Chapter 788: Is This Her Aunt?


    Editor: Henyee Translations


    The carriage did not move for a long time. Gu Yundong lifted the curtain and looked outside. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”


    Xue Rong pointed ahead and said, “Someone 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 messy, 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 some 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.


    Gu Dajiang stared at the woman with anticipation and fear in his eyes. His throat was dry. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “You, raise your head for me 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 name? This was her eldest aunt?
