Chapter 1484: This Silly Kid

Then, a voice came from above. "Get in."
Mei Lin turned around and saw Gu Yundong waving at him.
He stood rooted to the ground in a daze. He only reacted after Tong Shuitao patted him.
Gu Yundong called him again. "Get in the carriage. Let’s go to your house to see your elder sister."
Mei Lin was shocked. "No, there’s no need. My sister is really fine. She’s really fine."
As he spoke, he wanted to run again, as if they would not be able to find his home without him.
However, he had only taken a step when he was pulled back by Tong Shuitao.
"Hurry up, the carriage is blocking the road here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Lin realized that she had carried him into the carriage with one hand.
His eyes widened. This person was so strong.
Mei Lin was not old. He looked to be seven or eight years old, but he was thin and small. The shaft of the carriage was still a little tall for him. He looked down and hesitated for a moment.
After a short while, the carriage started moving.
Mei Lin could only hold the carriage door tightly, not daring to move.
Gu Yundong asked him to come in and block the wind, but he shook his head crazily.
Gu Yundong did not force him. After seeing that he no longer tried to get out of the carriage, she asked him about the specific situation.
But this kid felt that he had said too much previously, which led to Gu Yundong and the others going to his house. It might cause Eldest Sister to lose her job.
Therefore, no matter what Gu Yundong asked, he lowered his head and repeated in a low voice, "My elder sister is really fine. There’s no need to go through so much trouble."
Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao looked at each other and rubbed their foreheads helplessly. They could only stop this topic for the time being.
The carriage passed by the shop that was under renovation not long after. Gu Yundong and the rest did not get out of the carriage and only looked in through the door.
They didn’t see Carpenter Pang, only his two disciples.
Gu Yundong did not think too much about it. She quickly retracted her gaze and sat in the carriage.
Before long, the carriage stopped at the entrance of South Bridge Alley.
The intersection of South Bridge Lane was narrow, and it had snowed yesterday, so it was not easy for carriages to enter.
Hence, Tong Shuitao stopped the carriage at the entrance of the alley and asked someone to watch over it. The three of them got out of the carriage and walked in.
The closer he got to the Mei family, the more anxious Mei Lin became. He turned around a few times to secretly look at Gu Yundong. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he wanted to dispel her thoughts of going to his house.
However, the Mei family was not far away. It did not take long for them to arrive.
At this moment, many neighbors were gathered at the entrance of the Mei family’s house, discussing the collapsed roof.
An auntie turned around and saw Mei Lin. She quickly went forward and said, "Mei Lin, where did you go so early in the morning? Your house collapsed, why are you still running around? The doctor came to your house. I don’t know how your elder sister is. Hurry up and go in to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Mei Lin quickly squeezed through the crowd and walked in.
Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao also walked forward. The auntie was stunned when she saw them. "Who are you?"
"I’m Mei Hong’s boss."
The auntie’s eyes suddenly lit up. "You’re the owner of the shop where Mei Hong works? You’re here to see Mei Hong? Aiyo, let me tell you, Mei Hong is so pitiful. It’s not easy for her to take care of her younger siblings alone. You gave her a good job and saved her family’s lives. You’re a good person, you..."
Before the auntie could finish speaking, Mei Lin, who had run in earlier, ran back.
He interrupted the auntie and hurriedly invited Gu Yundong and the rest inside.
That auntie stomped her feet. This silly boy, he didn’t even let her finish playing the pity card. What if the boss despised Mei Hong for being injured and didn’t hire her?
