Gu Nanfeng's expression was slightly unnatural, but he still nodded with a forced smile.

His sister is really something, she insists on calling him Little Wind.

"Uncle!" Gu Chen called out.

Gu Bao and Gu Ru also looked at Gu Nanfeng in surprise. Was he really their uncle?

Second brother wouldn't lie to them; I never imagined they had an uncle.

"Your uncle has finally found you. I will never let you suffer again." Gu Nanfeng looked at the three children dressed in old clothes, his heart filled with sorrow.

It's all his fault for returning to Beijing too late, causing his three children to wander and suffer a lot.

Lin Shuyun, having watched enough, spoke up, "So, is this your family reunion?"

"Little Fengfeng? Are you sure you're not crazy? You just randomly hit me, my arm still hurts!"

I never expected that the uncle who casually saved these three boys would be this person.

Now let's see how Gu Nanfeng will test her.

Lin Shuyun started to have her own plans.

Gu Ru whispered, "Uncle, Madam Lin is a good person. If it weren't for her saving us, none of us would be alive! Second Brother almost died!"

Gu Bao nodded in agreement, "Yes, Second Brother was already seriously injured, and that beggar even came in to bully us. Madam Lin is a good person! Don't bully her!"

"Lady Lin saved my life and took us in." Gu Chen's face was still pale, and his injuries had not yet healed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanfeng was filled with malice. He ordered his men, "Break that beggar's legs and feet, and chop him into pieces to feed the dogs!"

"Uncle, you're so scary!" Gu Bao, still held in Gu Nanfeng's arms, looked pitiful and was somewhat frightened.

Gu Nanfeng instantly realized what was happening and smiled. "I was just too angry. Just kidding. Uncle is a good man! How about we have someone beat up that beggar to vent your anger?"

Gu Bao burst into tears, "Okay, Uncle, it's so good to have you. We'll never be bullied again, and we won't go hungry. Why didn't you appear sooner? If only you had appeared sooner! Our mother wouldn't have died! Waaah..."

Thinking of his three nephews who almost died, Gu Nanfeng, a grown man, couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

Lin Shuyun, completely oblivious to the situation, blurted out, "So my arm..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Nanfeng apologized, "I'm sorry, Madam Lin, I misunderstood you. I'm willing to compensate you with ten taels of silver, what do you think?"

"Ten taels..."

"Then twenty taels, thank you for taking in these three children." Seeing that she was not satisfied, Gu Nanfeng added ten taels.

Twenty taels of silver is a considerable sum of money in the village.

Without waiting for Lin Shuyun to speak, he said to the three children, "Let's go, all three of you come with your uncle."

Gu Chen shook his head, "Uncle, you take Xiaoru and Xiaobao away. My life was saved by Madam Lin. She used rare medicinal herbs, which probably cost more than two hundred taels. I want to stay and repay her kindness."

He was dying, and it was Lady Lin who saved him, given the circumstances. If it weren't for Lady Lin's intervention, they wouldn't be alive today.

Twenty taels of silver cannot repay such a debt of gratitude.

“Uncle, we’re doing well here and don’t want to leave Second Brother’s side.” Gu Ru shook her head, wiping away her tears.

Gu Bao also stated that the three of them, siblings and friends, should stay together.

They still need to find their older brother together.

Gu Nanfeng then looked at Lin Shuyun again, "Madam Lin, I know that the debt of saving my life is precious, but it is not something that cannot be repaid. Name your price."

This woman loves money, and he tries his best to satisfy her every need, whether it's money or anything of value.

"Although I love money, my medicine is truly priceless."

Lin Shuyun thought this person should be able to get Jiang Changtian a school registration, otherwise...

Before she could even finish thinking about it, Gu Chen spoke up in a serious and earnest tone.

"Uncle, you don't need to waste your time. A man keeps his word. I don't want to leave. I want to stay here."

He wanted to avenge his mother, but now was not a good time to go back to Shengjing with his uncle.

"Then let's stay in the village a little longer." Gu Nanfeng nodded in agreement, as if he had just thought of something.

Then he said to Lin Shuyun, "If there's anything you need from me, please don't hesitate to ask."

This is exactly what Lin Shuyun was waiting for.

Before she could even speak, Old Man Xu stood on the roof and shouted, "You said it yourself, Little Fengfeng! We're short of wood at home, go up the mountain and cut down some good timber!"

Gu Nanfeng's face darkened at the sound of the little wind chime, but when he looked up and saw Old Man Xu on the roof, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Who...who are you?"

He looked very much like that person, but their temperament and personality were completely different, which made him a little unsure.

Old Xu, hands on his hips, said, "Who am I? I'm this girl's father. You owe our family a debt of gratitude. What's wrong with asking you to chop a few logs? You're already unwilling? Your sincerity is far too shallow!"

"Old man, get down here, or you'll break your old arms and legs and I won't be responsible for you." Lin Shuyun sighed.

She's so old and still causes us so much worry.

She doesn't want wood, she wants money! At the very least, she wants to get Jiang Changtian a student status.

"You're my daughter. Even if I break my leg, I'll still take care of you, even if you don't. I'm sticking with you!"

As Old Xu said this, he was already climbing down the ladder.

"Who's your daughter? You're the one who recognized her, I didn't!"

Lin Shuyun pouted. Old Xu had already run up to her, pulled a handful of red and green dates from his pocket, and presented them to Lin Shuyun with a fawning expression.

"You little brat, come down here. Eat some dates. They're so sweet and sour, and so delicious. I picked them for you from the tree."

Jiang Changtian, who had been ignored all along, walked up to her, "Yunyun..."

Before he could even speak, Old Xu shoved him aside, saying, "Get out of the way. This is just a handful; I wasn't planning on giving you any food."

Jiang Changtian: ...

He wants to eat a few sour dates so he can talk to Yunyun.

He hadn't seen Yunyun all afternoon.

Qin Niangzi, who had been watching the show while eating melon seeds, started making sarcastic remarks, deliberately drawing out her words.

"Sometimes I really don't know what use a man is; he's quite an eyesore."

Xiaoqing scoffed, "You think everyone in the world is as heartless and ungrateful as you?"

"How am I heartless and ungrateful? Do you have any proof? You brat, all you do is cause trouble! If you have a problem with it, then say so!"

Qin Niangzi doesn't tolerate this boy's advances, and he teases her every now and then, but she has no temper.

Old Xu, as if he had seen through everything, said, "Even if you two argue until the sky falls, don't even think about taking my dates!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Qin Niangzi and Xiaoqing grabbed it.

These dates look delicious. We're all family, why shouldn't we let them have some?

Gu Nanfeng looked at the three people, and his vision began to blur again.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Gu Bao asked, jumping down from Gu Nanfeng's arms.

"These people, they..."

Gu Bao said, "They are all good people. Grandpa Xu even gave us sweet rice cakes."

"Qin Niangzi is a good person too. She even combed my hair nicely, and Brother Xiaoqing even gave Second Brother some clothes to wear." Gu Ru nodded in agreement.
