Gu Jiajie had no objections to this; he knew this was something anyone would be envious of.
Wu Zhiren patted his shoulder and frowned, saying, "I just went to Yuanzi’s house and knocked on the door. His door wasn’t locked, but no one answered. Where did that kid go?"
Gu Jiajie guessed that the kid might be like him, sleeping soundly at home.
A few days ago, it was him, Liu Pingyuan, and Wu Zhiren who decided to trade on the black market.
Yesterday, his cousin wanted to go to the black market to sell some things, so she asked Liu Pingyuan from the same village to go with her.
In the coming days, they definitely have to go to the black market again, and Gu Jiajie couldn’t just let only him and Liu Pingyuan make money and forget about his brother Wu Zhiren.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiajie put his arm around Wu Zhiren and led him indoors, "Come on, brother, let me tell you something."
The two brothers walked inside, not mentioning how thrilled and excited Zhiren would be next.
Gu Jin in the side room was already awake; as soon as she opened her eyes, she met An Mingji’s serious gaze.
The scars on the child’s face had faded considerably, and you could faintly see his gentle, handsome features.
Gu Jin pinched the bridge of her nose, let out a lazy yawn, and asked, "What time is it now?"
An Mingji turned around to look at the clock in the room, "It’s almost one o’clock."
"So late?" Gu Jin sat up from the bed, lightly frowned.
Seeing her confused look, An Mingji asked, "A Jin sister, where did you go last night?"
"Hmm? Why are you asking this?" Gu Jin raised her eyebrows.
"You definitely didn’t sleep well last night, otherwise, how could you sleep until the afternoon."
An Mingji was just guessing, but seeing Gu Jin’s eyebrow raise and lack of immediate denial, he knew he guessed correctly.
Gu Jin smiled, didn’t answer his question but didn’t refute it either, which was as good as admitting it.
She got up and put on a dark red coat, which her adoptive father Gu Dehao brought back from the army, washed to the point of fading.
"Why is it so lively outside? Has someone come to buy meat again?"
Gu Jin asked while getting dressed.
"There are people buying meat, but more are coming to join the fun."
"Mm, have you eaten? What did you eat?"
An Mingji obediently replied, "This morning I had cornmeal porridge and mixed grain bread, leftover braised pork, and two eggs from yesterday. For lunch, I had stewed meat with vegetables and mixed grain bread, it was delicious!"
Hearing he had two eggs in the morning, Gu Jin showed a satisfied expression.
An Mingji was noticeably shorter and more frail than other kids; he needed a lot of nutritional supplements.
It seems that Aunt heard her words from yesterday and hadn’t neglected the child.
She walked over to the washbasin stand to take the basin outside to wash her face, but saw half a basin of clean water in it.
"Did you fetch this water?"
"Yes!" An Mingji wore a cute smile on his face.
"Good boy."
After praising him, Gu Jin began to wash her face and rinse her mouth.
Once everything was tidied up, Gu Jin beckoned to the obedient child sitting on the bed, "Come on, let’s go to the kitchen and see what there is to eat. I’m hungry."
An Mingji quickly walked up to her, and the two of them walked out of the room hand in hand.
The people talking outside near the right side room saw Gu Jin and An Mingji coming out and paused their conversations.
"Isn’t that the little wolf cub from the village?"
"Yes, why is he here? And cleaned up quite nicely."
"Still a white-eyed wolf no matter how clean, wasn’t it who stayed with that family for a few days before, and was said to have stolen food from them."
"I heard about it, it was at Liu Laoer’s house..."
