Chapter 190 It’s just money!
Dong Zixu glanced at Li Mumu and smiled contemptuously, "One hundred taels of silver per person, if you can afford it, why are you still here?"
He was just certain that the Gu family couldn't afford it.
But this is exactly what Li Mumu wanted.
"Every one of you will be paid 100 taels each. If you can't come up with that, just work here until you die." Dong Zixu said loudly.
Li Mumu curled her lips, "One hundred taels per person?"
"That's right. There are more than a dozen people from your Gu family. One hundred taels per person. I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back even if you work until you die." Dong Zixu said contemptuously, his greedy eyes swept across the faces of Gu Yuru and Song Qiang.
In his eyes, Song Qiang was a beautiful flower, but he didn't know that she was actually a rose with thorns.
Although Gu Yuru looks gentle, she is someone he cannot control. Her fists will not allow anyone to covet her.
"However, considering that your Gu family has many women, all of whom came from the capital and are from wealthy families, I will not make things difficult for you. Instead, I have found a good job for you."
"Sir!" Li Rong had followed him for a while, so how could she not know what he was thinking.
She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have let this lecher see the women of the Gu family. But it didn't matter. Fortunately, she had her third brother's support.
Dong Zixu glared at Li Rong, and Li Rong lowered her head.
"You two, follow me." Dong Zixu couldn't wait any longer.
These two are beauties with their own unique characteristics. Compared with them, the beauties in his backyard are just like wooden sticks.
"I'm not going."
"That's not up to you." Dong Zixu said with a wicked smile, "My job there is much easier than here."
Dong Zixu gritted his teeth. Not to mention the wives of officials, he had even played with ladies from noble families, but few of them were as tough as the women from the Gu family.
Dong Zixu said as he moved closer to Song Qiang and Gu Yuru, "I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Dream on!" Song Qiang said coldly.
"That's right, they are not going." Li Mumu said loudly.
Dong Zixu smiled. "You're not going? You have to do whatever I tell you to do. Even if I tell you to die, you have to die. Who told you to owe money?"
"What if we pay it back?" Li Mumu asked with a smile.
"Return, what will you use to return?" Dong Zixu asked.
Li Mumu tilted her head to look at him, then chuckled, "Pay it back with money, what else can you use? Are you kidding us, sir?"
"Shut up." Dong Zixu roared, "Pay it back, pay it back. Once you pay off your debt, as long as you don't leave the county, you can do whatever you want."
"Alright!" Li Mumu clapped her hands happily, "I've been waiting for you to say that."
"Then please calculate how much silver our family has to pay back in total!"
Dong Zixu was so angry that he laughed, "You said it as if you can really afford it."
After saying that, he sneered, "There are fifteen people in your Gu family. One hundred taels per person, that's one thousand five hundred taels. Bring it here."
He said this to Song Qiang and Gu Yuru. After all, he felt that a little kid definitely couldn't come up with so much money.
"That's not right."
Li Mumu said in a baby voice, "There are fourteen people in our family. My cousin is not on the list, so she doesn't count."
"Haha, you know how to count. Then it's one thousand four hundred taels. If the Gu family can afford it, they don't have to come here to work anymore."
Li Mumu wanted him to say it in front of these people, otherwise she was afraid that he would deny it in private.
This time, with so many people, no one can guarantee that anyone can return to the capital, and he dare not go back on his word.
"My Lord, is this a deal?"
"Nonsense, my words mean what I say."
Li Rong tried to pull his arm, but Dong Zixu pushed her away. He knew that the Gu family had been searched several times while he was awake, so where did the money come from?
However, the next scene left everyone present dumbfounded.
"This...hahahaha...this is ghost paper, money for the dead, haha...are you a fool?"
Li Rong felt relieved when she saw Li Mumu pull a handful of paper money from her pocket. She then sneered, "Sir, you're right this time. Wasn't she a fool before? It seems she's had a seizure. Paper money... Haha, I thought you could actually come up with it!"
Li Mumu curled her lips, "Why rush? It will always be useful."
"What are you talking about, you little bitch?" Dong Zixu shouted angrily, "Someone, give me this child..."
However, before he could finish his words, Gu Yuru took the lead and stood in front of his daughter. She had a stern expression and was full of vigor, as if she would fight to the death with anyone who dared to touch Li Mumu.
Not only the Gu family, but also some people centered around the Bai family stood up.
Dong Zixu panicked when he saw their posture. "You...what are you doing?"
"Sir, why bother with a child?" Old Bai said in a deep voice.
"Okay, for Mr. Bai's sake, I'll spare your life." Dong Zixu knew that although the Bai family had fallen, there were still people in the court who spoke for them.
He still has some concerns.
"You two, follow me. Now that the debt is paid, you will have to obey me."
Li Mumu made a face, "I've already told you, why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Mumu said as she took out another stack of papers, but after the previous experience, no one took it seriously.
She walked over with her short legs, "Here!"
"Could it be paper money again?" Dong Zixu took a quick look and it didn't look like it, but he didn't take it. It would be so unlucky if it was.
The yamen runners quickly took it in their hands and counted it, "Sir, it's...it's 1,400 taels of silver."
"Silver note?"
The yamen runner nodded, "Yes!"
"How many?"
"One thousand... one thousand four hundred taels!"
"How is this possible?" Li Rong screamed in a shrill voice.
Not to mention others, even the Gu family members were shocked.
Where did the little girl get so many banknotes?
Dong Zixu quickly took it in his hand and looked at it several times to confirm that the banknote was real.
He was completely stunned.
Li Rong was also confused. "Where did you get so much money? Did you steal it? Did you rob it? In short, it's not good money."
Li Mumu glared at her and said, "We earned it ourselves."
"That's right, just because we have money doesn't mean it comes from benefits. Do you think it's you?" Song Qiang said unhappily. She really looked down on Li Rong.
You can't blame others for looking down on her, she herself doesn't value herself either.
"Yes, if it was really stolen or robbed, someone would naturally report it to the police." Gu Yuru said.
"How did you make it? It's only been a few days, and you've made so much money. Who are you trying to fool?" Li Rong asked again.
Gu Yuru curled her lips and said, "How did we earn money? Why should I tell you? After all, when we came here, the adults also checked us out. We are penniless. It's not the money we hid."
"Also, who are you to ask these questions?"
