The Song family courtyard was quiet and the doors of the various houses were closed tightly, with not a trace of anyone being home.
The man wondered and slid down from the tree with a bare face, “Strange thing, how come there is no one home?”
Master Gu continued to smile and arch his hand, “Since there is no one at home, he must have gone to work in the fields, I wonder which one of you will help us to shout for someone, I thank you once again.”
No rich man has ever looked down on anyone, and no one has ever smiled at the poor like the wealthy Gu. Me! ……”
“That would be a problem.”
Without waiting for Elder Gu’s words, someone had already run towards the outside of the village, and in just a moment, the Song family had all returned.
Master Gu’s gaze fell precisely on Song Wangyue, who was following behind the adults.
Seeing that she was indeed as the housekeeper had said, with a beautiful appearance and an air of elegance, he nodded his head without a trace.
The Song family was hoeing the ground when they heard that Gu Zaizi had arrived, and Master Song did not even have time to put down his rolled up trouser legs before he hurried back.
Before he could even get close, Elder Gu had already quickly gone to greet him and bowed, “This is Elder Song, right? I am Gu Qian, today my wife and I have specially brought our youngest child here to thank Miss Song for saving our lives.”
Master Song paused and froze for a moment before reacting, he also followed the example of Gu Caiwei and arched his hand, “Master Gu is very kind, saving a life is better than creating a seven-level pagoda, my granddaughter also took a trip through the ghost gate not long ago and only when she saw that Master Gu’s life was on the verge of death did she not think twice about giving help, I hope Master Gu is not to blame.”
Although it was a rescue, her granddaughter had kissed Young Master Gu in full view of the public, the Gu family was not only not angry, but had someone send a gift of thanks over.
The first thing he thought when he heard from the person who went to give them the news was that the Gu family had sent a gift before the troops and had come to the door to settle the score.
“Your granddaughter saved my son’s life. Our whole family can’t thank you enough, how dare we blame you? My wife and I should have come to the house a long time ago to thank you, but my son fell ill after returning home and took a few days to recover, so we delayed until today.”
The old man was relieved that he was not here to settle a score, “In that case, let’s go home first.”
The moment he saw Song Wan Yue, Gu Yi’s eyes lit up and he lifted his feet to run this way, but Mrs Gu was quick to pull him back, “Yi’er take it easy.”
“Oh.”
Gu Yi stopped his feet.
“Lao-san, go and open the door!”
Song San Xiao had just heard the man who reported the news say that his gate was bolted from the inside, so he didn’t waste that energy to shout at the door. He walked to the biggest tree near the courtyard wall, took off his shoes, climbed up the tree with very skilled movements, went up to the courtyard wall, flipped over and jumped down on the wall. He turned around and saw Song Lin standing at the door of his house, staring at him.
Song San Xiao was shocked, “Big brother.”
“Get over here!”
Song San Xiao rolled over without hesitation, the person he feared most in this family was big brother.
Big brother was the kind who really beat him up and hit him without mercy.
Whenever he sneaked out to fool around, it was always when his elder brother was not at home, otherwise he would have been caught by his elder brother and beaten up for days.
“What’s going on outside?”
“It says, it says he’s here to say thank you.”
“Not here to settle scores?”
“What are you talking about, big brother, our Yue’er saved that silly little ……”
SMACK!
Song Lin slapped him on the head, “Keep your voice down, lest the people outside can’t hear you, right?”
Song San Xiao felt his brains shake, but he dared not speak out in anger.
“Lao-san!”
People were jumping in for a while and there was still no movement to open the door, so Elder Song shouted outside uneasily.
“Coming!”
Song San Xiao subconsciously answered.
Song Lin slapped him hard on the head again, and then turned around and went back inside.
Song San Xiao pitifully covered his head, not knowing what he meant, “Da, big brother ……”
“Go and open the door.”
Only then did Song Sanxiao quickly run over to take the wooden stick away, remove the latch and open the door.
Master Song and Master Gu were in front, while Grandma Song and Madam Gu walked in behind them, and before they could even stand in the courtyard, they heard a shouted question coming from Song Lin’s house, “Who is it?”
Then Song Lin came out limping, with pressure marks on his face, obviously woken up from a dream.
Seeing so many people in the courtyard, Song Lin was obviously stunned, “Father, Mother?”
Song San Xiao almost applauded his big brother, if it wasn’t for the fact that his head was still hurting, he would have thought that he had just hallucinated it, and that his big brother was hiding it too well.
Seeing that he was safe and sound, Master Song and Grandma Song were also relieved, they had rushed back not only to see Master Gu, but also because they were afraid that Song Lin would have any accidents, otherwise what was the point of closing the courtyard door in broad daylight, it turned out that they were sleeping.
“This is my eldest son – Yue’er’s father, who went hunting in the mountains and injured his leg, and has been nursing at home ……”
Then felt wrong, so half a day how Xu has not come out, not two mouths closed the door ……
Master Song’s old face was a little red.
The door to Song Wan Yue’s house was also opened and Xu came out from inside, her hand rubbing her forehead, looking a bit uncomfortable, seeing the crowd was also stunned for a moment.
The redness on his face receded, probably because his eldest daughter-in-law was tired from taking care of Song Lin these days and had taken advantage of the time when they were working in the fields to rest.
“This is Yue’er’s mother.”
Elder Gu arched his hand with a smile.
Xu hastily returned the greeting with a blessing.
She curtsied in a standard manner, doing it in a flowing manner as if it was engraved in her bones, as if she had been taught from a young age.
Master Gu narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Song family, however, were used to it. When Song Lin had first brought Xu back, Xu had saluted them in this way.
“This is Master and Madam Gu, bringing Young Master Gu to say thank you.”
As Song Lin limped over, Xu hurriedly walked over to support him and slowly walked over step by step, not even looking at the dumbfounded housekeeper on the other side, “Master and Madam Gu are very kind.”
Outside the door, people watching the fun were gathered around the entrance.
Song Gua’s arrived late and squeezed towards the door from behind the crowd, “Make way! Make way ……”
When the crowd saw it was her, they moved aside and Song Gua’s squeezed into the doorway, stretching her head to look inside.
“Your love saved my dog’s son, it is only right that the two of us come to the door to personally thank you.”
Master Gu spoke in a matter of ceremony.
“Not at all, we are here to propose marriage today, this girl has kissed me and will have to marry me.”
There was dead silence in and out of the courtyard.
