Compared to the men's silence, the women were really about to explode.
Gu Yan's two sisters-in-law spit at Gu Yan from a distance in a very unruly manner.
"You ungrateful bastard, you're only harming us when you're alive. If you want to die, just die. Why do you want to drag us down with you, you coward..."
Continuous insults came from the second and third rooms.
Gu Yan could only lower his head and dare not look back, and walked forward more eagerly than the officers and soldiers. It seemed that he wanted to get into the prison as soon as possible to be safe.
Wen Xi felt so ashamed to look at her cheap father who was such a coward.
The stepmother and the old lady beside her also pretended not to hear.
If it had happened in the past, the Bai family would have definitely cursed back. The relationship between the three branches was not very good to begin with, and when they met someone as arrogant as the Bai family, the two branches always suffered more.
But in today's situation, Bai knew that he was in the wrong, so he kept his head down and acted like a quail.
Soon, the entire third branch of the Gu family met two other families who were raided at the prison entrance. They were speechless and looked at each other's miserable expressions with bitterness.
Just as the men and women were separated at the prison entrance, there was another round of crying, because everyone knew that this separation might be forever!
After being beaten up again, everyone was obediently sent to their respective cells.
The dank cell was littered with clumps of straw. Two foul-smelling wooden barrels sat at the cell door. The floor was also covered in dust.
Looking at such a cell, it is really hard to accept for people who are used to money.
But most people know their situation, so they don't dare to lose their temper, but people like the Second Aunt are always exceptions.
She pinched her nose and muttered:
"Is this a place for people to live? Not even for animals. Oh, my shoes! How can I sit without a stool? How can I sleep without a bed?..."
Although she expressed everyone's good wishes, no one responded to her.
Wen Xi even grabbed Aunt Mao's hand and hurried inside, finding a corner to sit down. As a result, everyone looked at her like an idiot.
I don't know who said:
"A fool is a fool, and he still fights to get into the cell."
I thought I could finally take a break from today's frustrations, but just as we found some straw to sit down, I saw a woman in yamen clothes walking over to me and saying to the people around her:
"Hey, this cell is nice, not noisy. Remember to be gentle."
Everyone was confused and embarrassed.
What's going on? What are they going to do to us? Are they just attracted to women?
Several people couldn't help but tighten their clothes.
The yamen runners who had just responded walked towards the Second Aunt and Madam Gu, roughly undressing them, and then deftly took out some gold and silver jewelry.
You know, as soon as we came in, we saw that these two people were wearing the most luxurious clothes, so today can be considered a good start.
Then came the others.
When Aunt Mao saw this, she quickly took off her clothes and helped Gu Shengnan take them off, while signaling Wen Xi to take off her clothes as well.
The yamen runner who came over was a tall and thin woman with a somewhat bitter face. When she saw that several people were actively cooperating, she looked at them a few more times.
As usual, he came over to search Aunt Mao and Wen Xi, and only found a bracelet of very ordinary quality.
He felt the thickness of the clothes under his hand was different from others. He opened it and saw that it was a slightly wrinkled cotton clothes. He looked up at Aunt Mao again.
At this moment, the jailer standing at the door shouted:
"Ye Erniang, what are you dawdling about? Have you finished collecting?"
The man who was still holding onto Madam Mao's clothes looked at the Wen Xi siblings who were pretending to be pitiful and the ones who were truly pitiful at their feet, put down the corner of his clothes, turned around and walked away, then said sparingly:
"It's over. This one has no money."
The jailer saw a pile of gorgeous clothes and a small pile of money on the ground and complained:
"These officials and bandits are getting more and more excessive. They eat meat and only give us this little soup to drink."
A plump dark woman next to her said in a flattering manner:
"Today is not bad! The harvest is still good. Boss, you see, we..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers quietly.
The jailer glanced at her and said with contempt:
"Look at your achievements. When have I ever failed to benefit you?"
Then he shouted to the other yamen runners:
"Okay, after we finish work, let's go to the He family pawnshop together. I'll take you guys out for a good meal today."
The yamen runners cheered and rushed out of the door, leaving behind a group of stunned women.
