Gu Yundong did not agree with her negative thoughts, but she could not even figure out her own feelings, let alone others giving her suggestions.
Annoying.
“Forget it. Anyway, there’s no hurry. Perhaps you’ll change your mind in the future.” Gu Yundong guessed that she might not have gotten over Gu Gang’s matter, so she could not force her. “Anyway, I’m always here when you need me.”
“Yes, thank you.” Shen Sitian smiled very easily. “It’s my greatest blessing to have you as my friend.”
Gu Yundong did not interfere in this matter anymore. She would let nature take its course.
She was very busy for the next few days. Tong An was recuperating, Shao Qingyuan was looking for a way to treat smallpox, and Gu Yundong had to manage the workshop. She also took the time to buy dozens of acres of orchard.
The Shi couple was very experienced in cultivating fruit forests, but they were indeed lacking in management.
Gu Yundong began to place Zhao Zhu in an important position. Zhao Zhu was quite bold. He helped Gu Yundong recruit some farmers to take care of the fruit forest. In addition, his son was becoming more and more reliable. Now, his life was getting better and better.
Of the four hooligans who had come to Gu Yundong’s house to steal money, other than Hu Liang who had broken his leg and stayed at home all day crying and tormenting his parents, all were already working for Gu Yundong.
This made Hu Liang’s mother, Jin Yuexiang, feel unbalanced. She often badmouthed Gu Yundong in the village.
Unfortunately, more than half of the people in Yongfu Village were working in Gu Yundong’s workshop or orchard. Naturally, they would not listen to her.
Even if they did not work for the Gu family, they hoped that they would be chosen one day. How could they help Jin Yuexiang frame the Gu family?
On the contrary, the Hu family became even more unpopular in the village.
The days passed by in a flash. During this period, the workshop sent goods to the prefectural city a few more times and even brought Gu Dajiang’s letter. He only asked her about her daily life and didn’t know about Yunshu.
Master Wei’s case had already ended. The news Qin Wenzheng gave her said that he had been sentenced to a place thousands of kilometers away.
She busied herself until the end of the month and it was finally Gu Yundong’s coming-of-age ceremony!
She had even forgotten about this day. Unexpectedly, one day, her parents, sister, Eldest Aunt, and Aunt Ke returned. Only then did she suddenly remember… that this was an especially important day for her.
Eldest Uncle did not follow them back. His leg had only been treated for a month, and Doctor Xiong had instructed him not to move around. He could not sit in the carriage, so he could only regretfully stay in the prefectural city. Lu Sheng and Auntie Niu were still in the small courtyard, so they could take care of him.
“But he prepared a coming-of-age gift for you.” Gu Dafeng handed her a wooden sculpture.
It was a wooden carving of a screen. It was not complicated, but it was very detailed and beautiful. It could be seen that Uncle had put in a lot of effort when carving it.
“I love it, thank you.”
There were still two days before her coming-of-age ceremony. In the afternoon, Shao Qingyuan returned.
However, even though he looked normal, Gu Yundong keenly noticed that he looked haggard and was in a bad mood.
What was going on? Was there a problem with the cowpox vaccination method?
Gu Yundong immediately became nervous. While her parents were not paying attention, she quickly pulled him aside and asked, “Did it not go well?”
Shao Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief. “No, it went very smoothly. I’ve already succeeded in one case.”
Gu Yundong was delighted. “Really? You really succeeded? Isn’t that great? Why do you look so pale?”
With how much Shao Qingyuan valued this matter, he should be happy.
