Wolf cub? Didn't recognise his relatives?
Gu Yundong remembered the two times she saw him, the first time when he directly kicked a Yamen officer, and the second time when he took revenge on Shopkeeper Pan and hung from a tree. If you really tough of it, he was indeed merciless.
When she wanted to look at him again, the boy was already gone.
Chen Yulan next to her patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, he didn't look this way. Sister Gu, let me tell. You must be careful when you meet Shao Qingyuan in the future. He doesn't care if you are a girl. If you offend him, he will still beat you. That kind of person is heartless. The Shao family raised him for so long. It's okay if he doesn't appreciate it. But didn't even care about his grandfather who was the only one who treated him well. His grandfather fell out with the Shao family because of him and took him in to live together. As a result, he became seriously ill and Shao Qingyuan didn't even take care of him. He left his grandfather to fend for himself alone in the house in the house, and there was no one to collect his body after he died. But as for him, after only two days, he started to eat and drink."
"Yulan, what are you talking about? Hurry up! It's getting late, and I have already delayed lunch for a while."
Chen Liang had already walked far ahead of them, but when he looked back, he saw Gu Yundong being pulled by Chen Yulan as she was standing in place, not moving.
Chen Yulan closed her mouth hurriedly, pulling Gu Yundong to catch up with him in a few steps.
Gu Yundong didn't quite believe what Chen Yulan said. The boy named Shao Qingyuan didn't fit with the person she described.
But nethertheless, it had nothing to do with her.
The homestead mentioned by Chen Liang was at the end of the village, not far from the foot of the mountain. It couldn't be helped. After all, it was allocated from the officials, so it couldn't be in the center of the village.
The resettlement sites of the other two families were not in the same place as hers. This area was a bit deserted, with only two to three families around. Gu Yundong liked it very much, but one acre of land was a bit small.
Although it was extremely expensive to buy a 100-square-meter house in modern times, and that more than an 600-square-meter land was quite large here, she wanted to grow things inside a large enclosed yard and build a big house with large rooms for each of them.
Even if she didn't build a big house now, in the future, they would need more land.
She walked around the homestead for a while, then walked up to the village chief and said, "I want to buy another acre, so I can extend the land over there. How much money would it cost?"
Chen Liang was a little surprised. They were currently a family of four. So how big do their homestead needed to be? But if she wanted to buy it, it was not a problem.
Chen Yulan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Gu Yundong eagerly.
"The location here is relatively remote. One acre of land costs only five taels of silver." If it was at the center of the village, the price would have been drastically different.
"Okay."
Now that the size of the homestead was decided, Chen Liang took Gu Yundong back.
After a while, everyone in the village knew that Gu Yundong had escaped from the famine, and came here to settle.
They no longer looked envious and fearful expression like they did when the big carriage arrived, but now instead, their gazes were filled with sympathy and disdain.
The children who had gathered around the carriage and watched curiously were taken home by their parents, and some of them muttered before leaving, "It turned out to be a rented carriage. I thought they were from a wealthy family, so ostentatious. Pretending to be a noble lady in front of everyone. No wonder she could only give one piece of candy, while the other children waited greedily. So stingy."
Gu Yundong heard none of it, she had already entered the village chief's house and had bought the acre of land. The village chief would take care of the land deed tomorrow.
"There is one more thing I want to trouble the village chief with."
Chen Liang collected the money and asked her to sit, "I am listening."
