Gu Nian responded well with her words, but she had other thoughts in her mind.
After arriving in town, she first sent Dahu to the restaurant and helped Erhu set up his stall. Only then did Gu Nian say, "Second Brother, you, Third Brother, and Little Brother stay here to sell jelly. Cuihua and I will take the ox cart to look at the fruit trees!"
"Didn't Mom say to wait for us to go together?" Erhu asked.
"That would waste too much time," Gu Nian deliberately said. "Besides, the orchard isn't far, I'll just go take a look and come back. And with Cuihua being so skilled, there's no need to worry about safety, right?"
Erhu thought for a moment, and indeed, she was right.
But he still wasn't entirely at ease and reminded her, "All right, all right, since Dad and Mom aren't here, I can't control you. But be careful, if anything happens to you and you go back, Dad and Mom will definitely skin me alive."
