Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
‘You’ve got… quite a lot of drama.’
Grandpa Yu could not stand it anymore. He waved his hand and chased him away. “Alright, alright. This has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and go ho. Your grandson will co looking for you later.”
Grandpa Zhang let out a sigh and refused to leave. “I’m talking to him. Why don’t you know any etiquette? How can you chase a guest out?”
“Hmph, I haven’t forgotten what you said just now. Why don’t I have a good talk with the Gu family’s girl?”
Grandpa Zhang imdiately fell silent and snorted. “Seriously, if you want to leave, so be it. You’re too much.”
With that, she hurriedly left.
Grandpa Yu closed the courtyard door and blocked the view outside. He then ca back to greet Gu Yundong. “Co, co. Yundong, take a seat first.”
He poured two glasses of water for her. “Why did you bring anything? These things are expensive.”
“Grandpa Yu, I hope you don’t mind,” Gu Yundong said politely. Then, he changed the topic and said in a low voice, “Actually, I ca today to ask for your help with sothing.”
“Tell . As long as I can help, I’ll definitely help.”
“Grandpa Yu, do you know any carpenters? I want to ask soone to make a small box with a secret compartnt.”
Uncle Yu slapped his leg. “I know him. There’s a Carpenter Tan in an alley over there. He’s very skilled, but he doesn’t have a good temper, so he doesn’t take on many jobs.”
“Grandpa Yu, can you bring to et him?”
“Are you in a hurry?”
Gu Yundong nodded. “Yes, it’s best if you can give it to today.”
“Alright, I’ll take you there.”
Grandpa Yu did not delay any longer. He brought Gu Yundong out of the courtyard and went straight to the Tan family.
Carpenter Tan was said to have a bad temper, but in fact, he was not very social. He spoke little and almost only answered questions.
But Gu Yundong had seen the things made in his courtyard. They were indeed sturdy and beautiful.
Gu Yundong explained the appearance to him. It was actually not complicated and was not big. It was just a small rectangular box that contained hairpins. The most important thing was the secret compartnt. This had to be made solid.
Carpenter Tan’s movents were very fast and skilled. With a few swooshes, he sawed the wood and cut the connector.
The hardest part was the secret compartnt, which took so ti.
However, it took less than an hour. Gu Yundong thought that it would take a day to do this, but she did not expect it to take so little ti.
Carpenter Tan polished the box twice in the end. It was very flat and smooth to the touch. He then waxed it again.
By the ti Gu Yundong got it, it was still too early.
She beca happy and gave Carpenter Tan a tael of silver.
Carpenter Tan was stunned when he saw this. It did not take much effort for him to buy such a small wooden box. He did not need so much at all.
But Gu Yundong had already left with the wooden box. When she left the Tan family, she said to the old man, “Grandpa Yu, I still have sothing to do, so I’ll leave first. I’ll visit you again after my father recovers.”
Grandpa Yu could also tell that she seed to be in a hurry.
“Alright, I’ll send you off.”
“No need. Xue Rong is here. Take your ti and go ho first. Rember to eat the pastries I brought for you. Don’t let them go bad. The weather is hot now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he left with large strides with Xue Rong before he could speak.
With the box, she could deliver the letter.
Unfortunately, there were always obstacles blocking her path to success.
Gu Yundong sighed inwardly as she looked at the four people who had stopped him.
