Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The village chief was happily eating peanuts with the money Gu Yundong had given him.
When he saw his wife enter, he only raised his eyes slightly. “Have you tidied it up over there?”
“Alright, alright.” Madam Jiang waved her hand and sat on the brick bed. She reached out and snatched the money from his hand before putting it away. The village chief wanted to say something, but he immediately stopped when she glared at him.
Madam Jiang, on the other hand, was in high spirits. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Do you know what I found?”
“What?”
“Wasn’t that Miss Gu the one who kept talking to us just now? Her mother had been standing at the side and didn’t speak. At first, I thought she was a mute, but I didn’t expect…” She pointed at her head. “There seems to be a problem here.”
The village chief sat up straighter in surprise. “Really?”
However, he shook his head slightly. “It doesn’t look like it. She’s dressed neatly and cleanly. When she doesn’t speak, she’s like a quiet noblewoman. She’s not at all the same as that half-wit who just came to our village.” Madam Jiang pinched him. “Do you still think that she’s quite good-looking? You were looking so carefully.”
The village chief hurriedly shook his head. “I didn’t.” As he spoke, he touched his chin. “I was wondering why that little girl kept asking me about Fu Ming. It turns out that her mother is also sick.”
Madam Jiang also ate a peanut. “But it doesn’t look as serious as Fu Ming’s. I heard her speak like a child. She’s quite obedient. When she asked you, her tone was gentle. If you don’t pay attention to her expression, she’s really like a noblewoman. She dresses well too.”
“Look, you said that too. Then why did you pinch me just now and blame me for looking at her?”
Madam Jiang glared at him fiercely. “I can look, but you can’t. She’s a woman.
As a man, you’re a lecher if you look at her.”
The village chief said weakly, “She’s staying at our house. What if I don’t see her clearly and mistake her for someone else?”
Gu Yundong stood under the window outside and was speechless for a long time. She really did not mean to eavesdrop. She just wanted to come over and ask if Madam Jiang had hot water. She did not expect to hear the two of them talking about her name as soon as she walked over.
After all, she was afraid of encountering a shady shop when she was outside, so she listened more.
Unexpectedly…
This couple was indeed a match made in heaven. They were both so gossipy. Since they did not have any ill intentions, Gu Yundong did not say anything. She only stepped forward slightly and called Aunt when she was far away. Other than the gossip factor that had been burning, Madam Jiang was not bad in other aspects.
She would ask Gu Yundong and her mother about their tastes and if they were used to the temperature here and if they needed more blankets.
However, she would ask Gu Yundong some personal questions from time to time. If she could answer, she would. If she could not, Gu Yundong would smile. This made Madam Jiang even more itchy.
Gu Yundong was also speechless. Fortunately, they were only staying for a day. After dinner, she and Madam Yang went to rest.
The next morning, Gu Yundong prepared to set off. She led the carriage out and helped Madam Yang in.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, Madam Jiang suddenly called out to her, “Gu girl, I’ve packed some pickled radishes for you. Don’t you like them? Take them and eat slowly on the way.”
Madam Jiang marinated the radish herself. Her family did not like it, but Gu Yundong liked it very much. Madam Jiang was overjoyed.
Gu Yundong quickly went back and saw Madam Jiang walking over with a small jar.
She quickly took it. Unexpectedly, Madam Yang’s scream suddenly came from the carriage outside.. “Ah…”
