Here at the cattle market, the sellers only had cows; the cart was placed not far away, so he had to lead the cow to the cart.
Just then, Gu Nian felt her opportunity had arrived.
"Dad, I want to watch the cows here. Can you go by yourself, please?" Gu Nian said cautiously.
But Lin Sanshui refused without even thinking, "How can that be done? There are all kinds of people here in the cattle market. It's too dangerous for a little kid to stay here. What would we do if you got lost?"
After pondering, perhaps realizing his tone was a bit harsh, Lin Sanshui softened his voice and said, "Niannian, be a good girl. How about we go to the cart first, and later dad will accompany you back to watch the cows for as long as you like, okay?"
Gu Nian frowned, looking somewhat reluctant, "Dad, I'm already 6 years old. Don't treat me as if I'm unable to take care of myself, okay? Look over there, aren't there several boys playing by themselves?"
