Chapter 132 The hero’s most amazing mother (XIX)
looks like she is thirty years old, but she may not be thirty years old.
Gu Qingcheng knew that people who worked outdoors or did physical labor all year round would look older than their actual age.
This person should be Qian’s husband.
"Cousin, my wife is Doctor Zhao's distant cousin, her maiden name is Qian——"
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng looked confused and didn't recognize them at all, the thin man in his thirties hurriedly spoke.
"oh!"
Gu Qingcheng deliberately showed a surprised expression.
Then, she smiled widely, with hope in her eyes, "Where's my cousin? Why didn't she come with us?"
She looked so eager, like a child waiting for adults to share fruit with her.
Of course I am looking forward to it! As an "investor", Gu Qingcheng wishes that he could receive the return on his investment on the same day.
As a middleman, Qian was the "God of Wealth" who sent her money.
"Oh no! Something happened!"
But Zhao Qingyun is not as naive as his mother.
Qian must have been exposed and something must have happened, so her family came to her house.
“Damn it!”
Zhao Qingyun gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
He knew that Qian had deceived his own mother, and that concubine was a domineering concubine of a wealthy family.
They had simply set up a trap and defrauded their family of 120 taels of silver.
This kind of thing is easy to succeed, but it is also likely to be exposed.
After all, a concubine is not the main wife, and although the county magistrate is not very honest, he is not a fool either.
Not only did they lend money at high interest rates, they were also suspected of cheating in the imperial examinations. If it happened, it would be a fatal disaster.
Or, the magistrate and his wife found out about the concubine's presumptuous behavior and secretly carried out a "cleansing" of her.
Or, someone was killed and the case was brought to the county government. The magistrate wanted to protect his family's reputation and the life of his favorite concubine, so he directly used accomplices like Qian as scapegoats!
No matter what the situation is, Qian and other evil people who are accomplices will end up in a miserable end.
Zhao Qingyun's mind worked quickly, and he almost guessed the truth just by listening to the crying of the Qian family.
He secretly hated her! He was grateful for his mother's kindness and couldn't bear to break her fantasy.
He had already thought of a way to make money, and he was just waiting for a month to be over. Then he would use the money he earned to make up for the deficit caused by his mother.
Zhao Qingyun didn't want her mother to know that she had been cheated.
He wanted to preserve his mother's innocence and also wanted his mother to fulfill her wish of becoming the "pillar of the family".
However, his plan was ruined by the arrival of Qian's family! "What? My cousin was arrested? And thrown into jail?"
Gu Qingcheng opened her eyes wide, as if she had heard something incredible.
In her heart, she silently gave a thumbs up to Mrs. Cui for her decisiveness in killing.
Well done!
People like Qian, who harm their relatives and neighbors for their own wealth and fame, should be severely punished!
Gu Qingcheng dared to bet that the Qian family had definitely not only harmed the "Gu family".
There must be others who have been deceived.
Gu was better off. She lost her money, but she also got a house and good farmland.
I am afraid that some greedy people will be intimidated by the title of the county magistrate's concubine and want to easily earn a 4% dividend, so they will not only take out all the money in their homes but also borrow money.
The money was embezzled by the concubine, and those who were deceived did not dare to go to the county government to protest their injustice, and could only swallow their anger.
However, their family assets and even the debts they have borrowed will make them breathless.
It is not impossible for the family to be destroyed! These people certainly had their own greed, but the concubine and Qian also had unshirkable guilt.
Qian was arrested? And was she imprisoned? Then what about Li? Gu Qingcheng met Mrs. Cui and got to know this county magistrate's wife, who was born into an official family.
This woman, like many well-educated noble ladies, is an excellent mistress of the house.
She supports her husband and raises children, looks after concubines, manages the household chores, and is virtuous and generous.
They are the good wives and mothers that men most desire, and the most suitable partners for their husbands.
In their husband's family, they are not only wives, but also hostesses.
They would not lower themselves by arguing with concubines and illegitimate children, but would look at the overall situation and consider the future of their husbands and families.
Therefore, Mrs. Cui should deal with Aunt Li quietly.
Either they die of illness or are sent to a nunnery for prayer.
She would not make public the stupid things Li did, as she was afraid to do anything wrong.
Mrs. Cui also wants to be a royal lady.
There must be no blemish on the husband's reputation!
Gu Qingcheng knew too well the mistresses of noble families like Cui.
She was this kind of person in her previous life.
It’s just that she is the top version and has reached the ceiling of a good wife and mother.
"The county magistrate said that my wife used the name of the county magistrate's concubine to deceive people and harmed many victims!"
"Oh, it's unfair! My wife is just an ignorant country woman."
"My sister is a maid in the county lord's house, and she serves the concubine. The concubine wanted to find a way to make money, but she was unwilling to invest..."
Qian's husband was just howling at first.
But when it came to this section, she finally couldn't help it and started to cry.
This time, their family really suffered a great disaster.
