Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 596 My Fourth Uncle and I Are the Best Friends in the World

"That's right!" Gu Xiaoman and Gu Xiaolu nodded blankly, then clapped their hands.

Gu Xiaoman said, "That's great! We'll have horses to ride when we have archery lessons in the future."

Gu Xiaolu: "Hehe, Mom will be so happy when she finds out."

Sister Shu and Brother Yu were even happier than the two of them.

Shujie grinned, "Father has finally come in handy."

Yu-ge tilted his head and asked, "Should we have our eldest brother deliver the message back?"

Shujie rested her head on her knees and said, "No, that won't do. Given Big Brother's personality, he might just be trying to fool us."

"Then what should we do?" Yu-ge asked.

Shu-jie frowned. "It would be best if we said it in front of Father, but Yu-ge, you're so clumsy and don't know how to be charming, so Father definitely won't listen to you."

"Then, Sister Shu, why don't you go back and tell your father?" said Brother Yu.

Shujie waved her hand, "That won't do. I had to sneak out behind my aunt's back to catch up with you. If I go back, my aunt definitely won't let me out."

"What should we do then?" Yu-ge sighed sadly.

Then, a series of sighs filled the air.

Gu Xiaolu thought for a moment and said, "Can't we write a letter?"

"What is letter writing?" Shujie asked.

Gu Xiaolu narrowed her eyes, scratched her head, and didn't know what to say.

After pausing for a moment, he explained, "It's like when someone lives far away from home and can't go back often, they'll write letters home to ask about their family's situation and let their family know about their own situation!"

Sister Shu and Brother Yu nodded "Oh, oh".

Shu-jie said, "It's unreliable to have my older brother deliver a message, but I can send a letter home."

Yu-ge'er nodded, "Yes, yes, we'll send a letter home to Father and ask him to send the horse over."

"How should we write the letter home?" Shujie asked again.

Gu Xiaolu shook her head, "I haven't written one either!"

Gu Xiaoman, who hadn't spoken for a while, chimed in, "Just go back and ask the teacher."

“No,” Gu Xiaolu objected. “If the teacher finds out, he will definitely ask. Should we tell him or not?”

If you don't tell me, you'll have to lie, and mothers don't like children who lie.

"What should we do then?" Shu-jie asked. "Besides the teacher, who else can we ask?"

Gu Xiaoman scratched her head. "Why don't we ask Fourth Uncle? Aren't Fourth Uncle and Uncle Li at home?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaolu nodded, "Yes, we can ask Fourth Uncle. We can also ask him to write it for us. Isn't Brother Chen going back to the prefectural city this afternoon?"

They asked how to write a letter home first, because it would take too much time to write it themselves, and they didn't even know if they could finish it before Brother Chen went back!

If we can't have Brother Chen take it back, then we'll have to find another way to send the letter.

Although Uncle Wu would surely have a way to help them send the letter home to the prefectural city, wouldn't that be troubling Uncle Wu again?

That definitely won't do. We can't let Uncle Wu know beforehand. It would be best to wait until the horses from my eldest uncle's side arrive before letting Uncle Wu know.

With my eldest uncle taking the lead, Uncle Wu will surely think of this too and find a way to buy a horse for my mother.

"Will Fourth Uncle tell Auntie?" Shujie asked uncertainly.

Gu Xiaolu said, "Let's talk to Fourth Uncle first. He's a kid too, just like us. Kids should keep secrets for other kids."

Gu Xiaoman nodded, "That's right, my fourth uncle is my best friend in the world, he definitely won't betray us, so you can rest assured!"
