CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: THE JADE PENDANT

"You can stay, but you must promise not to run around anymore. Otherwise, I definitely won’t agree to let you enter the mountains again." Lin Sanshui looked at Gu Nian, his smile vanished as he spoke sternly.

"Thank you, Daddy! I promise to be obedient!" Gu Nian hurriedly nodded and gave Lin Sanshui a big bear hug.

"Daddy is biased, Daddy is biased, I don’t want to go back either..." Little Hu pouted so much that he could hang an oil bottle.

Lin Sanshui mercilessly struck down his son, "Daddy is indeed biased. Who told you not to have the luck your little sister has!"

Little Hu instantly deflated.

Sanhu touched his nose.

Luckily, he didn’t make a fuss, or he would be the one getting struck down.

Dahu quickly dragged his two younger brothers home, while Lin Sanshui surveyed the area.

This wasn’t yet the inner region of the forest, logically speaking, even if there were good things, they shouldn’t have been left until now, and would have been taken long ago.

A big beehive hanging here, yet they managed to snatch it first.

Dahu was indeed right, this girl’s luck is indeed good.

On the street, he couldn’t sell two peaches for five coins, yet the little girl easily sold them for ten taels of silver. So many people entered the mountains, but she was the only one who saw the big beehive.

Recalling the scene of the three kids picking peaches and red fruits to bring back, he always thought those things were found by the three kids together, but now it seems it’s probably Niannian’s achievement.

However, luck is one of those things that can’t really be predicted.

Those with good luck can pick up money on the road, like Gu Nian.

Lin Sanshui remembered when he was little, during the New Year, there was a kid from the neighboring village who died choking on a chicken bone while stealing and eating chicken meat; that’s bad luck, even drinking cold water can get one’s teeth stuck.

Gu Nian unintentionally saw Lin Sanshui sitting there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

With Lin Sanshui’s warning, she dared not run around and obediently sat by his side.

"Niannian, would you like to change your name?" Last night, Lin Sanshui had discussed it with Mrs. Jiang. Since she had come to their family, she should change to their family surname.

But now, seeing Gu Nian’s excellent luck, Lin Sanshui felt a bit hesitant.

He’s someone who believes in feng shui.

Privately, he definitely wanted the child to have his surname Lin, but now worries that changing the surname might change the child’s luck, which is no small matter.

Gu Nian couldn’t guess what Lin Sanshui was thinking, so she simply kept her head down, remaining silent.

Seeing that he’s scared the child, Lin Sanshui quickly smiled, stretched out his legs to lift Gu Nian onto his lap, and said, "Your body and hair are inherited from your parents. Though Daddy has decided to raise you, it was your biological parents who gave you life. If you don’t want to change it, feel free to say so boldly; Daddy won’t force you, and will still treat you as the little darling of the family."

"Daddy, I don’t want to change it." Having been called this name since childhood, she would be unaccustomed to changing it.

Moreover, having crossed into another world, all she had left was this name.

Though that’s how she felt, hearing Gu Nian say this made Lin Sanshui a bit disappointed.

Gu Nian sneaked a look at Lin Sanshui’s expression and said, "My previous mother always said that my name and my brother’s are important. Though I didn’t know why she said that, I trust my mother wouldn’t lie to me."

Indeed, the original mother’s statement was frequent, and Gu Nian surmised it might be related to their biological father.

The original mother was pregnant before marriage, but not because she was promiscuous; she was sold by her own elder brother.

And the original brother carried a jade pendant inscribed with three characters: Gu Nianbei. Gu Nian surmised that it must have been left by their father.
