CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 115: I WON’T TAKE THE BLAME

"Do you still want to watch the ox? Daddy’s back, and I’ll watch it with you this time. You can watch however you like, I’ll make sure you enjoy it, okay?" Lin Sanshui’s words had a coaxing tone, probably because he felt his previous tone was harsh and wanted to make up for it.

Gu Nian immediately shook her head, "I’ve already watched it just now, I don’t want to watch anymore. Dad, let’s go out quickly, I want to buy some other things, bring gifts home for mom and my brothers, and I want to see if my big brother is doing well..."

Gu Nian counted on her fingers the things she wanted to do, which comforted Lin Sanshui but also made him a bit jealous, "Why does everyone in the family get a gift? Isn’t there something for dad?"

Gu Nian quickly smiled apologetically, "How could that be? The brothers are just add-ons, dad and mom are the most important!"

This explanation made Lin Sanshui laugh out loud, "You little girl really know how to talk. Alright, we won’t watch, come on, climb onto the ox cart and sit. We’ll be ox owners from now on!"

"Okay." Gu Nian happily climbed up, feeling relieved inside.

She had just secretly bought two piglets behind dad’s back, so how could she stay here any longer?

If she bumped into the uncle who sold the piglets again and he accidentally blabbed, how would she explain?

So, it’s better to leave early.

Now with money, she had to reward herself well, and Gu Nian was full of ideas about splurging.

Roast duck from Jufu Restaurant, snacks from Hundred Flavors Restaurant, all these were things Lin Sanshui never dared to imagine before, but now Gu Nian was clamoring to buy them all.

Though, there was some heartache when parting with the silver.

But seeing Gu Nian’s happy expression, it was all worth it!

Finally, Lin Sanshui took Gu Nian to the fabric shop once again.

Last time, the money they made only got Gu Nian two new outfits, but the rest of the family got nothing.

This time, Lin Sanshui directly got enough fabric for everyone in the family.

Spending days are joyous, and by the time Lin Sanshui came to his senses, he turned around to see the ox cart already half-filled.

He gave Gu Nian a reproachful look, "It’s all because of this little girl, one moment clamoring for this, another moment for that, see how much stuff we’ve bought? Going back, your mother will nag us again!"

"Hehehe..." Gu Nian laughed without any anger, "Dad, don’t even think about making me the scapegoat. You were clearly happy buying too!"

That roast duck from Jufu Restaurant was something Lin Sanshui wanted to try himself, and the rice and flour on the cart were things they couldn’t bear to eat before. Taking this chance, they had to savor the taste well.

Lin Sanshui poked her forehead with his finger, "What’s wrong with making you the scapegoat? If we say you bought it, your mom will only nag for a bit and let it go. If it’s me, she’ll nag for half a month!"

"There’s nothing we can do about it; it’s your own greediness, dad," Gu Nian teased intentionally.

Lin Sanshui hummed a little tune contentedly, "We’ve shopped enough for most of the day, let’s go to Qinglin Restaurant and check on your big brother, then we’ll head home."

"Sure." Gu Nian replied with a smile on her face.

At the back door of Qinglin Restaurant, while taking things from the cart, Lin Sanshui turned to remind Gu Nian, "Dad’s going in to take a look, you stay on the ox cart and keep an eye on our belongings, understood?"

Gu Nian nodded and tentatively asked, "Dad, do you want to ask big brother about the recipes he mentioned last time when he was home?"
