Chapter 791: They Are Now People of the Zhou Mansion
Editor: Henyee Translations
After eating the porridge, Gu Dajiang helped her sit down and asked her in a low voice, “Have you been in Xuanhe Prefecture for the past year? Where do you live? Where’s Brother-in-law?”
At the mention of her husband, Gu Dafeng’s face turned slightly pale.
She covered her face with both hands, her voice anguished.
“Your brother-in-law’s legs are broken.”
Gu Dajiang’s pupils constricted. His legs were broken?
Gu Yundong also frowned. Indeed, her eldest aunt’s life was very difficult.
She squatted down and gently stroked her back. She said softly, “Then where are you staying now? Let’s bring Uncle here and let the doctor take a look. Find the best doctor in the prefectural city. I happen to know someone from Huimin Medical Center. Let’s get the doctor from the medical center to take a look. Perhaps he can get better?”
Gu Dafeng was stunned and looked up. “Really?”
A glimmer of hope lit in her eyes. “Can he really be cured?”
Gu Yundong did not dare to give her an affirmative answer in case she was disappointed again.
“We have to find a doctor to take a look first. If the doctor at Huimin Medical Center can’t treat him, we’ll go to the capital. There will be a way.” She knew Song Dejiang in the capital.
Gu Dafeng’s voice trembled slightly. “Yes…”
“Then where is Uncle? Shall we pick him up now?”
However, at the mention of this, Gu Dafeng fell silent again. After a while, she said, “He, he’s at the Zhou Mansion.”
Gu Yundong frowned. Zhou?
She was suddenly stunned and asked in a low voice, “Is the Zhou Mansion you’re talking about the one across the street owned by Zhou Dafu?”
“Why are you there?” Gu Yundong looked at Gu Dafeng. Her clothes were tattered and she was thin. Could it be that Zhou Dafu was abusing them?
Gu Dafeng pursed her lips, finding it difficult to speak. “We’re servants of the Zhou family now.”
Gu Dajiang and Gu Yundong’s expressions changed at the same time.
Eldest Aunt and her husband had become servants of the Zhou family. In that case, their lives would be decided by the Zhou family without any freedom.
“Brother, Yundong, forget it. Our current identities…” Gu Dafeng also realized that there was still a huge difference. The Zhou family was rich and powerful. Although her brother seemed to be doing well now, he was probably much worse than the Zhou family.
She knew that her eldest brother would definitely feel sorry for her. Knowing that she and her husband were in a difficult situation, he would definitely bring them out. But how? In Gu Dafeng’s heart, the Zhou Mansion was a huge force. If her eldest brother went against the Zhou Mansion, not only would he not be able to bring them out, but she would also implicate her eldest brother.
“No matter what, I’m already very happy and satisfied to see you guys again.” Gu Dafeng was indeed happy. She thought that she would never see these relatives again in her life.
She actually wanted to ask Gu Dajiang if there was any news of her children. Had Mulan and Yuanzhi returned to Yongning Prefecture?
However, she did not dare to do so now, afraid that she would receive bad news.
Gu Dafeng wiped her tears. “It’s getting late. I sneaked out of the Zhou Mansion. I have to go back. Otherwise, if I’m discovered, your brother-in-law will be blamed. Will you live in the Xuanhe Prefecture in the future? Then I’ll find a chance to come out next time and see you again.”
She got up and was about to leave when Gu Yundong hurriedly pulled her back.
“Eldest Aunt, you don’t have to go back. If you’re servants of the Zhou Mansion, we can pay some money and buy you back. When the time comes, we’ll take the indenture and remove the slave status. Then, our family will be able to live together.”
