Only Gu Yundong and Madam Yang were in the room. Shao Qingyuan and the rest had returned to their rooms.
Ding Jincheng let out a sigh of relief after bringing him over. “Yundong, I’ve brought him over. This is his household register. I’ll leave it here.”
After saying that, he placed the thing on the table and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Bian Yuanzhi subconsciously took two steps forward. However, he soon stopped and watched the door close in front of him.
It was as if all the light had been blocked outside. He stood there alone, not knowing what to do.
A gentle voice came from behind him. “Are you Yuan Zhi?”
Bian Yuanzhi’s petite body trembled slightly as he slowly turned around. He then took two steps back and pressed his back against the wall, watching her carefully.
Naturally, he did not recognize Gu Yundong. Gu Yundong was dressed very differently from before. Even if she was wearing the same clothes as before, he would not recognize his cousin.
After all, the last time they met was in the first month of last year when he went to visit his uncle. He did not stay for long. Most of the time, he played with Gu Yunshu, who was about the same age, and did not speak much to Gu Yundong.
When Gu Yundong saw his frightened expression, she cursed the Gu family in his heart.
She took two steps closer to him. Bian Yuanzhi wanted to hide into the wall.
“You don’t remember me? Then do you remember your eldest uncle?” Gu Yundong stopped in front of him and squatted down to ask him.
Bian Yuanzhi was stunned. Eldest Uncle? Of course, he remembered that Eldest Uncle doted on him a lot.
Before his sister died, she had said that if he returned to his hometown and didn’t see his parents, he should look for his eldest uncle or fourth uncle. However, when he arrived at the Gu family, he couldn’t find his eldest uncle or fourth uncle. He only saw his second and third uncles, who had never treated him well.
Gu Yundong tried her best to make the smile on her face look kind and gentle. “I’m your eldest uncle’s daughter, Cousin Yundong. Do you remember?”
Bian Yuanzhi’s body was not as tense as before. He just widened his eyes in surprise.
Gu Yundong asked again, “Do you still remember Ah Shu? I remember that you guys played together last year and you said that he was your best friend. I’m Ah Shu’s sister.”
“Ah, Ah Shu? Eldest Uncle?” Bian Yuanzhi finally opened his small mouth and muttered softly. He looked at Gu Yundong, who was showing him kindness, and vaguely felt that he had seen her before… “Cousin?”
“Yes, I’m your cousin.” Gu Yundong smiled. “My current home is very far away. It’s called Yongfu Village. I came back here to look for your eldest uncle, but I couldn’t find him. I met Ding Jincheng and found out that you had been sent to the Gu family and had suffered a lot. That’s why I asked him to bring you out. Yuanzhi, are you willing to go home with me?”
“Go home?” Bian Yuanzhi’s mind was in a mess. It turned out that she didn’t want to buy him as a slave.
Only then did Gu Yundong reach out and hold his tiny shoulders. She nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll bring you back to your eldest uncle’s house. Yunshu and Yunke are both there. Cousin and your eldest aunt are also there.”
Bian Yuanzhi came back to his senses and nodded quickly, “I-I’m willing to. I can work, cook, wash clothes, and feed pigs. I’ll go to Eldest Uncle’s house. Is that okay?”
Although he was unfamiliar with his cousin in front of him, he still remembered Ah Shu. Even if he was asked to go over and continue working, it did not matter to him..
