Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong suddenly felt a little guilty. However, he quickly adjusted himself and said, “It’s not for Yunshu. It’s for my father. When I bought the cloth, I counted the entire family. Only now do I remember that my father is not around…”
Dong Xiulan was afraid that she would be sad, so she quickly said, “You’ll definitely be reunited soon. You even bought so much cloth? If you trust my skills, I’ll make a piece of clothes for each of you.”
“That’s good.” Gu Yundong smiled. “Auntie’s embroidery skills are good, so it’s definitely not a problem for you to make clothes. But I have to make it clear that you have to be paid. 1 can’t take advantage of Auntie.”
“How is this taking advantage? Look at how much good stuff our family has eaten from you since you came. You went to the county city and came back to buy candied hawthorn for Yue’er and the others. I’m so grateful. It won’t take much effort to make a few sets of clothes. It’s settled.”
With that, Dong Xiulan left without waiting for her to reject.
Gu Yundong laughed and shook her head. She did not insist.
After tidying up herself, she went to the kitchen to cook the two pheasants.
They had agreed to make a salt-baked chicken and a spicy chicken for Shao Qingyuan.
Dong Xiulan had taken care of the two chickens, so Gu Yundong moved much faster.
In addition to the two chickens, she also bought other vegetables in the county city. When they were done, she asked Gu Yunshu to send them to the neighboring house.
After dinner, Gu Yundong sat on the chair and pondered. Now that the blueprints were back, the Peng family would not cause trouble for him.
Apart from the money she had to build a house and buy a carriage, she still had about 230 taels of silver.
To others, it might seem like a lot, but to Gu Yundong, it was not enough. Not to mention that she did not have a fixed asset like fertile land, she still had to send Gu Yunshu to school, find Gu Dajiang, and treat Madam Yang. These were all money-burning jobs where she could not save money even if she wanted to.
She had to buy a few acres of fertile land. She could rent it out even if she didn’t know how to grow it.
Yunshu’s school was not in a hurry. She heard from the village chief that the school in town had to accept students above the age of six. Yunshu would only be six years old after the New Year. She could just ask around first.
As for Gu Dajiang, after the house was built, she wanted to personally make a trip to Qing’an Prefecture. Back then, they had agreed to meet in Qing’an Prefecture. If Gu Dajiang was still alive, he would definitely go. However, after the chaos in Qing’an Prefecture, it was hard to say what would happen next.
In this era, there was no mobile phone network. It was too difficult to find someone.
Also, Madam Yang’s illness was actually what Gu Yundong was most worried about at the moment. She was afraid that the blood clot in her brain would spread and aggravate her condition. She hoped that Doctor Song would come back soon.
Knock, knock. A soft knocking sound suddenly came from the window.
Gu Yundong jumped up from the bed and immediately walked to the window. “Who is it?”
“Me.”
Shao Qingyuan? The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. “Wait a moment.”
She came out of the house and saw the man’s tall and handsome figure under the moonlight.
Damn it, why did it feel like every time they met, it was in the middle of the night? It felt like they were dating in private.
“The salt-baked chicken and spicy chicken are very delicious. Thank you,” Shao Qingyuan said.
“We agreed that since you helped me, I’ll cook delicious food for you. Besides, we ate a lot of the wild animals you hunted.”
“That’s why I’m here. I want to ask you for a favor.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. “What favor?”
Shao Qingyuan bent down and handed over a cloth bag by his feet..
