Gu Yundong walked forward and asked with a smile, “Uncle… Jiang, what’s the matter?”
When Jiang Yongkang saw her, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I passed by the river just now and saw your mother sprained her ankle. There was a lady supporting her, but she looked like she couldn’t walk steadily, so she asked me to come to your house to inform you.”
Gu Yundong hurried out. “Thank you for coming to tell me.”
Jiang Yongkang led the way. “It’s nothing. No matter who it is, they will help. It’s just that I’m a man and can’t support your mother. I can only help run errands.”
As he spoke, they saw Shen Sitian and Madam Yang walking over carefully.
Shen Sitian had come to the river to wash clothes. She was now living with the Gu family. Although Gu Yundong had taken good care of her, she did her own things. Sometimes, she would help the Gu family with some work.
As for Madam Yang, she was used to doing chores in the past. Although there were already servants at home now and she didn’t have to wake up early and work late at night, she couldn’t change her habits in a short time. If she didn’t do something, she would feel at a loss.
Gu Yundong did not hold her back. If she wanted to cook, she could cook. If she wanted to wash clothes, she could wash them. If she wanted to play with puzzles, she could play. She could also sleep or rest as long as she was happy.
Today, she saw that Shen Sitian was going to wash clothes, so she carried a small basket out. There were only two old clothes that she had found.
Shen Sitian took care of her and coaxed her to sit on a rock to chat with her. She was fine at first.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to stand up after washing her clothes, she almost fell. Madam Yang panicked and immediately rushed up to help her.
However, while Shen Sitian was safe and sound, Madam Yang sprained her ankle.
This place was close to the foot of the mountain, and the girls and women in the village rarely washed here. Shen Sitian did not see anyone, so she helped Madam Yang back. However, she was thin and weak, so it was especially difficult for her to walk.
Fortunately, Jiang Yongkang saw them and went to the Gu family to call for help.
When Gu Yundong came over, she squatted down and carried Madam Yang on his back.
Jiang Yongkang was surprised. “Miss Gu is so strong.”
Gu Yundong smiled. “I’ve trained.”
Although she was not as strong as Tong Shuitao, it was not a problem for her to carry Madam Yang.
Shen Sitian stood at the side and supported her. Seeing this, Jiang Yongkang said, “How about this? I’ll make another trip and find the doctor.”
Before Gu Yundong could reject him, he had already left.
She could only carry Madam Yang home first.
The matchmaker had already left, and Shao Qingyuan had also changed his clothes.
Seeing Madam Yang being carried back, the family surrounded her nervously.
Fortunately, Jiang Yongkang quickly brought the village doctor over. Although this doctor was not as good as the county doctor, he was still quite good at treating physical injuries.
The moment he arrived, he asked about Madam Yang’s pain. When Aunt Ke saw Jiang Yongkang standing at the side, she was stunned.
While Madam Yang was talking, she pulled Gu Yundong aside and asked, “What’s going on? Why is he here?”
“Uncle Jiang ran over to inform me that my mother sprained her ankle. Later, he sent for the doctor.”
Aunt Ke nodded and walked back with Gu Yundong.
Unexpectedly, she heard Jiang Yongkang comfort Madam Yang. “Bear with it. It won’t hurt.”
However, Madam Yang kept shaking her head and refused to let the doctor touch her feet. When she saw Gu Yundong coming over, she seemed to have found her backbone and reached out to hug her. She stretched out her trembling feet for the doctor to treat her.
Jiang Yongkang:”…”
