Gu Yundong took a few more glances at the woman and remembered. Wasn’t this the in-law she had seen at Madam Fang’s house?
It seemed like… her surname was Wu.
According to Madam Fang, the family that was engaged to Chen Yulan was indeed from town.
Gu Yundong did not like Madam Fang and had an average impression of Auntie Wu. Hence, even if she recognized her, she pretended not to know her and walked past the two of them.
Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper suddenly said, “Miss Gu, this is our Madam.”
He pointed at another woman beside Auntie Wu and said, “You can tell Madam about your brother going to school first.”
Gu Yundong smiled. “There’s no need. We still have something to do, so we’ll leave first.”
She nodded at the teacher’s wife and led the family out of Wen Mo Hall.
The lady was stunned and asked the concierge, “What’s going on?”
The concierge explained their intentions. Madam frowned and did not say anything.
However, just as he turned to leave, she saw Madam Wu looking at Gu Yundong’s back thoughtfully. She could not help but ask curiously, “Why? Do you know him?”
Madam Wu came back to her senses and said with a smile, “I’ve met her once. She fled here a while ago and settled down in Yongfu Village. This family is not a good family. I heard that they like to take advantage of others and don’t know what’s good for them. You have to be careful. If such a family enters this school, I’m afraid your teacher will fall for her tricks.”
The madam’s expression changed slightly. She knew her master’s personality. He was pedantic and inflexible. Wouldn’t he be at a disadvantage when he met someone scheming?
After some thought, she instructed the concierge, “If you encounter that family again in the future, don’t let them in. Not everyone is accepted in our school. Character is very important.”
“Got it.”
Gu Yundong could still feel Madam Wu’s gaze from afar. They had only met once, so she did not know why she was sizing her up.
She secretly shook her head. When she saw Gu Yunshu lowering his head and looking depressed, she could not help but reach out and rub his head. “What’s wrong?”
“Eldest Sister.” Gu Yunshu pursed his lips and looked up at her again and again. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. “I… 1 don’t want to go to school anymore.”
Gu Yundong raised his eyebrows. “Why not?”
“I heard what the teacher said. He, he doesn’t allow students to work in the fields, but I’m the only man in our family. 1 have a lot of responsibilities. I want to work in the fields. 1 also have to do the work at home in the future.” Gu Yunshu looked up and said very firmly.
Gu Yundong was stunned. Looking at his tense little face, she felt her heart soften.
She squatted down and looked at him at eye level. She smiled and said, “Okay, then we won’t study here.”
Gu Yunshu nodded and blamed herself. “Eldest Sister, 1 know that I was too willful. You clearly worked so hard to let me go to school. Not only did you ask Niu Dan about the school, but you also bought a carriage to transport me. You even personally came all the way to the school to look for the teacher. In the end, the teacher even scolded you. 1 let Eldest Sister down. I’m a bad person.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. Baby, although 1 know you can find all kinds of excuses for Eldest Sister’s actions, isn’t this a little too much?
It’s true that I asked Niu Dan about the school for you. But buying a carriage was really just for my convenience. Moreover, it’s not a long journey from Yongfu Village to town..
