A family of four sat in a row on a long bench at the entrance of the main house. Gu Shouxin had a basket of eggs in his arms. All four of them looked at the eggs in the basket.

The vegetables in the vegetable field had all matured overnight.

The chickens in the chicken coop laid two eggs every day.

What was going on!?

“Let's wait and see if it will still be like this tomorrow. Xiao Lian, Nian Nian, Xin Xin, let's not touch the vegetable field today. Let's see what will happen when we wake up tomorrow morning.” Gu Shouxin pondered for a long time but could not come up with anything. He could only wait and see what would happen tomorrow.

“Okay!” The mother and daughters nodded in unison.

“Nian Nian, Xin Xin, you go and make dinner. Your mother and I will collect all the vegetables in the field outside. We will keep some for the next few days. As for the rest, I will bring them to the town tomorrow to sell them.” Gu Shouxin finished speaking and handed the basket to Gu Nian.

The two sisters went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

“Xiao Lian, I plan to go to Yu Zhou Capital tomorrow. It might take three days. Don't be afraid at home with the child. If you have any problems, go to the old residence and look for our parents.” Gu Shouxin took out the kitchen knife and spoke as he worked.

“Is it about the silver?” Cai Xiaolian asked. She thought for a moment and stopped what she was doing. “9000 years old, can you tell me how to solve the silver problem? 300 taels in ten days. Do you plan to be a masked robber?”

Gu Shouxin shook his head. “Where the silver is gone, I will go and find it.”

“You mean the gambling house? You are going to gamble?” Cai Xiaolian said in surprise.

“Just this once. I only have one tael of silver in my hand. This morning, when I went to the dock to work as a coolie, it was only thirty taels. Oh right, don't tell Xin Xin about this. If this girl finds out, she'll probably be worried. I'm just going to settle the gambling debts left behind by the original owner. At the same time, I'll get some silver for us to keep in case we need it,” Gu Shouxin said.

“Are you very good at gambling?” Cai Xiaolian asked curiously.

“I can win a little money, but if I win too much, I'll be in trouble. So, when I go to Yu Prefecture, there shouldn't be anyone there who knows me.” Gu Shouxin did not deny it.

“Alright, you should be careful when you go out by yourself. The three of us are at home, and the old mansion is close to us. Nothing will happen to us. We won't be afraid if Zhang Pipi and the others come again. Our chanting skills are pretty good,” Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.

Gu Nian was a talented person, both in modern times and in ancient times.

Something had happened to their family when Gu Nian was born. In the end, it was only brother and sister. Gu Nian was more than ten years younger than her brother, so she was practically raised by her brother. When she was three or four years old, she was not in good health, and her brother happened to be in college, therefore, she was sent to a Taoist temple to be raised. When she was twelve, it was time for her to start junior high school. Her brother had already gotten married, had children, and became a small leader before he brought her back.

Gu Nian then lived with her brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece until she graduated.

The kung fu disciples were trained together with Taoist priests from a young age in the Taoist temple.

Although she left the Taoist temple later on, she did not slacken on her martial arts training.

…

Soon, a fragrant smell came from the kitchen. Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian also packed the radish, cabbage, and cuc.u.mber, and eggplant that were to be sold the next day into bamboo baskets. Each of them could be filled to the brim with three bamboo baskets. Just like that, they also kept a lot of food for their own family.

Their vegetable garden was also very big.

Gu Xin ran out cheerfully and shouted, “Father, Mother, it's time to eat. Sister's cooking smells so good!”
