The Farmer‘s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

The person who came was a woman in her mid-twenties. Her hair was tied into a woman’s bun, and her clothes were a little tattered.

She was still a little nervous when she entered. She looked around as if she was afraid that someone would suddenly jump out.

Gu Yundong asked her to sit, but she only dared to sit on half a stool.

When she saw that there were only Gu Yundong and Madam Yang in the house, the woman heaved a sigh of relief and said to her, “I, I’ve seen the person in this portrait.”

She took off the missing person notice. Perhaps because she was too nervous and hid it in her arms, it looked wrinkled when she took it out.

Seeing this, Madam Yang was immediately angry. She went forward and took the notice, placing it on the table and flattening it.

The woman was shocked by her actions and stood up abruptly. “W-What are you doing?”

Gu Yundong hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous. My mother just feels a little heartache when she sees such a good portrait wrinkled. It’s fine. You just said that you’ve seen the person in this portrait. Where did you see him?”

She tried her best to be gentle, even though she was already very anxious.

When the woman heard this, she sat down again. She bit her lip and asked her softly, “You, you said that you would give me ten taels of silver, right?”

“That depends on whether you’re telling the truth or not.”

“Of course it is.”

The woman hurriedly promised, “I swear that everything I’m saying is true.”

“Okay, I’m listening.”

The woman exhaled and said, “This person, this person’s name is Gu Dajiang, right?”

Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up. “Yes.”

“I’ve seen him before. It was when the Qing’an Prefecture was in chaos. I saw it after the soldiers from the Xuanhe Prefecture came here. At that time, the city was in chaos. Our family was poor, and our houses were in tatters. We thought that those refugees and bandits wouldn’t like them, so we hid at home and waited for this chaos to pass before coming out.”

At the mention of the past, the woman still had lingering fear on her face. “But I didn’t expect them to come to my house. At that time, the soldiers quickly chased after us. Those bandits saw that they couldn’t escape, so they captured me and my man. This Gu Dajiang came out at this time. He seemed to have given that officer an idea. Then, we were saved and those bandits were captured.”

Upon hearing Gu Dajiang’s name, Madam Yang sat obediently at the side and listened.

The woman continued, “That officer seems to admire Gu Dajiang very much. He even asked Gu Dajiang to work by his side. However, he didn’t succeed. Gu Dajiang said that he wanted to find his wife and children in Qing’an Prefecture.”

“That officer was quite disappointed. Later on, he said that he could help him find them. When he found them, he would agree to help him.”

The woman was quite envious at that time. Back then, Gu Dajiang’s clothes were tattered. Other than his clean face, his entire body smelled bad. It was obvious that he was a refugee who had escaped from Yongning Prefecture. The officer didn’t mind at all.

The problem was that Gu Dajiang actually rejected such an opportunity to soar.

The woman didn’t have a good impression of refugees, even though Gu Dajiang could be considered to have saved them.

But at the end of the day, if not for these refugees, why would their Qing’an Prefecture be in chaos? Why would she be captured by bandits? Why would more than half of her house be smashed? They were even poorer than before.

“The officer left after quelling the chaos. I heard that he made a great contribution and might go to the capital to become an official. We didn’t see Gu Dajiang again and thought that he must have left with that officer.”

The woman said, “I didn’t expect to see him again half a month later..”
