Chapter 631: Cruel

Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as Zheng Gang finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. However, he stopped after taking a step and said embarrassedly, “Shunzi’s house is a little far from here. When will the boss return to the inn? Why don’t I bring him to the inn?”

Gu Yundong thought for a moment and asked, “Where is his house?”

“South of the city.”

South of the city?

“Coincidentally, we’re almost done looking at the shops. I plan to go to the new house to take a look. I’ll go with you so that you won’t have to run around on a hot day.”

The Tianhai Academy was in the south of the city, so naturally, the house she had just bought was also in the south.

Zheng Gang nodded repeatedly. “Alright.”

“Before I leave, I’ll take a look at the shop that Brother Shao bought.” Gu Yundong turned around and saw Shao Qingyuan’s disappointed expression. However, after hearing her words, the corners of his lips curled up.

Shao Qingyuan took the lead and walked forward. “It’s not far. We’ll be there soon.”

It was really not far. It was only a street away.

Compared to Gu Yundong’s shop, the one for the pharmacy here was smaller. However, the backyard was much larger. After all, it would require more space to make medicine in the future.

There were no medical centers nearby. It was very inconvenient for many people to get medicine. It seemed to be quite suitable for opening a pharmacy.

However, it was still early. Shao Qingyuan planned to rent out the shop first and collect some money.

After checking the shop, the three of them got into the carriage and drove towards the south of the city.

Changshun’s house was said to be in the south of the city, but it was actually quite a distance away from the house that Gu Yundong had bought.

Compared to Gu Yundong’s school district house, Changshun’s place was one of the slums.

As soon as they entered the alley, the road immediately narrowed. In addition, many people’s things were piled at the door, blocking most of the alley.

Gu Yundong and the others could not enter the alley on the huge carriage at all.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zheng Gang’s face. “Boss, why don’t you wait here with Qingyuan? I’ll go in and call Changshun out.”

Not only was this alley narrow and noisy, but there were also all kinds of smells mixed together. It was simply indescribable.

However, Gu Yundong waved her hand. “No need. Let’s go in. The village is full of pits. It’s not much better from here. Why can’t we walk?”

The carriage was placed at the entrance of a small restaurant at the intersection. After paying a few copper coins to the shopkeeper to help take care of it, the three of them walked into the alley.

Although the alley was a little messy, the smell of life was very strong. Children were running around happily on the road.

Some women sat at the door, holding a sewing basket and looking at it. From time to time, they would yell.

Occasionally, there would be the sound of metal striking and loud quarrels coming from the house.

Changshun’s house seemed to be very far inside. Zheng Gang led them for a long distance before finally stopping.

He pointed at a small dilapidated courtyard in front of him and said, “That’s it.”

Just as she finished speaking, the door of the courtyard was opened.

Zheng Gang’s eyes lit up and he said, “He’s Changshun.”

Gu Yundong looked up and saw a skinny young man holding a pole and about to leave.

Zheng Gang raised his hand and was about to call out to him when he heard another ear-piercing voice.

“Changshun, are you going out to work again? How can you find work? Those shops shouldn’t need a thief, right?” The person who spoke was a woman, probably Changshun’s neighbor. Her tone was very harsh.

She sized up Changshun and came to a realization. “You’re going out with a pole to be a porter. I heard that you lost your chamber pot job two days ago?”
