Chapter 1486: Four Brothers and SistersEditor: Henyee Translations

Speaking of which, Carpenter Pang was 32 years old this year, and Mei Hong was 26. The age difference between the two of them was not very big.

If the two of them really had feelings for each other, it would be a good thing for them to get together.

However, it seemed that Carpenter Pang had such thoughts. She had yet to see Mei Hong and did not know what she was thinking.

At the thought of this, Gu Yundong glanced at Carpenter Pang and said, "Since you’re here to help, you can work first. I’ll go in and see Mei Hong."

"Alright, boss."

Carpenter Pang heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly called out to Mei Lin, who also did not dare to make a sound, and went to repair the house.

Gu Yundong turned around and entered the house.

Mei Hong’s room was not big. An old doctor was prescribing a prescription inside.

In addition, there was a girl in her teens and a three or four-year-old boy in the room.

When the girl saw Gu Yundong, she quickly stood up. "You..."

"I’m the owner of New Tea Pavilion."

The girl immediately became nervous. She hurriedly ran over and brought a stool over. She wiped it carefully with her sleeve and invited Gu Yundong to sit down.

Gu Yundong thanked her and walked to the edge of the bed to look at Mei Hong.

Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to have fallen asleep. However, her brows were tightly knitted, and she looked uncomfortable.

Gu Yundong asked the doctor about her condition.

The doctor handed the prescription to the girl and said, "She’s alright. She just got hit in the back. She avoided her vital points and suffered some internal injuries. She spat out a mouthful of blood. Just rest. She’ll recover quickly."

Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief. After watching the doctor leave, she looked at the girl again.

She remembered that Mei Hong’s sister was called Mei Lan. She should be this person in front of her.

According to Nanny Xia, Mei Hong’s family consisted of four siblings. She entered the palace when she was in her teens. Later on, she left the palace. Although she was old, with her ability and the savings she had accumulated in the palace, it was not a problem for her to find someone to marry.

However, when she left the palace and returned home, her parents had passed away a few years ago.

As for the remaining three siblings, although her second brother had married, because their family was poor and he had younger siblings to raise, his life was really difficult.

Hence, two years after giving birth to a son, Second Brother’s wife finally couldn’t take it anymore and ran away with someone. They didn’t know where she was now.

Second Brother was agitated and his originally weak body collapsed. He lay on the bed sickly. There was very little he could do and he had to take medicine.

The third sister, Mei Lan, was not old, but she had already begun to bear the burden of the family.

Fourth Brother Mei Lin helped to take care of his nephew who was staggering. He was the child that Gu Yundong had seen just now.

When Mei Hong came out of the palace, she was faced with such a scene. The Mei family had borrowed some money at that time. When those creditors heard that Mei Hong had returned from the palace, they came to collect the debt.

Although Mei Hong hated her parents for selling her into the palace, she could not bear to see her younger siblings.

Especially her second brother, who was only three or four years older than her. Back then, the two of them were very close. When she was sent away, her second brother did not know. Her parents took her away overnight.

Looking at her sickly second brother and the timid and thin third brother and fourth sister she had never seen before, Mei Hong could not harden her heart and turn around to leave.

She used the money she had to pay off her debts. As the eldest sister, she began to bear the burden of the family.

However, even though she had learned some skills in the royal palace and could read, it was still difficult for women these days. It was even harder for her family to live a good life.

In less than a year, Mei Hong’s second brother’s body completely collapsed and he was gone.
