Gu Nian: "?"
A sentence suddenly popped into her head: "After being transported to another world, I was forced into marriage."
She shook her head: "No, no, no, Father, I'm only fourteen, I can't get married! In our area, you can only get married at twenty."
Gu Nian strongly suspected that this "Nine Thousand Years Old" (a term of respect for a high-ranking official) disliked her for wasting food at home.
Cai Xiaolian nodded under Gu Shouxin's questioning gaze: "That's right. In our area, well, the imperial court stipulates that men must be at least twenty-two years old and women at least twenty years old to get married."
Gu Shouxin pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's talk about it later! From now on, the family's livelihood will depend on you two. Xinxin is still young, not enough to eat or wear, and she does most of the housework. She looks like a six-year-old child. So, I hope that you two can do more things in the future and let Xinxin do less. Of course, I am not someone who only studies the classics. I can also do things."
Gu Nian felt somewhat wronged.
We're all from another world, so why can't she receive parental love?
In my past life, I didn't have parents, but I did have older brothers and sisters-in-law!
That damned nephew of hers!
Having seen all sorts of people, Gu Shouxin could easily see Gu Nian's grievances. He smiled and said, "Gu Nian, because you are just like us, I don't treat you like a child. Now that our father-daughter relationship is established, I will take on the responsibilities of a father."
Gu Nian looked at Gu Shouxin in surprise, feeling that this person must have mind-reading abilities!
Cai Xiaolian felt that the current situation was a bit strange, but considering that the three of them had come from different places at the same time, it was strange in itself, so she didn't think too much about it.
She shared her thoughts: "I used to be a businesswoman, and business is business. Since we've just met and our roles are already defined, why don't we treat this family like a business? Our goal is to make this business successful. Since we're here, we should live well, comfortably, and without regrets. I have only one thought: my life in this life cannot be worse than before. Therefore, I want to continue doing business. I can do housework, like laundry and cleaning, but I can't cook; it's really hard for me to eat. Gu Nian, what can you do?"
Gu Nian felt that Cai Xiaolian said something very good: "Live comfortably and without regrets."
So she said, "I'm currently pursuing my PhD in biology. You can take care of the cooking for me. My parents died when I was young, and my older brother raised me. Besides studying, I love food and I can both eat and cook. Of course, if you want to sell soap or cosmetics, Mom, I can make those for you too. But I'll only be responsible for cooking."
Cai Xiaolian's eyes lit up. Oh, a doctoral student!
Gu Nian recovered from the slight setback she suffered from Gu Shouxin with Cai Xiaolian: "Mother, although I have a skill, we don't have the capital."
Cai Xiaolian laughed and said, "Girl, it's okay if we don't have money! We have your dad! He just said he'll give us some money for household expenses in a couple of days, so let's use that money to test the waters!"
Then, the mother and daughter both looked at Gu Shouxin.
Gu Shouxin: "..."
And so, the first family meeting came to an end.
The three time travelers reached an agreement: the debts of the original client, Gu Shouxin, would be taken care of by the Ninth Prince, who would also be responsible for providing start-up capital for his family's business.
From now on, Gu Nian will be in charge of three meals a day, Cai Xiaolian will be in charge of cleaning and laundry, Gu Shouxin will be in charge of firewood, and the rest will be assigned according to the situation.
As for Gu Xin, who was already asleep, the three of them discussed that she didn't need to do anything, but should obediently take care of her health until she was at least as tall and fit as Gu En from the first wife's family.
