"Okay."
Lin Sanshui took the peach from Gu Nian's hand, found a clean spot on the butcher's stand to place it, then handed over five copper coins before grabbing the bucket and the meat, also letting Gu Nian hold onto his shirt tail as they left.
"You, girl, are so extravagant! Just wait until we get home, your mother will nag us to death!" Lin Sanshui complained.
Gu Nian burst out laughing, "Dad, are you that afraid of mom?"
"Nonsense, your dad's the head of the house, why would I fear her, an old woman?" Lin Sanshui immediately glared and puffed out his chest, but feeling a bit guilty, he began to make excuses for fearing his wife, "I respect your mother. I don't have much ability, and she hasn't had a comfortable day since marrying me. Her family values sons over daughters and would rather sell a daughter to support a son. Just imagine, if I don't treat her well, how miserable would her life be?"
