If you don't care about yourself, then you must care about your younger siblings, right?
Therefore, Gu Dekang sought a starting point in this matter.
This is because of Gu Sang; if it were anyone else, they would probably have been persuaded by Gu Dekang.
But Gu Sang was completely indifferent to all of this.
She couldn't help but chuckle at that moment.
"I must say, you are indeed a very clever person, knowing to target my siblings. But... I'm beyond saving, how can my siblings be? Do you think you can let them go? A family should be together. If I die, my family will go with me, wouldn't that be better?"
After speaking, Gu Sang frowned and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Alright, stop saying all this in front of me. I just want an answer. Whether you give it to me or not is up to you."
She was too lazy to argue with these people anymore.
Gu Sang knows the temperaments and personalities of the Gu family members.
Gu Sang was well aware of this, so there was no need to waste time with them.
She glanced at Zhang.
“This old man can’t be easily frightened. If you don’t make a decision for me, then it’s none of my business if he gets sick.”
This is clearly forcing Gu Dekang and the others!
What's most infuriating is that Gu Dekang knew all this perfectly well, yet dared not utter a single word.
He took a deep breath and turned to look at the first and second wives.
"Each of you, take out ten taels of silver."
He couldn't possibly leave his wife, whom he'd spent his whole life with, unsung.
However, Gu Dekang would never agree to pay for it himself, so he could only ask his son for it.
Upon hearing this, the second and third wives' faces immediately turned ugly!
Especially Gu Yinggui, he had thought of all this long ago, and he had told Gu Dekang about it before, but his father never took it seriously. Now that things have come to this, he wants to pay for it. Why should he?
"Father, you know perfectly well what kind of life the second wife's family is living. Where would they get ten taels of silver?"
"Father! We just took out ten taels, and now the main house has none left!"
When it comes to money, even close brothers must keep clear accounts.
Gu Dekang's face darkened instantly, and his gaze toward his two sons turned icy.
However, both Gu Yingfu and Gu Yinggui kept their heads down and refused to look at Gu Dekang.
Anyway, it's possible to get money out of them.
"Look, this is your son, this is your eldest son. When your life was in someone else's hands, they didn't care about you at all. Tsk tsk... How pitiful."
Gu Sang whispered and chuckled in Zhang's ear.
Wasn't Zhang proud of himself his whole life?
They doted on their eldest and second sons like their own lives, while trampling on their third son like weeds. And what was the result?
When it came to this most crucial and important moment, the first and second wives completely ignored her, their mother!
Zhang was already terrified with a knife to her neck, and now, after hearing Gu Sang's words, her heart was filled with nameless rage.
"I told you to give me money! Give me money to save me! How dare you resist! Have you all gone too far?!"
At this point, Zhang had completely forgotten about being threatened, and her eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at her two sons!
Gu Sang let out a chuckle.
Let them make a scene. After this incident, let's see how the third branch of the family can still treat each other like family as before!
Gu Yingfu and Gu Yinggui were scolded by Zhang Shi, and they felt bad. After all, those were their parents, but eleven taels of silver... that was definitely not a small amount.
"Mother, our main house is truly empty..."
"Mother, our second branch doesn't have any either."
Anyway, at this point, the first and second wives are sticking to the fact that they have no money, so what can you do about it?
Gu Dekang was disappointed in his two sons when he saw this scene.
"You still won't give me the money? Then I don't want it anymore, let's die together!"
Gu Sang went all out; not only that, but in that instant, her blade also sliced through the skin of Zhang's neck.
"Ah—ah—I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
Zhang felt the pain, and coupled with her pre-existing anxiety, she had no time to process what was happening. She screamed loudly, looking as if she were about to die.
"stop!"
Gu Dekang also spoke up as soon as he saw this scene.
"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"
How could he not feel sorry for his wife when he saw her like this?
He turned around hurriedly, and soon returned with twenty taels of silver, handing it to Gu Sang.
"This is twenty taels. Don't touch your breast, Da Ya. That's still your breast. You can't do this!"
Gu Sang glanced at the silver in Gu Dekang's hand, then called out to Li Shi. Li Shi hurriedly stepped forward and took the twenty taels of silver from Gu Dekang with trembling hands.
The next moment, Gu Sang pushed Zhang Shi out.
Snap.
"Ouch—I'm dead! I'm dead! Am I dead?!"
This old lady is indeed easily frightened; she looks like she's about to die of fright right now.
So at this moment, Zhang was pushed to the ground, still looking panicked and frantic.
Judging from their expressions, the first and second wives seemed to be plotting something.
The kitchen knife in Gu Sang's hand produced a beautiful knife flower.
"What? Trying to outmaneuver me from behind? Don't you even know if you have the guts? If you dare touch me right now, this cleaver in my hand won't be trusted by anyone!"
That one sentence stunned everyone, and they dared not make the slightest move.
Gu Sang snorted, then led Li Shi and her younger siblings away.
As soon as they left the Gu family's residence, they saw Li Rong standing outside the gate. Upon seeing them come out, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Sang blinked, and after a long while, she smiled slightly.
"fine."
She knew that Li Rong must have been very worried about them, but in Gu Sang's eyes, it wasn't a big deal.
Could a small family like the Gu family possibly cause them to turn the world upside down?
Li Rong nodded as well.
"Let's go back."
"Um."
There were some things that were better left unsaid, so Gu Sang nodded and then left with her entourage.
After Gu Sang and the others left, Li Rong thought for a moment, then turned around and went back to his own courtyard. He stood in the corner of the wall, listening to the sounds coming from the Gu family next door.
The Gu family suffered such a huge loss, how could they possibly tolerate it?
So the next second, the courtyard was filled with all sorts of curses and insults directed at the third branch of the family.
