Dong Xiulan and her daughter returned later.

They were also quite helpless. They did not expect Gu Yunshu to be so good at talking. Big Sister was rarely happy today. If they did not eat, it would ruin Big Sister’s good mood. Big Sister had said that if he did not complete the mission and called them back, he would not come back to eat.

Coupled with Shao Qingyuan’s persuasion, Dong Xiulan could not be pretentious anymore.

Moreover, although she was next door previously, the fragrance coming from the kitchen was really too alluring.

The mother and daughter were quite embarrassed, especially when Gu Yundong asked her younger brother to bring food to the husband. The food looked better than the restaurants in town. They had never tried it before.

Niu Dan was also very happy. He had been praised by Master and could eat delicious food when he came back. He was simply too happy.

After the meal, Madam Dong rushed to clean up the dishes, and Gu Yundong let her be.

When the sky turned completely dark, Shao Qingyuan came over with the washed dishes.

Gu Yundong was pouring water in the kitchen and preparing to wash his face. She was alone, so when he came in, the two of them bumped into each other.

Upon seeing him, Gu Yundong immediately thought of the previous problem. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, when she saw that he had put down his bowl and chopsticks and was about to leave, she still asked, “Were you the one who suggested to Aunt Zeng and asked her to go to the village chief’s house to let our family stay?”

Shao Qingyuan had always felt that one had to leave their name behind when doing a good deed. Otherwise, he would not have done it so obviously.

Hence, he nodded. “Yes.”

Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him steadily. “Previously, you helped me catch those four thieves and even packed them up and sent them to the courtyard. Shao Qingyuan, why are you helping me so much?”

Shao Qingyuan was surprisingly sharp at this moment. He could even guess from her subtle expression what kind of treatment he would receive after answering.

Therefore, he swallowed his original answer, which circled around the tip of his tongue. He said expressionlessly, “The egg fried rice was very delicious.” “…” What do you mean?

Shao Qingyuan explained, “1 caught those four people to thank you for your meal. I let you stay in the Zeng family’s house because it’s convenient for me to eat.”

Gu Yundong’s eyes widened. Was he doing this for food?

Shao Qingyuan nodded at her and left steadily.

Just as he left, Dong Xiulan happened to come over. She looked at his back in surprise and asked suspiciously, “Did Qingyuan say something to you?” She came over because she heard voices in the kitchen.

“He thanked me for the food 1 brought over. It was delicious.”

When Dong Xiulan heard that, she sighed slightly. “Actually, Qingyuan is also a pitiful child. He hasn’t eaten good food since he was young. In the past, when he was in the Li family, that family didn’t treat him as one of their own at all. Later, he moved out with Old Man Li and lived a hard life.”

“Isn’t he making money now?”

“Yes, he can earn money, but Qingyuan doesn’t know how to cook. Last time, he tried to cook porridge, but the kitchen was half burned. Later, his kitchen was deserted. 1 asked him to come to my house to eat, but he didn’t come. He only came once every ten times I called him. Actually, even if he came, my culinary skills can’t even compare to half of yours. He goes to town every two to three days and buys a large bag of steamed buns and pancakes. He can eat them for three to five days before buying them again.”

Gu Yundong was stunned. She recalled the last time she saw him nibbling on a dry steamed bun. Her expression became exceptionally complicated.

What a pitiful man..
