Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Only She Sells It
So one must have self-awareness. Knowing you have no talent in this area, it’s better to do something else that is meaningful.
For example, make money!
"It’s your decision. You can also take some books from me to study on your own. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come to me," Nan Jin Yu said.
As they were talking, a clear voice suddenly came from outside, "Cousin, I’m here..."
Just as the voice faded, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes ran in from the doorway, looking incredibly glamorous.
"Whoa, who’s this young girl? Quite cute!" Zheng Shaochen walked up to Gu Nian, openly sizing her up.
Gu Nian didn’t know the person in front of her and felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze.
Nan Jin Yu didn’t rush to respond but instead said to Gu Nian, "If you’re free, you can head back first."
"Oh, goodbye, Nan," Gu Nian said with a forced smile, waving her little hand before turning to run out.
"Nan?" Zheng Shaochen looked at Nan Jin Yu with his bright, almond-shaped eyes. "Cousin, who is that young girl? She calls you more intimately than I do!"
"If you can’t restrain your mouth, you can leave now," Nan Jin Yu said, clearly showing an impatient expression.
Zheng Shaochen had to hold back a bit, "Alright, alright, I won’t say anything more."
Casually glancing in the direction where Gu Nian had left, Nan Jin Yu’s gaze was a bit harsh when he looked at Zheng Shaochen, "Be careful with your words in the future. A girl’s reputation isn’t something to joke about, especially since she’s just a little girl. What kind of things do you keep in your head all day? Have the teachers at home taught everything to the dogs?"
Zheng Shaochen twitched the corner of his mouth. Seeing Nan Jin Yu’s stern look, he couldn’t help but feel a bit frightened inside, "Cousin, I... I was wrong, alright? Besides, it’s not entirely my fault; some people just like them young..."
Under Nan Jin Yu’s warning gaze, Zheng Shaochen wisely shut his mouth.
In fact, it wasn’t really his fault.
He hadn’t really been involved himself, it was just that a friend, a bad companion, recently bought a young girl home, claiming he would raise her to be exactly how he wanted and then gobble her up in one bite!
At the time, he thought it sounded amusing, but of course, he wouldn’t dare mention it in front of Nan Jin Yu.
"By the way, cousin, my mother asked me to thank you for the venison you sent over last night. She was afraid you wouldn’t eat or live well in the countryside and asked me to bring you some things."
"Mm, hand them over to Wuxin, alright?"
When talking to Gu Nian, Nan Jin Yu could be more talkative and playful, but with others, he wasn’t as easygoing.
With a long silence, Zheng Shaochen felt awkward and could only start a conversation out of nowhere, "By the way, cousin, where did you buy that thing called ’liangfen’ last time? It’s been hot lately, and my grandmother has had no appetite but keeps praising that ’liangfen’ she ate last time. She’s been craving it, but my father and my elder brother have searched the whole town and couldn’t find a place that sells ’liangfen’..."
With Zheng Shaochen chattering away, the study was momentarily filled with his voice.
Nan Jin Yu replied plainly, "The girl you just saw, she’s the one who made the liangfen. If you want to buy it, you’ll have to find her."
After leaving Nan Jin Yu’s place, Gu Nian did not hurry back home but instead walked towards the outskirts of the village.
As she walked, she found herself at the bank of the Great West River.
Two months ago, her father picked her up right from here.
