Wolf cub? And he doesn’t recognize his own family?

Gu Yundong remembered the two times she had seen him. Once when he kicked a constable, and the second time when she hung Mr. Pan, the shopkeeper, from a tree to settle a score. If she looked at it that way, he was indeed ruthless.

When she wanted to take another look, the young man was already gone.

Beside her, Chen Yulan patted her chest, “It’s a good thing you didn’t look this way. Let me tell you, Gu girl, you must be careful when you encounter Shao Qingyuan in the future. He doesn’t care if you’re a girl; if you provoke him, he’ll still hit you. He’s heartless. Shao’s family raised him, but he’s ungrateful. He even ignores his grandfather, who was the only one good to him. His grandfather had a falling out with Shao’s family because of him and moved out with him alone. But later, when his grandfather fell seriously ill, Shao Qingyuan didn’t care at all. He left his grandfather to fend for himself and even after his grandfather died, he didn’t arrange for anyone to collect the body. But as for him, he started feasting after just two days.”

“Yulan, what are you saying? Hurry up, it’s getting late. Let’s not delay lunch.” Chen Liang had already walked quite a distance out, but when he turned back and saw Gu Yundong standing still, pulled by Chen Yulan, he stopped.

Chen Yulan quickly silenced herself and hurriedly pulled Gu Yundong a few steps to catch up.

Gu Yundong didn’t really believe what Chen Yulan said. That guy named Shao Qingyuan didn’t seem like the person Chen Yulan described.

But whatever, it didn’t concern her.

The homestead Chen Liang mentioned was at the end of the village, not far from the foot of the mountain. After all, it was allocated by the authorities, so it couldn’t be in the center of the village.

The settlement areas for the other two families were not in the same place as hers. This area was a bit desolate, with only two or three households nearby.

However, Gu Yundong quite liked it, except that one mu of land was a bit small. Although in modern times, buying a house of a hundred square meters was expensive to death, and a mu of land was already more than six hundred square meters, but here, Gu Yundong wanted a large courtyard where she could plant something. Each room should ideally be for one person.

Even if they didn’t need to build it too large for now, there would be times when they would need it in the future.

She walked around the homestead and then walked back to the village chief. “I want to buy another mu, extending over there. How much silver?”

Chen Liang was somewhat surprised. There were only four people in their family currently; did they need this much land? But since they wanted to buy it, there was naturally no problem.

Chen Yulan, who was beside them, also brightened up and looked at Gu Yundong eagerly.

“This area is relatively remote. If it’s one mu of land, it’s five taels of silver.” If it were in the center of the village, the price would be different.

“Okay.”

Since the location and size were settled, Chen Liang took Gu Yundong back.

With this back and forth, the people in the village also knew that Gu Yundong had fled to this place. When they looked at her, their expressions changed a bit. They no longer looked at her with the envy and fear they had when they saw the large carriage earlier. Instead, there was a hint of sympathy and disdain.

The children who had been curious around the carriage were taken home by their elders. Some of them muttered as they left, “So it’s a rented carriage? I thought it was from a wealthy family, flaunting their wealth and pretending to be a young lady. No wonder they only handed out one piece of candy; they were so stingy.”

Gu Yundong didn’t hear this. She had already entered the village chief’s house and bought the additional land. The village chief would handle the land deed on another day.

“There’s one more thing I’d like to trouble the village chief with.”

Chen Liang took the silver and gestured for her to sit down. “Go ahead.”
