"Don't worry, Sister Huihui, I will definitely not be fooled by a little kid," Gu Nian assured her.
“Back then, Sun Yumei from Lotus Village also told her brother that she would never be interested in Wang Tiezhu from our village. Unfortunately, she was later coaxed into marrying him. The generous dowry her brothers gave her was almost entirely spent by the Wang family. As for herself, she almost lost her life along with her unborn child, and she still hasn’t recovered!” Gu Hui said.
“I’m not that stupid,” Gu Nian said.
“It’s not a matter of being stupid or not. Second Uncle is such a smart man, but look what he’s become because of a woman. You’ve seen it yourself over the years. It’s been more than ten years since he recovered!” Gu Hui said.
"Sister Huihui, I really don't know what to say about your sudden concern!" Gu Nian sighed.
“Gu Nian, don’t disbelieve me, my intuition is very accurate. Anyway, I just think he has designs on your abilities. You’re so smart, you can do so many things, and you’re beautiful too. Marrying you wouldn’t be bad. But once he finds someone more useful than you, no matter how much he likes you, he will wrong you and even abandon you,” Gu Hui said.
"How did this conversation turn into getting married? It's like we're actually having an affair," Gu Nian said helplessly, rubbing her forehead. "Wait, Sister Huihui, you're only two years older than me, it feels like you're twenty!"
"Forget it! I can't be bothered to talk to you. Anyway, I've seen this kind of situation many times. The magistrate's eldest son gives me the feeling of a heartless person in this situation. Of course, heartless people can be men or women. I can't help it if you don't believe me. I'm leaving. Didn't you say you were going to make some candy tomorrow? I'm going back to sleep!" Gu Hui waved her hand and left.
"It's not even dark yet, why are you going back to sleep?" Gu Nian said with a smile.
Gu Hui simply waved her hand and left without looking back.
After seeing her older sister leave, Gu Si and Gu En said goodbye to Gu Xin and went home.
"Sister!" Gu Xin ran over happily, her little face flushed.
"Xinxin, do you like that swing?" Gu Nian asked with a smile.
"I love it! It's so much fun on the swing. Now I know what it feels like to fly!" Gu Xin nodded happily.
"I'm glad you like it! By the way, Xin Xin, do you think Young Master Cheng is a bad person?" Gu Nian wiped the fine sweat from Gu Xin's forehead and asked.
They have koi fish at home, ask them.
"No! Brother Xiao Jin said that Brother Cheng Rui is very capable. He's the top student in school, all the teachers like him, and his family likes him too. He's not a bad person, is he?" Gu Xin paused for a moment, then said.
Gu Nian: "...I guess so! Okay, go wash up and wipe your sweat!"
"Niannian, Xinxin, come here quickly! I have something good for you." At this moment, Cai Xiaolian called to the two of them from the main room.
As the two entered, Cai Xiaolian placed the basket of small medicine bottles that Grandma Xiao had given her on the table in the main room.
Gu Shouxin was using a small bamboo tube, about the size of an index finger, to hold the medicinal powder.
"Dad, what's this?" Gu Xin wasn't there when Grandma Xiao brought the things.
"It's specially designed to deal with bad people. Your father will put you three in small bamboo tubes. We'll sew a hidden compartment in each set of clothes so that if you encounter any danger that you can't handle, you can just sprinkle the powder out of these bamboo tubes," Gu Shouxin explained.
“Xin Xin, this will scratch you to death, it is…” Cai Xiaolian explained the uses of several kinds of medicinal powders to Gu Xin again.
