Chapter 788: Is This Her Aunt?
Editor: Henyee Translations
The carriage did not move for a long ti. Gu Yundong lifted the curtain and looked outside. “What’s wrong? Did sothing happen?”
Xue Rong pointed ahead and said, “Soone fell out. There should be a lot of people and she was squeezed out.”
After saying that, the people who had been squeezing around hurriedly stood far away, as if they were afraid that this person would cling to them.
Gu Yundong looked at the person. She looked like a thin woman. Her hair was ssy, and her clothes were very tattered. The weather was already a little cold, but her clothes were still very thin. They hung loosely on her body, making her look like a refugee when Gu Yundong entered the city last year.
More importantly, Gu Yundong saw so scars on her thin arms.
She held an old bag in her hand and squatted on the ground to pick up the wooden carvings scattered nearby.
Yes, they were all wooden carvings. They were very small. There were wooden hairpins, spinning tops for children, and small boxes. The most exquisite one was the small screen that had fallen out but was already broken.
Gu Yundong had just finished looking when Gu Dajiang alighted from the carriage.
He squatted down and helped pick up the wooden carvings on the ground.
Xue Rong and Gu Yundong also hurriedly got down. A few of the wooden carvings rolled further away, and Xue Rong crawled under the carriage.
Gu Dajiang stuffed all the wooden carvings in his hand into Gu Yundong’s hand. The latter carried them to the woman.
“Auntie, this is for you. Keep it well. Be careful.”
“Ah, thank you, thank you, Miss.” The woman opened the bag and placed the wooden carvings inside with trembling fingers.
Then, she kept apologizing. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t an to fall in front of your carriage. I’ve wasted your ti. I’ll leave now. Thank you.”
As she spoke, she turned around and staggered forward.
Gu Yundong sighed softly and turned to return to the carriage.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Gu Dajiang standing rooted to the ground in shock.
Then, he suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed the woman’s arm.
Gu Yundong was shocked. “Father, what are you doing?”
The woman was also frightened. She lowered her head and wanted to avoid him, but Gu Dajiang was strong. Not to ntion that this woman was skinny and weak, even if she were strong, she wouldn’t be able to break free.
She was being pulled by a man in public. How could she not be embarrassed?
“What are you doing? Let go of .”
Soone was already looking over. Gu Yundong quickly stepped forward to block the two of them and pulled Gu Dajiang’s hand away. “Father, what are you doing? Let’s talk nicely.”
Gu Dajiang stared at the woman with anticipation and fear in his eyes. His throat was dry. After a long ti, he said in a hoarse voice, “You, raise your head for to see.”
The woman was shocked and quickly took a step back.
Gu Dajiang took a step forward, and Gu Yundong looked suspiciously at the woman.
The woman felt her head buzzing, as if many people were pointing at them.
“What are these two doing? Aren’t they afraid of being laughed at in broad daylight?”
“This man looks quite rich, and the woman seems to be a beggar. Do people nowadays have such strange tastes? Has he taken a fancy to a beggar?”
The long-term malnutrition made the woman lose her balance and feel dizzy.
She lowered her head and strode forward.
Gu Dajiang suddenly shouted, “Gu Dafeng!!”
Gu Yundong raised her head in shock and looked at the figure with her back facing her.
Gu Dafeng???
Her eldest aunt’s na? This was her eldest aunt?
