Everyone looked over and saw a woman standing at the door. The woman’s voice was so soft that no one could hear what she said.

It was.. Madam Dong?

Dong Xiulan slowly walked in and stood beside Gu Yundong. She smiled at her. “Yundong, if you don’t mind, you can stay at my house.” historical

“Stay at your house?” Chen Liang looked at her in surprise. Because the Zeng family lived far away and the couple were quiet, their presence in the village was very low.

However, Chen Liang still knew about her family’s situation. The house was a little dilapidated. The man in the family had his leg smashed a few months ago and was still lying on the bed. The three children were still young. The family of five relied on Madam Dong to do some embroidery and exchange for a few copper coins.

According to Feng Daneng, the Gu family had hired them to cook some ginger tea for everyone to drink every day. It seemed that they were very familiar with each other.

Except..

Before he could speak, Madam Fang said, “Your house? You have a man in your house. Madam Yang is good-looking, and Gu Yundong is at the age of marriage. If they stay at your house, won’t others gossip?”

These words were very unpleasant to hear, but they were also the truth. However, Chen Liang still glared at Madam Fang.

Madam Fang pursed her lips and muttered softly, “For that bit of rent money, your family is really not careful.”

Dong Xiulan blushed at her words and couldn’t help but tug at her fingers.

“Village Chief, we won’t gossip if you stay at my house. Qingyuan promised me that he would let my man and big boy stay at his house. It’s also convenient.

Besides, the Gu family’s new house is built next to ours. It’s close for her to take a look.”

Chen Liang was stunned. Shao Qingyuan?

That kid lived alone and had two rooms at home. Zeng Hu and his son lived in his house, which was not far from home. The problem was not big.

However, he did not expect Shao Qingyuan to agree. They had been neighbors for so many years, and the relationship between the two families was better than he imagined.

Chen Liang thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.

If his sister-in-law was unwilling, there was no point in forcing her. It was inconvenient for both families to stay.

Hence, Chen Liang turned around and asked Gu Yundong, “Yundong, what do you think?”

“Yundong, although my house isn’t big, it’s quite clean. I’m also grateful to you for taking care of our family and giving me the job of making ginger tea. If you think it’s okay, you can stay at my house. When you’re busy, the girl and boy at home can help take care of Yunshu and Yunke. The distance is short to the homestead.”

Gu Yundong hesitated. Madam Dong was right. It was very convenient to stay at her house, especially since Yunshu and Yunke were two children. The village chief’s Gou Dan had gone to school in town. This was the reason why Chen Liang was not around this morning. He had personally sent his son to his master’s house.

Although she also wanted to send Yunshu, she had to wait until she settled down. It would be good to have someone take her around the village during this period of time.

Gu Yunke basically didn’t go out much. Madam Yang and Madam Dong could talk, and she could rest assured if she went to the river to wash clothes.

Yes, she actually felt that this idea was not bad.

Gu Yundong was about to nod when Madam Fang sneered. “You make it sound so nice. Isn’t it for money?”

Dong Xiulan was a little angry. She had sincerely wanted to invite Gu Yundong over, but she had never thought about the rent.

Gu Yundong ignored Madam Fang and smiled at Madam Dong. “Alright, then 1’11 have to trouble Auntie.”

Dong Xiulan immediately waved her hands happily. “No trouble, no trouble.”

Madam Fang snorted again and turned to leave.

Gu Yundong finally looked at her. “Wait a minute..”
