Chapter 491: Going to the Yu Family Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Uncle Yu was stunned. “To the Xuanhe Prefecture?”
“Yes, I was thinking that you cannot return to the village you were in now and you don’t have any relatives in the prefectural city. My father has been under your care these few days. He’s your friend and can’t bear to part with you.” Gu Dajiang nodded repeatedly. “Yes, why don’t you come with us?”
Gu Yundong continued, “Our 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 don’t have enough manpower now. If you can come and help me, I’ll be most at ease.” Uncle Yu’s fingers moved. Help her? She was clearly the one helping them. She wanted them to know that they wouldn’t 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, “I have to go back and discuss it with my father and Xiao Jin.” Xiao Jin was his son.
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, “It’s unlikely that the Yu family will back to Yongfu Village.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. “Why?”
“You’ll find out in a day or two.”
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 didn’t 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 Yu’s 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.
“Gu Dajiang is rich. He even has servants now.”
“Look at his clothes. I saw them at the silk shop last time. They cost three taels of silver.”
“Wow, so expensive? In the past, Gu Dajiang even had to use three copper coins sparingly.”
“Do you think they’re going to the Yu family? Is the Yu family going to get rich too?”
“Tsk, forget it. Let me tell you, it’s been a month since Gu Dajiang left. Only two servants have come. He just showed his face today. Didn’t 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 wouldn’t still be living in this lousy place.”
“Oh, how dare you say that? Do you think a couple of taels of silver come from the wind?”
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.
“Uncle Yu, I’m fine. You don’t have to help me.”
“Don’t take advantage of the fact that you’re still young and don’t pay attention. If you fall ill, you’ll suffer when you reach my age.”
Gu Yundong nodded vigorously. “Grandpa Yu is right.”
Uncle Yu also came out at this moment.
After everyone sat down, Gu Yundong got down to business.
