Chapter 1080: Did the Gu Family Escape Here?
Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong frowned deeply. For the first time, she realized that she could not win against her father.

However, since she had put these things under Gu Dajiang’s name back then, they were the Gu family’s house. She had no objections to the shop and workshop being her dowry, but the house…

‘What should I do? How troublesome.’

Gu Dajiang made the final decision and left the box of betrothal gifts from Shao Qingyuan.

Gu Yundong: “…”

As expected, once they were about to get married, this matter instantly became complicated. The first thing was the distribution of assets.

If this was in any other family, it would probably be good enough if the father could give his daughter a dowry of a few hundred taels of silver. However, when it came to her father, he did not want anything. He would give her the money for the house where he was currently staying in the future.

She could understand her father’s thoughts, but she could not bring everything into the Shao family as a dowry.

This matter had to be discussed again.

Not many people in the Gu family slept well that night.

However, the next day, Gu Dafeng still woke up early.

Gu Yundong had agreed to accompany her to look at the house. Not many people went. Besides her and Gu Dafeng, there were also Bian Han and Xue Rong.

The others, especially the three brats, stayed at home obediently.

Gu Yundong had been to Xingtao Street several times, so she was already familiar with the place.

When she knocked on Xiao Yuan’s door, Madam Fan and Xiao Yuan happened to be going out to set up a stall.

When she saw Gu Dafeng, Madam Fan immediately put down the cart in her hand and planned not to go out. “You’re here to look at the house, right? I’ll bring you there now.”

Gu Dafeng quickly stopped her. “No need, no need. Just tell us where the owner is. It’s a rare good day today. Don’t delay your business. We’ll go over ourselves.”

Gu Yundong also said, “That’s right. Mrs. Fan, you should be busy. We’re all adults now. We can find the place by ourselves.”

“How can that be? We agreed that I would bring you there. How can I leave you behind?”

Just as she finished speaking, a head suddenly popped in from outside. When she saw the person inside, she immediately exclaimed, “Boss? Why are you here?”

Gu Yundong turned around. Wasn’t this Su Qing?

“You’re off today?”

“Yes, it’s my turn to rest. I heard some movements here, so I came over to take a look.” The Su family lived next door, which was very close.

Xiao Yuan was on good terms with her, so she immediately explained everything in detail.

Su Qing nodded in understanding. “I know where the owner is. Mrs. Fan, go ahead. I’ll bring the boss and the rest over.”

“You do?”

Su Qing nodded with certainty.

Madam Fan was relieved. Only then did she bring Xiao Yuan out of the courtyard and go to the market to set up a stall.

Su Qing went home and informed Mother Su. Mother Su found it strange. “Boss Gu’s aunt is looking for a house? Why is she here? Could it be that her aunt’s family isn’t well-off?”

One had to know that the rent of the houses here was cheap, but this place was not very peaceful. Just the local tyrant alone was a headache.

Su Qing said, “I heard that after the boss’s aunt fled to the Xuanhe Prefecture two years ago, she was lost. She just reunited with the boss last year. Her family should be in trouble.”

“Escape?” Mother Su was surprised. “Her aunt escaped from the Yongning Prefecture?”

“That’s right. Didn’t I tell you? The boss also fled here. That’s why I especially admire her.”

With that, Su Qing hurriedly ran out of the door.

Mother Su muttered, “She’s indeed admirable. She just escaped from the famine two years ago. Now, there’s actually such a big… Wait, she escaped from the famine?”
