Chapter 097 He cheated us, so can’t we cheat him?
Gu Mingtang was not good at speaking, but he tried his best to explain for his wife, "Lan'er, your second aunt would never do such a thing."
Gu Lan laughed, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, what are you doing? How could I not believe you?"
She glanced at Li Mumu and said, "I guess what my cousin meant was that something was done to me at the pawnshop. She didn't want to pay, but she wanted to take my things. That's why she resorted to such despicable means, and Yu'er was wronged."
Song Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that everyone trusted her, but soon she became indignant again, "This is damn it, how can someone be so evil?"
When Gu Yu heard that it had nothing to do with him, he cried even louder.
Song Qiang squatted down awkwardly, "Son, I'm sorry, Mom... I misunderstood you. Mom was also worried. Does it still hurt?"
Gu Mingtang cleared his throat and said, "Your mother has apologized to you, don't cry."
Gu Yu really stopped crying. "I...it doesn't hurt, Mom, you can hit me, but you can't wrongly accuse me. That guy is the worst."
Song Qiang saw that her son was not angry with her, but she still felt a little uncomfortable inside. "Yes, that boss is the worst. I absolutely can't let this go. I'm going to find her."
"I'll go with you too." Gu Mingtang said.
"Wait." Gu Lan shook his head. "Uncle and Aunt, forget it, okay? We don't have any evidence. Can you prove that it wasn't this bracelet you took when you walked in? Besides, with our status, it's not appropriate to make a big deal out of this."
Gu Lan knew she had to say this because the bracelet was hers. If she started a fight over the bracelet and caused trouble for the yamen runners, making the rest of their time miserable, it would not be worth it.
"I..." Song Qiang's face fell again. "I'm already in my forties. How could I have been deceived by him? And we're just going to take this loss like this?"
Everyone was also very angry, but what could they do without evidence?
The boss dared to do this only because he was sure of this.
"Of course we can't just let it go like this." Li Mumu said. As they got along, everyone became more and more able to accept that she was not a silly girl, and was even a little smart. She could then show off her abilities more and more.
At this moment, Liuzi came back with two yamen runners carrying large and small bags. When he saw them coming back, he said excitedly: "I have something to tell you. We can't leave Suzhou for the time being."
"What happened?" Gu Mingyu asked.
Liuzi sighed. "To leave Suzhou, we have to cross a river, but it's frozen over, so boats can't cross. If we walk across, the ice isn't solid enough. It'll take half a month to get around, and Suzhou is so cold. I've heard it will freeze solid in three to five days. We can leave then."
"Really?" Li Mumu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but sigh that God was helping her. "Are we going to rest here for three to five days?"
Liuzi nodded. "This is the only way. Either the weather is good and the ice is clear, so we can take a boat across, or we can just freeze over and walk across. Anyway, we can't get across now."
Everyone was very happy, not only the Gu family, but also the Li family cheered.
After walking for so long, my feet are covered with blisters layer after layer, and I haven't had a day off.
Not to mention three or five days, even a day or two can help you recover a lot.
But the happiest person was Li Mumu, because three or five days were enough for her to teach that black-hearted boss a lesson.
"Uncle, can I go out for a while?"
If it were someone else, Liuzi might have considered it, but since Li Mumu had saved his life, he nodded without hesitation. "It's windy outside, and it looks like it's going to snow. Wear more clothes so you don't get cold. Didn't you buy enough?"
Li Mumu nodded, "It's missing the dog's black heart."
Liuzi wondered what kind of medicine this was?
But he glanced at the Li family and asked, "Brother Ma and Li Yuan haven't come back yet?"
Li Mumu looked at Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu nodded at her calmly, indicating that he understood.
"Mumu, what are you going to do? Didn't you say there is no evidence?" Gu Mingtang asked.
Li Mumu nodded and blinked. "He cheated us, so why can't we cheat him? God has given us a chance. If we want to get our money back, we have to work together."
Everyone was confused, but the little girl had already brought them many surprises.
What they were thinking at the moment was that since they were free anyway, they might as well go and see what the little girl was tinkering with.
Li Mumu was very proud of having the support of her whole family. "Cousin, you come with me first today."
Gu Lan nodded, "Okay, but there's still tomorrow?"
"Let grandpa and grandma go tomorrow."
"We?" Old Master Gu laughed and joined her in her nonsense. "What about our business?"
"Grandpa, can you help me?" Li Mumu asked.
"Help!" Gu Jian said with a doting look, "Of course I helped."
"I'll tell you and grandma how to do it tomorrow. Today, just watch me and my cousin do it."
Gu Yuru watched the two sisters walk out hand in hand, but she reminded them, "Mumu, your cousin is pregnant, you have to be careful."
"Aunt, you worry too much. With Mumu here, you should be more at ease."
Gu Yuru smiled, and Zhang Yi took her hand and walked away. "Although Lan'er is pregnant, she can still have the baby. Don't worry, just wait and see what the two sisters are doing."
Li Mumu roughly told Gu Lan what she was going to do. Gu Lan was a smart man, both literary and martial. Although he still didn't understand some things, he was willing to do what the little girl said.
Soon they arrived at the Yuanbao Pawnshop that Song Qiang mentioned.
The shop is not small, but it is almost closing time so there are not many people there.
Gu Lan glanced at Li Mumu, took a deep breath, and strode in.
Gu Lan's clothes were the same ones she wore at the Pei family. One could tell at a glance that she was a young lady from a wealthy family. She no longer wore her hair in a bun, and her belly was not bulging, so it was impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
Li Mumu is also clean, pink and cute, and you can tell at first glance that she is a little girl who has been carefully raised.
"Hey, Miss, you are..."
Poor people come to pawn things, but it’s hard to say about people dressed richly, so the boy paused and looked at Gu Lan.
Gu Lan had an extraordinary temperament. She glanced at him with contempt. She swore that she didn't usually look at people like that. "Call your shopkeeper out. I have a business deal to discuss with him."
The more contemptuous the man was, the more the waiter dared not neglect him and hurried to the back to invite the shopkeeper out.
Seeing a mole on the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth, the two sisters looked at each other and confirmed that he was the bad guy Song Qiang had mentioned.
"Miss, what business do you want to discuss with me?"
Gu Lan put the things in his hand on the table.
A painting and a fan. Li Mumu bought the painting for ten cents on the street. It was too rough to be used as toilet paper. As for the fan, it was given as a gift when she bought the painting.
The man's eyes fell on the painting. He excitedly opened it, but with a look of disgust on his face, he recognized that it was not the work of a famous artist and was worthless. "Miss, are you kidding me?"
