Child Bride?

When Gu Nian woke up, the sky was already bright.

She got up to put on her clothes and went out. She saw Lin Sanshui carrying a large basket on his back and a rabbit in his hand. He was about to leave.

"Father, where are you going? Didn't you say you go to the mountains with us?" Gu Nian looked at his equipment in confusion. It seemed Lin Sanshui would not be back for a short while.

Lin Sanshui then remembered that he had not told the children about his trip to town today. "Nian Nian, I forgot to tell you yesterday. I have to go to town today to pick up your big brother and second brother, so I can't accompany you to the mountains. Let's wait until tomorrow, okay?"

Gu Nian's eyes lit up as she ran over to Lin Sanshui and tugged at his sleeve. "Father, I've never been to town before. Can I go with you?"

Most of the original owner's memories were about her difficult life with her mother and brother. There were not many useful memories, and she had never been to the town.

Gu Nian wanted to take a look and understand the world. Only then would she know where she should start to get rich.

Although the interspace was handy, she had to be wary of the sinister human heart. She did not intend to expose herself.

Lin Sanshui had business to attend to in town. Bringing a child along would only bring trouble to himself!

He wanted to reject Gu Nian without hesitation. However, when he lowered his head and saw Gu Nian's expectant look, he could not say no to her.

Gu Nian was happy, but Lin Sanshui was stiff.

"Mother, I'm going to town with Father to pick up Big Brother and Second Brother!" Gu Nian shouted as she rushed into the main room.

"Alright, be careful on the road." Mrs. Jiang was still puzzled. Didn't Lin Sanshui usually hate looking after the children when he had something to do? He disliked them for walking too slowly and being in the way.

Why was he willing to take Nian Nian with him this time? Furthermore, it was a long journey to town.

Suddenly, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but laugh.

They had too many sons, so Lin Sanshui must have a soft spot for Gu Nian.

Lin Sanshui had initially planned to go to the town alone. Now, he brought Gu Nian along. He was carrying the rabbit, so he could not carry her. The journey was not short, so Lin Sanshui changed his mind and decided to take the mule cart.

The driver was Old Wang from the neighboring village. He was in his 40s or 50s and made a living by doing this. It cost one cent per person and two cents for a round trip, which was not expensive.

Lin Sanshui handed over two wens and helped Gu Nian into the cart.

There were already a few people in the carriage. Gu Nian could only squeeze into Lin Sanshui's lap as Lin Sanshui used one of his arms to prevent Gu Nian from falling.

Since Gu Nian was reborn as a child, she had to act like one. Gu Nian could not complain about it and could only give in.

However, this was only temporary.

Gu Nian made up her mind as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Soon, she wouldn't buy a mule cart but an ox or donkey cart. That way, she wouldn't have to squeeze with others.

"Third Brother, she must be the child bride for your son, right? You're quite pretty. Why didn't you stay home and learn to do housework from your future mother-in-law? You're just a child. What are you doing in town?" The person who spoke was surnamed Zhang, and people called her Mrs. Zhang. She was Xiaoniu's mother and was also the village's famous big mouth. She was a chatterbox.

Gu Nian glanced at Mrs. Zhang coldly and ignored her.

Talking to such a person would not only lower her status but also make things more complicated.

Lin Sanshui, on the other hand, was unhappy. "Mrs. Zhang, it's better to be more careful with what you say. Don't be so talkative and tell others everything. We see Nian Nian as our family's biological daughter, not some child bride."
