âMother, let them leave tomorrow. We wonât let them stay in our house anymore.â
Madam Fang patted her. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Weâve already accepted the money. How can you not let him stay? If you really chase him away, itâll be difficult to explain to your uncle.â
âB-But she doesnât know whatâs good for her.â Chen Yulan recounted what had happened just now. She was very irritable, especially when she felt the smell of dumplings floating in her nose. She couldnât help but take a deep breath.
Madam Fang frowned. âForget it, forget it. She doesnât know whatâs good for her. Isnât there still that pair of young siblings and that fool mother? Those three donât know anything. Theyâll definitely be easy to fool. Another day, when that girl isnât around, say a few good words. Are you afraid that they wonât give us anything good? Alright, letâs cook first. Weâll find an opportunity tomorrow. Iâm starving.â
âMother, didnât you just eat date cake?â
Chen Yulan muttered twice, but she still got to work.
Gu Yundong happily distributed the dumplings and said in a low voice, âThat mother and daughter are not easy to get along with. Stay away from them in the future, understand?â
âI know, I know.â Gu Yunshu nodded repeatedly as he ate. âIâm a man. Itâs not good for me to be too close to them.â
Gu Yunke saw that his brother had already eaten a few and was instantly extremely anxious. However, he remembered to answer his eldest sisterâs question and hurriedly nodded. âIâll be obedient and stay away. Older Brother, eat slowly. Help me blow on it first.â
Madam Yang nodded. âIn the future, when I see them, Iâll run. Iâll run immediately. Dongdong, you donât have to worry.â
After saying that, she immediately lowered her head and the three of them began to eat assiduously. The dumplings that Big Sister made were the best. They tasted delicious.
The corners of Gu Yundongâs mouth twitched. âTake your time. Thereâs enough.â
The family of four did not treat Madam Fang and her daughter the same as Aunt Ke. After eating, they boiled water, washed up, and went to bed.
The next morning, Gu Yundong took the blueprint and brought Madam Yang and the other two to the village chiefâs house. Before he left, he locked the door. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chen Liang was already waiting for her. Beside him stood a tall and burly middle-aged man.
As soon as Gu Yundong entered, he introduced, âYundong, youâre here. Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Feng Daneng from our village. Youâre Uncle Feng.â
âHello, Uncle Feng.â
Feng Daneng nodded and looked at this family of four. He understood why the village chief said that he would be in charge of this matter. It was indeed inconvenient without an adult man in this family. The house they built would not be very big. However, each person would earn 40 copper coins a day. Could they afford it?
Chen Liang patted Feng Danengâs arm and said, âYour Uncle Feng is an expert in building houses in our area. As long as heâs not busy with farming, he will work near us to help people build houses. When he was young, he even stayed in the prefectural city for two years. His skills are unparalleled.â
âUncle Chenâs help is naturally the best. Iâm not worried.â
âHahaha.â Chen Liang liked Gu Yundongâs words. She was nice! She was not like the girls and women in the village. Not only were they loud, but they also made peopleâs ears hurt. âAlright, didnât you say yesterday that you would go back and think about how to build a house? Think about it. Then tell your Uncle Feng about it.â
âIâve already drawn the blueprint. Uncle Feng, take a look.â Gu Yundong unfolded the blueprint in her hand.
Feng Daneng and Chen Liang were a little surprised and came over to take a look..
