In their eyes, a 6-year-old child wouldn’t understand too much, so there was no guard against it.
But no one would have guessed that Gu Nian’s 6-year-old body housed the soul of an adult.
"Mrs. Zhang deserves it, that old woman has never been a good person. She used to be sowhat better when she didn’t have a son. Ever since she had Little Niu, she’s beco more and more arrogant. As for Little Niu, spoiled beyond repair at such a young age, selfish and vicious, it’s not going to be easy for him to change even if he tries. As for Lin Man, a grown man who can’t even control his own wife, a complete useless wretch!" Mrs. Jiang sighed and continued, "I just pity the daughters in their family. From birth, they’ve been neglected, and over the years, they’ve been beaten and scolded by that woman Zhang, everyone in the village has seen it. They’ve been out this ti, who knows what hardships they’ve suffered again!"
Especially the older Zhaodi and Pandi, who’ve been working since they learned to walk, they’ve never had a good day growing up.
Mrs. Jiang thought of the scene when she just saw those girls, each covered in wounds, their faces yellow and gaunt, looking like skin stretched over skeletons, frightening to see.
"It’s people’s own kids, we can’t interfere." Lin Sanshui reminded her.
Not to ntion, given the current situation between their family and Lin Man’s.
"I know, I was just sighing!" Mrs. Jiang said.
Gu Nian took advantage of the mont when Lin Sanshui was alone to secretly pull him aside and say, "Dad, can I use the roast duck you bought?"
"What do you want to do?" Lin Sanshui stared at him and asked.
Gu Nian chuckled a couple of tis, "Dad, look, Young Master Nan has been teaching to read and write for so long, and I’ve never shown any appreciation. If you let have your roast duck, I’ll buy you two next ti we go to town, and I’ll get you so liquor too, alright?"
"Alright my foot, for the first ti in decades, I’ve mustered the courage to buy Jufu Restaurant’s roast duck, and you want to get two at once, do you want a spanking?" Lin Sanshui said, not amused.
"Dad, are you going to give it to or not?" Gu Nian pleaded with him.
"I’ll give it to you, my daughter asked, how can I refuse!" Lin Sanshui said.
"Thank you, Dad!" Gu Nian smiled happily and ran off to get the things.
When Gu Nian arrived, Nan Jin Yu was practicing calligraphy alone.
She waited until he finished writing and put down the pen before she asked, "Brother Nan, don’t you feel stifled being cooped up inside all day like this?"
In Gu Nian’s mory, since Nan Jin Yu ca to this village, the only ti she saw him go out was the night she fell into the water, the rest of the ti, he was at most moving around in the yard.
"Once you get used to it, it’s fine." Nan Jin Yu smiled and asked her, "Why did you co at this ti?"
Once you get used to it, it’s fine. He spoke calmly, but how much bitterness those words contained!
Gu Nian forced a smile, "I went to town today and bought our town’s most famous pastries and roast duck. I brought it for Brother Nan to try."
Nan Jin Yu glanced at the oil paper package beside her and chuckled, "Since that’s the case, stay and have lunch with later, then."
"Oh, okay."
Gu Nian unconsciously rolled her big, black eyes, and after a mont, stood up from the small stool and walked over to Nan Jin Yu, "Brother Nan, can I ask you sothing?"
"Ask away." Nan Jin Yu looked at her calmly and said.
