Chen Liang was very satisfied with her attitude. She was reasonable.
Hence, she subconsciously lowered her voice. “If you don’t want to live in the village, you can rent a house in town. It’s the same. Before you, a family lived in town. It’s just a little troublesome to go back and forth.”
“I’ll stay in the village.” Since she was going to build a house, she would definitely have to visit the homestead often. Not to mention that it was far from town, even her brother and sister would not follow her back and forth.
Chen Liang slapped his thigh. “Alright, then you’ll stay in the village. 1 originally thought that since you’re a family, you can live in an empty room of a family. Now that your father isn’t around, it’s not very convenient. How about this? My sister-in-law has an empty house. Her man is gone, and she and her daughter are the only ones living in their house. You can take care of each other when you go over. I’ll give you 200 copper coins a month. What do you think?”
Gu Yundong thought about it. The main reason was that they had too little choice. There was probably no place to live other than the widow’s house.
She was unfamiliar with this village. It was unrealistic for her to choose for herself.
“Two hundred copper coins won’t be a problem, but can I take a look at the house over there first?”
Chen Liang nodded. “Sure. Second Daughter-in-law, bring Miss Gu over and let your aunt know.”
The young woman who came to open the door immediately replied, “Got it, Father. Miss, follow me.”
Gu Yundong asked Madam Yang and the other two to wait for her here while she went over.
As soon as she left, Chen Liang’s wife, Madam Zhou, could not help but whisper, “Why did you ask her to stay with Second Sister-in-law?”
“What’s wrong? Isn’t it quite good? Second Sister-in-law lives with Yulan. There are no adult males in the Gu family. No one will gossip if they live there. Second Sister-in-law can also earn a rent.”
“But Second Sister-in-law’s personality…”
“What personality?” Chen Liang had an expression that said, “Isn’t she quite capable and virtuous?”
Madam Zhou immediately stopped talking. Men were all careless. In addition, the other party lived as a widow, so it was not easy to interact with Eldest Uncle. All these years, Madam Zhou had basically been the one who interacted with the other family.
Madam Fang liked to take advantage of others. However, when others suffered, she still had an innocent and aggrieved expression, making people feel suffocated.
If not for the fact that she no longer had a man, Madam Zhou would not have liked to interact with her.
Forget it. Actually, it was not a big problem. The Gu family would just stay until the house was built.
Madam Zhou did not say anything. Gu Yundong returned not long after. The girl called Yulan came with her. She was two years older than Gu Yundong and looked very cheerful and lively.
“Uncle, my mother agreed to let the Gu sisters stay at my house. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of them.”
Chen Liang immediately smiled. “Alright, let’s leave it at that for now.” He turned to look at Gu Yundong. “Do you want to look at the homestead now or later?”
“Let’s do it now.” Gu Yundong saw the owner of the house, Madam Fang.
She only took a glance at Madam Fang’s personality and did not completely understand it, but she knew that she was definitely a different kind of person from Aunt Ke. This did not matter. Moreover, she had asked the village chief’s daughter-in-law. There were a few widows in this village, but the rest either had sons or didn’t have enough rooms. There was no other choice.
Chen Yulan took the initiative. “Uncle, I’ll accompany Sister Gu to visit the homestead too.”
“Let’s go.”
Chen Liang stood up and walked out first.
Chen Yulan led Gu Yundong to the back. However, they had not walked far when Gu Yundong paused. It was indeed him. She had not seen wrongly in the carriage.
Could it be that the youth he had met in the prefecture city was also from this village?
Seeing that she had stopped, Chen Yulan followed her gaze curiously. She immediately trembled and whispered into her ear, “Don’t look at him. He’s a cold-blooded wolf. He doesn’t care about anyone..”
