Chapter 73: The Death of Nature
Old Mrs. Wang’s hands were shaking as she held the little green book. Oh my God, she had never seen so much money in her life!

"Grandma, these are the pearls I dug out from clams in the sea. They are quite beautiful, all of uniform size, and there are pink and black ones." Gu Nanxing brought out a small wooden box, opened the lid, and there were about fifty pearls neatly arranged inside.

She kept some for herself, which could be used for medicinal purposes or ground into powder for facial application, and she also gave a few to Yuzhu and Tianjiao.

Seeing the glittering pearls, Old Lady Wang was even more shocked. "You girl, you're still going to the sea, are you trying to save your life?"

Gu Nanxing casually told a white lie, "It's okay, the coach is watching."

Seeing that her granddaughter earned so much money in one trip, Old Mrs. Wang felt a little nervous holding her passbook. She was afraid that thieves would target her because she suddenly had so much money.

Before going to bed at night, she told the old man about this.

Old Master Gu was also surprised. Nanxing was becoming more and more promising and more reliable than her father.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for Wenlin to get his driver's license first, then buy him a pickup truck for his business. He can pick up Nanxing from school every morning and evening, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he just used the village chief's tricycle for a long time."

"Haha, Nanxing just told me that she also wants to buy a car, a pickup truck for business, and a car for passengers, so that our family can go out for a trip." Old Mrs. Wang laughed at the end of her words. The little girl's idea was too naive.

The Gu family first built a big house, and now Wenlin is learning to drive and buying a car. If he buys two cars, I wonder what the villagers will say behind his back.

Their family didn't have a big business, nor did they win the lottery. The old man made a little money selling herbal medicine and treating people's illnesses, so it was difficult to even build a toilet.

His spending, big and small, was obvious, and now that he suddenly had money, others would definitely speculate that Gu Wenlin was doing something shameful outside!

Old Man Gu sighed. The living standards of the villagers were similar. If someone's family became rich, they would be envied.

Everyone has a hatred for the rich.

"How about we buy an apartment in the city?" Old Mrs. Wang thought that money spent is invisible, but buying a house is different, as the house will maintain its value.

Old Man Gu turned over and lay flat on his back. The Zhou family lived in the city, and the village was not far from the county town. Sooner or later, news of buying a house would leak out.

"Wait a little longer. Nanxing will go to college. With her medical skills, she will be able to gain a foothold in a big city sooner or later." He felt that his granddaughter would achieve great things in the future, and by then, whatever the villagers said would be justified.

Old Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, then closed her eyes with satisfaction. Her dreams were filled with beautiful images of her granddaughter bringing people back to life, saving the dying and the wounded, and shining brightly.

My uncle is very efficient. When Gu Nanxing came back from school, the glass on the fish pond wall had been installed. The glass was ten meters long and there was not a single joint.

Xiang Huaibing is still laying out the electrical wiring. My little niece wants a warm light lamp, but it is not practical to install it inside the glass wall. It is difficult to make it waterproof, and most importantly, it is unsafe.

The three workers were busy until dark. Zhou Xiaoqing had already prepared the meal and came to the living room to call everyone to come and eat.

Gu Wenlin went to the city driving school to register today. He first took the test on subject one, theoretical knowledge. He only has an elementary school education and it is difficult for him to read. It is unrealistic to ask his daughter to help him learn to read.

Nanxing had a stern face, and he felt that he was going to scold him, so he was scared!

I might as well trick my fellow sufferer Jiao Zuoshu into signing up. He has nothing to do when he gets home anyway, so let's learn to drive together.

Jiao Zuoshu refused. He would not take the exam because cars were so expensive and he could not afford one even if he learned it.

His father got so angry that he slammed the table and paid 5,000 yuan in tuition for him to learn. Nowadays, times are getting better and better, and knowing how to drive and being a driver for others is also a way of life.

Gu Wenlin talked about this happily at the dinner table, but he stopped laughing when he was glared at by Old Man Gu.

