It wasn't until the evening that everything was packed and they moved it back to their new home.

Gu Qingzi called Old Man Gu to the side and gave Old Man Gu the remaining portion of her money. There was a total of 11 taels of silver, she gave 10 taels to Old Man Gu and kept the remaining 16 taels for herself.

Old Man Gu's hands trembled as he received the bag. After opening it, he said, "It's been hard on you, child." He knew about the Jia Family during the day.

Gu Qingzi shook her head and smiled sweetly. "It's enough for a family to have a place to stay."

"Let's go, pack our things, clean our room, and try to get some sleep at night." Old Man Gu nodded. He was not good with words, and was always on the move. Even though Old Man Gu was already in his forties, he was still the most active in his work.

Gu Qingzi frowned as she looked at Gu Wei.

"I want to live in a big room." Gu Wei stopped what he was doing and rushed into the big room with the blanket and threw the blanket on the bed.

Gu Qingzi went in and took out Gu Wei's blanket and threw it into the smallest room. She glared at Gu Wei, "Didn't you say every day that Second Sister-in-Law's child is bothering you to sleep, and you're still sleeping with Second Sister-in-Law? Now, you can sleep on your own, and I will live in that house with Second Sister-in-Law and the children. The other room is for our parents."

Gu Wei looked at the small house, "Why?"

"When that child is going to cry again, you have to go and coax him. Don't argue with his second sister-in-law. If you can do it, you and his second sister-in-law can sleep in that house." Gu Qingzi said with a deadpan expression, "Which do you choose?"

Gu Wei did not say anything, but started to clean up the room. His meaning was obvious.

Gu Qingzi snorted coldly. "Let's pack our stuff. It might rain in this weather. You go and mow down some straw so that no one can sleep in the house at night."

"Understood, go do your job." Gu Wei replied impatiently.

"You must remember that it will really rain tonight." The air was filled with water vapor, and the birds were flying low. Gu Qingzi already knew the weather.

After the matter was arranged to Gu Wei, Gu Qingzi wholeheartedly helped him pack his stuff, but she wasn't done packing. Seeing the bloodshot eyes of Madame Gu and Old Man Gu, Gu Qingzi worried that something might happen, "Mom, Dad, let's pack up tomorrow. Put everything into the house first."

"Alright." Old Man Gu agreed. When he stood up with his hands on his waist, Gu Qingzi felt her heart ache for him.

Later on, when no one was looking, he added some Spirit Spring into Madame Gu's and Old Man Gu's teacups.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble ~ ~ ~"

Gu Qingzi waited left and right, looking at the door for a long time, but didn't see Gu Wei. Thinking that Gu Wei probably didn't go, she went back to the small room to look for him, and when she opened the door, she saw Gu Wei who was sleeping and dying. She suddenly shouted, "Second Brother!"

Gu Wei was shocked by Gu Qingzi's loud voice and immediately sat up from the bed. "What's the matter?"

"Where's the grass?" Gu Qingzi asked coldly.

"Nope." Gu Wei did not feel the slightest bit guilty, "Hurry up and go out, I need to sleep."

"Can't you hear the thunder? It's going to rain. How many times have I said you have to go? Didn't you hear me? " Gu Qingzi was extremely disappointed with Gu Wei.

Gu Wei buried his head in the blanket and turned a deaf ear.

"I don't believe you can sleep." Gu Qingzi was so angry that she slammed the door and left.

Not long later, rain the size of beans began to fall. Rain leaked more or less in every room, and most of it leaked in Gu Wei's room.

Gu Wei touched the quilt that was already soaked to the skin and his wet underwear. How could he still sleep? It was really raining outside and it was drizzling inside the house.

His wife still had a little sister in the house, so he couldn't go. Now, Gu Wei really regretted not cutting the grass.

Gu Qingzi paced back and forth anxiously, but there was nothing she could do. With the heavy rain, she knocked on the door and asked, "Father, mother, are you asleep yet?"

"Nope, what's the matter, Qingzi?" Madame Gu asked.

"There's a leak in the house. I just found a piece of brown paper from a small house. It's too dark to reach the roof under the rain. First, cover up this piece of paper so that the quilt won't get wet. You won't be able to sleep." Gu Qingzi said word by word, her heart was truly worried for the two old men's bodies. Although they had Spirit Spring s, but it wasn't omnipotent, so she was still worried in her heart.

Old Man Gu glanced at Madame Gu, and Madame Gu said with a pained heart, "Ever since this child came out of the water, he's been much closer to us. I presume he's been a bit closer to us."

"Go open the door for the child." Old Man Gu nodded.

"Sigh." Madame Gu got up and opened the door for Gu Qingzi. "Let me help my mother."

The two of them used a tarpaulin to block the leaking water. Gu Qingzi felt a little guilty, "I knew I wouldn't let Second Brother cut the grass. Second Brother didn't go at all. If I did, Mom and Dad wouldn't be drenched."

"It's fine. Go back and sleep. Tomorrow, your mother and I will go cut it." Old Man Gu comforted her.

"Then I'll be going out." Gu Qingzi left for her room and found Lian Qingmei crying. "Second sister in law, what's wrong?"

"Zhi seems to be frozen. He was crying just now, but now he's not crying anymore. His body is very hot." Lian Qingmei hugged Gu Zhi fearfully.

"Let me see." Gu Qingzi took Li Zhi from Lian Qingmei's hands and touched Gu Zhi's head. He had a fever.

Thinking of Shen Yi during the day, holding the child, he picked up the oil-paper umbrella, "Second sister, if you trust me, I'll go visit a friend's home right now. Tomorrow, I guarantee that Zhi will be fine."

"Second sister in law naturally trusts you." Tears rolled down Lian Qingmei's face.

"Second sister in law, don't cry. Mother has used up all the tarpaulin at the door. Make sure the area is blocked. You can stay here for the night. Tomorrow will be fine." Gu Qingzi consoled.

"Alright." Lian Qingmei watched Gu Qingzi leave with her umbrella in her hand.

Gu Qingzi knocked on Shen Yi's door.

It was Shen Yi who opened the door, "I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but there's a leak in my house. We're fine with the shower, but the child is young. Can I come to your house for a night?"

Shen Yi looked at the red-faced child in her arms and nodded. He arranged a room for Gu Qingzi.

After doing all of this, Shen Yi felt like he had gone stupid. Why did he let her in just like that? He patted his head and felt like he was really dumb, trusting Gu Qingzi just like that?

On the other side, Gu Qingzi put Li Zhi on the bed, took off his wet clothes, covered him with a blanket, heated up a hot stove, and fed the child from the space. Just like that, she stayed beside Li Zhi for the whole night.

When the sun rose, Gu Qingzi reached out to touch Gu Zhi's head. Only when the temperature wasn't too hot did she feel at ease. Gu Zhi should be fine.

Ye Zichen carried the child, then left after thanking Shen Yi.
