Guo Yan looked at Gu Nian suspiciously; he had a feeling that his sister-in-law's niece was acting strangely today.
In the past, when they came to eat, this brat would always try to curry favor with him and his sister. Why didn't she do that today?
Although she was smiling, I felt something was off about her.
"Why are you wasting your breath talking to her? Are you trying to set her up with your cousin again?" Guo Wan walked over, gave Gu Nian a disdainful look, and said.
Gu Nian: "..."
Original owner, come out here! Just how many people's cousins have you been eyeing?
Guo Wan lifted her skirt, tiptoed to Gu Nian's side, glanced into the main room, and seeing that her protective sister-in-law hadn't come out, she turned to Gu Nian and said, "Gu Nian, just give up! Look at your ugly face. My cousin doesn't even like me, why would he like a stinky country girl like you?"
Gu Xin, carrying a basket of pig bristles, walked past Guo Wan angrily, then stomped hard on Guo Wan's head.
"Ouch! You brat, stop right there!" Guo Wan cried out in pain and reached out to grab Gu Xin by the back of her collar.
"Aunt Guo Wan, what are you doing? Are you trying to bully me again? I call you Third Aunt!" Gu Xin glared at Guo Wan and said.
"You..." Guo Wan was still afraid of her sister-in-law, especially since this was on someone else's turf.
She found it strange, though. Before, when Gu Nian bullied Gu Xin, Gu Nian would help her, and Gu Xin wouldn't dare to complain. But now it's the other way around?
"Let's go!" Gu Nian reached for Gu Xin's hand, bumping into Guo Wan in the process.
As for the original owner's crush on which cousin, well, she'd better not say too much about it. Saying too much would only embarrass her!
"Little brother, little sister, aren't you cold? Come in and warm up by the fire!" Just as Guo Wan was about to lash out, her third uncle appeared at the door of the main room.
The two children were still afraid of their eldest brother. They only glared at the four sisters before heading to the main room.
"Gu Nian, you'd better try your best! Whether it's the top scholar in the civil service exam or the top scholar in the military exam, bring one home with you. Don't let these annoying idiots think you're after their cousin!" Gu Hui patted Gu Nian on the back and said solemnly.
"No, I didn't, I absolutely didn't have any designs on it!" Gu Nian denied it three times in a row.
"Alright, let's go, the pig bristles are almost removed." Gu Hui didn't believe her.
As far as she knew, the girls had three cousins, or brothers: Zhang Yunyun's cousin, Guo Wan's cousin, and Sun Yumei's sixth brother. That's right, Sun Yumei's sixth brother. Gu Nian liked him very much last year, but she only turned her attention to Zhang Yunyun's cousin and Guo Wan's cousin after Sun Liulang got married at the beginning of this year.
Gu Nian looked up at the sky and sighed once again, wondering which other characters the original owner had taken a fancy to.
In her nephew's book, Gu Nian was already twenty when she appeared. She was such a supporting character, and her nephew wrote about her from a male perspective, without explaining her history of unrequited love!
"Go, sister! None of these people are good enough for you. Only the top scholar is worthy of you!" Gu Xin encouraged Gu Nian.
"Okay, go for it, sister!" Gu Nian was amused by Gu Xin's serious little face and stopped thinking about how many cousins she had.
...
Every year, Gu Sangu's in-laws would come over for a pig-slaughtering feast and stay overnight. That evening, after dinner, the family was busy in the kitchen when Gu Sangu's mother-in-law, Qin, suddenly mentioned Gu Nian to Cai Xiaolian.
"Second son's wife, your eldest daughter will be fifteen after the New Year, right?" Qin asked with a smile.
"Yes, Auntie." Cai Xiaolian smiled.
