Chapter 41: Deciding on a Place to Stay
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking at Gu Yundong, who had just been born, Gu Dajiang and Madam Yang thought for a long time and finally compromised.
At that time, Madam Yang was not stupid. Madam Zhao also felt a little guilty because of her difficult labor. Moreover, the doctor said that she might not be able to give birth in the future, so Gu Dajiang flew into a rage and split up the family estates.
This was the first time Old Gu and Madam Zhao had seen Gu Dajiang so angry. They were a little frightened. They were afraid that he would be forced into a corner and die with everyone. Therefore, when the family of three returned to the Gu family’s old residence, their lives were not too difficult.
Madam Zhao only dared to curse. She did not dare to hit Madam Yang if she was asked to do some work. Thus, Gu Yundong lived a peaceful life for a few years. When Gu Yunshu was born, Madam Zhao’s guilty conscience completely flew away and she began to cause trouble again.
After Gu Yunke was born, Madam Zhao reverted to her old ways. However, half a year after Madam Yang gave birth to her youngest daughter, she accidentally slipped and fell when she went to the river to wash clothes. Her head hit a rock, and when she woke up, she was not clear.
On one hand, Gu Dajiang was looking for an opportunity to bring Madam Yang to the county capital to see a doctor. On the other hand, he had to take care of the children. He was so busy that he could not take care of many things at home. Furthermore, he had encountered a disaster, so it was even more wishful thinking to split up.
However, things were different now. They had fled to Xuanhe Prefecture. Not to mention that Old Gu and the clan leader could no longer control them, they could still settle down openly.
Gu Yundong had no concept of the family at all. A person’s life was not long. The most important thing was to live comfortably.
However, this was only her opinion. Madam Yang and Gu Yunke did not understand, but they had to seek Gu Yunshu’s opinion.
Even if it was… misleading.
As expected, Gu Yunshu thought of his old days in his hometown. He thought of how his father could not retaliate after being kicked by the patriarch. He thought of his life of not being able to eat his fill and wear warm clothes, and of being beaten and scolded. He thought of how his sisters were bullied by their cousins but still had to be slapped by their grandmother.
Gu Yunshu immediately shook his head like a rattle drum. “I’m not going back.
1 don’t want to go back.”
Gu Yunshu was very determined. “I’m sure.”
Gu Yundong smiled and patted his head again. “Then I won’t go back.”
Aunt Ke put down the sewing basket in her hand and stood up. She patted her clothes and said, “Since you’ve decided, go to the government office to register. Also, see if Nie Cong is around. Let that kid help you look for a good place.”
With that, she returned to her room, looking a little lonely.
Gu Yundong knew that during this period of time, she liked the two children very much and could not bear to part with them.
She quickly went to the government office. There were many people gathered at the entrance.
Gu Yundong found Nie Cong and told him what she wanted. Nie Cong agreed without hesitation. “Don’t worry, you’re registered with the lord. They’ll definitely choose a good village for you. However, you have to be mentally prepared. The village where the refugees are settled won’t be too rich.”
“I understand. Help me take a look and see if there are any villages that are not far from the town and county. Most importantly, the people in the village should be scattered. The village chief is easy to talk to.” If she met someone like the Gu family’s head again, she would have a headache and vomit blood.
Cough, 1 have too many requests. I’ll try my luck.
She did not expect Nie Cong to really choose a good village for her. It was considered the best village among all the villages.
Gu Yundong followed him to complete all the procedures and set off.
However, before she left, she had something to do..
