an old maid here, so she only emphasized one point before continuing, "Come on, let's get down to business! That unlucky Zhang Yunyun, she's wasted so much of our time!"
The four sisters chatted and laughed all the way to the back of the mountain.
The sun was shining brightly today, and the fallen leaves and branches on the ground were already dry. The two sisters were packing them into their baskets.
Gu Hui and Gu Nian used machetes to cut some small, dry branches.
