"Well, in that case, I'll head back now. I'll come see you again tomorrow," Gu Sang said with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Madam Li nodded.
After Gu Sang left, the Gu family members sat in the courtyard, discussing Gu Sang with worried expressions.
With Gu Sang around, the Gu family can't touch the three branches of the family for even a day, and they can hardly protect themselves.
After all, this girl really hates them.
"Sigh, I wonder what she'll do to the Gu family!" Madam Yang sighed, feeling utterly helpless.
“That’s right, our family hasn’t done anything bad in the past few years, so why does she hate us so much!” Gu Yingfu said, pursing his lips.
"That's right! We're all part of the same family, how could she be so heartless! She's driving us to our deaths." Zhang said resentfully, as she was also one of the people who had been most severely wronged by Gu Sang.
Of course, this is also his own fault.
“That’s right, that’s right…” Yang echoed.
"That girl is truly ruthless..."
Gu Dekang sat in the main seat, pretending to doze off with his eyes closed, listening to the conversation, his face not looking good at all.
He was aware of his current situation, but... he could no longer deal with this grown-up girl.
......
As everyone started talking at once, their expressions turned quite grim.
After leaving the Li family's house, Gu Sang walked alone towards the town.
She was going to find the caravan in town, and then go to the south of the city to sell the grain.
If they sell well, then their family will be able to buy back all that land.
If sales are poor, she can exchange the silver notes for copper coins from those people. These are all the silver that Gu Sang needs to spend.
The Gu family has been busy these days as well.
All of the Gu family's land has been leased out by Gu Sang.
Besides growing rice, all that's left of her family's estate are vegetable gardens, pigsties, and some land.
Although they are all land, the Gu family's land is very fertile.
Those crops, although not as plentiful as the vegetables the Gu family had.
However, it is still quite expensive.
If they could sell that land, their family could live a very good life.
The Gu family's current standard of living is far worse than before, and she doesn't want her younger siblings to suffer from hunger and fear like she did.
When Gu Sang arrived in the town, she happened to see a horse-drawn carriage parked on the side of the street.
Those people were all men, and they were wearing armor; they were clearly not good people.
The carriage curtain was lifted slightly, revealing a pair of long, slender, jade-like feet.
The footstep on the bluestone slab produced a crisp and pleasant sound.
Gu Sang looked up and saw that it was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in red, which made her even more beautiful and charming.
The girl was also extremely beautiful, with a graceful figure and a charming and lovely face.
However, her face showed a hint of coldness and impatience.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Gu Sang standing in front of her carriage. Instantly, her exquisitely beautiful face turned ferocious.
Gu Sang recognized the person at a glance; it was the girl she had just met at the village entrance.
"Hehe... This person must be the little bitch from the Gu family!" The girl looked at Gu Sang provocatively and mocked contemptuously.
Gu Sang narrowed her eyes slightly, ignoring the girl.
"Hey, you bitch, how dare you ignore me? Let me tell you, I'm the magistrate's wife's cousin, and my father is the county magistrate! If you piss me off, I'll have my father charge you with contempt of official business, and you won't even know how you died!" The girl jumped up in anger when Gu Sang ignored her and roared at her.
Gu Sang still ignored her and turned to continue walking forward.
"You!" The girl was furious upon seeing this.
She stomped her foot and shouted angrily at Gu Sang's retreating figure, "Stop!"
Then, she quickly caught up with Gu Sang and blocked his way.
"Are you deaf? I told you to stop!" the girl shouted angrily, pointing her finger at Gu Sang's nose.
"This is a town, please don't make a noise, young lady."
Gu Sang frowned and said indifferently.
"Ha!" the girl scoffed. "You still know this is a town? Do you know whose territory this is? This is my territory!"
"Really? I really didn't know that! Since she's the magistrate's wife's cousin, she's a young lady of the magistrate's family. Everything here is decided by the magistrate."
"If the county magistrate says you're making a scene here and disturbing the townspeople, then you'll be fired. No one can protect you!" Gu Sang looked at the girl blocking her way, slowly curled her lips, and threatened her coldly.
"You...you...you bitch!" Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, the girl's chest heaved with anger. Her cheeks flushed red, and she reached out, raising her hand to slap Gu Sang across the face.
However, her arm was grabbed by a soft, warm hand.
Gu Sang grabbed the girl's wrist.
"You dare lay a hand on the magistrate's daughter?"
"Ah!" Gu Sang suddenly pushed hard, knocking the girl to the ground.
"Ouch! It hurts! My wrist is broken!" the girl screamed, clutching her wrist and wailing.
Gu Sang looked at her and snorted coldly, "Since you know pain, then don't do anything reckless! Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I'll do to you!"
Gu Sang sneered, released the girl, and strode forward.
"Ouch...that hurts!"
The girl collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
She had never been treated like this before. How dare this bitch bully her like this!
She couldn't swallow this insult, and she had to vent it.
Upon realizing this, the girl immediately struggled to her feet and quickly chased after Gu Sang.
At this moment, she noticed that Gu Sang had already entered the market, and she quickly followed after her.
However, she was stopped along the way and couldn't get close to Gu Sang at all.
"Oh my, isn't this Miss Gu from the Gu family! We meet again! I'm so happy!"
Just then, Gu Sang heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned around and saw that it was the girl, who was burning with anger.
"You bitch, so you were hiding here all along!"
The girl glared at Gu Sang and cursed.
Gu Sang turned her head, looked at the girl, then curled her lips and sneered.
"Hehe, what a coincidence!" Gu Sang said sarcastically. "However, it seems this world is really small, that the two of you can meet again."
"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, the girl's face immediately filled with pride and anger. "Do you think I want to meet you, you bitch, again?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang gave her a cold look.
