The air suddenly became quiet.
The way Nan Jin Yu ate was a visual delight, not making the slightest sound throughout.
Gu Nian was watching, and she was completely entranced.
Until a sudden pain on her forehead snapped her back to reality.
Holding her forehead with one hand, Gu Nian looked at Nan Jin Yu incredulously, "What are you doing? Flicking my forehead all of a sudden, that hurt!"
With her big eyes glaring, her tone held a hint of anger, just like a little cat whose fur had been ruffled.
Nan Jin Yu laughed and said, "You were staring blankly yourself. I called you several times but you didn’t respond. How is it my fault?" This update is available on NoveI~Fire.net
Gu Nian’s face flushed instantly, "Huh? You called me? What’s up?"
Getting lost watching someone and then getting caught, it’s really embarrassing!
"Wuming caught a deer. Do you want to stay for dinner tonight?"
Gu Nian shook her head, "No, it’s not good to always eat at your place. I should go home."
Nan Jin Yu nodded, not pressing the matter, "Then take some venison with you later."
This time, Gu Nian did not refuse.
When Gu Nian was about to leave to carry her basket, Nan Jin Yu spoke again, "Young children shouldn’t carry heavy things. It could hurt your hands. Let Wuxin see you home."
In fact, Gu Nian had already picked it up, but she didn’t know how much meat was inside, and she couldn’t move it by herself.
Gu Nian lifted the top lid and saw the basket was packed full.
She wrinkled her delicate eyebrows and said, "Isn’t this too much? Just a little is fine to taste. We can’t finish this much at home!"
"It’s not too much. The meat won’t stay fresh for long. I can’t eat that much myself, and if I don’t give it to you, it’ll just go to waste." Nan Jin Yu said.
"If you can’t finish it, you could sell it cheaper to the villagers. They rarely get to eat meat, so someone would surely want to buy some." Gu Nian blurted out instinctively.
Nan Jin Yu just laughed, "Do you think I’d need the little silver from selling meat?"
Gu Nian effectively silenced herself.
If he wouldn’t sell it, she couldn’t suggest he give it away for free either.
After all, habits can be a terrible thing.
Giving things away as a habit might not bring gratitude, but rather more greed.
So, Gu Nian, who always benefited, felt uneasy, otherwise she wouldn’t risk helping Nan Jin Yu with his leg.
Gu Nian thanked him and went home with Wuxin.
After Wuxin left, Erhu looked at the basket on the ground and asked, "Weren’t you delivering milk tea to Young Master Nan? How come he sent you back? Also, what’s in this basket?"
Gu Nian didn’t rush to answer. Instead, she crouched down and directly lifted the lid to reveal the fresh red venison inside.
Erhu swallowed hard, "Little sister, Young Master Nan teaching you to read is already generous enough, and you often eat at his place. Now you’re bringing stuff home. Isn’t this too much?"
"Wuming caught a deer in the mountains, and Young Master Nan said he couldn’t finish it all. So he gave me this much because otherwise, it would go to waste..."
After Gu Nian explained, Erhu couldn’t help but once again sigh at the wealth of others.
Of course, he was even more envious of Wuming’s hunting skills.
If he had such skills, wouldn’t his family never lack meat to eat in the future?
"By the way, you asked me to inquire whether Old Mr. Li’s family would sell their milk goats. He said he needed to discuss it with his son. He just got back to me, and they agreed to sell. Since we live in the same village, he’s not asking for much, even cheaper than selling at the cattle market by one copper coin per pound." Erhu said.
