Shen Sitian happened to see him too. She was slightly stunned when she saw him and smiled.
Then, she turned around and went through the door to help pack the stuff.
She had already embroidered several handkerchiefs over the past few days. Her embroidery skills were not bad, and even Aunt Ke was amazed.
When Shen Sitian left the Gu village, she had taken 20 taels of silver from Gu Gang. Although it was not a small amount, Gu Yundong had paid for her meals and accommodation along the way.
When they arrived at the Gu house, Shen Sitian insisted on offering Gu Yundong ten taels of silver for her cost during this period of time.
Currently, she only had ten taels of silver on her. It was really not enough, and she urgently wanted to earn more.
After all, she still had to build a house in the future. Food, clothes, and transportation all required money.
Shen Sitian planned to stay single for the rest of her life. She had once been a concubine to an old man. Although there were few people who knew about it, there was still a hurdle in her heart that she could not overcome. It was actually quite good to be alone.
If she embroidered more handkerchiefs, she could retire after earning enough money.
Holding the handkerchief in her hand, Shen Sitian planned to go to town tomorrow and sell the handkerchiefs for some money.
She went to look for Gu Yundong. She had wanted to ask him how to get to town, but Gu Yundong said directly to Father Tong, “It just so happens that Yunshu and the rest are on leave tomorrow. You can drive Miss Shen to the town’s cloth shop.”
Father Tong agreed.
The next morning, he prepared carriage. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to set off, Madam Yang also wanted to go.
Gu Yundong was surprised. “Mother, why are you going to town?”
Madam Yang ran back to her room and took out two handkerchiefs for her to see.
Gu Yundong was even more surprised. “Mother, did you embroider them?”
Madam Yang nodded proudly. She had actually learned a lot from Shen Sitian over the past few days. Seeing Shen Sitian embroidering at the side, she was also busy with her needlework.
Madam Yang was a calm person. Compared to Gu Yundong’s terrible skills, Madam Yang seemed to be talented in this aspect. With someone teaching her, she actually did quite well.
Even Shen Sitian did not know that she had secretly embroidered two. After taking a closer look, she realized that they were actually quite exquisite.
“Mother, are you planning to sell the handkerchiefs too?” Gu Yundong was pleasantly surprised and could not bear to part with them.
Madam Yang nodded. “In exchange for money.”
Shen Sitian smiled. “Then give me the handkerchiefs and I’ll help you sell them, okay?”
Madam Yang suddenly hid the handkerchiefs behind her back. She pursed her lips and said, “I’ll go myself.”
Gu Yundong smiled when she saw how determined her mother was. “Mother, you’re amazing. Alright, Mother will go with Sitian. I’ll get Shuitao to follow you.”
Madam Yang immediately nodded happily and hurriedly got into the carriage.
Gu Yundong shook her head helplessly and instructed Tong Shuitao not to leave Madam Yang’s side.
Tong Shuitao agreed seriously.
Thus, when Gu Yunke woke up and wanted to play with her mother, she searched the entire Gu family but could not find her mother.
Madam Yang carefully wrapped the two handkerchiefs and looked happy.
Shen Sitian smiled. “When did Auntie embroider them? I didn’t even see you.”
“In my room.”
“Madam, you’re actually keeping it a secret.” Tong Shuitao smiled as she supported Madam Yang.
The three of them were not lonely as they chatted and laughed in the carriage. Just as the carriage was about to leave the village, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside.
“Father Tong, are you going to town? Can you give me a ride?”
Shen Sitian lifted the curtain and saw Jiang Yongkang standing outside with a bag on his back..
