Chapter 1625: The Money Madam Yang Has Earned
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong was stunned. When her mother pulled him into the room, she asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Mother, what are you doing?"
Madam Yang looked around and closed the door very cautiously.
Gu Yundong was puzzled. "Mother?"
"Shh." Madam Yang told her not to make a sound. Then, she took out a key from her waist and used it to open the wardrobe. She took out a box from the wardrobe.
Then, she opened the box and pulled out a cloth bag.
Gu Yundong only saw her working hard. She did not know what she was doing.
Until Madam Yang turned around with the cloth bag and handed it to her mysteriously. "Dongdong, this is for you."
"What’s this?"
Gu Yundong asked as she removed the outer layer of cloth.
As she opened it, Madam Yang’s voice sounded. "Banknotes."
Gu Yundong also saw it clearly. It was a few banknotes. She calculated that there were a total of ten banknotes, each of which was a hundred taels.
There were 1,000 taels of silver here. The question was, where did it come from?
Gu Yundong looked at Madam Yang. "Mother, whose banknotes are those?"
"It’s mine. I earned it. It’s for Dongdong." Madam Yang pushed it in front of her and asked her to put it away. "Dongdong, it’s been hard on you. Here."
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. She first put away the banknotes, then pulled Madam Yang to sit down at the side and asked softly, "Mother, did you earn these banknotes? How did you earn them?"
"Selling flowers."
Gu Yundong was stunned. Selling flowers?
Her eyes widened. "Mother, are you saying that the flowers you planted were sold for a thousand taels?"
Madam Yang nodded vigorously and patted her chest. She asked very proudly, "Am I good?"
Gu Yundong was very surprised. She knew that her mother liked to plant flowers. She had made those flowers look good.
But Gu Yundong had always thought that the flowers were for her amusement. She had never thought that Madam Yang’s flowers could be sold for such a high price.
She hugged Madam Yang. "Mother, you’re amazing. You’re too amazing."
Madam Yang immediately raised her chin and looked very proud. "Yes, yes."
"But I can’t take this silver. Mother, keep it well. Don’t let anyone else see it except Father, understand?"
Madam Yang was a little anxious and pushed the banknotes towards her. "No, it’s for Dongdong."
Gu Yundong saw how stubborn she was and knew that she would not listen no matter what she said. She could only keep the banknotes for the time being. "Okay, okay, okay. This is Mother’s money. I’ll keep it, okay?"
Only then was Madam Yang satisfied. She heaved a sigh of relief and smiled until her eyes curved.
Gu Yundong also smiled. She put away the banknotes and left the room with her.
Unexpectedly, when she went out, she realized that Bai Hang and Shao Yin were gone.
Originally, everyone was sitting in the central room and talking. Now, there were only a few people left.
She walked over to Gu Xiaoxi, who was still standing there, and asked in a low voice, "Where are my father and the rest?"
"Second Master Bai and the rest said that they wanted to take a walk in the village and see where Qingyuan used to live. Eldest Brother and Qingyuan went with them. They just left not long ago."
Gu Yundong pursed her lips. After a while, she sighed. It seemed that what would come would come. It could not be avoided.
Upon seeing this, Gu Xiaoxi sat beside her and asked, "Are you worried that they will hear some gossip in the village, especially if they know some things about Qingyuan when he was young that will make Second Master Bai and his wife feel uncomfortable?"
