Gu Yundong was a little annoyed, but he was already gone, and she couldn't catch up with him.
Fortunately, she was living at Madam Ke's house now, so she could always see him, and she was not afraid that he would deny his debt.
Gu Yundong shook her head regretfully and left the teahouse.
It was getting a little dark now, and the people in the streets were packing up their stalls and going home one after the other.
Seeing the dirty Gu Yundong, all of them held their noses high in disgust and stayed far away from her.
Gu Yundong originally wanted to take a look at the city, but seeing this, she quickened her pace to go home.
Previously, she did not realize how dirty she was, but now she suddenly felt itchy and very uncomfortable.
When she walked to Madam Ke's house, she faintly heard voices coming from inside.
Pushing open the courtyard door, she saw her siblings sitting on a small bench, with their heads obediently raised, listening to Madam Ke in front of them.
Mother Yang, on the other hand, was squatting by the well, washing their clothes.
They only had two sets of clothes each, and it was difficult to find a pond on the road where they could wash and dry them, so both sets were dirty and could no longer be worn.
The clothes that Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunke were wearing should have been borrowed by Madam Ke from next door.
They didn't fit very well, but at least they were clean and comfortable. The clothes on Mother Yang's body were Madam Ke's, and they were a little short for her.
Madam Ke was facing the gate, so she was the first to see her.
She pursed her lips and said to her, "So dirty. Hurry up and wash yourself. I also borrowed clothes for you. They are in the west wing room. Go and get it yourself."
When the three members of her family heard this, they immediately turned their heads to look at her, with relieved smiles on their faces.
Madam Ke snorted coldly, "You came back so late. They all thought that you were gone and that you would never come back. Your mother was absent-minded while working, and those children were not in the mood to speak at all."
Mother Yang and Gu Yunke didn't react much to her words, but Gu Yunshu had already become sensible.
Hearing this, he couldn't help blushing, and said in a low voice, "We were just worried about Elder sister."
Gu Yundong stepped forward and rubbed his head, "Elder sister won't leave, you talk first. I'll go wash up."
She entered the west wing room. The room was not big, but it was clean and tidy, with good lighting and ventilation, making people feel very comfortable.
Mother Yang brought hot water for her and asked her to take off her clothes so that she could wash them.
Gu Yundong comfortably took a hot bath. Sadly, Madam Ke's house didn't have a big tub, so she could only fill the basin with water a few times to wash herself clean.
But even like this, it was already very good. At least after washing, she felt like her whole body had lost several catties.
After changing her clothes and letting her wet hair loose, Gu Yundong walked out of the room, refreshed.
At this time, the sky was getting darker, and her family was not in the yard. Instead, there was a slight movement from the kitchen.
Gu Yundong went over, following the sound, and she saw Madam Ke making pancakes and porridge, while Mother Yang was fanning the fire.
Seeing her come in, a hint of surprise flashed across Madam Ke's face.
Although, after the three others had washed their faces, she could see that the whole family was good-looking, seeing Gu Yundong still stunned her a little.
A fresh and clean young girl, if she could eat better and grow more flesh, she would become just too delicate and beautiful to describe.
Realizing that she had been a little distracted, Madam Ke hurriedly coughed and said, "I saw that you have traveled all day and that you don't have anything to eat. So for the sake of those three taels of silver, I will make dinner for you today. But let me tell you, from tomorrow on, you have to cook your own food, I won't care about it anymore."
