Uncle Yu was stunned. âTo the Xuanhe Prefecture?â
âYes, I was thinking that you cannot return to the village you were in now and you donât have any relatives in the prefectural city. My father has been under your care these few days. Heâs your friend and canât bear to part with you.â Gu Dajiang nodded repeatedly. âYes, why donât you come with us?â
Gu Yundong continued, âOur Yongfu Village is actually not bad. The village chief is also kind, and the villagers are very diligent and friendly. If you come, we can take care of each other. I have a workshop in the village and donât have enough manpower now. If you can come and help me, Iâll be most at ease.â Uncle Yuâs fingers moved. Help her? She was clearly the one helping them. She wanted them to know that they wouldnât have to worry about not having a job even if they went to Yongfu Village.
Uncle Yu was tempted for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it.
He thought for a while before saying, âI have to go back and discuss it with my father and Xiao Jin.â Xiao Jin was his son.
âOf course.â
Uncle Yu chatted with Gu Dajiang for a while more. After all, he had something on his mind and returned not long after.
Gu Dajiang looked at his back and said to Gu Yundong, âItâs unlikely that the Yu family will follow us back to Yongfu Village.â
Gu Yundong was stunned. âWhy?â
âYouâll find out in a day or two.â
Gu Yundong blinked, but on second thought, she felt that it made sense. After all, they had lived in Wanqing Prefecture for a period of time and had finally settled down. In the end, it didnât make sense for them to go all the way to a completely unfamiliar place. In fact, she was not confident.
Forget it. Regardless of whether they went or not, she would respect their choice.
Two days later, Gu Yundong and Gu Dajiang went to Uncle Yuâs courtyard.
When she passed by that road again, the hooligans who had caused her trouble were no longer there.
However, many of the neighbors who lived there greeted Gu Dajiang curiously when they saw him.
Especially when they saw two servants following behind him, they started whispering.
âGu Dajiang is rich. He even has servants now.â
âLook at his clothes. I saw them at the silk shop last time. They cost three taels of silver.â
âWow, so expensive? In the past, Gu Dajiang even had to use three copper coins sparingly.â
âDo you think theyâre going to the Yu family? Is the Yu family going to get rich too?â
âTsk, forget it. Let me tell you, itâs been a month since Gu Dajiang left. Only two servants have come. He just showed his face today. Didnât you see that the Yu family has been living so bitterly for the past month? If Gu Dajiang really had a conscience, he would have given the Yu family a couple of taels of silver. The Yu family wouldnât still be living in this lousy place.â
âOh, how dare you say that? Do you think a couple of taels of silver come from the wind?â
No one dared to say these words in front of Gu Dajiang and the others. They only started spouting nonsense when they disappeared.
At this moment, Gu Yundong and the others had already entered the Yu Family. Uncle Yu was cleaning the courtyard. When he saw them enter, he quickly came over to help Gu Dajiang sit.
âUncle Yu, Iâm fine. You donât have to help me.â
âDonât take advantage of the fact that youâre still young and donât pay attention. If you fall ill, youâll suffer when you reach my age.â
Gu Yundong nodded vigorously. âGrandpa Yu is right.â
Uncle Yu also came out at this moment.
After everyone sat down, Gu Yundong got down to business.
