The yellow-toothed man waved his hand, "My family eats early, I’ve already eaten and have nothing to do now."
Yun Jiao then said, "I called you here for sothing; there are more and more people in my family now, and this courtyard isn’t enough to accommodate us."
"I want to buy the courtyard behind ours, but I don’t know if the owner is willing to sell it."
The family behind was separated by just a wall on this side.
Sotis when Yun Jiao went upstairs, she could see that the family’s courtyard was very tidy, square, and quite large.
The yellow-toothed man thought for a mont, "Is Doctor Gu planning to buy it and then connect the two?"
Yun Jiao nodded, "Connecting them would make it a two-section courtyard, more convenient for the won to live at the back."
The yellow-toothed man added, "Alright, I’ll go talk to their family tomorrow."
"I’m just afraid they’ll raise the price once they know you must have that house."
Yun Jiao pondered for a mont, "Even if it’s a bit more than the market price, by dozens or a hundred taels of silver, it doesn’t matter. But if they ask for too much, then forget it, I’m not a fool."
Having received confirmation, the yellow-toothed man said, "Alright, I’ll discuss it and let Doctor Gu know tomorrow."
After seeing off the yellow-toothed man, Yun Jiao washed her hands and went inside to eat, only to find Mrs. Chen sitting next to Gu Chuan with an unhappy expression.
Perhaps because of the failed attempt to feign illness last ti, Mrs. Chen no longer pretended to be sick, her discontent clearly written on her face.
Originally, Yun Jiao wasn’t going to look at her, but as she glanced at Xiao Chuan, her eyes accidentally landed on Mrs. Chen’s face.
She quickly looked away, feeling that after a busy day, she just wanted to rest and not see people who made her feel uneasy.
After finishing the al, Yun Jiao said to Mrs. Chen, "Mother, I’m taking Xiao Chuan out for a while."
Mrs. Chen agreed, "Co back early."
Ah Hu brought out the carriage, and Yun Jiao carried out a few things from the house.
Two boxes, a few bolts of cloth.
This was what she had asked Mrs. Chen to help purchase for her that afternoon.
She and Gu Chuan got into the carriage, and Gu Chuan asked, "Sister, where are we going?"
Yun Jiao stroked his head, "To Aunt’s house."
She hadn’t initially planned on visiting Aunt’s family, mostly because she didn’t really want to see Gu i again.
But since Aunt had seen her, it wouldn’t make sense not to visit once.
Gu Chuan had little impression of Aunt, not having seen her for more than three years. The last ti they t, he was just a four-year-old child, so his mories were already vague.
Yun Jiao didn’t know the exact location of Aunt’s house either.
She only rembered hearing her father ntion it was near the small cross street in the south of the city.
Upon reaching the small cross street, Yun Jiao got off the carriage to ask around for the Shen Family.
The Shen Family had lived in this area for several generations, so the neighbors basically all knew them. After finding out the specific location, Ah Hu drove the carriage over.
The carriage stopped in front of an old courtyard gate, and Yun Jiao got off to knock on the door.
A young woman’s voice ca from inside, "Who is it?"
Yun Jiao didn’t respond, already recognizing Gu i’s voice. She thought, just as she didn’t want to see Gu i, Gu i probably didn’t want to see her either.
After all, in Xiang City, only a few people knew Gu i’s background.
Gu i opened the door and, upon seeing Yun Jiao and Gu Chuan, suddenly beca at a loss, not knowing where to put her hands and feet. "You, how co you’re here?"
Yun Jiao stepped in and said lightly, "Ca to see Aunt."
Just then, Gu Lian was inside asking, "i Er, who’s here?"
Yun Jiao raised her voice, "Aunt, Xiao Chuan and I ca to see you."
