    Editor:Henyee Trantions


    Although Gu Chaoyan nned to send Tian Jiu to school, she didn’t want him to be a mere bookworm. Her intention was to nurture someone who could contribute to both business and family matters. This, she believed, would ensure a better future for Ms. Wang and her two sisters.


    This was the underlying reason behind her decision to adopt Tian Jiu.


    However, Gu Chaoyan had initially only intended to take Tian Jiu with her. To her surprise, Danxia and Dandong expressed a desire to join as well.


    Gu Chaoyan found herself facing a headache.


    While Danxia and Dandong were sensible, they were still children, prone to asional mischievousness.


    After some consideration, instead of rejecting them outright, Gu Chaoyan said, “Dandong, you’re still young. This time, you’ll stay at home with Mother to take care of her. Danxia wille with us first. I n to buy a carriage when we go to the city, making it more convenient and faster for us. Once the carriage is purchased, can you bring Mother and Dandong along? I’ll take you to the city to y and buy candied haws.”


    Gu Chaoyan addressed Dandong, considering her young age and fearing she might miss out on important moments while busy with her purchases.


    Although Dandong’s face disyed a hint of regret, she quickly regained herposure. Her eyes sparkled as she nodded in agreement. “Okay.”


    “…”<div>


    “If my sister had a carriage, she would surely take me out to y every day. I’m not in a hurry to go now.” Dandong exined, ensuring her sister didn’t feel any pressure.


    Gu Chaoyan smiled.


    The child, Dandong, demonstrated remarkable consideration, intelligence, and an ability to see the bigger picture. Gu Chaoyan admired her foresight and long-term vision.


    Following their discussion, the next day Gu Chaoyan took Tian Jiu and Danxia into the city. With no one else sharing the ox cart, Gu Chaoyan paid for the round trip, understanding that the cart might not return empty when bringing people back to the vige.


    Upon entering the city, their first task was to purchase a carriage. Bulls were already expensive, and horses would be even pricier. The entire carriage amounted to 20 taels of silver, a considerable sum in the North Vige. Fortunately, Gu Chaoyan, thanks to her ginseng sales, was financially well-off and didn’t need to worry about the cost.


    After booking the carriage, she instructed Tian Jiu to inform the ox cart to return. It could pick up passengers on its way back to the city.


    Now equipped with a carriage, they started their shopping. Both Tian Jiu and Danxia, despite their young age, were smart and diligent, making the process efficient. They concluded their purchaseste into the day.


    For the return journey, Gu Chaoyan took the reins of the wagon. While she couldn’t rush, she was fully qualified to drive the carriage.


    During the ride back, Gu Chaoyan contemted the wagon. While she could manage it in her presence, she realized that once her mission wasplete and she left, someone else needed to be capable of handling it.


    Her attention remained on the Tian family.


    Alternatively, she could find someone trustworthy in the vige.


    In any case, she aimed to gradually address these matters during this period.


    It was almost dark, and there was no one in the vige, so their carriage went back smoothly.


    When Ms. Wang and Dandong heard the voice, they hurriedly came over to wee them.
