Chapter 49: Was Injured

Gu Xin was happily eating her meat bun. She looked at her mother, her sister, and then at her father. Just as she was about to routinely beg God to let their family continue like this, she noticed a bright red scar on Gu Shouxin’s hand. The bun immediately lost its fragrance, and she stopped moving. She asked, “Father, what happened to your hand?”
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian looked over as well.
They could tell at a glance that the wound on his arm was a knife wound. It hadn’t scabbed yet and was bright red.
Gu Shouxin calmly tugged at his sleeve and switched to holding the bun in his other hand. He said, “I took the side road when I came back. It was dark again and I couldn’t see clearly, so I got hung up by a tree thorn. It’s no big deal. I’ll be fine in two days.”
“Dad, be careful in the future! Don’t get hung up again. It hurts a lot. I went to the back mountain with my cousin last year to carry firewood and got hung up. It hurt for a few days before I got better.” Gu Xin was relieved to see Gu Shouxin acting like nothing had happened.
“You! You’re the only one in the family who worries. No wonder you can’t grow tall. Come and eat another bun.” Gu Nian put another bun in Gu Xin’s bowl.
“Hehe, Sister, Grandpa said I grew tall because my parents and sister were both tall. I wasn’t a child that was picked up. It was Grandma who watched me come out of my mother’s womb. I’m not tall because I’m still young.” Gu Xin picked up the bun. She smiled foolishly.
She used to be very sad about the issue of height because the girls in the village who were her age were all taller than her.
At that time, she had asked Cai Xiaolian and was scolded by Cai Xiaolian.
Later, the attentive Grandpa Gu found out that she had been depressed for the past few days and asked her about it with concern. He knew the crux of the problem and comforted her in detail.
Now, she didn’t have to worry about her height anymore.
The transmigration trio instantly felt that Grandpa Gu was a good person. He was really too good.
Little Xin Xin didn’t have any psychological trauma. She was still filial to her parents and attached to her sister. It was all because of Grandpa Gu, who had been teaching Little Xin Xin a positive and sunny life.
“Yes, Xin Xin is still young. So, remember to eat more so that you can grow taller, just like your parents and sister.” Gu Shouxin gently scooped a bowl of soup for Gu Xin. There were a lot of egg flowers in the soup.
After a full meal, Gu Xin was tired and wanted to sleep.
After watching the things that Gu Shouxin bought, she couldn’t help but wash up and go to bed.
Before going to bed, the jade fish in her hand spat out another bead. She put it beside the pillow and turned around in her sleep. Without her knowledge, the jade bead went into her mouth again.
In the central room, the three of them waited for a while to make sure that Gu Xin was asleep before they got down to business.
“Dad, you didn’t get your hand cut off at the gambling den, did you? I’m not as gullible as Xin Xin. I know it’s a knife wound,” Gu Nian said with concern.
“That’s right! Why are you fighting so hard? You’re not 9,000 years old. You’re just a gambler from San Cha Kou Village, Gu Shouxin. Do you think others will give you face? They might even rob and kill you on the way,” Cai Xiaolian added.
“It’s okay, some people just can’t afford to lose. I spent a part of the silver here to buy things, and there’s still 400 taels left. Other than the 300 taels, I’ve exchanged all the rest for broken silver.” Gu Shouxin took out a money bag, inside it were three 100-taels silver notes and a pile of broken silver.
“How much are you betting?” Because Cai Xiaolian had memory, she could calculate the purchasing power of 400 taels.
