Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

The fact that Bai Jingwen sent these people is a real lifesaver; maybe their ship will be able to set sail next year.

Bai Suihe usually makes some lists. Since they are going to sea, they should prepare the necessary things. It is best to wait until everyone is caught off guard and set sail immediately after entering the water.

Over the past two weeks, they have cleared out most of their assets, and those people have finally stopped targeting them.

It's just because of their arrival that anyone who isn't stupid knows that having assets in hand is the trump card, so these people are jumping around, but they don't dare to use any underhanded tactics here.

After all, Xu Zitian was not someone to be trifled with, not to mention that Chen Dafu had not yet returned to report for duty.

As for Chen Qingmu and the others, Gu Kaiyuan did not treat them badly, entrusting them with the management of the remaining farmhouses and shops. And it must be said that these lads have grown quite quickly.

Before long, he no longer needed to worry about it, and some of the estates had already started to make a profit.

Bai Suihe flipped through the account books that had just been delivered, "You know what, Chen Qingmu and the others really know how to handle things."

The estate had mountains, so they organized hunting trips; it had water, so they fished. This actually helped them cover the estate's expenses.

Even so, they still sent some over. If they continue to have this kind of drive, Bai Suihe really wouldn't want them to leave.

"Previously, Lord Chen suppressed things too much. In fact, as long as a person is diligent, their mind will also start to work."

I wonder if Lord Chen will take them with him before he goes back. I'll write a letter tomorrow and ask for their opinion first.

Gu Kaiyuan also felt a pang of regret for the talent he had painstakingly cultivated.

If they are willing, Gu Kaiyuan is willing to give them room to develop, just as the lady said, knowing people and making good use of them.

Bai Suihe had issues with these people, but instead pointed out a few shops, saying, "What do you think about us opening a dried goods shop here?"

“That’s possible,” Gu Kaiyuan said, glancing at the shop’s location. “The only problem is that the best dried goods have already been monopolized, and we won’t be able to get our hands on top-quality products.”

"That's alright, business is business, take it slow."

Let's build brand awareness first, and then once our ship is ready to be launched, we can start selling our products.

Gu Kaiyuan thought it was feasible and was already thinking about how to implement it.

Seeing that the two of them had started talking about serious matters again and had forgotten about her, Gu Xingyang couldn't resist making a few "ah" sounds.

Gu Kaiyuan glanced back at her, assuming she was just practicing her voice, and watched Bai Suihe write and draw.

Bai Suihe was so engrossed that she didn't notice that Gu Xingyang, seeing that her previous methods hadn't worked, simply spoke in their minds, "Father, Mother, why are you ignoring me?"

"Your mother is thinking about how to earn money to support you." Gu Kaiyuan walked over and picked her up. Granny Pang had said before that when a child is growing, she shouldn't always be held in her arms, but should lie down more, as this is good for her growth.

Gu Xingyang wasn't so obedient. When she was asleep, it was fine, but when she woke up, she liked her parents to focus all their attention on her.

She doesn't make a fuss, but she's a bit clingy.

Gu Kaiyuan said this, but his hands quickly pulled the child into his arms. From the child's birth until now, and from his interactions with her, Gu Kaiyuan could roughly guess that the child lacked a sense of security.

The thought of her child following Bai Suihe in spirit form for so many years made her realize that no matter how intelligent or extraordinary she was, she still needed emotional support.

It's all his fault for not protecting them, mother and daughter, which caused them so much suffering. How could he bear to be harsh with them?

"Are you thirsty? Daddy will get you some water." Gu Kaiyuan held the child in one arm and skillfully poured her a cup of warm water from a baby bowl in the other. She must have been thirsty after crying out like that.

Gu Xingyang enjoyed her father's care, took a few sips of water with a spoon in her mouth, and then pushed her little hand away. Gu Kaiyuan immediately knew that was enough, took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then picked her up and sat her down next to Bai Suihe.

"Mommy, is it because we don't have enough money? I can find a way to earn more." Gu Xingyang felt a pang of heartache seeing Bai Suihe writing and calculating on the draft paper.

My mother used to earn a pretty good salary, and in those convenient times, she didn't have to work so hard for a few dollars.

Now that her mother is working hard for their future, Gu Xingyang really wants to help.

“We have enough money,” Bai Suihe stopped writing. It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to use an abacus, but rather that she didn’t have the habit of using one.

"We need to sort out the household accounts, otherwise they'll pile up and you won't be able to figure them out later." Bai Suihe looked at Gu Xingyang seriously. "Right now, you just need to focus on growing up properly. Don't worry about anything else. Don't try to put everything on your shoulders. If you don't grow taller, don't come crying to me."

What kind of money can such a young child earn? It's nothing more than treasure hunting like before. Bai Suihe is really afraid that such extraordinary abilities will harm the child in the end.

Although Gu Xingyang repeatedly assured her that there would be no impact, Bai Suihe was still afraid.

They have enough money now. If they don't have enough, they can earn more. Everyone should enjoy every stage of their life.

Gu Xingyang, “...Mom, without any personal attacks, I’m sure I’ll grow very tall in the future.”

Gu Kaiyuan laughed angrily, "What your mother means is that you shouldn't try to shoulder everything yourself. Your mother and I will take care of everything. It's our responsibility to raise you, and when we get old, we'll naturally have to rely on you."

Gu Xingyang was overjoyed. "I will definitely take care of Dad and Mom. But Dad and Mom, shouldn't you give me some younger brothers and sisters? I want to be the eldest."

Upon hearing this, Bai Suihe felt a little uncomfortable. Although the relationship between the couple was still okay, she really hadn't thought about having another child.

Gu Kaiyuan glanced at Bai Suihe, then lightly tapped Gu Xingyang with his finger. "You're already a little boss now. As for your younger siblings, we'll see what happens in the future. If you really want them, I can adopt ten or eight for you right now. How about that?"

Before Bai Suihe could speak, Gu Xingyang immediately exclaimed, "I don't want to! Daddy, do you really want to be my godfather?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Suihe suppressed a laugh, probably thinking that Gu Xingyang was thinking of her adoptive father, the assassin Lü Bu.

Looking at their expressions, Gu Kaiyuan didn't understand what was going on. "Isn't this good? This way you'll have brothers and sisters to keep you company from now on. Don't worry, they can't possibly surpass you."

Many families, when their numbers dwindle, will adopt some godchildren. This is to ensure that they are more loyal to the family and will faithfully raise the biological children of their benefactors.

Although there were some who were unfilial and disrespectful to their elders, the main family was all good.

If he and Suihe only have this one daughter, then they need to plan ahead. (End of Chapter)
