Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Nian: “?”
A sentence suddenly popped up in her mind: she had been forced to get married after traveling through time.
She shook her head. “No, no, no. Um, Dad, 9,000 years old Dad! I’m only 14, so I can’t get married! I have to be 20 or after before I can get married.”
Gu Nian seriously suspected that this 9,000-year-old was complaining that she was wasting food at home.
Cai Xiaolian nodded under Gu Shouxin’s questioning gaze. “That’s right. In our country, um, the Imperial Court stipulates that a man must be 22 years old and a woman must be 20 years old before they can get married.”
Gu Shouxin was silent for a moment. He said, “If that’s the case, then we’ll talk about it in the future! From now on, they would have to rely on the two of you to manage the family’s life. Xin Xin is still young. She does not have enough food to eat and clothes to warm herself. She also did most of the work at home and looks like a six-year-old child. Therefore, I hope that the two of you can do more in the future so that Xin Xin can do less. Of course, I’m not the kind of person who only reads sage books. I know how to do things.”
Gu Nian felt a little wronged.
Everyone wore clothes. Why couldn’t she get the love and care of her parents?
In her previous life, she had no parents, but she had a brother and sister-in-law!
That damned nephew of hers!
Gu Shouxin had seen all kinds of people, so how could he not see Gu Nianzhi’s wronged expression? He smiled and said, “Gu Nian, because you’re like us, I don’t treat you like a child. Now that our father-daughter relationship has been formed, I will take on the responsibility of being a father.”
Gu Nian looked at Gu Shouxin in surprise. She felt that this person could read minds!
Cai Xiaolian kept feeling that the situation was a little strange, but when she thought about how strange it was for the three of them to come from different places at the same time, she didn’t think too much about it.
She spoke her thoughts out loud. “I used to be in business, and business is business. How about this? Since we’ve just met and our identities have been decided, why don’t we treat this family as a business? Our goal is to make this business a good one. Since we’ve come to this world, we should live a good life. Live a comfortable life and leave no regrets. I only have one thought. I can’t live a worse life than before. So, I’m going to continue doing business. I can do laundry and cleaning, but I can’t cook. It’s really hard to swallow. Gu Nian, what can you do?”
Gu Nian felt that Cai Xiaolian had a good saying: Live a comfortable life and leave no regrets.
So she said, “I’m studying for my PhD in biology. You can give me the responsibility of cooking. My parents died when I was young, and my brother brought me up. Apart from studying, I love delicious food and can cook even if I know how to eat. Of course, Mother, if you want to sell soap or cosmetics, I can also make them for you. But I’m only responsible for making them.”
Cai Xiaolian’s eyes lit up. Oh, a PhD student!
Gu Nian had suffered a little blow from Gu Shouxin just now, but she managed to get it back from Cai Xiaolian. “Mother, although I have the skills, we don’t have the capital.”
Cai Xiaolian smiled. “Daughter, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have the money! I have your father! He just said that he will give us a sum of money in a few days. Let’s use this money to test the waters!”
Then, the mother and daughter looked at Gu Shouxin together.
Gu Shouxin: “...”
Just like that, the first family meeting ended.
The three transmigrators reached an agreement. The original owner, Gu Shouxin, would be responsible for the debt. Gu Shouxin would also be responsible for the start-up capital for the family business.
From now on, Gu Nian would be responsible for three meals a day. Cai Xiaolian would be responsible for cleaning the clothes, while Gu Shouxin would be responsible for the firewood. The rest would depend on the situation.
As for Gu Xin, who was already asleep, the three of them discussed. She did not need to do anything but obediently take care of her body. At the very least, she needed to reach at least Gu En’s height and build.
