Ah Shu tried to keep him in suspense, but after a long time, Ah Mao didn’t say anything. He couldn’t help but turn around.
Only then did he realize that Ah Mao’s expression was dark. No one knew what he was thinking.
As they knew each other well, Ah Shu quickly guessed something. He nudged him and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you go to inquire about the Gu family? It didn’t go well?”
“Let’s talk about it when we get back.” Ah Mao shook his head and shook the reins violently. The mule cart immediately sped up.
The two of them entered Jiangyu County before the city gate closed. When they went to the inn where Gu Yundong was, they saw that she and Shao Qingyuan were still waiting.
The few of them were talking in Shao Qingyuan’s room. Madam Yang was also there, but she was sitting alone in the corner, completing a puzzle.
Just now, Ah Gou watched her interestedly and asked her a few questions, making Madam Yang extremely happy. She taught him how to solve puzzles like she was teaching a child.
Ah Shu was the first to speak. “I pretended to go to Gu village to settle down and went to Chief Gu’s house. Good lord, that old man is black-hearted. He actually said that it’s not easy to settle down with so many people in Gu village. He asked me for ten taels of silver to smooth things over. Later on, he said that an acre of homestead costs ten taels of silver, and so does the wasteland. Does he think I’m stupid? The entire Yongning Prefecture is short of people now. He should be paying me money for me to settle down. He’s so shameless.”
Speaking of this, he was still a little angry. Although he had pretended to be dissatisfied and left in the end, when he really chatted with that Gu person, his dissatisfaction had reached its peak. This shameless thing.
“By the way, that old man also escaped and has just returned. Although he suffered a little this time, he’s in good spirits.” Ah Shu calmed down and became mysterious again. He said with a hint of gossip, “This old man is old but still strong. He actually brought a woman back and took that woman as his concubine.”
“Pfft… Cough, cough.” Gu Yundong choked on his tea. Shao Qingyuan quickly patted her back.
Cat and the others looked at their actions and lowered their heads in tacit understanding.
Gu Yundong wiped his mouth and asked in disbelief, “Concubine? Gu Gang is 50 years old, right?”
He was already 50 years old. Many people who were 32 or 33 years old could already be grandfathers now. He could be a great-grandfather at 50 years old.
“He’s exactly 50 this year.” Ah Shu said, “That woman is only 19 years old. I heard that she lost her parents on the way to escape. She almost died alone by the roadside. At that time, it was Gu Gang’s 16-year-old eldest grandson who took a fancy to her and brought her along. In the end, Gu Gang intercepted her. However, he promised to find a better one for his eldest grandson, so his grandson didn’t make a fuss. On the other hand, his wife is cursing at home every day.”
Gu Yundong was full of admiration for Gu Gang. She knew that this person was a selfish person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. She did not expect him to be so shameless.
As Shu spoke, he shook his head. “But I don’t think that concubine likes Gu Gang at all. There’s even a hint of disgust in her eyes. But she’s also a scheming person. When I was in the Gu family, she caused trouble for Gu Gang twice. The Gu family couldn’t tell.”
If not for the fact that he was knowledgeable and had met many two-faced fellows on the streets, coupled with the fact that he was an outsider, he would not have been able to tell.
Gu Yundong knew that a 19-year-old young lady would not be interested in a 50-year-old man.
What did she want from him? He had no money, no face, and no good temper. He was just a useless old thing.
She looked at Ah Mao.. “What about the Gu family?”
