Grandpa Yu was shocked by her sudden raised voice.
Gu Yundong could not help but stand up. “I didn’t hear wrongly. Did you just say my father? Have you seen my father?”
Seeing this, Grandpa Yu nodded. “Yes, your father is in Wanqing Prefecture and has been looking for you.”
Gu Yundong’s breathing suddenly quickened. The surprise caught her off guard, and her hands began to tremble slightly. She hurriedly asked, “Then where is he now? Where is my father now? Can you take me to him?”
“He went out yesterday and hasn’t returned yet.” After Grandpa Yu finished speaking, he saw her frown and look disappointed. He hurriedly added, “But you don’t have to worry. Your father usually comes back every two to three days. He heard that there was news of you yesterday and left in a hurry. I didn’t have time to ask him where he was going. If he doesn’t find you, he will still come back. He lives in the same courtyard as us. You’ll see him in a day or two.”
Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief and sat back down.
The joy on her face was still on. Tong Shuitao, who was beside her, was also extremely excited.
The Yu family had also looked for Gu Yundong, but there had been no news.
It was only when the new emperor ascended the throne, the city gate opened, and a new order was issued that they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Just like Gu Yundong’s choice back then, the Yu family did not intend to return to their hometown, so they took root in Wanqing Prefecture.
Unfortunately, they had no backing or money. In the end, they were assigned to a remote village by the local government. Not only was that place remote, but it was also especially poor. It was very difficult for men and women to marry, and the land was very barren.
If they stayed in that village, they would probably live a hard life for the rest of their lives.
After a discussion, the Yu Family decided to register in the village. However, they went to the prefectural city to find work. At the very least, they had to try their luck. They still had some money on them, so they rented a small courtyard.
However, it was easier said than done to find work in the prefectural city for those who had no roots. Especially since there were many refugees who had escaped from the famine here. They could endure hardship and demand low wages.
Now, Grandpa Yu’s son was helping someone move the goods. His grandson was working in a small shop, but the salary was pitifully low.
Even so, he cherished this job. After all, if he didn’t do it, there would be countless people waiting in line to do it..
