Chapter 391 How can such a tiny child have such terrifying eyes?
Lin Chang'er laughed and said, "I'm just looking for someone. It's not urgent. Since there are many of us, we can walk slowly on the road. If there are scenic spots, we can stop and cook a meal, just like a picnic."
Sister-in-law Gu jumped for joy, "I can cook on the way."
Lin Chang'er then looked at Gu Ersao, who seemed hesitant, and said, "Eldest sister-in-law often goes to town these days, but second sister-in-law, you've never been out before!"
"It just so happens that I've finished my confinement period. I think Yudian is quite well-behaved. We just need to be more diligent in potty training, use more diapers, and ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine to prevent her from getting sick from the change in environment."
"Of course, all of this is under the condition that my second sister-in-law's physical condition allows."
Gu Ersao's eyes sparkled as she gestured with her hand, "I want to go, but what about Mother?"
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Why don't we go ask Mother now? If Mother goes, then we won't have to worry about Yudian'er anymore."
Sister-in-law Gu nodded, "Okay, I'll go ask Mother."
Sister-in-law Gu rushed off, but unfortunately, Aunt Gu said that there were still so many children at home, and the workshop, sugarcane field, and seafood business all needed someone to take care of them. So, she told the three sisters-in-law to go and have fun.
As for Gu Xiaolu and Gu Xiaoman, they were going to school, so Lin Chang'er didn't bring them either. Lin Yanqing, Gu Silang, and Zhou Li were chosen by drawing lots, and Lin Yanqing was lucky enough to be chosen to accompany them.
The remaining two little ones squeaked with envy for a long time.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Aunt Gu came to knock on the door. "Chang'er, I've steamed some cakes and cooked some tofu pudding. You, Da Lang's wife, and Er Lang's wife, have breakfast before you leave. I've packed up Master Wu's portion for you to take with you when you set off."
Lin Chang'er also got up early. Hearing Aunt Gu's voice, she hurriedly opened the door. "Thank you for your hard work, Mother. I'm going to see my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Let's go down together."
Aunt Gu nodded, then took out a small cloth bag from her bosom. "I've saved some money. Take this with you. It's a rare opportunity to go out and have fun. Eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want."
Lin Chang'er was shocked and quickly stuffed the small cloth bag back to her, "Mother, I have some silver on me. You can keep it for yourself and spend it when you go out to play next time."
Aunt Gu refused, but couldn't persuade Lin Chang'er otherwise, so she just shook her head, "You child..."
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Mother, go ahead and get busy. I'll keep an eye on things with my eldest and second sisters-in-law."
Aunt Gu nodded, "Okay, you go out more often than your mother, so I won't nag you. Just make sure you have fun, okay?"
Lin Chang'er smiled and nodded, "Okay, with Mother saying that, I will definitely be happy."
Aunt Gu was relieved and waved goodbye before leaving.
Lin Chang'er was just about to go check if Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu had gotten up when a small head peeked out from the next room, "Mother."
It's a goldfish.
Lin Chang'er bent down and patted his head, "It's not time for school yet, why are you up so early?"
The little goldfish, who had been holding his hands behind his back, brought them to the front. "Mother, take this dagger with you for self-defense on the road."
Lin Chang'er looked down and saw a black iron dagger inlaid with rubies. She had asked Wu Qingfeng to help her get it back, and it was a matching pair with his small sword.
He liked it very much.
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Mother is taking it away, what will you use?"
The little goldfish grinned, "And the little sword, I'll use that."
Lin Chang'er took it, "Okay, then I'll borrow it from you for a few days. I'll return it to you when I get back."
The little goldfish nodded, and Lin Chang'er added, "When Mother isn't here, take good care of your younger brother and sister, okay?"
"I know, Mother."
Lin Chang'er patted his head again, "Alright, go back to sleep for a while, so you won't be tired during the day."
The little one hummed in agreement and said, "Have a safe journey, Mommy." Then he turned around and closed the door.
Gu Ersao woke up early, but Yudian'er was still a baby and sleeping like a little pig, so she dressed herself and sat by the bed to keep the baby company.
Although Gu Erlang was a little worried, he was still very happy that Lin Chang'er was willing to take the mother and daughter out for a walk. He got up early to check their belongings. While checking, he said, "If you feel unwell, just tell your third sister-in-law. She is knowledgeable and resourceful. Don't be afraid to bother her. If you wait until it gets serious, it will only put her in a difficult position."
Second Sister Gu nodded.
Gu Erlang added, "The prescription for water and soil incompatibility is kept with Yudian's little clothes, don't forget."
Gu Ersao nodded again. Gu Erlang scratched his head. He had little experience going out and didn't know what to tell him. So he took out a cloth bag from the bottom of the trunk. "I'll keep half of the monthly allowance that my third sister-in-law has given me these past few months, as well as the dividends from the sugar factory. You can take half for your travel expenses. Buy whatever you like. When you come back, bring some gifts for the children too."
Gu Ersao also had her own monthly allowance. She had saved some money from the market she set up at the village entrance. Her food and drink were provided by the family, and the couple always managed their own money separately.
Of course, Gu Erlang didn't refuse, after all, it was the child's father's kind gesture.
Gu Erlang looked at his son again, picked up a thin cotton swaddle blanket, and said, "It's almost time. Yudian sleeps well, so it won't bother you. Don't keep your third sister-in-law waiting."
Gu Dalang did something similar. When Lin Chang'er went over, both of her sisters-in-law were already prepared. As for Lin Yanqing, he got up even earlier. When Lin Chang'er and the others came downstairs, he had already practiced a set of stick techniques in the yard.
Liu Zi went to pick up Chen Shanzhang early in the morning. Chen Zhao was definitely going to come along. He hadn't come to Linshui Village to study in the first place. Not only did Master Chen not object, but he was also worried that Lin Chang'er and the others wouldn't have enough carriages, so he sent two carriages over early in the morning.
After having breakfast, it was already broad daylight, and the group got ready to set off.
Just as Gu Erlang had said, Yudian was sleeping soundly. The road conditions weren't very good at the moment, and the road was a bit bumpy.
The little one slept more peacefully in his mother's arms, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Lin Chang'er, along with Gu Da Sao and Gu Er Sao, couldn't help but laugh at what Lin Chang'er was seeing.
It was when Lin Chang'er passed by Guo Dabao's door that she heard the carriage make a "thump" sound.
She cautiously peeked through the curtains and saw a patch of paint missing from the carriage. Guo Dabao was standing at his door, glaring fiercely at their carriage. When they met her gaze, the ruthlessness in his eyes became even more pronounced.
Lin Chang'er was not afraid of him and glared at him fiercely. Guo Dabao was still a child after all, and he was intimidated first, so he looked away.
Lin Chang'er then lowered the carriage curtain.
Sister-in-law Gu asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Chang'er shook her head, "It's nothing!"
Both Gu's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law believed it, and the two sisters-in-law looked at Gu Yudian together.
Lin Chang'er still felt a little uneasy. How could Guo Dabao, such a tiny kid, have such a terrifying look in his eyes...?
