Chapter 992: Thick-skinned
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong was stunned. She had always been sharp. From what Dong Xiulan said, the person who asked her for help seemed to have something to do with her? Otherwise, why would Dong Xiulan reassure her?
Dong Xiulan did not realize what she had exposed. She pulled Gu Yundong out.
“Alright, it’s fine. Go back. Didn’t you say that you’re going to the prefectural city? Hurry up and prepare the things. I’ll go take a look at Qingyuan.”
“Brother Shao has gone to the county town.” Gu Yundong pulled her back. “Auntie, why did that person ask you for help? It has something to do with me, right? Do they want to enter the workshop, or be a shop assistant, or grow fruit trees in an orchard?”
Dong Xiulan was stunned. How did Yundong know that the person’s request had something to do with her?
She didn’t want to answer. “No, no. It has nothing to do with you.”
...
“If Auntie doesn’t tell me, I’ll take it that the people from the other villages have ulterior motives and I’ll go to look for the village chief.”
Gu Yundong was about to leave when Dong Xiulan hurriedly grabbed her.
She couldn’t dissuade her, so she sighed and said irritably, “It’s someone from our village. That person just now was the wife of the second son of the Li family.”
The second son of the Li family? Who was that?
Seeing that she had not thought of him, Dong Xiulan quickly reminded her, “It’s the family that adopted Qingyuan, the second son of the Li family.”
Gu Yundong did not like the Li family at all. Hearing this, she frowned. “Haven’t we never interacted? Why are they looking for you?”
“The second son of the Li family is about to get married. He’s marrying He Ye’s niece, He Xiu. I don’t know what they’re thinking. They want me to make peace in front of Qingyuan and let him attend the wedding banquet. They even said that what Eldest Li and his wife did was unforgivable, but they didn’t harm Qingyuan. No matter what, Qingyuan has called them Second Uncle and Second Aunt for so many years. They’re all relatives and should get along.”
Gu Yundong: ???
Relatives? In the past, when Shao Qingyuan lived alone in the straw hut, why didn’t Second Uncle and Second Aunt say that they were relatives?
Moreover, the last time she went to Old Master Li’s house to cause a scene, she seemed to have exposed Old Master Li’s true colors, right?
Shao Qingyuan had a grudge against Old Master Li. As his son, how could he have the cheek to say that they were relatives?
Indeed, the charm of money was irresistible.
If Shao Qingyuan was still a poor kid without money, they wouldn’t have to go through this.
However, this was not the end…
Dong Xiulan continued, “There’s also the He family. They heard that Zhuangzi’s family went to the prefectural city and insisted that I e to look for you. They said that they wanted you to send a message to Shi Dashan and his wife so that they could e back for the wedding banquet. They said that there was some unhappiness last time. They wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile.”
The He family really didn’t know that Zhuangzi’s family had gone to the prefectural city. They thought that Shi Dashan and his wife were at least staying at home.
Unexpectedly, when they came over, the house was locked.
Gu Yundong was speechless. So severing ties was a joke?
These two families really knew how to find soft persimmons to bully. They knew that Dong Xiulan had a good relationship with them and was soft and easy to talk to, so they asked her to persuade them.
No wonder Auntie’s expression was not good when she entered just now.
“Auntie, you don’t have to worry about it. In any case, we’re going to the prefectural city tomorrow. They won’t be able to find us.”
Dong Xiulan nodded. “I know. I didn’t plan to agree to them either. They’re just too annoying.”
She would go to the workshop in a while. The second son of the Li family’s wife did not dare to look for her in the workshop anyway.
