Chen Liang was very satisfied with her attitude; she was reasonable.

So, he unconsciously lowered his voice as he continued speaking, “If you don’t want to live in the village, you can also rent a house in the town, it’s all the same. Before you, there was another family who moved to the town, which was a bit inconvenient.”

“Let’s stay in the village.” Since they were going to build a house, they would need to frequently visit the homestead area. Besides, her younger siblings wouldn’t be able to accompany her back and forth if they stayed in the town.

Chen Liang slapped his thigh, “Alright, let’s stay in the village. I initially thought that since you’re a family, a household might have a spare room, but now that I see your father isn’t here, it’s not convenient. In that case, my younger sister has an empty house. Since her husband passed away, it’s just her and her daughter living there. You can take care of each other. How about two hundred wen a month, what do you think?”

Gu Yundong thought for a moment. The options available to them were limited, probably only widows’ houses were left. She wasn’t familiar with the village, and it wasn’t realistic to expect her to choose by herself.

“Two hundred wen is fine, but can I go and see the house first?”

Chen Liang nodded, “Sure, second sister-in-law, take Miss Gu over and let your sister-in-law know.”

The young woman who had opened the door earlier immediately responded, “Got it, Dad, Miss, come with me.”

Gu Yundong asked Yang Shi and her children to wait and went over alone.

As soon as she left, Chen Liang’s wife, Zhou, couldn’t help but whisper, “Why did you let them stay with Second Sister-in-law?”

“What’s wrong with that? It’s fine, isn’t it? Second Sister-in-law and Yulan only live together. Since there are no adult males in the Gu family, there won’t be any gossip. Second Sister-in-law can also earn some rent money.”

“But Second Sister-in-law’s temperament…”

“What’s wrong with her temperament?” Chen Liang had an expression that said, “Isn’t she capable and virtuous?”

Zhou didn’t say anything more. Men were careless, and it wasn’t easy to interact with someone who was widowed. Over the years, their families’ interactions had mostly been initiated by Zhou.

As for Sister-in-law Fang, she tended to take advantage of others. Even when others suffered losses, she would have a very innocent and aggrieved look, which was frustrating.

If it weren’t for her being a widow, Zhou wouldn’t have been keen on interacting with her.

Well, it wasn’t a big deal anyway. The Gu family would only stay until their house was built.

Zhou stopped talking, and Gu Yundong returned soon after. Along with her was a girl named Yulan, two years older than Gu Yundong and seemed cheerful and lively.

“Uncle, my mother said it’s okay for the Gu family to stay at our house. Don’t worry; I’ll take care of them.”

Chen Liang immediately smiled, “Alright, let’s go with that for now.” He turned to Gu Yundong, “About the homestead, do you want to see it now or later?”

“Let’s see it now.” Gu Yundong wanted to check the house and also saw the house owner, Fang.

She hadn’t completely understood Fang’s temperament at first glance, but she knew she was definitely different from Sister-in-law Ke. That didn’t matter much, especially since she had asked the village chief’s daughter-in-law about it, and there weren’t many other options in the village.

Chen Yulan volunteered, “Uncle, I’ll accompany Sister Gu to see the homestead.”

“Let’s go.”

Chen Liang stood up and walked out first.

Chen Yulan led Gu Yundong behind her. However, just after they walked out of the house, Gu Yundong stopped abruptly. It was him, the young man she had met in the capital before. Could it be that he was from this village too?

Seeing her stop, Chen Yulan followed her gaze curiously. She immediately shuddered and whispered to her, “Don’t look at him, don’t look at him. He’s just a wolf cub who doesn’t recognize his own family.”
