Pointing at her nose, Gu Yu asked,"Auntie, are you talking to me?”
She nodded happily and sat down on the stool. "Are you Qiu 'er?" Her eyes were filled with anticipation and were even flashing with tears. How should she put this, it made Gu Yu feel strange in her heart.
"This…Auntie, you might have made a mistake. My name is Gu Yu, not Qiu 'er!”
"How is that possible?" The woman, who was about 30 years old, muttered to herself. Her brows were deeply furrowed, and the wrinkles on her forehead were raised." No way. You look…very similar to my cousin. You're clearly carved from the same mold…"
Hearing this, Gu Yu couldn't help but stiffen. Looks alike?! That…this person, did he know her mother?
"Auntie, I…I lost my memory!”Her voice was filled with anxiety and excitement. This…this could be her relative." I…I can't remember what happened in the past. I used to live in the Mu family village at the foot of Ximu Mountain…"
Before she could finish speaking, the woman immediately held her little hand excitedly." That's right, that's right. You must be Qiu 'er. You must be Qiu' er. It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong…"
"Am…am I really Qiu 'er?!”She asked in a trembling voice, with a trace of disbelief. She…she also had relatives. She…she was not an orphan anymore?!
The woman wiped away her tears from her excitement." Of course. Looking at your appearance and your birthplace, I know you must be my niece, my Little Qiu 'er. Sigh, my poor cousin's family was buried under the mudslide just like that. Aiyo…When I heard this news, my heart was about to break.”
She grabbed her little hand tightly and looked at her with pity." I thought you had met with misfortune too. I didn't expect God to be so pitiful and let you live. That's great."”
When she said this, the innocent Gu Yu almost didn't suspect anything and immediately believed her. "Then…then you are my…"
"Aunt!" The woman continued with tears in her eyes. "I used to hug you when you were very young. At that time, you even called me 'aunt'. You called me so happily! So many years have passed and I've been busy, so I haven't come to see you. But you haven't changed at all. Your face really hasn't changed at all. It's just that your body has grown bigger and you look more and more like your mother.”
Like my mother? She muttered. So she looked like her mother.
"I remember you. You're so cute when you smile. You even have two dimples! Give Auntie a smile and see if it's still the same!”
Gu Yu hurriedly smiled, her face immediately revealing two cute dimples.
That woman was so excited, and she repeatedly caressed Gu Yu's small hand," Aiya, it's this smile, it's this smile, it really hasn't changed at all.”
Gu Yu shyly lowered her head.
"Qiu 'er, you said that your name is Gu Yu now. Why, did you get someone to adopt you?”
"Yes, I am. Gu Yu is the name Brother Li gave me. I live in the Red Remnant Valley now…"
She interrupted her eagerly." Are they good to you?”
She nodded.
"There are also little girls in the valley, right? This way, we can also be companions!”
" Yes, there's a new Sister Tang in the valley. She…" She looked hesitant.
"What's wrong? Did she not treat you well?”
She thought about it and shook her head." That…that's not what I meant. But…"
" What's wrong?!" She wrapped her hand around hers." If there's anything, just tell me. I'm not an outsider and I'll help you."”
After meeting Ma Xinduan and Tang Hongying, Gu Yu was very envious of Tang Feixiu. She had so many good relatives. She secretly wished that she could have a relative like him who would care for her selflessly and for her own good. This aunt whom she had just met had given her a kinship that she had never had before. She knew that there were still relatives in this world and that she was not alone.
Now that she said that she would make the decision for her, her heart was filled with gratitude.
So this was the feeling of being family!
Instantly, she poured out all the troubles in her heart to her. "Auntie, Sister Tang…she said that she likes Brother Li, and Brother Li will like her too. She told me to stay far away from Brother Li in the future, but…I like Brother Li too. Moreover, I liked Brother Li first. Before she came, I liked Brother Li for a long time.”Her tone could not help but carry a hint of coquettishness to an elder.
The woman's face immediately darkened." This is your Sister Tang's fault. You clearly liked your Brother Li first. How could she say this to you?" Our Qiu 'er is obedient and cute. No one doesn't like her. Your Brother Li will definitely like you too!”
"Really?" She blushed.
The woman nodded." Qiu 'er…Uh, no, Yu' er, you have to believe in yourself. You're so beautiful. Your Brother Li will definitely like you." No, your Sister Tang is too much of a bully. She must have seen that you're alone and have no one to rely on, so she's being rude!”
" This…" Gu Yu mumbled,""Actually…Sister Tang is not…is not considered bullying!”
"Humph!" The woman snorted coldly." You're the only one who's soft-hearted. No, I have to talk to your Sister Tang so that she can't bully you like this. You liked your Brother Li first, so she should quit!”
"Can I?" She looked at her in disbelief. If Auntie told Sister Tang, would Sister Tang stop pestering Brother Li?!
She patted her little hand." That's how it should be. How about this, auntie still has some things to deal with now. Later, uh…when will you return to the Remnant Red Valley?”
"I don't know!" She shook her head." Probably in the evening!”
"Alright, I'll wait for you by the stream outside the Red Crescent Valley. Bring your Sister Tang over and tell her not to like your Brother Li anymore, okay?”
"Is this…okay?" She hesitated.
"What do you mean by good or bad? How can she not listen to the words of her elders?! It's settled then! Auntie will be waiting for you there. Remember, don't tell anyone about your aunt. Otherwise, if your Sister Tang finds out that I'm backing you up, she definitely won't come looking for me with you.”
"Oh."
The woman took out a silver ingot from her bosom and stuffed it into Gu Yu's hand,"Aunt has to go handle some matters now and won't have the chance to have a good gathering with you. Take this silver ingot and buy something you like. Consider it a gift from Aunt."”
"No…no need." She hurriedly declined.
"Take it!" She glared at her angrily." Aunt isn't an outsider. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Remember, in the evening, Auntie will wait for your Sister Tang by the stream. Don't let Auntie wait for nothing.”
"Got it."
Madam patted her head and left in a hurry!
Gu Yu touched the place that was touched just now, a faint warm current surged in her heart.
So this was the feeling of being family. Good!
It was great to have someone to dote on, love, and pamper…
She had an aunt!
She was no longer an orphan.
" Hehe…" She covered her mouth and giggled foolishly.
Auntie even said that she wanted to persuade Sister Tang not to like Brother Li, hehe…This way, Brother Li will only like her. That's great, hehe…
Gu Yu really did not tell Li Yan and the others about her aunt. After buying the gifts, they went to visit the Ma Manor. In fact, she was a little afraid. She was afraid to see that strange and ill-intentioned brother again. Fortunately, that brother never came back.
When it was almost evening, the few of them bid farewell to Ma Xinduan and left in the Ma Manor's carriage.
When Ma Zhenshang came back at night and learned that Gu Yu had come, he immediately felt extremely dejected. There were only two chances in a month, yet he had missed it just like that. He learned from Tang Feixiu that they were only allowed to come out twice a month.
He immediately instructed the servants that if Gu Yu came in the future, no matter where he was, they must inform him.
It was a pity that she had slipped away for nothing this time!
Next time, next time, he definitely couldn't miss her.
It was undeniable that he liked Gu Yu very much. He liked her innocence, liked her kindness, liked her timid eyes, and liked her cute dimples when she smiled.
This liking came out of nowhere, but he didn't dislike it at all.
However, he didn't know that after missing this opportunity, things would be different when they met again!
