Gu Yundong’s footsteps hesitated slightly, and Mrs. Zhou came over and pulled her aside.

Then she lowered her voice and said, “Yundong, you’re too bold. When the house was robbed, why didn’t you shout loudly? You just tied people up like that? Aren’t you offending them to death?”

Mrs. Zhou hadn’t seen the commotion; she had gone to the river to wash clothes early this morning. At the time, she had wondered why there were so few people washing clothes today, only to find out what had happened when she returned.

She also didn’t know about Gu Yundong’s methods at the time.

“You’ve only just come to Yongfu Village. Offending people like this is not good for you or your family.”

Gu Yundong knew Mrs. Zhou was concerned for her own good. Although she didn’t agree with her viewpoint, she still smiled and said, “Auntie, if I don’t do this, everyone will think our family can be pushed around. Then, can I still keep our newly built house with green bricks and tiles?”

“But…” Mrs. Zhou hesitated. Of course, she knew that many people were guessing how much money the Gu family had and were jealous.

In fact, she had reminded Gu Yundong from the beginning not to attract attention by building such a good house. It made sense not to reveal one’s wealth, but the Gu family felt that living comfortably was most important. There is no such thing as a thousand days of thievery; there’s no reason for a thousand days of vigilance.

Mrs. Zhou sighed, and was about to say something else, when she heard Chen Liang’s rebuke from the main room, “Nonsense! You’ve already taken their rent. Once a deal is made, there’s no changing it. If you don’t let them stay now, where can the Gu family move to with so many people?”

Gu Yundong and Mrs. Zhou nodded to each other and walked straight into the main room.

Apart from Mrs. Fang, there was also Chen Yulan and Chen Liang’s second son present. The young master from the Liu family who came with the Fang mother and daughter was not there.

Mrs. Fang was still a little afraid of Chen Liang, so her voice immediately softened, “But look at what Gu Yundong has done. If it weren’t for her flaunting herself, how could she have attracted thieves? I don’t even know if our things are missing. And today, she offended that rascal, Hu Liang. What if he comes back for revenge someday?”

Chen Yulan also said, “Yes, Uncle, my mother and I are just two weak women. How can we deal with a few rascals? Yundong sister is not easy, but my mother and I are also innocent.”

“That’s right. After this year, Yulan is going to marry into the Wu family. I just hope that during this time, we can go smoothly without any trouble. If something unexpected happens during this time, how will the Wu family think of our family?”

Chen Liang was not happy with being criticized by these two women. “You, you…”

“Uncle Chen.” Gu Yundong walked in. “If you don’t want us to stay, then we won’t. I’ll move out.”

To be honest, living in Mrs. Fang’s house made her uncomfortable. Originally, she thought there was no other choice, so she would just live month by month.

But now, it seemed that moving to town was also an option.

Feng Shu was a trustworthy person. With him watching over things, she didn’t need to rush back to Yongfu Village every day to check on the progress of the house.

She could also take the opportunity to see the environment in town and ways to make money. It would also be convenient for shopping.

Moreover, her goal of staying in the village had already been achieved. Those who harbored ill intentions toward her family were now less likely to target them.

As soon as Gu Yundong finished speaking, Chen Liang frowned. “Then where will you stay?”

After today’s incident, no one in the village would be willing to rent to her.

“Come stay with me.” A voice suddenly sounded from the doorway.
