Zhou Xiaojun sneered. “I don’t know what you like about that Gu woman. She’s already so old and has even given birth to a child. If you want to take a concubine, go find a virgin girl. Why would you treat an old woman like a treasure?”
Zhou Dafu glared at him. “What do you know? Your Aunt Gu had a hard time in the past. It’s rare for her to enjoy life, so why can’t you stop going against her? Your mother is so jealous. She’s not virtuous at all.”
“Why don’t you say that you’re a pig?” Zhou Xiaojun wiped his face fiercely and climbed into the carriage himself.
However, his hands and feet were still weak. It took a while for the maidservant to help him up.
Zhou Dafu was so angry that his hands trembled. Who would say that about their father? This child was simply an unfilial son.
He had lost so much money and was very unhappy, and he could not control his son. He hated his wife even more because she had spoiled their son.
Gu Yundong and the rest had already walked far away. In the end, Shao Qingyuan rode Wind Chaser into the forest to bring out Gale that had calmed down.
Sure enough, there was a small arrow stuck in Gale’s back. When Ah Gou saw this, he quickly volunteered, “I’ll do it. My father used to be a veterinarian.”
Everyone was speechless. Your father was actually a veterinarian?
Ah Mao was even more surprised. “Your father was a veterinarian, but you don’t know how to ride a mule cart?”
It took them a long time to get used to it.
Ah Gou was dumbfounded. “Why does the vet’s son have to know how to ride a mule cart? Isn’t that the job of a driver?”
‘Hm? You make a lot of sense.’
Gu Yundong only pulled out the arrow from Gale’s body and applied medicine to the wound when they arrived at a nearby village. After this incident, Gu Yundong remained in the carriage.
Coincidentally, Madam Yang was also worried and did not allow her to go out. Gu Yundong looked at her hands that were wrapped up like dumplings and felt very helpless.
At night, they stayed at an inn in town. After settling down, Gu Yundong finally had the time to ask Ah Mao and the others, “How much money did you get?”
The four of them looked at each other and chuckled. Each of them took out a banknote worth a hundred taels of silver. They were so excited that their bodies were trembling. “A hundred taels.”
“Is that all you’ve got? You only asked for 100 taels?”
“Isn’t 100 taels a lot?”
Gu Yundong was stunned. 100 taels of silver. Now that she had a workshop that could earn money, 100 taels of silver did not seem like much. But when she first came to this world, she even had to calculate every one tael of silver carefully.
100 taels of silver was enough to build her green brick tiled house. In Yongfu Village, there were probably not five families who had 100 taels of silver.
Sure enough, it was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.
Gu Yundong smiled and nodded. “It’s quite a lot. Since you have the money, you have to think about how to use it. You can’t gamble or go to brothels.”
“Definitely.” The four of them happily took the banknotes and left.
Gu Yundong did not care anymore. When only she and Shao Qingyuan were left in the room, she asked, “What do you plan to do with the four of them?”
“When I go back, I’ll find a master who practices martial arts and let them learn their skills.” After today’s incident, Shao Qingyuan had been thinking about this problem.
Ah Mao and the others were young and smart. It was not too late for them to practice martial arts.
Gu Yundong nodded. “Alright, as long as you’ve thought it through.”
She yawned and was about to return to her room to rest.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to open the door, she heard Shao Qingyuan’s voice behind her. “After returning to Yongfu Village, I’ll find someone to propose marriage at your house..”
