Novel Bin Chapter 67 - 67: Finally Here
Shao Qingyuan turned around and saw her. He did not say anything.
He held a coarse steamed bun in his hand and took a big bite. There were immediately some steamed bun crumbs stuck to his dry lips. It was so dry that it seemed difficult to swallow.
Gu Yundong felt as if her throat and eyes were blocked, especially when she saw a small piece of steamed bun fall to the ground and smash into the soil, creating a small pit.
Gu Yundong was speechless. How hard was it? Could it be digested?
She couldn’t help but swallow. Behind her, she heard Madam Dong’s hurried footsteps.
“Yundong, 1 don’t have anything good at home. Those are vegetables planted by my family. There are many in the courtyard. Take them back and eat them.” She walked out with a basket in her hand. When she looked up, she saw Shao Qingyuan from next door.
“It’s Qingyuan. You didn’t go out today? Why are you eating steamed buns again? How can you eat steamed buns every day? Come to Auntie’s house to eat tonight.”
Madam Dong seemed to be quite familiar with Shao Qingyuan, so she spoke much more casually.
Shao Qingyuan took another bite of the hard steamed bun in front of Gu Yundong and said coldly, “No, I’m busy.” With that, he left.
Gu Yundong wanted to ask him if he wanted to drink some water to wash down the food, but he had already disappeared.
Madam Dong turned around and saw her expression. She immediately misunderstood and said carefully, “Yundong, don’t be afraid. Qingyuan isn’t as scary as the villagers say. His house is next door. We’ve been neighbors for a few years and 1 know Qingyuan’s character better than those people. He’s very good.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. This was the first time she had heard a positive comment about Shao Qingyuan.
Unexpectedly, he lived next door. Wouldn’t he be her neighbor in the future?
Aiyo, wasn’t this helpful neighbor who was on good terms with her a good thing?
Hence, Gu Yundong nodded. “Aunt, I know. I’m not the kind of person who will believe whatever people say.”
She took the basket from Madam Dong’s hand. “I won’t stand on ceremony with the vegetables.”
Madam Dong heaved a sigh of relief. “Just take it. Come back after you’re done eating them.”
Gu Yundong led the three of them back. When they passed by their homestead, they saw that the young men had stopped to rest and drink ginger tea.
When she saw them, they immediately greeted her warmly and thanked her very much for the ginger tea. They expressed that their heart would feel warm after drinking it and that they would work hard to reassure her.
Gu Yundong nodded and told them to be careful.
When she walked over, someone whispered, “This young lady from the Gu family is really good. Not only do we earn a lot of money from working for her, but we also feel comfortable. Sigh, it’s a pity that she doesn’t know the ways of the world.”
“That’s right. There’s no adult man in this family to protect her. If she has money, she should hide it. She just arrived in a strange village and doesn’t know anyone. She dares to spend so much money to build a green brick and tile house. This is too eye-catching.”
“I reckon the hooligans in the village will soon set their sights on her.”
“Shall we find Brother Feng and ask him to remind the young lady?”
“Okay.”
Feng Daneng had indeed told Gu Yundong to be more careful these few days, especially when she slept at night. He told her to lock the doors and windows, set a trap by the door, and shout if there was any movement.
However, he did not expect that that night, a few thieves would sneak into Madam Fang’s house.
At this moment, Gu Yundong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She stared at the dark room and curled his lips slightly. They were finally here..
