Grandma Xiao and Lu Zheng didn't stay in the old mansion for long before they went back.
He was only here to get to know the door.
After sending them off, grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu went to the kitchen and explained the situation to their grandchildren who were warming themselves by the fire. The grandfather and grandson were her friends, and they would help her out in the village if they could.
Uncle Gu was puzzled. Why didn't he remember that his mother had such a friend?
He only remembered that when he was young, his mother had brought him to old master Zhou's house in town and was friends with Mrs. Zhou. Later, Mrs. Zhou's daughter married into a high-ranking official's family in the capital, and Mrs. Zhou died of illness not long after!
How did her mother secretly have a friend?
Fourth uncle Gu was young, and when he was born, there was no Mrs. Zhou, so he had no idea.