"What do you have to be proud of? My writing skills are higher than yours, so Subject 1 is not a problem for him." Old Master Gu put down his bowl and scolded his son with a frown.

Xiang Huaibing couldn't bring himself to criticize Wen Lin. Getting a driver's license wasn't easy. He'd already failed the third test three times...

After dinner, Xiang Huaibing and his workers continued to work on the fish pond wall. When Gu Nanxing finished acupuncture for Ji Yanchi, the messy living room had been almost tidied up, and his mother was still mopping the floor.

Seeing her daughter coming over, Zhou Xiaoqing put the mop in the bucket, went to the door and pressed the light switch on the wall, lighting up the fish pond. "Your uncle said it needs to be aired out for a few days before the water can be added. If there's a leak, call him."

Thinking of the phone, Gu Nanxing returned it to his mother and said, "Mom, keep it. I'll buy myself another one someday."

"Girl, why did you buy so many phones? Your dad has a mobile phone. Don't waste money." Zhou Xiaoqing pushed it back. The mobile phone was originally given to his daughter by Young Master Xi.

Gu Nanxing put it in her pocket and said, "Keep it here so you can contact me if anything happens."

The mother and daughter chatted while cleaning the wall of the fish pond. After cleaning, they went back to their rooms to rest.

A week later, Gu Nanxing asked a pickup truck to bring several large boxes of herbs home, all of which were herbs she had found in Lingnan.

After Mr. Gu finished looking through the books, his face was so happy that it almost froze with laughter. With so many precious herbs, he could open a pharmacy.

Old Mrs. Wang asked her son to come out and help carry it into the pharmacy.

The careless Gu Wenlin dropped a box and was seen by Old Man Gu. He almost broke his old pipe, what a fool!
There was also a big tank in the car, and the fish inside were very beautiful. Mr. Gu, the driver, and Gu Wenlin worked together to move it down.

Zhou Xiaoqing and Old Lady Wang watched for a long time. The little fish was so beautiful!

The family finally understood why Nanxing didn't just use a tank to raise fish, but instead asked her uncle to build a fish pond wall.

After the herbs were moved, Gu Nanxing paid the master 100 yuan for transportation.

After dinner, Gu Nanxing gave Ji Yanchi acupuncture first, and then came over to release the fish after he was done.

Water entered the wall of the fish pond, and the sewage was drained out after washing the pond. The drainage system was well built by my uncle. Gu Nanxing used a ladder to pour the fish in from above, and secretly released spiritual spring water at the same time.

Under the warm light, the little fish swim around inside, and the flowing ribbons on their tails are incredibly beautiful.

"Nanxing, these fish are very expensive, right?" Zhou Xiaoqing stood there for a long time holding her son, unable to move away because of the beautiful fish.

Xuanxuan was pulling at the glass, but he was very anxious because he couldn't get his hand in. He couldn't catch any of the little fish.

Gu Nanxing came down the ladder carrying a bucket. "I caught them in the sea. No charge."

"Fish in the sea? Sea water is salty. Will it be okay if you feed it tap water? It will die in a few days, right?" Zhou Xiaoqing felt a little regretful. What a beautiful fish.

Gu Nanxing laughed and said, "Mom, I put some medicine in it. Don't worry, the fish won't die."

Okay, she trusts her daughter in what she does.

Old Master Gu is teaching Gu Wenlin to read. The fish is right there and he can see it every day. It would be great if his son could pass the driving test soon.

Old Mrs. Wang admired the fish for a while, then sat on the sofa to watch TV. She could watch the fish every day, but she would only watch two episodes of The Mute Bride a day and then the TV would stop.

On Saturday morning, Lu Yuzhu and Tianjiao came to play with Nanxing. When they entered the main hall and saw the wall of the fish pond, they couldn't take their eyes off it. They had never seen such beautiful fish before.

"Tianjiao, a few days ago, Nanxing asked her uncle to build a wall for the fish pond. I said she was a genius, but when I saw these fish today, I was so envious."

"When they give birth to little fish, I will definitely ask Nanxing for two to raise, hehe..."
