Chapter Seventy-One Respect



Everyone else was watching the spectacle, and no one said a word.

Besides, isn't this their own family matter? If it's not handled fairly, then Gu Sang can speak up.

Anyway, Gu Sang didn't care about any of this.

When the eldest and third children saw the two people making a ruckus, they couldn't help but frown. Then they asked Gu Sanghao, "Big sister, don't they feel ashamed?"

Gu Sang was taken aback by his words, then chuckled. She glanced at Zhang Shi, who was still arguing, and after thinking for a moment, said, "They probably don't even feel that this is shameful."

After speaking, Gu Sang shook her head helplessly.

To be honest, this kind of thing doesn't really concern them much. Gu Sang doesn't care about it at all. So many things have turned out this way, so it doesn't really matter.

Especially since Gu Sang herself hadn't thought that much about it. In fact, most of the time she didn't want to get involved in these kinds of messy things, but unfortunately these messy things always ended up around her, which was really annoying.

"Remember this: no matter what happens, think twice before you act. Don't let others scheme against you, because if someone does scheme against us, we'll always be the ones who suffer. Do you understand?"

Gu Sang didn't really want to teach them much about this kind of thing, but she still needed to think things through carefully, otherwise it would be difficult to handle if something else happened.

Thinking of all this, Gu Sang shook her head helplessly and then said, "Just wait and see."

Since they had to handle this matter anyway, Gu Sang didn't want to worry about it too much, no matter what.

Meanwhile, Zhang was screaming and yelling, saying how heartless Gu Dekang was, and then she burst into tears, as if she were going crazy.

The entire yamen was filled with Zhang's loud wailing.

It's enough to give anyone a headache.

Bang!

Mighty!

Even the county magistrate couldn't hold back at this moment. He slammed his gavel down hard and glared at them with icy eyes.

"This is a courtroom, not your backyard!"

Zhang dared not cry anymore, but she was still resentful and bitter in her heart, and she looked as if she wanted to devour someone.

The county magistrate also gave a cold snort.

"Tell me, did you steal the silver or not!"

"No……"

Even now, Zhang still stubbornly insists that she didn't do it.

The county magistrate was too lazy to investigate further and simply ordered his constables to search him.

No one could stop them; the constables stepped forward and directly searched Zhang's sleeves, finding the silver inside.

It splashed.

Zhang Shi really doesn't refuse anyone, whether it's loose silver or copper coins, he just slowly accepted them all.

It's so heavy, I really don't know how this person managed to hide it for so long!

It's truly astonishing!

At this moment, Gu Sang also stepped forward.

"Sir, these are the account books of my restaurant, as well as the remaining silver in the money box. Please take a look."

After she finished speaking, Gu Sang took a step back.

You see, we won't wrong anyone, but we also won't tolerate others bullying her. That's the most upright thing about Gu Sang.

After seeing Gu Sang's preparations, the county magistrate was taken aback. After a long while, he had to admit that Gu Sang was truly remarkable.

You know, this girl has caused so much trouble, but no matter what happened, it doesn't make people think too much about it. Most importantly, this girl herself didn't think that much about it.

Moreover, by doing this, they avoid giving anyone any leverage against them, something that no amount of flattery can change.

Thinking of all this, the county magistrate couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then looked at Zhang.

"Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, do you have anything else to say?"

"That's my money! That's mine!"

Now that the silver had been discovered, Zhang went berserk, shouting as if she had gone mad. Pointing at Gu Sang, she yelled, "That's a daughter of the Gu family! Does that mean the silver isn't ours? How can that be right?"

Zhang knew very well that no matter what happened, as long as it involved family matters, the magistrate wouldn't be able to say anything.

Moreover, Zhang believed that he was right. This was originally their family matter, so why should others have to handle it?

Why should we let others point fingers at us?

You have to understand, this situation has escalated to this point, which is completely wrong!

Gu Sang blinked upon hearing this.

Look, if you say Zhang Shi is stupid, she can still be clever for a moment, but if you say she's smart, Zhang Shi can be really stupid at times.

When people talk about things like this, it really leaves you speechless.

After hearing Zhang's words, the other members of the Gu family immediately understood what she meant and all looked at the magistrate.

"Sir, you're right. We...we're just having a family matter..."

"Who's talking about your family matters?"

When Gu Sang saw that the county magistrate was slightly embarrassed, she simply chuckled and then said, "Since you're shameless, can you at least not drag others into this? You dare to talk to me about family matters here? Then I'd like to ask you, what exactly are your so-called family matters?"

How interesting. How could Gu Sang let them scheme against her so easily?

How could we possibly let them get rid of this matter so easily?

Household chores, is that it?

Alright, since it's a household matter, then Gu Sang won't hold back.

But now, we still need to find out exactly what they're thinking.

Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, the members of the Gu family turned around and glared fiercely at her.

"Da Ya, don't push your luck. We've already agreed that we're family. If you dare to talk nonsense again..."

"If I keep talking nonsense, are you going to bury me alive again?"

Gu Sang said those words without any regard for the consequences.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Gu family members immediately turned pale.

Gu Yingfu, who had just been threatening Gu Sang, stared wide-eyed at Gu Sang in shock.

"You...you..."

The magistrate immediately sensed something was wrong upon hearing this.

"Wait a minute, what exactly is going on? Is there anything I don't know? What does 'buried alive' mean? Who was buried alive? You, young manager?"

Capable people are respected wherever they go.
