Chapter 249: I Will Give You Pocket Money (3) (2/2)

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door outside. The door was not closed, and it opened with a push.

“Anyone? Aunt Gu, are you there?”

Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinfeng heard the voice and came out. They saw a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy who was dressed in little clothes and his body was covered in snow. He stood at the gate of the courtyard.

Gu Fangting ran out and saw him, “Brother Jiang Xun, why are you here?”

This young man was Jiang Xun, the young man who ran to the Gu family to inform them when Gu Yunshuang went through that incident.

Jiang Xun was stunned when he saw Gu Fangting in new clothes and looked fatter than before.

“I’m here to look for you and Aunt Gu. I… I have something to tell you.”

Gu Fangting took him to Gu Yunshuang’s room. Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinfeng also came.

Gu Yunshuang was shocked when she saw Jiang Xun’s pale face and the snow on his body.

“Jiang Xun? Why are you here? The snow is so heavy now. Hurry! Come over and get warm.”

Jiang Xun took off the clothes outside and placed it at the door, patted the snow on his body, before walking to the stove.

Gu Fangting had already poured a cup of hot tea into his hand to warm him up.

It was too cold outside. Jiang Xun had no extra clothes to wear. He was freezing.

He took a sip of hot tea and said, “Auntie Gu, I have something to tell you. There has been an accident at the Li family recently. Madam Li was ill recently. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are lying on the bed. The third daughter-in-law cooked yesterday and burned the kitchen.

“Last night when the eldest son Li Dajiang was trying to extinguish the fire, he fell. He twisted his ankles and his waist. Now he can’t do heavy work and has to be taken care of by others.

“I heard that their family has been arguing in the past few days, saying that no one is working in the family. Now, the kitchen is burnt and it is hard for them to eat anything.”
