34 Buy Mountain

With money in hand, Gu Jiao was contemplating what to do next.

The next day, when Xiao Liulang returned home from school, the family of three sat down for their meal in the hall.

They were considered a family of three, despite lacking familial ties. The trio shared an oddly harmonious rapport.

As the old lady gnawed on a large chicken leg, she glanced at Gu Jiao and said: "Speak up!"

Gu Jiao wondered, how did the old lady know she had something to say?

"I want to buy a mountain," Gu Jiao pronounced.

"A winter coat or an autumn coat?" The old lady shot Gu Jiao a speechless look. She criticised Gu Jiao for dawdling over such a small matter.
