But her character did not collapse. Not only her own son, but even Mrs. Cui, who had only met her once, believed that she was a stupid and silly child!
Such a stupid and sickly beauty has already been deceived, how could she possibly deceive others?
Mrs. Cui had a great liking for Gu Qingcheng. Seeing that her face was pale and her body was shaking, she sent someone to drive a carriage to take her back to Zhaojiazhuang.
"Remember, you must send Madam Gu home safely."
Mrs. Cui instructed her to hire a maid.
She caught a glimpse of the innocent-looking Lady Gu from the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help but whisper to the maid, "If you see Lady Gu's eldest son, tell her what happened today!"
Gu's mother is stupid, but her son seems to be very smart.
It's good that he is smart. As long as he knows what his mother says and does, he will know the seriousness of it and find ways to dissuade her.
Zhao Qingyun:...Haha, you think too highly of me!
If I could persuade my mother, I wouldn't have to worry about her all the time and clean up her messes.
"Yes! This old slave saves it!"
The old woman agreed, but she was very disapproving in her heart: Isn't it just sending someone home? It's only about twenty miles away. What's so difficult about that?
Soon, the old woman was slapped in the face.
Sending Gu home is not an easy task.
"Oh, that person is so pitiful. His child is sick and he has no money to see a doctor, but he actually wants to sell all his ancestral knives!"
Gu Qingcheng was leaning on the carriage window when she saw a middle-aged man "selling knives" on the street. She couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Upon hearing this, the old woman followed Gu Qingcheng's gaze.
What a charlatan!
The old woman prided herself on being knowledgeable and well-informed, and was well aware of the scams in the market.
She subconsciously curled her lips and persuaded Gu Qingcheng in a condescending tone: "Madam Gu, you are just a swindler in the market."
It's an ancestral knife, haha, a big knife blade, and the blade isn't even sharpened, it can only fool an ignorant country woman like Gu.
"Swindler? I don't think he is. Who would curse their own child to be sick just for money?"
Gu Qingcheng opened her big, clear and innocent eyes with a look of disbelief.
The old woman was choked. She actually wanted to say that those swindlers, for the sake of money, would not only curse but even commit self-harm!
However, when her eyes met Gu Qingcheng's clear and beautiful eyes, she was slightly touched.
Forget it, why should she bother with a silly little woman?
"Madam Gu, it's getting late. Let's hurry on."
The usually powerful old woman also showed a bit more tenderness when faced with the attack of her beauty.
She did not refute Gu, nor did she continue to despise her as a fool, but changed the subject.
Gu Qingcheng was very persistent, "But he's so pitiful! If no one buys his knife, will his child die of illness?"
Gu Qingcheng twisted the handkerchief, and a look of determination flashed across her beautiful little face.
"Stop the car! I want to get out!"
The old woman stretched out Erkang's hand, but still did not hold the slender figure.
Gu Qingcheng was weak and had difficulty getting in and out of the carriage.
But she still gritted her teeth and got out of the car, breathing slightly hard and coming to the middle-aged man with despair in his eyes.
"How much is this knife?"
Gu Qingcheng's breathing was unstable and her voice was a little weak, but to the man's ears, it sounded like the sound of nature.
The middle-aged man blurted out the price, "Five taels of silver!"
As he spoke, he turned around and saw Gu Qingcheng wearing plain white mourning clothes, looking delicate and weak.
She was a widow, and a young widow in poor health.
The middle-aged man felt a little bit reluctant for a moment.
I am indeed not a liar, but five taels of silver is indeed not a small amount.
Judging from the way this woman is dressed, she doesn't look like a wealthy woman.
For ordinary people, five taels of silver is almost enough for half a year or even a year's expenses.
Some families may not be able to save five taels of silver in their entire lives.
However, he needed at least five taels of silver to treat his son.
The ginseng in the prescription is too expensive!
A middle-aged man who lost his husband when he was young and his wife when he was young does not want to lose his son in middle age.
His son is his life. For his son, he sold all his family property and now even took out the ancestral knife!
cocoa--
Seeing Gu Qingcheng's beautiful and innocent face, the middle-aged man really couldn't bear to do it.
"Five taels? Don't you need to take your son to see a doctor? Five taels shouldn't be enough."
Gu Qingcheng saw the struggle in the middle-aged man's eyes and thought to herself: I was right, this man is indeed a righteous and reliable person.
Since this is the case, we should not be stingy.
She took out two silver ingots from the bag in her arms and said, "I used all my money to do business. These are all I have left. Take them."
One silver ingot weighs five taels, so two weigh ten taels.
The old woman witnessed this scene and was dumbfounded: the swindler originally only wanted to cheat five taels, but this Madam Gu directly gave ten taels!
