As soon as Gu Wenheng finished hitching the donkey cart, Gu Kaishan and Liu Heizi appeared at the door. They had agreed yesterday to travel together to the county town today to sell dried fish.
They had barely left the village when Gu Kaishan started chatting. "You're living a more and more comfortable life now, kid. You've even got servants working for you."
"It's all thanks to my wife. But you guys aren't doing too badly yourselves. Look at your clothes—they're still brand new.
"And you've brought quite a lot of fish. It seems you've made a good amount," Gu Wenheng said.
Gu Kaishan gave a goofy smile. "Heizi and I learned how to swim recently, and we built a wooden raft. We often go across the river to set up fish traps. Not many people catch fish around here, so we managed to take advantage of it.
"Speaking of which, did you see Old Six yesterday?"
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian had remembered this matter yesterday, but since no one brought it up, they hadn't asked.
