When Mrs. Qian saw Zhang Yunniang and the children behind Gu Mingda, she immediately took Zhang Yunniang's hand and said, "Are you Mr. Gu's wife Yunniang? I have heard Mr. Gu mention you a lot. Your children are all very well-dressed."

The whole family was pulled into the yard by Mrs. Qian.

"The best house is reserved for you. I have reserved two rooms for you. Is that enough?" Mrs. Qian asked.

Gu Mingda nodded and said, "Thank you, Grandma. I trouble you every time I come here."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian immediately waved her hand and said, "Brother Gu, you are too polite. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have had such a good life now."

Mrs. Qian asked again, "Although I have cleaned the house once, please see if there are any deficiencies. I will clean it up now."

Gu Mingda didn't even look at the cleaning of the room, and said directly, "Grandma Qian, how can I be worried about the house you prepared?"

Mrs. Qian smiled even more deeply, and left on the pretext of being busy. Not long after, she diligently brought them a pot of hot water.

Gu Mingda accompanied Zhang Yunniang to pack the big luggage bags. They didn't let the children idle, but asked them to pack their own things to take out.

The children had few things. After sorting them out, Gu Yan took out a book to read. Gu Zhao and Niuniu were young, so they wandered around in the yard.

"Have you helped this money lady? She is so kind to our family." Zhang Yunniang asked her husband softly.

The house was spotlessly clean, and the quilts in the room were warm and fluffy, without any dampness. It was obviously dried in advance. If you live in a hotel, it is difficult to find such a good house. Most importantly, the rent is also low.

"The first year I came to the capital to take the college entrance examination, she worked as a helper in the guesthouse. After I failed the exam, I heard someone crying in the middle of the night. After asking, I learned that my pain of failing the exam was nothing compared to hers."

Facing his wife's puzzled eyes, Gu Mingda continued to explain: "Grandma Qian's husband's family is quite wealthy, with two shops and this house, but after marriage, they gave birth to a son who is not very smart. Her husband died early, and a rogue in the family directly occupied the house and shop in the name of taking care of them, and drove them out."

Although Gu Mingda said it tactfully, Zhang Yunniang also heard it, saying that this son is "not smart" is probably a fool.

Gu Mingda continued to explain: "I helped her write the complaint, and I also used a trick to catch the scoundrel's handle, helped her get the house and shop back, and helped her find an orphan in the clan to adopt as her grandson, so that she could repair the house and rent it cheaply to the students who were taking the college entrance examination."

Grandma Qian also had two shops and was not short of money. She rented the house cheaply to the students because if these scholars did well in the exam in the future, they could also accumulate some incense and love to protect her family.

Niuniu and her brother and sister, who were playing in the yard, had already started playing hide-and-seek.

Gu Zhao took advantage of Niuniu's eyes closing and ran into the corridor at the back and hid in a corner.

When Niuniu opened her eyes, she could not see Gu Zhao at all.

Niu Niu searched the whole yard but couldn't find her little brother. After hesitating for a while, she shouted, "Third brother, I'm going to the back to find you."

Gu Zhao heard his sister's voice and huddled in the corner, covering his mouth and laughing.

Niu Niu ran while shouting.

Hearing his sister's footsteps stepping into the corridor, Gu Zhao couldn't help but get nervous, and pricked up his ears to listen to how far his sister was from him.

"Brother? Brother, are you hiding behind the tree?" Niu Niu asked.

No one answered.

The place where Gu Zhao was hiding was a dead corner. Niu Niu tilted her head and searched around but couldn't find him. Seeing that the corridor had come to the end, she walked forward to the next courtyard.

Niu Niu heard the adults mention that this house had a good location, all the rooms were rented out, and people lived in other courtyards.

Niu Niu stood at the moon gate, hesitated for a moment, and did not go in. Instead, she turned around and shouted to the corridor: "Brother, where are you hiding? Niu Niu can't find it. Niu Niu admits defeat."

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Zhao did not appear, but a woman with a mean face and who looked to be in her forties came out from behind the moon gate.

The woman grabbed Niu Niu's collar and asked viciously: "Whose child are you? Who taught you to make a noise here? Do you know that it will affect others' studies?"

Niu Niu immediately struggled and said: "I didn't enter your yard..."

The woman looked at Niu Niu with disgust and said: "Wouldn't it be affected if I didn't enter the yard? Stinky girl, be quiet. If my son fails to pass the exam this time, I will beat you to death!"

After the woman finished speaking, she let go of her hand and threw Niu Niu to the ground.

Gu Zhao rushed out as soon as he heard the dispute, and ran over to catch Niu Niu, so that his sister did not fall to the ground.

After stabilizing Niuniu, Gu Zhao rushed towards the woman's stomach like a small cannonball, knocking her off balance: "Don't bully my sister, you big bad guy!"

The woman barely stood up against the moon door, her eyebrows raised in anger, and scolded: "Little bastard, you have no rules at all, I will punish you for your parents!"

The woman was about to attack Gu Zhao.

But Gu Zhao was not the kind of child who would stand there stupidly and get beaten. He pulled Niuniu's hand and ran back, shouting as he ran: "The old woman is beating people, the old woman is beating people!"

The woman didn’t expect that such a big child could be so vicious, and cursed: “Stop, I’ll tear your mouth!”

After hearing this, Gu Zhao stood still, turned around and made a face at her, and continued to run to his house.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang had already walked out of the house the moment they heard their son’s voice.

When Gu Zhao saw his parents, he immediately pulled Niuniu to hide behind his parents as if someone was backing him up, and raised his head to complain: “Dad, Mom, this old woman pushed Niuniu and wanted to hit me, fortunately I ran fast!”

Gu Mingda’s eyes darkened when he heard this.

“It was obviously you, the stinky boy, who hit me first, and you dare to complain first!” The woman cursed.

When Gu Mingda heard this, he did not refute it on the spot, but asked Niuniu: “Niuniu, can you tell Dad what happened?”

Niuniu spoke clearly and quickly explained the cause and effect.

After listening to the two children's stories, Gu Mingda confirmed that there was basically no discrepancy between what they said, so he naturally believed his own child.

He immediately said with a sullen face: "Auntie, you are too unreasonable to bully a child at your age."
