Chen Liang was very satisfied with her attitude, which is he found reasonable.
Therefore, he unconsciously softened his tone when he spoke to her again, "If you don't want to live in the village while waiting, you can also rent a house in the town, it's the same. There was a family before you who lived in the town, but it was troublesome to go back and forth"
"We will live in the village." If you wanted to build a house, you needed to go to the construction site from time to time. Not to mention the distance to the town, her younger siblings would not be able to run back and forth with her.
Chen Liang patted his thigh, and said "Okay, then you will live in the village. I originally thought that you were a family, and one family would be able to spare you a room. But now that your father is gone, it's not very convenient. My brother passed away and now my sister-in-law has a vacant room. She and her daughter are the only people in their family. This way, you can take care of each other. For one month, the rent is two hundred wen, what do you think?"
Gu Yundong thought about it for a while. Their range of options was pretty small. There was probably no other place for them to live except this widow's house.
She was unfamiliar with this village, and it was not realistic for her to choose by herself. "Two hundred coins is no problem, but can I go check out the house first?''
Chen Liang nodded, "Yes, Second daughter-in-law, take Miss Gu over there and explain the situation to your aunt."
The young woman who came to open the door before immediately answered, "I understand Father, Girl, come with me."
Gu Yundong asked her family to wait for her here, and left by herself.
As soon as she left, Madam Zhou, Chen Liang's wife, couldn't help but whisper, "Why did you let those people live with Second sister ?"
"What's the matter? Isn't it good? Second sister lives alone with Yulan. There is no adult male in the Gu family, so there will be no gossip if they live there. Second sister can also earn rent money."
"But Second sister's temper..."
"What with her temper?" Chen Liang looked like he didn't understand what his wife was talking about, with a very virtuous expression on his face.
Madam Zhou immediately stopped talking. Men were so careless, the other party was a widow, and it was no easy for the mother-daughter duo to get in touch with him. Over the years, it was basically Madam Zhou who maintained the interactions between the two families.
Madam Fang liked to take advantage of people. If others suffered a loss because of her, she would then show a very innocent and aggrieved expression, which made people feel heartbroken.If it wasn't for her being a widow, Madam Zhou would not want to interact with her at all.
Forget it. Truthfully, it was not a big problem. The Gu family would only have to live with her until their house was built.
Madam Zhou didn't say anything when Gu Yundong came back not long after. With her was a girl named Yulan, who was two years older than Gu Yundong and looked very cheerful and lively.
"Uncle, my mother said it's okay to let the Gu family live in our house. Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Chen Liang immediately laughed, "Okay, let's do this for now." Then, he turned to look at Gu Yundong,"As for the homestead, do you want to look at it now or later?"
"Let's go now." Gu Yundong had already seen the house and met the owner, Madam Fang. She didn't fully grasp Madam Fang's temperament just yet, but she already deduced that she was totally different from Madam Ke. It didn't matter though.
She had inquired with the village chief's daughter-in-law. There were several widows in this village, but they either had sons, or they couldn't live in their house, so they really had no other choice.
Chen Yulan took the initiative, and said "Uncle, I will also accompany Sister Gu to see the homestead."
"Alright, let's go." Chen Liang got up and walked out first. Chen Yulan walking behind with Gu Yundong, but just after walking out of the house, Gu Yundong paused.
Sure enough, it was really him. Earlier, she had seen it right from the carriage.
Could it be that the young man she met before in Xuanhe city was also from this village?
Seeing her stop, Chen Yulan followed her line of sight curiously. Her body trembled immediately, and she whispered in her ear, "Don't look at him, don't look at him, he is a wolf cub who doesn't recognise his relatives. "
