“Oh! By the way, Mother, what are we going to do with the vegetables in our field? The four of us won’t be able to finish them all!” Gu Xin thought of the vegetable field at home again, and her face was full of worry.
“Xin Xin, can we use the cabbage and radishes to make spicy cabbage and dried radishes?” Gu Nian asked.
“What are spicy cabbage and dried radishes?” Gu Xin looked at Gu Nian blankly.
“They’re used for cooking. They’re very delicious. If we can’t finish them, we can sell them,” Gu Nian said.
Gu Xin shook her head and said guiltily, “Sister, I don’t know how to make the dried radishes and spicy cabbage that you mentioned.”
“I know how to! Take me to the kitchen to look for seasonings. We’ll start cooking after breakfast!” Gu Nian rolled up her sleeves and did as she was told.
She finally knew that the original owner did not enter the kitchen at all and left everything to her younger sister.
The original owner’s parents did not care either. Which village girl did not know how to do kitchen work?
She had no memory, so she did not know that the original owner was indeed good at embroidery. The embroidery could be sold for money, but Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian always accepted it.
The couple saw that the original owner could sell her embroidery for money, so they naturally treated her well. They would not criticize her if she did not do housework.
The mother and daughter came to the kitchen. Gu Xin asked Gu Nian what seasoning she needed.
Gu Nianzhi said it.
“Sister, there’s only salt in the house.” Gu Xin held the salt shaker.
Gu Nian: “…”
Cai Xiaolian: “…”
Imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Gu Nian took the salt shaker and looked at it. Oh, the salt shaker in the house had bottomed out. It was only enough for cooking today.
Cai Xiaolian took a closer look and was speechless.
Gu Xin understood what her mother and sister meant. There wasn’t enough salt, so she said, “Sister, how much salt do you need? I’ll go to my grandparents’ house to borrow it.”
Cai Xiaolian shook her head. “No need, no need. Your father gave me a tael of silver last night. Let’s go to town this afternoon to buy it.”
Speaking of borrowing salt, a picture appeared in Cai Xiaolian’s mind. Gu Xin had gone to the old house to borrow salt. Her aunt had said a few harsh words to her, and Gu Xin’s face had turned red. As for the original owner, Cai Xiaolian, she had been hiding outside. When Gu Xin had borrowed the salt, she had scolded Gu Xin for being useless and said that she only borrowed a little.
Therefore, Cai Xiaolian would not let Gu Xin borrow salt no matter what.
The grandfather of the Gu family was good to Gu Xin, but the grandmother was the same to everyone. It was hard to tell which son and grandchild she liked in the family. Oh, no, it was not the same. The grandmother of the Gu family was especially fierce to Gu Shouxin and even chased him out.
“Mother, don’t you need to save the silver to pay off father’s debt? Grandfather just said that if Father doesn’t have the silver after ten days, he would let me go to his place,” Gu Xin said.
“No need. Your dad will think of a way to pay off his debt. Okay, Nian Nian, make breakfast first. I’ll light the fire with Xin Xin. In the afternoon, we’ll go to the Zhou family town together!” Cai Xiaolian shook her head.
Yesterday, the debt collector was forced to give her two taels of silver. At night, Gu Shouxin gave her one tael and asked her to buy some necessities for the family.
Cai Xiaolian learned from the memory of the original owner that one tael of silver could buy a lot of things.
So, she planned to take her two daughters to the town later.
The town was so close, and Gu Xin was already ten years old, but she hadn’t been there yet. It was quite pitiful.
Gu Xin, who was about to go to the kitchen door to light the fire, suddenly stiffened and clenched her fists. She said in a panic, “Mom, Sister, I’m going to the bathroom!”
Gu Xin ran out of the kitchen and went to the bathroom. She looked around and then opened her hand. A jade bead appeared in her palm.
