Not only did he fail, but he also had to pay five taels of silver.

How could the Qian family have it?

Actually, the old lady of the Qian family had also heard that something had happened to her grandson and rushed to Yongfu Village. However, she walked slowly and met Big Qian halfway.

The next day, he went out to look for work and never came back.

Gu Yundong had never thought of urging them to repay their debts. Although she had an IOU on hand, she did not write down the repayment date at that time. After knowing that Big Qian only had Grandma Qian at home, she would not go.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Qian came to visit during the New Year.

The room was warm. Grandma Qian felt that her hands were not as cold as before, so she slowly took out a cloth bag.

The cloth bag was spread out in her hand. She opened it layer by layer, slowly revealing the silver inside.

Trembling, she placed the silver pieces on the table one by one and counted them as she did so. When she was done, she looked at Gu Yundong. “Miss, this is the five taels of silver that we owe you. I’ve brought it all over.”

Gu Yundong was speechless for a long time.

Grandma Qian lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Big Qian is a good child. He just took a wrong turn in a moment of folly and won’t do it again. He didn’t want to default on this money. That day, he ran out to find work and only came back this morning. As soon as he arrived home, he said that he had earned the money he owed you. Now that he’s tired and sleeping at home, I brought it over for you. Miss, I’m sorry. Please forgive him and don’t blame him, okay?”

Gu Yundong met her slightly turbid eyes and felt a lump in her throat.

After a while, she said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Yes, I’ll forgive him if he can change his ways.”

The wrinkles on Grandma Qian’s face loosened, and she smiled until her eyes narrowed. “Alright, alright. I’ll go back now.”

After saying that, she took her walking stick and was about to leave. She did not even ask for the IOU.

Gu Yundong quickly helped her sit down. “Granny Qian, there’s no hurry to leave. It’s the New Year. How can you not even drink a glass of water when you come to my house? Come, this is sugar water. Try it. It’s sweet.”

“Miss, I…”

“Besides, Big Qian even gave me an IOU back then. I don’t even know where I put it. I have to find it and return it to you, lest I can’t explain it in the future, right?”

When Grandma Qian heard this, she remembered that there was such a thing. This time, it was not easy for her to leave.

Gu Yundong placed the walking stick aside and stuffed a warm cup into her hand. She subconsciously picked it up and took a sip. She was stunned.

It was really sweet. It was different from the brown sugar she drank when she was young. Other than sweetness, there was no other taste.

Gu Yundong brought her soft pastries again, but the old man refused to eat them.

At this moment, Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunke returned. She waved and asked them to coax Grandma Qian to eat.

She turned around and returned to her room, quickly finding the IOU.

She looked at the note in her hand and sighed slightly.

She had to accept the five taels of silver. Since the guy had done it, he had to pay the price. If she saw that the other party was pitiful and let him go easily, then how could she manage the workshop and shop? When the other party did something wrong later, he would cry in front of her and complain. Then, her workshop would at most be at this size.

However, she could not watch Grandma Qian go back just like that.

Grandma Qian was a good person. She had never thought of giving this old woman a hard time.

Moreover, to be able to earn five taels of silver in such a short period of time, Big Qian was clearly not too stupid..
