Chapter 445: Yu Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Grandpa Yu was overjoyed and strode forward to lead the way.
However, this journey… seemed to be a little far.
By the time they arrived at his place, they had been walking for nearly two hours.
Grandpa Yu looked a little embarrassed. He was used to walking, so he did not realize that there were two delicate young ladies following behind him.
He had completely forgotten that Gu Yundong had also fled all the way here. Her stamina was not inferior to his.
The Yu Family’s courtyard was actually very remote. It could be considered a slum in the prefectural city. The surroundings were filled with indecent people, and the road was filled with potholes. One could feel all kinds of smells when they walked into the alley.
The people here were dressed in shabby clothes. When they saw Gu Yundong, who looked like a young lady from a wealthy family, everyone glanced at them.
However, when they saw that it was the Yu family, some people with ill intentions could only sigh regretfully.
After all, the four strong men of the Yu family had all fled here. They were used to seeing dead people and were not to be trifled with.
Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao pretended not to see those gazes and entered the Yu family’s courtyard without looking sideways.
It was really a small courtyard. It was even smaller than Aunt Ke’s house where she lived back then. There was only one room.
Then there was the small kitchen, the outhouse, and a small courtyard.
Just because it was small, the rent was cheap.
Fortunately, there were only four men. It was fine to squeeze in the same room. In the past, the conditions were even worse when they escaped. Now, it was just a matter of adding two bed planks to the room.
Grandpa Yu let them sit and poured water for them with two thick clay bowls. Then, he asked, “Yundong, since you’ve settled down in the Xuanhe Prefecture, why did you come to Wanqing Prefecture this time?”
Gu Yundong took a sip of water. Although he did not add anything, it was still very refreshing and sweet. “Grandpa Yu, you know about my mother’s condition. We found a doctor to treat her. The doctor said that he was lacking an herb. Someone said that Wanqing Prefecture’s Xin family had this herb, so I came over to see if they could part with it.”
When Grandpa Yu heard about the Xin family, he frowned. “The Xin family is rich and powerful. They’re not to be trifled with. They don’t lack money. It’s difficult to get them to give you medicine.”
It was difficult, but she had to try no matter how difficult it was.
“Grandpa Yu, do you know who has the highest status in the Xin family?”
Grandpa Yu thought for a moment. “It should be that Second Young Master. I heard that Second Young Master married the daughter of the prefecture magistrate. That Eldest Young Master is not in good health. He never goes out. When Old Master Xin goes out, he always brings that Second Young Master along. It seems that more than half of the Xin family’s businesses are managed by Second Young Master.”
Gu Yundong pursed his lips. “How can I meet that Second Young Master?”
Grandpa Yu was shocked. “That’s hard to say. You want to meet Second Young Master Xin? Ask him for the herb?”
It was probably impossible to buy it. Gu Yundong wanted to understand the Second Young Master first and see if she could find a breakthrough from him.
As she was thinking, a voice suddenly came from outside.
“Father, I’m back.”
That person’s voice was loud and clear, but he was very thin. When he entered, he was stunned when he saw the two girls in the house. He immediately walked out in embarrassment and patted the dust off his body before entering again.
“Father, they are…”
“This is Yundong. Don’t you recognize her?” Grandpa Yu asked happily.
Gu Yundong also stood up and greeted, “Uncle Yu, long time no see.”
Uncle Yu widened his eyes and looked at Gu Yundong in shock.. “This is… Dajiang’s daughter?”
