CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 175: SILLY GIRL

Damn, this girl isn’t just a little dumb; she’s really dumb!

Gu Nian’s eyes widened instantly, and she rushed forward in a panic, saying, "Quick, put my mom down!"

Seeing Gu Nian’s anxious look, the dumb girl was first stunned, then slowly placed Mrs. Jiang on the ground.

Mrs. Jiang only felt the world spinning, and without caring about her image, she sat down on the ground, looking quite scared.

Gu Nian hurried to check on Mrs. Jiang, concerned, "Mom, are you alright?"

The dumb girl realized she seemed to have done something wrong, and stood there with her head hanging, her hands awkwardly tangled together, glancing uneasily toward Mrs. Jiang and Gu Nian, silent.

"Still alive!" Getting into such a situation, Mrs. Jiang felt she was terribly unlucky.

It took a long time before she finally calmed down and stood up from the ground.

She gave the dumb girl a fierce glare, raised a finger as if to scold her, but recalling the recent scare, she pulled her hand back.

"Gu Nian, if you bring this fool home, we won’t be able to live anymore!" This is worse than Lin Pandi. At least Lin Pandi isn’t mentally challenged and is quite diligent.

Gu Nian watched Mrs. Jiang get up and leave, forgetting her things, then looked back at the dumb girl, not daring to provoke Mrs. Jiang again.

However, when she tried to lift the big bundle of cotton, she found she couldn’t move it at all; the huge bundle dragged on the ground, far beyond her ability to carry.

Seeing Gu Nian struggling, the dumb girl stepped forward, easily picked up the bundle, and with the other hand, swiftly lifted Gu Nian, seating her small bottom on her arm.

"I’m strong, I can carry you!"

The dumb girl couldn’t speak clearly, but she sure knew what to do when needed.

Afraid of falling, Gu Nian could only wrap her arms around her neck.

Now she truly believed it, this girl was indeed quite strong.

And yes, quite dumb.

The key is, she likes it!

Someone like her, holding so many secrets, just needed a helpful but strong sidekick like this one.

"Just put me down and carry the stuff; we’ll catch up to my mom." After thinking about it, Gu Nian couldn’t let go of such a talented person.

"Okay." The dumb girl put Gu Nian on the ground, slinging the big bundle on her back, obediently standing behind Gu Nian.

When Gu Nian started running forward, she followed along.

Not far behind the corner, an old man secretly peeked his head out. Seeing his daughter successfully latch onto someone, he wiped his forehead anxiously with a hand.

He glanced at the silver in his hand, quickly tucking it away, looking happily surprised.

Not until the dumb girl’s figure disappeared ahead did the old man turn around and leave, somewhat sullenly.

Gu Nian kept up with Mrs. Jiang, with the dumb girl not doing anything stupid again, just honestly following them.

During this, Mrs. Jiang turned back to glare at Gu Nian, with a hint of blame in her eyes.

But alas, she was defeated by Gu Nian’s coquettish glance.

When they returned to Erhu’s stall, the two buckets of cold jelly he brought were almost sold out.

Sanhu and Little Hu took a break from their busyness and ran over, asking Gu Nian, "Little sis, who is the person that came back with you? Did you see how she was practically drooling over our cold jelly?"

The tone of the conversation didn’t avoid Mrs. Jiang at all, only earning them a sharp glare from her.

"Haha!" Gu Nian forced a stiff smile and recounted the recent events without holding back.
