Good job taking money and getting things done!
Nan Jin Yu smiled and didn’t say anything further.
Wuxin glanced at Nan Jin Yu’s expression and directly said to Gu Nian, "Little girl, you can go home now."
Gu Nian smiled sweetly, but the moment she turned around, her smile completely vanished, replaced by a more cautious look.
She was almost certain that being saved when she encountered the wild boar in the mountains was definitely not a coincidence.
And the person who saved her was someone by this young man’s side, so, did he send someone to follow her?
The ten taels of silver for selling peaches, the ten taels of silver for selling honey, and this meal money.
The money received far exceeded the value of the things they sold.
Gu Nian didn’t believe that good fortune would fall from the sky and just happen to land on her head.
So, the so-called luck was nothing but someone else’s plan.
Gu Nian thought again of the person who had bought her peaches back then, carrying a basket towards a luxurious carriage. Now, it seemed, the real owner of the peaches might just be this young man in the courtyard.
His legs were disabled, and eating peaches would have therapeutic effects, which is why he couldn’t forget about it, why he targeted her!
Undeniably, Gu Nian’s guesses were indeed all correct.
In the small courtyard, Nan Jin Yu unusually ate two bowls of rice and a lot of dishes.
In the end, it was Wuxin who reminded him before he noticed his faux pas.
Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Nan Jin Yu fell into deep thought.
Aside from the matter with the peaches, just this tableful of dishes didn’t seem to be made by a farmer.
Nan Jin Yu also knew he was famously picky, but this table of food had made him unknowingly eat two bowls of rice, enough to demonstrate the culinary excellence.
Looking at the silent Nan Jin Yu, Wuxin asked, "Master, should we continue to keep an eye on Gu Nian? Or, we could directly capture her and interrogate the source of the peaches?"
"No need." Nan Jin Yu shook his head, his gaze shifted away a bit, avoiding looking at the food on the table, suppressing the desire to continue eating. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
"There’s no need to follow her anymore. Tomorrow, go to the Lin Family and ask who prepared these meals, and have her temporarily responsible for our daily meals." After saying this, Nan Jin Yu himself wheeled the wheelchair towards the interior of the house.
Only then did Wuxin and Wuming sit down to eat.
The two devoured the remaining food quickly, leaving nothing behind.
Wuming even let out a satisfied burp, which was perfectly met with disdain by Wuxin.
In fact, the Zheng Family had arranged for a chef to come along with Nan Jin Yu, but Nan Jin Yu had instructed them to come tomorrow instead.
Now it seemed his decision was indeed the right one.
On the way back, Gu Nian remained silent.
Lin Sanshui and Erhu were chattering non-stop, excited beyond control because of the silver they had just gained.
Not yet at the door, Erhu suddenly noticed Gu Nian’s unusual behavior and asked, "Little sister, why aren’t you talking? Are you unhappy?"
"No, I’m just listening to you and dad." Gu Nian quickly put on a beaming smile.
Back at home, Mrs. Jiang asked them, "Why so late? We’ve been waiting for you for ages; the food’s almost cold!"
Lin Sanshui turned back and said to Erhu and Gu Nian, "You two go wash your hands first, hurry and eat, we still have to stuff sausages later."
Obediently, Gu Nian went to wash her hands, and Erhu followed.
Seeing the children couldn’t see, Lin Sanshui mysteriously pulled Mrs. Jiang aside.
"Oh, the kids are watching, what are you doing?" Mrs. Jiang complained.
Lin Sanshui proudly handed the pouch to Mrs. Jiang, "Look at this."
