“I know. It costs about five thousand or so. I’ll earn the tuition money and the living expenses for me and Xiao An to study in the city. I don’t need to use the money at home.”
Gu Jin turned her head as she said that and took a big ladle. Then, she put the braised wild boar head into a small aluminum basin for the family to eat.
Without a doubt, the moment Chen Hong heard that Gu Jin would not use the money at home, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still did not support the opening of a stall.
Gu Jiajie squinted and looked at his cousin sister as he casually said, “Some time ago, when I went to the county with Yuanzi, I found that many people had set up stalls there. No one cares anymore, and it’s possible to buy whatever you can think of there.”
“Really?” Grandpa Gu asked.
“Yeah, you can ask Yuanzi if you don’t believe me. We were surprised back then and finally knew that setting up stalls is allowed now. The checks are also very lax without any sudden clampdowns.”
Gu Jin could tell that her cousin brother was speaking up for her, and she put the meat in the aluminum basin onto the table as she took a deep look at Gu Jiajie.
“Grandpa, Uncle, Auntie, give this braised wild boar head a try.”
She took out the bowls and served all of them.
Chen Hong still had a pissed look on her face, but seeing that the old man said nothing else after questioning her son, she did not know what else to say.
Grandpa Gu sat down at the table and the others followed suit.
“Give it a taste. It won’t taste as good once it’s cold.”
“Delicious!”
Gu Minmin, who had been totally silent, exclaimed when she first bit into the braised wild boar head.
Everyone else was the same, the braised wild boar head was so delicious that they nearly bit their own tongue. They had never eaten such delicious meat before in their lives.
Gu Jiajie ate several pieces of it before he eagerly looked up at Gu Jin. “Xiao Jin, this braised pork will definitely sell! It’s delicious!”
Gu Jin smiled and nodded as she looked at the rest of the Gu Family.
Uncle Gu was burying his face in the food. Meanwhile, Chen Hong still looked pissy, but her expression was much better than before.
Grandpa Gu swallowed the fragrant, melt-in-your-mouth-but-not-greasy braised meat, and looked up at Gu Jin.
“Jin, you can go and sell this, but don’t let people find out that you are a child of the Gu Family. If anything happens, no one can help you. As for the rest, do as you see fit.”
Grandpa Gu had no choice but to say that. His eldest son and daughter-in-law were around, and they too had their own concerns, so he could no longer help the girl.
However, when he opened his mouth, it was akin to him agreeing with Gu Jin’s decision to set up a stall.
Gu Jin smiled. “Understood. Thanks, Grandpa.”
She knew that the moment her grandfather spoke, the matter of her setting up a stall was settled.
Gu Jiajie, who was sitting at a corner, looked at Gu Jin with admiration upon hearing their grandfather’s words.
What Gu Jin had done today was something he had been preparing for a long time.
He had stopped going to school after he graduated from junior high school. He could not just stay idle like this all day, and his pocket money was also regulated. It frustrated him.
Some time ago, he had a discussion with his two friends on whether they should go sell something or hawk something.
Before he could do anything, his own cousin sister had already made a move, and he was a little envious at that moment.
After everyone was done eating the braised wild boar head, Gu Dechang took out the money pouch and put it on the table.
“The money from the meat sales is all in here.”
Gu Jin took the money pouch and poured its contents onto the open space on the table.
“Whoa! That’s a lot of money!”
It was the first time Gu Minmin had seen so much money. The green notes sure were pretty.