Not only was his wife captured by the officials, but even his sister Xiaocao disappeared.
I heard that he made a mistake and was sold out by his wife.
As for where it was sold, the Qian family didn't even dare to ask.
For slaves who have signed a death indenture, whether they live or die, whether they are kept or sold, is all decided by their masters.
Besides, Qian’s in-laws didn’t really care about their daughter Xiaocao.
It wasn't a natural disaster or man-made calamity, nor was it because they couldn't make ends meet. It was just because they didn't have enough money for the bride price for their son's marriage, so they sold their seven-year-old daughter.
She was so young, and they had been separated for seven or eight years, and had never been together. How could there be any feelings? Xiaocao's "disappearance" really made her parents and brothers distressed, but the monthly allowance of one hundred yuan and the opportunity to curry favor with the county lord!
However, after Qian was arrested, no one in her husband's family dared to think of currying favor with the rich and powerful anymore.
It’s terrible. They throw people into jail at the slightest provocation.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They will also be beaten with a stick to intimidate others.
A woman was pinned down and beaten with twenty sticks.
If he doesn't die, he'll be disabled.
Qian's husband went to the county to inquire about the news and was terrified.
It’s over!
No one knew where my sister was sold to, or whether she was alive or dead.
As for his wife, she was beaten until she was covered in blood as soon as she was taken to court.
Qian's husband had only one idea: divorce his wife!
Quickly cut off ties with the Qian family.
Woohoo, their family is an honest and decent family, how could there be a woman who commits adultery? However, she can be married to Qian and live in harmony. Her husband is, to some extent, the same as her.
Selfish and greedy! The man didn't want to care about Qian and even wrote a letter of divorce.
However, he still wanted to make some money through Qian's affairs.
If it's done well, maybe I'll even have enough money to marry a new wife.
"Cousin, my wife did this for you!"
"Now that something has happened, you can't just ignore her."
Having said that, the thin man wiped his face with his sleeve, revealing his pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
His triangular eyes flashed with greed, and he began to threaten, "The county magistrate is very angry and is continuing to investigate the case."
"If I go and report to the county magistrate that you are also involved in this 'fraud case', you will definitely be thrown into jail like Qian."
"Cousin, we are relatives, and I don't want to be so ruthless. But my family is in a difficult situation. Qian has cheated so many people, and the creditors have blocked my family."
As the man spoke, he looked around.
Houses in the countryside are not worth much, but the yard built by Zhao Guodong is a rare blue brick and tile house.
If it were sold, it would probably be worth around twenty or thirty taels.
The Zhao family still has hundreds of acres of fertile land. If they were all sold, they could fetch several hundred taels.
And there is Gu’s!
Although she is a little older, she is still beautiful.
Brothels might despise her, but some wealthy old men or older businessmen were still willing to take Gu as a concubine because of her beauty.
Such a beautiful girl should be sold for at least thirty or fifty taels.
Alas, if it weren’t for the Zhaojiazhuang clan, the men of the Qian family would have wanted to sell out the Zhao Qingyun brothers as well.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Delusion is not enough to describe this wretched man!
Qian was arrested. What was the relationship between the victim she cheated and Gu? Gu Qingcheng was also a victim. She even had an IOU written by Qian herself!
However, the original owner is a top-notch one.
She can accomplish anything, no matter how absurd it is.
Gu Qingcheng even suspected that in the original plot, Gu, who was such a jerk who cheated his son, would probably do such a stupid thing as selling all his property to compensate the murderer even though he was the victim!
Unfortunately, the original owner is gone, and the one who replaced Gu’s is her, Gu Qingcheng.
"ah?"
Gu Qingcheng blinked her big eyes in confusion, "Is my cousin a liar?"
Skinny man: ...That's not the point! The point is, I'm threatening you! If you don't want to be sued by me and be slandered as a "partisan" by Qian, you should beg me!
Pay the money! Sell the house and the land!
Even selling myself to raise enough money to shut my mouth!
"Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Gu Qingcheng started to act like a child, "How could my cousin be such a good person, lying?"
"Oh! I see! My cousin regrets it!"
"Humph, she must have thought that the business was too profitable and didn't want to see me making a lot of money. She was jealous and couldn't bear to part with it, so she asked you to come to my house and make trouble!"
"I don't care! I've already invested money, so I want to collect dividends!"
Qian's husband and several unreasonable creditors were all stunned! They knew that Gu was confused and a fool who was easy to deceive.
But, why is her train of thought so strange? Doesn't she understand what others say? Licking his lips, Qian's husband thought that he might be able to speak more directly.
Zhao Qingyun walked out of the door, ready to help his mother clean up the mess. Seeing that his mother seemed to be living in her own world again and was making trouble, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
She was still the same confused and stupid mother, but at this moment Zhao Qingyun did not feel the slightest bit aggrieved or helpless. Instead, he felt inexplicably happy!
PS: It’s almost Chinese New Year, why don’t you give me some monthly tickets? (#^.^#)
