However...
Gu Yundong didn't trust him, she believed in Nie Cong.
Her main requirement was that the village chief's character should be decent.
Although Chen Liang had some small ideas of his own, he was very clear on major matters. He would definitely not cheat her when it came to building a house.
It's normal for people to have small thoughts.
Now as long as she finishes the plans of the house soon, she could start the construction fast and move in quickly.
When they arrived at the Second house of the Chen family, Gu Yundong took down all the things in the carriage, and Chen Yulan enthusiastically helped her move them. There were not many things inside, just two back baskets, and she did need her help at all. Gu Yundong and Mother Yang took them down one by one.
Then she paid the driver and let him go.
The Second House of Chen family was not far from the village chief's house. It had a small courtyard. There were only two people in the house, the mother and her daughter, but they were quite clean.
Madam Fang looked like a very weak woman with a faint smile on her face. As soon as she saw them coming in, she pulled Mother Yang to talk.
Mother Yang didn't know her, so she was frightened and immediately hid behind Gu Yundong.
Gu Yundong smiled at Madam Fang, "My mother is timid and is not used to interacting with strangers. If Aunt Fang has anything to say, you can tell me."
Madam Fang also saw that something was wrong with Mother Yang so she smiled and nodded.
Gu Yundong took everything to her room and also gave a small bag of jujube cake to Chen Yulan, thanking her for her help today. Then she said that she was a little tired and wanted to go back to her room to rest.
Chen Yulan took the jujube cake and went to Madam Fang's room.
As soon as she entered the door, her smile faded, and her face fell, "I helped her so much despite my busy schedule, but the jujube cakes given to us are not as much as those given to uncle. Isn't it looking down on us?! Isn't it bullying us orphan and widowed mother ?"
Madam Fang opened the jujube cake package and ate it, "It's alright. They will have to live with us for a long time in the future. There will always be occasions to take benefits from them. Didn't you see her mother, she is a fool ! They are weak. Later, we can coax Mother Yang to give us food or other good things. I think they must have some wealth. By the way, let's not cook tonight. After they cook, let's say a few good words. She will be too embarrassed to not invite us to eat."
"Can we really do this?"
"Why not? They are new here. They don't have any relatives or friends with them, and there is no adult man too. So they shouldn't have a good relationship with the people in our village. Besides, your uncle is the village chief, so she has to please us."
Chen Yulan nodded after hearing this. How could Gu Yundong know that her sending some jujube cakes as a normal favor, would not only left them dissatisfied because they wanted more, but they even started to scheme over dinner.
They didn't cook for lunch, as they had bought a lot of steamed buns before leaving the county town this morning, so they finished them with pickles.
Mother Yang and the two little ones made the bed and went to take a nap.
Gu Yundong sat at the table, took a charcoal pen and paper, and began to draw the floor plan of the house. She had a more modern house in mind, but here, many aspects of it could not be implemented. She could only try to build it as comfortable and convenient as possible. One room per person, two guest rooms and two study rooms.
After the house was built, she would definitely make money to send Gu Yunshu to school.
When Gu Yunshu was at home before, he started to learn to recognize some characters with Gu Dajiang.
This child had inherited Gu Dajiang's talent, and he will definitely be successful in the future if he studied hard.
