Chapter 80: Taking advantage of the situation to wake up.
Chapter 80
Everyone was afraid of the whip in his hand and couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
"You really deserve to be punished. If you want to live here, pay up. If you don't have money, get out of here!"
An officer nearby was also coughing a little, and in order to change his wet clothes as soon as possible, he began to urge them impatiently.
Seeing this, the second sister-in-law carefully took out her purse from her arms, took out four taels of silver, and came up to Old Madam Gu and whispered.
"Mom, there are six people in our family. My third sister-in-law's family has five adults and one child. I want a large bunk bed and a double room. I want my third sister-in-law's father, my eldest brother, and my sixth brother to live in the double room, and all of us women can just make do with the large bunk bed. What do you think?"
The Chen family was standing nearby. When Zou Yu heard that her daughter's sister-in-law was so reasonable, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"That's not right. We've already taken up a lot of attention by following our in-laws. They can live anywhere, and it's a waste of money to live in a double room."
"Second sister-in-law..."
Third sister-in-law Chen Wan'er also knew that her family was now penniless, and that Ran Qingxuan had always been the one taking care of their food and drink on the road. Now that second sister-in-law had taken out three taels of silver to buy them a room to live in, she felt really bad about it.
The second sister-in-law patted the back of Chen Wan'er's hand and comforted her: "As a family, we won't say anything sentimental. The most important thing is to get through the difficulties at hand."
Chen Chengping and Chen Zhao were not the kind of people who were pretentious. They immediately said, "It's fine for the two of us to live in the carport. When we went to various places to survey the fields, we usually slept wherever we walked. We're used to it."
The Chen family insisted on not having a room for two people, and Mrs. Gu had no choice but to compromise.
"Then my mother-in-law will bring Yue'er and Sun to live with us. Yan Chen is injured, so let Ran live with him in a double room so that there will be someone to take care of him at night."
After the few people discussed it, the second sister-in-law handed the silver in her hand to Qian Zheng.
Ran Qingxuan originally didn't want to live in a double room. After all, there were sleeping mats on the floor in the space, so they could live together if they could. In case of any danger at night, she and Gu Yanchen could quickly get up to protect them.
But I didn't expect that my second sister-in-law acted so quickly. She had already thought about the matter and done it.
Old Madam Gu had no objection to this, and Ran Qingxuan didn't know what to say.
Qian Zheng weighed the money in his hand and looked at the remaining companies.
"Have you thought it through? I don't have time to waste with you guys."
They are not stupid. Who would want to stay in a carport in such cold weather? Apart from having a roof and being windy on all sides, what's the difference between that and sleeping in the wild?
But they had no money on them, and the police did not want to pay attention to their pleas for mercy and directly drove them towards the carport.
The Xiao family would be lying if they said they were not envious of the Chen family who could actually live in the same dormitory with the Gu family. They also knew that the Chen family had a daughter who was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and that they were willing to give money to help, so it was not their turn to benefit from it.
Although their Xiao family had helped the Gu family, the family also reported it on the spot, and the white steamed buns had already been eaten.
Mrs. Xiao wanted to go over and borrow some money, but because Xiao Hongyi was unwilling to take the initiative to resolve the conflict, she couldn't open her mouth at all.
Ran Qingxuan was so smart that she saw the conflicted expressions on Mrs. Xiao Li Ping's faces when she looked at Xiao Hongyi and then at the Gu family.
Maybe it’s just the finishing touch?
When Ran Qingxuan passed by the Xiao family, she quietly stuffed two taels of silver into Li Ping's hand. The latter was stunned and did not say anything, but just gave her a grateful look.
Now not only the Gu family and the Chen family, but even the Xiao family have a place to live.
The Shang family, especially Shang Bin, looked very unhappy. When they thought about how they couldn't even afford one or two taels of silver to stay in the hotel, they hated the Gu family so much.
The wounds on Li Si's body were so painful that she could not bear it, but no matter how painful it was, it was not as painful as the pain in her heart.
When she thought about how her parents would rather take the seriously injured Li Yuan with them than take her with them, she wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
He looked towards the Gu family with vicious eyes, then looked at the group of people who could live in the room, and even began to hate those people.
Qian Zheng took the money and quickly allocated the rooms. Except for the room where Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan lived, the remaining two rooms upstairs were taken away by the officials.
Chen Zhao helped carry Gu Yanchen upstairs, and Ran Qingxuan followed silently behind, thinking that she might have to sleep on the floor at night. After all, she was not mentally prepared to sleep in the same bed with Gu Yanchen.
"Go to hell..."
A sharp roar suddenly rang out. When Ran Qingxuan quickly looked up to see what was going on, he saw the injured Li Si rushing towards Chen Zhao.
The women of the Gu family screamed in surprise and saw Gu Yanchen on Chen Zhao's back being thrown out.
Ran Qingxuan subconsciously rushed forward, and before he could make any move, he shouted in a low voice: "Don't move."
Holding Gu Yanchen in his arms, Ran Qingxuan hugged his upper body as tightly as possible, staggered a few steps, and then fell to the ground together.
"Sixth brother's wife..."
"Ran..."
The Gu family rushed forward to check. After standing firm, Chen Zhao was furious and stretched out his hand to press Li Si, who was trying to rush up, to the ground.
"How can you, a woman, be so vicious?"
The officers also saw Li Si's crazy behavior. They were already furious because of Li Xinyuan's escape, and now seeing her so restless, they seemed to have found an outlet to vent their anger, and they went up to Li Si and started punching and kicking her.
Bu Wei asked symbolically because Ran Qingxuan had helped him before. When he was about to go forward to check, he heard Gu Yanchen groaning on the ground.
Bu Wei quickly stepped forward and saw that Gu Yanchen, who had been unconscious, had 'slowly woken up'. He thought that the fall had actually woken him up.
Ran Qingxuan didn't know why Gu Yanchen woke up now, so he reacted quickly and pretended to be surprised.
"Mother, look, my husband is awake!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu and the other women in the Gu family all had overjoyed expressions on their faces, and the concern in their eyes did not seem fake to outsiders.
This scene successfully deceived the people who gathered around. Whether they were concerned or curious, they all believed that Gu Yanchen woke up because of the pain from falling to the ground.
"Water, bring some water quickly!" Ran Qingxuan knew that he had to play the whole game. After someone who had been unconscious for so long wakes up, the first thing he would do is feel thirsty!
Chen Chengping took the water bag, and Ran Qingxuan carefully put it to his mouth. Gu Yanchen pretended to be weak, raised his head slightly with effort, and drank two sips of water from the water bag at his mouth.
Bu Wei knew that it was not easy for this family to bring people here. Seeing Gu Yanchen wake up, he kindly reminded him, "He just woke up, drink a little water to moisten his throat. Ask the store to make some rice porridge for him later."
Although his words were caring, Bu Wei's attitude was as stiff as ever.
The Gu family did not care about his attitude. Instead, they were very grateful for his reminder and said they would talk about it after the person got better.
Although Gu Yanchen woke up, he was still a seriously injured patient in the eyes of outsiders. This time, Chen Zhao carried him steadily and walked towards the double room upstairs.
Bu Wei said nothing when he saw this, but ordered other officers to keep an eye on the other prisoners.
