Chapter 102 Shameless Proposal
Feng's heart skipped a beat and she was at a loss for words. She subconsciously looked at her husband.
Old Master Gu's face turned dark blue. Not to mention his third brother, even Zhang would not agree.
As expected, just as Gu Tang finished his words, Zhang started to yell, "Why should I bear all the responsibility? I didn't steal the silver by myself, and I didn't spend it by myself!
In order to get out of this, I even signed a confession. Now you want to get Wei out? Okay! Then bring me thirty-four taels of silver right now! I will take all the blame for stealing the silver!"
After hearing what Zhang said, Feng was about to go up and beat her, but was stopped by Gu Tang: "Grandma, someone is coming from outside! If you make a scene now, the whole village will know about it in less than half a day!"
The hand that Feng stretched out trembled, and she looked outside the yard with a look of panic. As expected, she saw someone. It was Shunzi from the Li family who was driving a ox cart over.
Before anyone entered the yard, Gu Tang sighed in a pretentious manner and whispered a few words deliberately to cause confusion.
"There's no other way to get my mother to sign a confession. With this, we can live in peace in the future, and my mother can no longer use my aunt's theft of silver to make trouble.
If this weren't the case, if I were my mother, I would go to her house every day and threaten her for money, and if she didn't give it to me, I would sue her in the government!
I've been divorced, so I might as well throw it all away! As the old saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of those wearing shoes, and those who care about reputation cannot beat those who don't. As long as I'm willing to take risks, I can drag my uncle's family down with me, and I'll win even if I die!"
The surroundings became quiet.
Although Gu Tang said this in a low voice and deliberately lowered her voice, the Gu family and Zhang, who were not far from her, still heard it.
Zhang lowered her head and hugged her son, looking thoughtful.
Feng didn't understand the real intention of Gu Tang's words, she only understood the superficial meaning, and glared at Zhang with an unfriendly look.
Gu Liansheng didn't understand either, and was a little confused after hearing this.
If that's the case, then Zhang signing the confession is a good thing?
A confession letter held their eldest wife hostage, but also held Zhang hostage?
is that so?
Gu Liansheng's eyes were blank.
Apart from Zhang, the only ones who could understand what Gu Tang meant by this were Old Man Gu and Gu Lianshan.
Old Master Gu's eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake. He did not dare to look at Gu Tang, but only lowered his eyes to look at the cane in his hand.
I knew this girl had a vicious heart, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious. She won't stop until she breaks up the family!
Gu Lianshan glanced at the stupid look of his elder brother and curled his lips in disdain. With such a brain, his father actually expected his elder brother to pass the imperial examination?
I wouldn't even dream of doing this!
"Brother Lianshan, I heard from your family Lai'an that you want to send someone off in a ox cart?" Li Shunzi parked the ox cart outside the yard, pushed open the gate and walked in.
Jiang asked with a smile, his eyes immediately drawn to a pile of ashes in the yard.
He pointed at the ashes in surprise and said, "What's going on? Burning something in the yard?"
The Gu family members all looked at Gu Tang.
Gu Tang blinked and started to talk nonsense: "My grandma wanted to dig a vegetable cellar in the yard, but it was so cold and the ground was frozen that she couldn't dig it. She had to put firewood on the ground and burn it for a while to thaw the ground so that she could dig the vegetable cellar later."
"Is that so?" Li Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief. "I was wondering why something suddenly started burning in such a peaceful yard."
After he finished speaking, he said to Feng: "You are the same as my grandmother. Two years ago, my grandmother also had the same fever."
Feng forced a smile with a stiff face and nodded, acknowledging that she accepted Gu Tang's nonsense.
Gu Lianshan didn't dare to let Shunzi stay any longer, so he urged Zhang: "Since Shunzi is here, get in the car quickly."
After saying this, he picked up Lin Lang and put him on the ox cart without caring about Zhang's reaction.
Zhang couldn't stand Gu Lianshan treating her son so disrespectfully, and she was so angry that she wanted to curse. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lin Yue whispered a reminder to her and brought her back to her senses.
Unable to vent her anger, Zhang got on the ox cart with a sullen face and without saying a word.
Lin Yue fell last and was very dissatisfied, but thinking that her mother would have to pay for her arm treatment later, she had to hold back and not show it.
Li Shunzi was a man with good eyesight. He knew that the boy and girl lying in the car were the brother and sister of the Lin family that were rumored in the village.
Looking at Zhang's face covered with fingernail marks and slap marks, and remembering that Feng looked like this just now, Shunzi secretly exclaimed in his heart, Wow!
Could it be that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started fighting? !
Think about it, everyone in the village says that Feng is a bad person, and Zhang is not an easy person to deal with either, so it is not impossible that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will fight.
As for the cause, it was probably the Lin brothers and sisters in the car.
Look at this brother and sister, one is lying down with eyes closed and groaning, the other is covering his left arm with his right hand, and each one looks uglier than the other. Did they get beaten too?
Wow! What a show!
Li Shunzi secretly clicked his tongue, but he dared not look at her any more, nor say a word, and drove the ox cart out of the village.
After seeing them off, Gu Lianshan breathed a sigh of relief, and he could finally have some peace and quiet from then on.
Gu Tang glanced at her father, it was too early to relax.
When the father and daughter closed the gate and entered the yard, the two elders of the Gu family and Gu Liansheng were still standing there and had not returned to the house.
Gu Tang planned to let her father take care of it while she went back to the west wing to talk to her third uncle.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to turn around, Gu Liansheng suddenly called out to her, "Si Ya, I've thought about it, and what you just said is right, but not entirely right. If you don't pursue this matter any further, just pretend it never happened, tear up the confession and let it go, your mother shouldn't come to bother you."
Hearing her son say this, Feng's eyes lit up and she agreed repeatedly: "Your uncle is right! Just pretend that this matter never happened and don't pursue it. Your mother will definitely not come back to bother you again!"
"It's hard to say for sure. You have to discuss this with my mother. What if I tear up the confession letter and she comes back to ask my uncle for the money?
One of the Lin brothers and sisters has had his arm broken by me, and the other has been beaten so hard that he can’t stand up. I’m afraid the money for medicine alone will be quite a lot! If my mother knew that the confession letter was gone, she would definitely come back to ask for the money!"
"If she comes back to ask for money, you will give it to her on behalf of your uncle!" Feng shamelessly made such a suggestion.
Gu Tang was not angry: "If you give it to me the first time, you will give it to me the second time. Besides, my mother probably hates my aunt so much that even if I give her the money, she will pester my uncle for more.
After all, the Lin family is a bottomless pit. The old ones are sick, and the young ones still need to go to school. With this leverage, they will definitely try their best to get money!"
The mother and son looked at each other in bewilderment. These words did not fool them. Given the situation of the Lin family, Zhang had finally got the leverage over them, so she would take as much as she could.
She has nothing now. She is not afraid of those who wear shoes when she is barefoot. She is not afraid of seeing the officials, but the Gu family is afraid!
"One more thing." Gu Tang pointed to the corridor of the west wing, and saw his third uncle coming out and standing there at some point.
"My uncle is a witness and knows the whole story. Tearing up the confession requires his consent, otherwise..."
