Chapter 211: Chapter 210: It Feels So Good to Swear Outloud"Big sister!" A delicate voice called out from behind her, and Gu Youyou recognized it as Gu Xiaolian’s. She turned around and saw that Gu Xiaolian had grown even thinner, cradling a baby in her arms, who appeared to be about two months old but was similarly skinny. However, Gu Youyou counted the days and realized the child should be close to four months old by now. "Daya!" Gu Xiaolian smiled and said, "Big sister, you’ve arrived early. I almost didn’t make it in time." The custom here was that guests must arrive before the ceremony starts, and Gu Dabao’s ceremony was about to begin, so she indeed almost missed it. Gu Youyou also smiled and said, "It’s okay as long as you made it. I just got here myself. Ah, this must be Lanxin, right?" Previously, Gu Youyou had heard that Gu Xiaolian had given birth to a daughter named Chen Lanxin, and this was her first time seeing her. The child looked frail and weak, causing Gu Xiaolian’s smile to stiffen slightly. She subconsciously pulled the cloth covering the child a bit higher and said, "Yes, Lanxin is a little timid." Gu Youyou noticed the child’s jaundiced, sallow complexion, resembling an unresolved jaundice, and just after a glance, Gu Xiaolian covered the child’s head. Knowing that Gu Xiaolian didn’t want to worry the family, she didn’t point it out directly. For the sake of the little child, she simply said, "If you have time, come to Jisheng Hall with the child. I’m currently an apprentice there." Though Gu Xiaolian had a meek personality, she wasn’t foolish. Gu Youyou believed she would understand the implication. "Thank you, big sister!" Feeling Gu Youyou’s concern, Gu Xiaolian’s eyes moistened. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... Now, Jin Zijin no longer hunted and spent all day cooped up at home with Yue Rujing, while Gu Youyou was very busy, helping out at Jisheng Hall during the day and only returning at night. It was like she was the breadwinner, supporting a dog and two grown men. Staring at the rice in her bowl and a plate of vegetables on the table, she got angry, "I rented this house, the grain you’re eating is what I bought, and the vegetables are grown in my yard. Don’t you two grown men feel ashamed?" And you can’t just eat vegetables meal after meal. Who could endure this compared to the days when there was always wild game to eat? The vegetables in the yard were nearly uprooted; even the ones in the vegetable patch were left over from the previous tenant. Jin Zijin swallowed his food calmly and said seriously, "Youyou, if you’re craving something tasty, I’ll go into the mountains tomorrow and bring back some game for you." Having spent a long time with Gu Youyou, Jin Zijin understood her thoughts well; she was fed up with the vegetables and indirectly chided them as well. Yue Rujing, however, thought that Gu Youyou was just impoverished and felt bad for mooching. Fumbling in his pocket, he took out a coin purse and tossed it on the table with an air of authority, "This silver should be enough to buy this courtyard. I’m not eating for free, am I?" Gu Youyou glared fiercely at him and snatched up the coin purse. "So what if you have a little money? It doesn’t impress me. Get to work. Tomorrow, clear all the weeds in the yard, replant new seeds where the garden is bare, prune the pear tree in the courtyard, and build a bigger shelter for Abao. If you do a poor job, get out!" It had been a long time since she had scolded someone like that, and it felt great! Jin Zijin only glanced at Gu Youyou in mild surprise, then coolly picked up his hunting tools and went out to sharpen them in the yard. Yue Rujing looked at Jin Zijin, wanting to say something, but seeing that he had already slipped away, he stayed quiet, simply swallowing hard and silently started to clear the table. That was the little meaning behind her stern scolding. The demeanor of a domineering CEO is innate, not something to be trifled with.
