Nie Cong also felt that this was a strange person. He vaguely regretted letting him go without asking anything. Perhaps he was really a dangerous person?
However, he was already far away. It was too late for him to say anything.
He shook his head and smiled again. He said to Gu Yundong and the others, "Let's go. I'll take you there first."
"Okay."
Gu Yundong pulled up the pushcart again and followed behind Nie Cong. She continued the topic that had been interrupted. "You said that you wanted me to help you with something. What is it?"
"Ahem." Speaking of this, Nie Cong could not help but cough lightly. "It's like this. My aunt likes children, especially good-looking children."
Seeing that Gu Yundong was frowning and seemed to have misunderstood, he quickly got to the point. "I want your younger siblings to chat with my aunt when they're free."
"…" Gu Yundong could not understand his train of thought. "That's it?"
"Well, actually, it's mainly because my aunt is a little talkative. She won't stop for an hour." Nie Cong was also very helpless. "There are many children near her house, but you know that a four or five-year-old kid can't stand to listen to others. After a long time, people will avoid my aunt when they see her."
That was indeed quite nagging.
Gu Yundong looked down at her younger sister and brother who were walking. Er, it was just accompanying his aunt for a chat. There shouldn't be a problem.
Hence, she nodded decisively. "No problem."
Nie Cong was instantly overjoyed. "Don't worry, my aunt is a good person."
She was a good person yet the rent was so expensive. If only she could reduce the rent by chatting with her.
The few of them chatted as they turned into an alley. Not long after, they stopped in front of a house.
Nie Cong pushed the door open and entered first. Gu Yundong waited at the door with her younger brother and sister.
Only then did Gu Yunshu find an opportunity. He reached out and tugged at his sister's sleeve. He asked softly, "Sister, do I have to chat with her? Then what should I say?"
"You can listen to what she has to say." Gu Yundong squatted down and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face with water. They were already at her door, so they naturally had to tidy up. "After you listen to her, you can tell Eldest Sister about it later. Of course, you can also ask her questions. Any questions are fine."
Gu Yundong did not know much about Xuanhe Prefecture. They happened to meet a local old lady who liked to chat. Wasn't that the best source of information? She could everything that she should pay attention to along with useless gossip.
Gu Yunshu nodded, not fully understanding. On the other side, Gu Yunke had already stretched her little head over. "Eldest Sister, wipe me too."
"You shameless little girl." Gu Yundong tapped her little nose. "You have to chat with Older Brother and Old Madam too, understand?"
"I'll accompany Big Sister." She liked Big Sister more, and she didn't want to accompany her brother.
"If you're obedient, I'll make you something delicious later."
Gu Yunke immediately grabbed Gu Yunshu's hand. "I'll be obedient."
Gu Yundong felt that sooner or later, she would be abducted by someone with food. She was too easy to convince.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a shout. It seemed to be coming from the entrance of the alley. She did not know what had happened.
Gu Yundong could not really care about this matter right now. She quickly asked Madam Yang to bring the two children through the door. After closing the door, she walked cautiously towards the alley.
There was a big tree at the entrance of the alley. At this moment, there was a circle of people under the tree, pointing at the middle and saying something.
She stood on a rock and looked inside. She was stunned.
Wasn't that the young man she had seen at the entrance of the government office? Was he… tying someone up?
