"Could it be that you pulled the child’s hair too hard while washing it last night?" Lin Sanshui asked. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
Mrs. Jiang twitched her mouth and looked at him, "Wouldn’t I know if such a large chunk of hair was washed off? Wouldn’t the child feel pain? Besides, if it were really pulled out, there’d at least be some injury on the scalp!"
Gu Nian kept her head down, her eyes darting around, looking guilty.
She had soaked in spiritual spring water in the space, and the wound on the back of her head healed without leaving a trace, so she didn’t dare to mention that she’d been injured when she returned.
Unexpectedly, while the wound healed, the hair wasn’t going to grow back anytime soon.
"Niannian, do you know what happened?"
Gu Nian was feeling down when she heard Mrs. Jiang ask her this.
Gu Nian blinked and said, "I don’t know."
"Forget it, if you don’t know, you don’t know, the hair will grow back eventually." Lin Sanshui said and then looked at Mrs. Jiang, "Make sure to cover this spot on the scalp while combing the child’s hair in the meantime."
Gu Nian’s expression stiffened a bit, so she quickly mentioned that she agreed to cook for Nan Jin Yu to change the subject.
Regarding this, Lin Sanshui and Mrs. Jiang naturally had no objections.
To them, cooking was no big deal, but an opportunity to earn money was rare.
However, they needed Gu Nian to go to their home to do it, and Lin Sanshui was a bit worried that the child was too young to handle it.
At midday, Gu Nian called Erhu, "Second Brother, can you come with me to Young Master Nan’s place?"
Erhu was eager about this, "Sure thing, Little Sis, just let me know if there’s anything you need to prepare."
He wasn’t interested in cooking, but he was very interested in eating, and even if he couldn’t eat, it was good enough to gain some insight.
That Young Master Nan was so generous, he surely wouldn’t skimp on food, and seeing it firsthand would give him plenty to boast about.
Moreover, he wasn’t comfortable with his little sister going alone.
Plus, after what happened yesterday, Erhu had already decided in his heart that he must stick close to his little sister and never let her make the slightest mistake again.
In the courtyard, Nan Jin Yu was sitting by a stone table under a tree, holding a book, with tea utensils spread out on the table.
His posture was leisurely yet exuded nobility.
"Miss Gu has arrived!" Wuxin came out from the room just in time to see Gu Nian walking over with Erhu.
Nan Jin Yu slightly lifted his eyes and glanced forward, did not speak, but did curve his lips into a smile.
Gu Nian nodded, "Sorry, I overslept this morning and didn’t come over. Have you prepared the ingredients?"
Honestly, yesterday she was only thinking about getting rescued and didn’t think too much; now that she thought about it, she felt a little short-changed.
This shortcoming wasn’t about money.
But cooking three meals a day, and she’s just a 6-year-old little cutie, not yet grown, and soon becoming a cooking lady.
It reminded her of those days, so young, being constantly stuck in the kitchen by her dad, life was simply bleak.
"Everything’s ready, all in the kitchen, just waiting for Miss Gu to come over." Wuxin saw Gu Nian’s bitter little face and found it surprisingly cute.
This girl, does she know how many people want to curry favor with their master but have no way, yet she has this chance and even complains?
Does she know, as long as she pleases their master, not just a little village chief in Taohua Village, even a County Magistrate would have to bow and scrape in front of her.
