Chapter 37 Two news

Gu Yundong raised her head in surprise when she saw the tael of silver.

Madam Ke said somewhat unnaturally, "I won't eat your food for free. This tael of silver will be used as food money. You have to cook meals for several people. You can also make mine at the same time to save trouble. Is that enough money?"

"Enough, enough."

"Come with me to buy groceries another day, I know the stalls where the food is cheap and fresh."

Gu Yundong put the money away and nodded immediately, "No problem."

Today, she had spend one tael of silver, and coincidentally that one tael come back. She did not feel so distressed anymore.

Gu Yundong happily placed the bowl on the table, the two children and Mother Yang couldn't help but look at the dishes on the table with admiration.

This elder sister was really amazing. They had never smelled such a fragrant smell.

Gu Yunke took a mouthful of the steamed egg, and her whole face seemed to glow, she couldn't help being intoxicated.

"Slippery and delicious."

Gu Yundong looked a little sad looking at her. That little girl had never eaten steamed eggs before.

Grandmother Zhao was very stingy with their branch, and all the delicious food would be given to the second branch and third branch.

If they dared to be greedy, they would be slapped without mercy.

She scooped out a big spoonful for Gu Yunke, "Eat more if you like it. Big sister will make it often for you in the future."

"Big sister, you are so nice." The little girl raised her head and smiled cutely, "I like it here, I

don't get scolded, Second sister doesn't beat me, and the food is delicious, even better than in my dreams."

The Second sister she was talking about was their cousin from the second branch, one year younger than Gu Yundong, but she was domineering.

Seeing that Gu Yunke was pink, tender, and looked better than her, she would often pinch her.

The little girl would the cry and run to find Gu Yundong.

The original Gu Yundong was weak and a crybaby, but she still went to argue with Second sister and it ended up in a quarrel.

Aunt Shi immediately slapped her, causing her ears to bleed and she had to lay in bed for several days in order to recover.

The little girl was so frightened, that she never complained again and would cry silently when she was pinched. Later on, she would simply stay in the room all day without going out.

Now that the Zhao family was gone, and her Second sister too, her personality had gradually become more cheerful.

Gu Yundong felt sad and relieved at the same time. She felt a sense of accomplishment by making the lives of those three better. 

Gu Yunshu and Mrs Yang also felt sorry for Gu Yunke, and each of them gave her a spoonful of steamed eggs to eat.

The little girl had her eldest sister sitting on her left and her brother sitting on her right. She felt so happy that her mouth was filled with laughter. 

She was very cute, and Gu Yundong couldn't help but want to pamper her.

Not only her, Mother Yang, Gu Yunshu, and Madam Ke, all of them were full of praise for her

cooking, and the dishes were whipped clean.

They had never imagined that such a day could be possible. 

Gu Yundong also liked such peaceful days. The only thing that worried her was that the money was running low little by little.

Fortunately, three days later, Nie Cong finally showed up at the gate of Madam Ke's house, covered in dust.

Moreover, it brought her two unexpected news.

When Nie Cong met Gu Yundong again, he almost didn't recognise her.

Was it really that little girl with dirty hair and ragged clothes ? She was actually ... so beautiful?

Gu Yundong ignored his surprise and extended her hands, just like a debt collector, "My money."

Yes, that voice was very familiar, it's was really her.

Nie Cong then reached for his money bag and took out a banknote from it.
