Gu Yundong began to believe what Nie Cong said, this cousin was indeed quite the nagger.
Nie Cong's cousin's surname was Ke, and her husband was her childhood sweetheart who grew up with her.
Unfortunately, he passed away within a year of being married due to an illness.
Madam Ke had no children and did not remarry again, so she lived her own life in the house they used to live in together.
Maybe it was because her surroundings were too deserted, that she especially liked to talk to children.
Others suggested that she adopt a child, but she did not agree, saying that she was comfortable being alone.
The house in front of Gu Yundong was not very big. Madam Ke lived in a room, and the west wing was given to them temporarily.
The main room in the middle was quite large, and there was a kitchen next to the west wing.
At the back of the yard, there was a small well, which was convenient.
At this moment, Madam Ke was pointing at the well and explaining to Mother Yang, "Get the water yourself, be careful, don't put water all over the yard. The kitchen is over there, and the bucket is inside. What are you doing, hurry up!"
Mother Yang couldn't help taking a step back with her two children.
She didn't know Madam Ke, but she felt that the other party was talking too fast, she couldn't even understand what she was saying, so how could she do anything?
As she was at a loss and thinking of running away, she saw Gu Yundong coming over.
Mother Yang hurriedly ran behind her and pointed at Madam Ke, "Dongdong, she talks a lot."
Gu Yundong squeezed her hand soothingly, and said in a low voice:
"Mother, she is Madam Ke, we are temporarily staying at her house, she will not hurt us, go fetch water first, and give Yunshu and Yunke a good scrub. After washing, we can sleep on a soft bed. We don't have to rush on our way anymore."
''Not on our way anymore ?" Mother Yang couldn't help but feel happy.
Gu Yundong nodded to her, watching Mother Yang excitedly run to fetch water, and then walked up to Madam Ke, who had been sizing her up, "Madam Ke, my name is Gu Yundong, this is three taels of silver. For the following month, we will trouble you to let us live here. My mother has a special condition. If you speak to her too much at once, she will panic, please don't mind it. "
Madam Ke was a little surprised. Listening to her words and seeing her actions, she did not have the timidity of a village girl at all, as if she had seen the world.
She took the money and nodded slightly, "You seem to be a reasonable person. As long as your mother can work and take care of you, I won't bother with you all. As for you ..."
Nie Cong was in a hurry so he couldn't help but interrupt her, "Cousin, I still need Miss Gu's help with something. I will trouble you to take care of her family first. I'll buy you Zhang Ji's lotus cake later."
"You stinky brat, humph... leave quickly."
He must have disliked her for talking too much.
Nie Cong smiled, and seeing that Gu Yundong had finished talking to Gu Yunshu, hurriedly took her away.
He took Gu Yundong to the teahouse first.
Gu Yundong was still wearing the same clothes she had worn during her journey to escape from the famine, and her face was dirty. Without him, the teahouse would have never let her in.
After telling her to wait in a private room, Nie Cong went to the Yamen and called a soldier who had seen the leader of the riot to come over.
When he came back, he also brought a whole set of brushes, ink, paper, and an inkstone.
Gu Yundong only took the paper and asked the waiter of the teahouse for a charcoal pencil.
Nie Cong didn't understand why, so he asked as tactfully as possible, "Don't you know how to use brushes?"
How could he have forgotten that she was a village girl and that she must never have studied?
Gu Yundong couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Okay, let's first talk about what the criminal looks like. The shape of his eyes, nose, mouth, and his head shape. Try to be as detailed as possible."
