The village chief also saw that person when he came out. He frowned slightly, but he still said to him patiently, “It’s already so late. Hurry up and go home. Don’t stay outside.”

That person chuckled, turned around, and ran.

Gu Yundong came back to her senses and asked, “Who was that?”

“Oh, him. He came to our village a few months ago.” The village chief didn’t mind saying this. “I think he escaped from Yongning Prefecture in the past. It’s said that when he arrived at Qing’an Prefecture, he encountered chaos. His parents, wife, and daughter were gone. He was injured himself, and he became unclear. In the beginning, he was awake for most of the day, but now…”

As the village chief spoke, he shook his head. “For now, it’s already good enough if he’s awake for one day in two days. When he first came, he even saw a doctor. The doctor said that he could be cured. There’s a widow in our village. Seeing that he’s penniless and sick, she married him and lived with him.”

The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. Why? Could they become husband and wife just because she sympathized him? Only a fool would believe that. The widow probably saw that he was good-looking, right? This was just a cover.

“If I may ask, how old is the widow?”

The village chief coughed lightly and looked a little strange. “About… ten years older than him.”

“Widow Sun’s family background is not bad. Her husband has been dead for many years. It’s fine to marry again. If this person’s illness can be cured, it will be a happy thing.” The village chief shook his head. “Unfortunately, his condition is getting worse. Widow Sun is also impatient with him now. Look at the clothes he’s wearing. Sigh.”

Gu Yundong realized that the village chief was very nosy and open-minded. She knew that many villages did not allow widows to remarry, such as the old Gu family.

“Did that man say his wife and daughter were dead?”

The village chief nodded. “Yes, he said it when he was sober. He was quite sad. You seem to be very curious about his affairs. Why? Do you know him?”

Gu Yundong shook her head decisively. “No.”

The village chief had already led them to the backyard. He instructed his wife, Madam Jiang, who was tidying up the guest room, “Take care of Miss Gu and Madam Gu.”

Madam Jiang agreed and asked Gu Yundong with a smile, “Where are you going and what are you going to do?”

Gu Yundong answered casually, but she looked a little dazed.

She did not expect to meet Fu Ming here. He had become a fool.

Although her mother was also ignorant, her mother only did not understand and think about some profound things. As long as others explained it to her in a simple manner, she would be obedient and do it.

However, the Fu Ming just now had a silly smile on his face. He was like a person who could not take care of himself.

There was also the matter of his parents, wife, and daughter dying. She did not expect that the last time she met her aunt would be that time outside Qing’an Prefecture City.

Gu Yundong did not feel guilty at all. Those who wanted to harm others would always be harmed.

If it had been her eldest aunt’s family back then, she would definitely have taken them away and protected them.

“Miss Gu, rest for a while. I’ll call you again after dinner.” Madam Jiang’s voice pulled her back to her senses.

Gu Yundong put Fu Ming’s matter to the back of her mind and smiled at Madam Jiang. “Alright, thank you, Aunt.”

Madam Jiang shook her head and left the guest room.

However, as soon as she left the house, she immediately ran to her room to look for her man in a hurry, looking mysterious..
