Chapter 48: His Name Is Shao Qingyuan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Cold-blooded wolf? And they didn’t care about their relatives?
Gu Yundong recalled the two times he saw him. The first time was when he kicked the constable. The second time was when she took revenge and hung Shopkeeper Pan up a tree. If that was the case, he was indeed ruthless.
When she wanted to look again, the young man had already disappeared.
Chen Yulan patted her chest. “Fortunately, he didn’t look over here. Sister Gu, let me tell you, you have to be careful when you meet Shao Qingyuan in the future. He doesn’t care if you’re a girl or not. If you provoke him, he’ll beat you up. He’s a heartless person. It’s fine if he’s not grateful that the Shao family raised him up, but he doesn’t even care about his grandfather, who treats him well. His grandfather fell out with the Shao family for him and brought him out to live alone. In the end, his grandfather fell seriously ill. Shao Qingyuan didn’t even care and left his grandfather to fend for himself in the house. No one even collected his grandfather’s corpse after he died. As for him, he started eating fish and meat in two days.”
“Yulan, what are you talking about? Hurry up. It’s getting late. We’ll delay lunch later.” Chen Liang had already walked for quite a distance when he turned around. Gu Yundong was pulled by Chen Yulan and did not move.
Chen Yulan quickly kept quiet and pulled Gu Yundong to catch up.
Gu Yundong did not quite believe Chen Yulan’s words. Shao Qingyuan did not seem like the person she was talking about.
But who cared? It had nothing to do with her.
The homestead Chen Liang mentioned was at the end of the village, not far from the foot of the mountain. There was no choice. After all, it was assigned by the higher-ups. It could not be the center of the village.
The other two houses were not in the same place as hers. This area was a little deserted, and there were only two or three families around.
Gu Yundong quite liked it. It was just that one mu of land was a little small. Although it was extremely expensive to buy a house that was 100 square meters in the modern era, and one mu of land was more than 600 square meters, Gu Yundong wanted to build a large courtyard here. He could plant some things in the future, and it would be best if everyone had a room.
Even if they didn’t need it very big now, there would be times when they needed it in the future.
She walked around the homestead before walking up to the village chief and saying, “1 want to buy another mu in that direction. How much silver does it cost?”
Chen Liang was a little surprised. There were only four of them at the moment. Was there a need for it to be so big? However, since they wanted to buy it, there was naturally no problem.
Chen Yulan’s eyes lit up and she looked at Gu Yundong eagerly.
“The location here is rather remote. If it’s a mu of land, let’s make it five taels of silver.” If it was the center of the village, this price would not be the same.
“Okay.”
Since they had already decided on the location, Chen Liang brought Gu Yundong back.
This time, everyone in the village knew that Gu Yundong had fled to this place. The way they looked at her changed. It was no longer the envious and fearful expression they had when they saw the big carriage. Instead, there was a hint of sympathy and disdain.
The children who were originally surrounding the carriage and watching curiously were also brought home by their own adults. Some of them even muttered before they left, “So it’s a rented carriage. 1 thought it was a rich family. They’re putting on airs and pretending to be young people from rich families. No wonder they only gave one piece of candy and made the other children run with them. They’re really stingy.”
Gu Yundong did not hear that. She had already entered the village chief’s house and bought the mu of land. The village chief would settle the deed another day.
“There’s one more thing I want to trouble you with, Village Chief.”
Chen Liang accepted the silver and let her sit. “Go ahead..”
