Gu Yundong was relieved to see that she was indeed fine.
The next moment, she thought of Carpenter Pang, who had e earlier, and heard the clanging sounds outside. She could not help but ask softly, "What’s going on with you and Master Pang?"
Mei Hong blushed and subconsciously explained, "There’s nothing between us. It’s just that..."
Gu Yundong saw her stance and knew that Carpenter Pang was not having one-sided thoughts. She waved her hand. "Don’t be nervous. I’m just asking out of curiosity. Anyway, this is between the two of you. To be honest, Master Pang is a good person. If you have the same intention, why don’t you have a good chat?"
Mei Hong pursed her lips and did not speak.
Initially, she did not have much contact with Carpenter Pang. However, in the past half a month, every time she went home or to the Shao family, she had to pass by the entrance of the New Tea Pavilion shop.
Mei Hong was very concerned about this job, so she would enter the shop to take a look when she returned home. After all, she was more confident about the field exercise.
Every time she went, Carpenter Pang and the others were still working.
At first, Carpenter Pang and his disciples weren’t talkative. They were just like that and were very silent. When they saw her enter, they only nodded.
At some point, the two of them began to talk.
They didn’t say much, but slowly, a subtle feeling spread in each other’s hearts.
However, the two of them didn’t confess their feelings. When Carpenter Pang came over today, Mei Hong was actually still awake. However, there was a doctor in the room, so the two of them didn’t say anything. They just exchanged glances.
Gu Yundong smiled when she saw that she was deep in thought.
Soon, Tong Shuitao returned with the medicine. There was still some silver left from Mei Lan. She gave the money and medicine bag to Mei Lan and asked her to brew the medicine.
Then, she went out to help Carpenter Pang repair his house.
Apart from them, there were also two neighbors who were helping with the repairs. They were quite fast.
Seeing a girl like Tong Shuitao ing over, the two neighbors didn’t let her do anything. It wasn’t until Tong Shuitao carried the wooden beam with one hand and raised it in front of Carpenter Pang on the roof that the two neighbors widened their eyes and were speechless for a long time.
After the medicine was boiled, Mei Hong drank it and fell asleep.
Mei Lan had to prepare lunch. When the time came, she had to prepare food for those who helped repair the house.
Seeing this, Gu Yundong did not want to disturb them. She called Tong Shuitao and left first.
There were also neighbors outside the Mei family, including the auntie who had spoken to Mei Lin earlier.
Seeing her e out, the auntie immediately smiled. "It’s Boss Gu, right? Is Mei Hong alright? She was just lightly hit and will recover quickly. She’s especially diligent and came from the palace. She’s also literate. If you hire her to work, you definitely won’t lose out. Really."
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Mei Hong was very popular in this area.
She nodded. "I know, so I came to check up on her. Auntie, go ahead. I’ll go back first."
"Ah? You’re going back now? Should you have lunch or something..."
As she watched Gu Yundong walk further and further away, the auntie did not understand what she meant. Should she continue to hire Mei Hong or not?
Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao got into the carriage again. They did not feel it before, but now they felt a little cold.
The carriage quickly entered Hetai Alley. Gu Yundong alighted and pushed open the courtyard door.
Unexpectedly, the concierge suddenly said nervously, "Madam, we have an esteemed guest."
