Chapter 459: Fatherly Love

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong closed the door and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Tong Shuitao shrank her neck and looked a little guilty.

On the other hand, Gu Dajiang turned to look at his daughter and saw that she was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Although he felt strange, he didn’t ask further.

However, he glanced at Tong Shuitao and said, “This… Miss Tong said that she’s the maidservant you bought? Her entire family is servants of the Gu family?”

At this moment, Gu Dajiang still didn’t know that there were six people in the Tong family. He thought that it was just her parents and her.

Gu Yundong looked at Tong Shuitao, who laughed dryly. “I thought Miss had spoken to Master, so…”

Gu Yundong could not help but laugh. She had thought that something was up.

“Father, I have something to tell you too. I plan to buy two more servants to take care of you.” She sat beside Gu Dajiang. Seeing that he was in good spirits, she couldn’t help but smile.

Gu Dajiang was stunned. He wanted to shake his head, but he realized that it was inconvenient. He hurriedly said, “No need, no need. Why would I need servants?”

“Father, you’re injured now. Someone has to take care of you.” She and Tong Shuitao were both women, so it was inconvenient for them to wipe his body.

Previously, she had asked the waiter to help, but he was already very busy. Yesterday, he had helped Doctor Yu for most of the day and was even scolded by the shopkeeper.

If it weren’t for the silver bonus, he probably wouldn’t have treated her well today.

Gu Dajiang also reacted. He did need help in this state. Previously, it was Dr. Yu who had brought him the chamber pot for him to relieve himself.

Embarrassment flashed across his face. He agreed after all, but…

“One is enough. I don’t need two. I’ll be better soon. Don’t waste money.”

Gu Yundong squatted down. “Father, I’m doing a small business now. I have money. Although it’s not much, it’s enough to buy two servants.” Yes, compared to the Xin residence, she was still very poor.

However, Gu Dajiang had a serious expression. “Just one. It’s not easy to do small business now. Save the silver as your dowry in the future.” His daughter was already 15 years old. She would be of marriageable age soon. When the time came, it would be time to discuss marriage.

In the past, when he was in the Old Gu family, he was worried that his father and stepmother would cause trouble and that Yundong would not be able to find a good husband. Now that he had left the place and Yundong was so good, she would definitely be very happy in the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Dajiang couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Seeing how insistent he was, Gu Yundong had no choice but to agree. “Father, rest first. I’ll be back soon.”

“Be careful. When you look at people, don’t judge them by their appearance. You have to see if they’re honest. Those brokers are very smart. We won’t buy any if the price is high. We can hire people too. Also, remember to buy just one.”

When Gu Yundong went out, she could still hear his worried reminders. Her heart was warm and sour. This was the love of an old father.

Even though he knew that she already started her own small business, even though he knew that she could bring his mother and siblings all the way to the Xuanhe Prefecture, in his heart, she was still a child who had not grown up. No matter what she did, he would always be worried.

Although Madam Yang was her mother, her situation was special. She looked more like her child.

Now, in front of Gu Dajiang, she was the daughter who needed his care, even though he was lying in bed and couldn’t do anything.

Gu Yundong’s smile widened. Looking at the sky outside, it seemed to be filled with joy from head to toe.
