"Go check if this silver note is real or not!" Lin Sanshui gave a look as if he was watching a fool, "We haven’t seen a silver note before, we can’t just take their word for it, right? Besides, even if it says a thousand taels on it, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s an actual silver note. What if it’s fake?"
"Yes, yes, go quickly and be careful on the way." Mrs. Jiang also thought he made a good point.
Gu Nian’s whole little face scrunched up.
Young Master Nan, such a dazzling and unparalleled person, surely wouldn’t deceive them.
Unfortunately, she trusted Nan Jin Yu, but Lin Sanshui and his wife did not.
Or rather, they dared not trust him.
A thousand taels of silver was such a large amount, it made them feel like they were dreaming and not quite at ease.
"So, should I go with you?"
Seeing Lin Sanshui about to leave, Gu Nian quickly asked him from behind.
Lin Sanshui paused his steps slightly, turned back, and directly picked Gu Nian up, laughing, "Of course you’re going, you are our little lucky star. Even if no one else goes, you have to go!"
Gu Nian giggled nonstop from being teased.
Lin Sanshui initially thought about borrowing someone’s donkey, but upon remembering he’d already borrowed it multiple times, and the last time he returned it, the owner seemed unhappy.
After considering for a bit, he decided against it.
And at this time, the mule that usually went to the town had already left, so he had no choice but to walk all the way with Gu Nian.
Along the way, afraid she’d get tired, he occasionally carried Gu Nian on his back.
Once they reached the town, the first thing Lin Sanshui did was head straight to the bank. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Of course, although his actions were urgent, he never let go of Gu Nian’s hand.
One thousand taels of silver were considered a substantial amount of money in this town.
So, even though Lin Sanshui and Gu Nian were not dressed well, they still received the best reception.
After confirming that the silver note was indeed real, Lin Sanshui’s pounding heart finally settled down.
Lin Sanshui asked the clerk to split the 1,000 taels of silver into nine silver notes of 100 taels each and ten small silver ingots.
After leaving the bank, Lin Sanshui placed a silver ingot in Gu Nian’s hand and said, "Daughter, be bold today, buy whatever you fancy, and if it’s not enough, Dad has more here!"
"Thank you, Dad, you are the best." Gu Nian praised without hesitation and then made a request, "Dad, let’s buy a cow and a cart. It’ll make going to town much easier in the future."
Buying a cow was no small matter, and Lin Sanshui hadn’t discussed it with Mrs. Jiang beforehand. His expression initially froze but then relaxed as if making a decision, "Alright, let’s buy it now!"
The cattle market in town was on a remote street, with a large open space next to it. It not only had cows but also donkeys, horses, pigs, and sheep—a small livestock trading market.
However, the smell was quite overwhelming.
Ever since Gu Nian arrived here, she had been covering her nose. As soon as she let go, all she could smell was the scent of manure.
There were quite a few people around, and Lin Sanshui didn’t dare let go of her hand and let her walk alone.
Soon, Lin Sanshui spotted a sturdy bull and began bargaining with the owner.
Gu Nian took the opportunity to let go of his hand and walk to the side, looking at the cows and sheep in front of her. To be honest, she was a bit tempted.
If only she could buy some and put them in her space.
Nowadays, whenever she saw anything living, she wanted to stash it into her space.
Just as Gu Nian was having her thoughts, Lin Sanshui came over to pull her, "Niannian, let’s go, we’ve got to hitch the cart with the cow, then we can go back."
