The carriage stopped in front of the Zeng family’s house. The six members of the Tong family alighted one by one. They looked up and saw the dilapidated mud brick house in front of them.
Even though they were mentally prepared, they still found it unbelievable.
Especially after Gu Yundong brought them into the courtyard and they saw the narrow road with the low courtyard walls, they looked at each other.
The master’s house… was actually like this?
The Tong family really could not understand. The master had spent so much money on them. Why did she not use it to repair the house?
Until Gu Yundong said to them, “Our house has just been built. We can only move in the day after tomorrow. We’ll make do here for the next two days. The men will squeeze in the Shao family next door first, and the women will stay here. This is Auntie Dong. This is her home. Auntie Dong has already helped pack your room. Go take a look and put down your luggage.”
Dong Xiulan knew that she had gone out early in the morning to buy people, so she quickly tidied up the unoccupied room in her house.
The Shao family could also vacate a room, so they could arrange it.
The Tong family hurriedly nodded. After Gu Yundong introduced the others, the women followed Dong Xiulan into the house, and the man followed Shao Qingyuan to the next room.
When they went out, they happened to see the Gu family’s green brick tiled-house. All of them were a little surprised. They did not expect such a house to exist in the countryside. They wondered who lived inside.
The Tong family were all people with work to do in their eyes. Especially when they were in an unfamiliar place, they were more or less trembling in fear.
Therefore, as soon as they put down their things, they immediately came out to help chop firewood, fetch water, and cook dinner.
Dinner was quite sumptuous. After all, there were more people in the house and they had earned more money. It was something to celebrate.
During dinner, Gu Yundong mentioned that there was an additional shop in the house.
The Zeng family was very surprised. “You have a shop? Where is it? How big is it? Are you planning to sell white sugar?”
Gu Yundong nodded. “It’s used to sell white sugar. It’s in the east of the city. However, the shop hasn’t been vacated yet. It can only be used in a few days. When the time comes, I’ll have to ask Uncle Feng to help change the layout inside. When it opens, everyone will join in the fun.”
Madam Dong was very happy. “Alright, I’ll definitely go.”
Gu Yunshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had been worried that his family would run out of money after buying servants. He had been debating the entire day whether he should owe the teacher his tuition fees first and pay them in a few years.
Now that he heard from his eldest sister that his family had a shop and a source of income, there was no problem.
Gu Yunshu was relieved. He had an extra big bowl of food for dinner.
Gu Yundong turned around and saw the expression on his face. She suddenly had a headache. Why did her brother think that his family was so poor that they could not even pay his tuition? She clearly acted like… she was rich.
If he was worried at such a young age, he might not grow up tall in the future.
After dinner, the Tong Family members began to clean up.
Gu Yundong returned to her room. After a while, she came out with the bag she had brought back from the county.
Everyone was busy and did not see her.
Gu Yundong came out of the Zeng family’s back door and went straight to the next door.
Shao Qingyuan was feeding the horses. The Liu family’s carriage was temporarily resting at his house. Liu Wei had said that he could return it when he was free.
When he saw Gu Yundong enter, he was slightly stunned and could not help but stop what he was doing..
