Chapter 79: Moving

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong led Madam Yang and the other two to the Zeng house. Zeng Hu and his son had already moved into Shao Qingyuan’s house. There were only seven-year-old Zeng Yue and five-year-old Zeng Le at home. The siblings were very happy to see them. One of them helped carry the luggage, while the other ran to Gu Yunshu’s side and rubbed his head innocently, calling him brother.

Dong Xiulan smiled and said, “All Shu is two months older than you. You should call him Big Brother.”

Zeng Le exclaimed, “Why is he an older brother again? I already have an older brother. Can’t I call him younger brother?”

Gu Yunshu shook his head and sighed mischievously. “It’s my fault for being too hardworking. I came to this world two months earlier than you. I’m also very helpless. Don’t be too sad. There’s a good saying. This is fate.”

Zeng Le was extremely disappointed and could only call him brother. However, when he turned around and saw the silly and small Gu Yunke, he immediately became happy and called her crisply, “Sister.”

“I hate my brother.” Her bad brother called her fat girl again in the morning. She would complain to her eldest sister later and ask her to teach him a lesson and spank his butt.

Zeng Le:”…”

Gu Yundong was overjoyed. Indeed, children had to play with their friends.

Dong Xiulan was also very happy. Her family was poor and lived in a remote place. The three children had helped the family work since they were sensible. They rarely had any friends. Now that the Gu family was living here, it felt lively.

She instructed her daughter, Zeng Yue, “Mother will go buy groceries. Take Sister Yundong to her room to settle down and take care of her younger siblings. If there’s anything you don’t know, you can go next door to look for your brother.”

The eldest son of the Zeng family was called Zeng Jia. He was currently taking care of his father at Shao Qingyuan’s house.

Zeng Yue agreed, and Dong Xiulan left the house with the basket.

Gu Yundong looked at the Zeng family. They seemed to have cleaned up the house better than when she came yesterday.

It was only when she entered the room that she suddenly came back to her senses. The Zeng family seemed to have known that she was leaving Madam Fang’s house and looking for a new place to stay. Otherwise, why would the Zeng father and son move so quickly? They had already tidied up the place beforehand.

She turned around and asked Zeng Yue. The little girl blushed and replied shyly, “I don’t know either. Before Mother left, she said a few words. She didn’t say anything else.” After thinking for a while, she added, “But Mother spoke to Brother Shao before. Father was also carried over by Brother Shao.”

Shao Qingyuan?

Gu Yundong thought of the four sacks that had been thrown into the courtyard last night. It should have been Shao Qingyuan who had done it. Could it be that he had guessed that the Fang family would not let them stay, so he had asked the Dong family to invite them?

For some reason, Gu Yundong felt his face heat up.

It was not that she was thinking too much. Shao Qingyuan had helped her more than once. Not to mention the incident with the wild boar, just two days ago, he had knocked out four thieves who had entered her courtyard and dragged them away. Now, he had taken the initiative to help her solve the accommodation problem.

Although Gu Yundong did not believe that Shao Qingyuan was a heartless person, she would definitely not treat him as a benevolent person who helped others for nothing.

This person wouldn’t have any feelings for her, right?

Perhaps she had to find an opportunity to ask.

Madam Dong quickly bought groceries back, mainly meat. There were vegetables in the garden, so there was no need to spend so much effort.

She directly handed it to Gu Yundong. “The meat and fish cost sixty copper coins. The rest of the money is here. There’s firewood in the kitchen, and the water vat is full. You can use it directly. If you need anything, feel free to order Yue’er around. I’ll go to Qingyuan’s house to brew medicine for my husband. I’ll leave first.”

When Gu Yundong heard this, she knew that Madam Dong did not intend to take advantage of her family. She did not take her words to heart and even deliberately avoided them.

She did not say anything. After Madam Dong left, she prepared more food before starting to cook Gu Yunke’s favorite braised pork..
