Chapter 153 It turns out that he cheated all of my uncle’s money
"Because, because my man hasn't passed the critical period yet, you can't disturb Xiaoxi from treating my man." Zhang stammered and found an excuse.
After hearing this, Patriarch Zhang saw through Gu Ping's wife's thoughts and said coldly, "I don't believe that asking a question will disturb Xiaoxi's treatment.
Besides, even if Xiaoxi is not free, Gu He and his wife are free, so hurry up and go!"
When Zhang Pingle heard his father say this, he snorted coldly at Zhang and trotted over to the stream.
Zhang felt a little disappointed and hoped that Gu and the others would not go too far because her husband was so seriously injured.
On the other side, Gu Xiaoxi settled her second uncle down and waited at home.
Finally, someone came to the door and saw that it was the youngest son of the old patriarch Zhang, so Gu Xiaoxi went to greet him.
"Xiaoxi, how is your second uncle?" Zhang Pingle asked.
"We have to survive the three-day danger period before we know what the situation is? Did my second aunt go over and make a fuss?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
"That's not the case. She's crying loudly at my doorstep, waiting for you to tell her how much compensation you can give her. She's waiting to ask Zhang Dagou for the money." Zhang Pingle obviously didn't like Zhang.
snort!
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi smiled coldly and said, "I thought my second aunt cared so much about my second uncle, but it turns out that what she really cares about is money.
She just made a scene at my house and asked us to feed her."
"If you want compensation, how much is appropriate?" Zhang Pingle asked.
Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Dagou caused serious injuries to my second uncle. Even if we take this matter to the government, he will have to pay compensation.
I also know that Zhang Dagou is not from a wealthy family, but he has a hot temper. If he gives too much, not only can he not afford it, but it will also cause other troubles.
How about this, you can say that I only accepted two taels of silver for the medicine because Second Uncle is a relative, but it is best to give this money to my Second Uncle."
Gu Nanming mentioned earlier that the money should go into the hands of Brother Gu Ping. Is he afraid that Zhang will take the money away?
Zhang Pingle couldn't figure it out for a while, and he was too lazy to think about it.
Anyway, what Gu Xiaoxi said was correct. If the Zhang family took this matter to the government, Zhang Dagou's family would also have to pay compensation. Since Gu Xiaoxi said it would be two taels of silver, Zhang Dagou's family would probably be able to come up with it if they could scrape together the money.
"Okay, let's do as you say. Thank you very much, Xiaoxi. If your second uncle was sent to another place, it would definitely be more than this silver." He probably understood that Xiaoxi didn't want to make things difficult for his father, so he didn't ask for too much.
"Thank you for taking this trip, Uncle Pingle." Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile.
"No trouble, no trouble. I'll go back and report to my father." Zhang Pingle said and turned to leave.
Gu Xiaoxi originally didn't want him to return empty-handed, but she thought that there must be a lot of people at the door of Patriarch Zhang. If she brought anything back to him, she would definitely be criticized, so she gave up.
Zhang Pingle trotted back home and told everyone exactly what Gu Xiaoxi had said.
Two taels of silver!
There were only two taels of silver, and it had to be given to the man she was with.
Zhang was so angry when she heard the result that she wanted to tear that little bitch Gu Xiaoxi to pieces right now.
When Zhang Dagou's mother heard that only two taels of silver were needed, she immediately said tactfully, "Old Patriarch, our Dagou was indeed at fault in this matter. I will compensate you with these two taels of silver."
"Two taels of silver, are you giving away to a beggar?" Gu Changlin was full of dissatisfaction.
"What? You and your son are used to being domineering in the village, and you want to rob us of our money? If you are not satisfied, go to the government office and file a complaint!" The old patriarch Zhang has never liked the younger generation Gu Changlin, and he doesn't like the honest Gu Changsen as much.
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked into the yard.
Zhang Pingchuan and Zhang Pingle glared at the mother and son angrily, then followed their father inside.
"Wait, I accept." Zhang said these words with gritted teeth.
"Mom!" Gu Changlin felt that this was too much of a loss.
"Shut up!" Zhang yelled at her son.
She is smarter than anyone else. How can it be easy to get to the county government office?
Not to mention getting Zhang Dagou and his wife to the yamen, her husband can't even move now, so it's not easy to get him there. I wonder how much money it will cost on the way?
After all, she was the one who made the mistake first, and if she was sentenced to two taels of silver, not only would she not make any money, but she also wondered if the two taels of silver would be enough to cover her loss.
Now that these two taels of silver are ready, it is better than having nothing.
"Pingchuan, go write a receipt so that everyone can explain it clearly. Please also trouble everyone present to be witnesses." Patriarch Zhang was afraid that Gu Ping's wife would cheat at that time, so he thought of all these things.
"Okay, Dad!" Zhang Pingchuan turned and entered the inner courtyard.
After a while, he came out with two receipts.
In order to let everyone see clearly what was written on it, the old patriarch Zhang found a literate person in the crowd of onlookers and asked him to read the content to everyone.
After reading, have everyone sign their names.
After signing the contract, Zhang Dagou's mother collected two taels of silver and handed them to the old patriarch.
"I will give these two taels of silver to Gu Ping personally after he recovers." Patriarch Zhang accepted the two taels of silver.
Zhang watched helplessly as the silver went into the hands of the old patriarch. She felt so angry that she scolded the old patriarch for meddling in her affairs.
"Okay, everyone, please be careful when you go up the mountain in the future. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will never let him off easily!" It was obvious that the words of the old patriarch Zhang were meant for Gu Ping's wife to hear.
After dealing with these things, he let everyone go, then took his two sons back to the yard and closed the door.
Bang!
The door was closed, and Zhang angrily pulled her youngest son back.
On the way, Gu Changlin complained, "Mom, they are obviously suppressing us. Why don't you go to the government office to seek justice?"
"You idiot, you think going to the government office is that easy. Don't you think about your father's current situation? If you take him out of that bitch's hands, will he be able to survive?
If your father died on the way, how would you let me live?
"Besides, the yamen is only open to the rich. Even if you go, you still have to spend money to hire a lawyer, and the verdict will be two taels of silver, which is not enough to pay us!" Zhang poked her youngest son's head.
After all, Gu Changlin had not seen much of the world, so how could he make such a calculation? After hearing what his mother said, he felt even more uncomfortable.
"Wouldn't it be a waste of time?" he muttered.
After hearing this, Zhang said calmly, "This isn't all in vain. Once the money reaches your father, just coax him and you'll have it."
"Mom is so smart. You must be tired. I will carry you back." After Gu Changlin said this, he walked forward diligently, carried his mother on his back and walked forward.
Gu Nanming had been following them secretly. Seeing this scene, he had to say that Gu Changlin was really a thief. It turned out that he had cheated all of his second uncle's money. No wonder Brother Changsen's life was so miserable.
