Chapter 184 Sending a Letter to Wangzhai Village
When Gu Tang arrived at Gu's house, her feet were covered in mud and felt very heavy. She was so tired that she was panting.
Stopping at the gate of Gu's courtyard, she lifted up her trouser legs and rubbed her feet against the door frame to wipe off all the mud on her feet.
After removing the mud from his feet, he suddenly felt lighter. He looked around at the Gu family whom he hadn't seen for several days. For some reason, he felt a little more desolate.
Gu Tang didn't call anyone, he went straight in and went all the way to the main room.
The door to the main room was open. I went in and looked around, but found no one in the room.
After coming out of the main room, she went to the east wing.
Mr. Gu, who has always been very proud, would not go out to visit people at this time. Since he is not in the main room, he must be in the east wing.
When he was about to reach the east wing, he ran into Gu Qing who was opening the door. At this moment, she was holding her stomach with her left hand, with a look of pain on her face.
Gu Tang raised his eyebrows. Is this diarrhea?
Gu Qing was startled when she saw Gu Tang coming over. Before she could say anything, her stomach started churning again. She grimaced in pain and was unable to utter a word. She could only glare at Gu Tang fiercely and tried to run to the backyard with her back bent.
Gu Tang was inexplicably glared at, and was unhappy. He blocked her way with malicious intent: "After all, you and I are cousins. If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it. Why don't you say a word and just glare at me? What do you mean by that?"
Gu Qing was about to suffocate, and was stopped by Gu Tang. His face turned green!
"Get out! Don't block the road!" She squeezed these words out from between her teeth. She wished she could tear Gu Tang to pieces.
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this. Once she said this, Gu Tang became even more excited. She deliberately opened her hands to block the road tightly.
"If you don't explain clearly, don't even think about leaving! Today I'll make you poop in your pants!"
Gu Qing was so angry that he was shaking all over and almost vomited blood. He turned his head and shouted to the room behind him: "Dad! Grandpa! The damn girl Si Ya came to our house to cause trouble! Hurry up and tie her up!"
Inside the room, Mr. Gu and Gu Liansheng, who heard this, opened the door quickly and saw Gu Tang as expected.
The father and son were already full of anger, and when Gu Tang came to their door, the father and son immediately rushed out in a rage.
Gu Qing took the opportunity to reach out and try to push Gu Tang, but Gu Tang suddenly dodged, leaving Gu Qing unprepared and unable to push, and he staggered forward a few steps.
Gu Tang imitated her and retaliated. He reached out and pushed the man to the ground, where he fell into a pile of mud and water!
"Ah!!! Si Ya!"
Gu Qing's face was grim, he struggled to get up and was about to beat Gu Tang.
But at this moment, her stomach, which had just calmed down, began to churn again. She turned pale with pain. She didn't even have time to go back to the house to change clothes, let alone struggle with Gu Tang. She ran to the backyard covered in mud and holding her stomach!
Gu Tang did not stop her this time. The father and son opposite had obviously remembered Gu Tang's cruelty because of Gu Qing's fall. They did not dare to approach her again. They just asked in disgust: "What are you doing here?!"
"Do you think I want to come?" Gu Tang rolled his eyes. "Tomorrow you just go to Bei'an City to pick someone up. The money has already been paid, so you don't have to pay. Don't get so scared when the money is mentioned! It's not presentable at all!"
The father and son looked at each other, very suspicious of what he said: "You didn't say that to your father before, and now you've changed your words, are you sizing us up so you can fool us?"
"Believe it or not! You guys don't care about the old lady anyway. Maybe you just don't want to take her back, but you're afraid of being criticized by outsiders, so you're talking about whoever sent her away should take her back."
"Bullshit!" Gu Liansheng was easily provoked when facing Gu Tang.
With a gloomy face, he pointed at Gu Tang and cursed him, behaving rudely, without the decency and cultivation of a scholar.
"You and your father are the ones who really have bad intentions. You deliberately abandoned your grandma to Bei'an City alone! You and your daughter wanted your grandma to die outside!"
"You finally spoke out what was in your heart." Gu Tang sneered and directly exposed his face.
"The old lady is now paralyzed and can't move or serve anyone, so you and the old man are starting to dislike her. Earlier, you said you didn't have the money and couldn't take her in, but now I'm telling you that the money has been given, so you just have to go and take her in, but you're bringing up something else."
"How can I not understand what's on your mind? You just think the old lady is useless and want to find an excuse to abandon her in Bei'an City?"
"I'm telling you the truth. Even if you don't come home today, my father will come back to pick you up in two days. Anyway, our family has been adopted, and we won't raise you even if you bring him back. You don't want to take him back, right? Okay, I'll have my father personally send him back to you in two days."
After scolding the father and son, Gu Tang turned around and was about to leave.
Gu Liansheng was furious: "Stop! Who allowed you to leave!" As he said that, he was about to reach out to pull Gu Tang.
Old Master Gu held back his outstretched hand and signaled his son not to get angry.
Seeing that Gu Tang was about to reach the gate of the courtyard without stopping, the old man hurriedly called him to stop.
"You just said that you paid the money in advance, but I still don't really believe it. Since your father is not at home, you should go with him to pick up your grandma tomorrow. If it is true as you said, the money was paid in advance, then let it go. If not, you have to pay the bill!"
Gu Tang originally wanted to say no, but then she changed her mind and decided that since her father was not around, she could take this opportunity to go to Bei'an City and try to build momentum for Daoliuxiang.
When her father was around, some methods were difficult to use directly. Now that her father is gone, she can let go and do it on her own.
"Since you don't believe what I say, then tomorrow at the beginning of the morning, you can drive your ox cart to find me, and I will go with you."
After saying this, Gu Tang did not stay and left without looking back.
Gu Liansheng had been staring at Gu Tang's back viciously. When he walked away, he suddenly whispered in the old man's ear, "It's rare that this dead girl is alone in our hands. Dad! How about we tie her up and sell her tomorrow?"
Old Master Gu's eyelids twitched, and he looked at his son with a worried look on his face: "Si Ya went with us. If you sell her, how are you going to explain it to them when you come back?"
"Just say that there were too many people on the street and they got separated!"
"And then?"
"After that? After what?" Gu Liansheng looked impatient.
Old Master Gu was so exhausted that he tried his best to explain everything to him: "If you really do this, when the second brother comes back, he will beat you to death and report you to the police. Once we report you to the police, we may not be able to find you, but we will be able to find out the truth 80% of the time. Those traffickers will not keep secrets for us, and they will be the first to give you up!"
Gu Liansheng was not convinced by this and shouted, "Didn't you and mother discuss selling Si Ya before? If you can sell her, why can't I?"
"It wasn't done by us before!" Old Master Gu was so angry at his son's stupidity.
"Earlier, your mother and I wanted to use your sister's sister-in-law, Li, to get her in touch with the people behind the scenes. We didn't interfere in this matter. The people were kidnapped by the traffickers. If we didn't get involved, no one could blame us!"
It's just that the money from selling your body is 10% less.
But for the sake of safety, a little less is better.
"So we're still letting Li do the talking this time? Let her find a way to kidnap the person!"
Old Master Gu waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. Li has never had the chance to meet Si Ya. I don't know what she looks like. Is it worth taking the risk?
Having said that, even if Li could see Si Ya tomorrow, she would not kidnap her tomorrow. She would have to find a good opportunity to do it. ”
"I'll spend some copper coins to ask someone to send a letter to my younger sister at Wang's house, asking her to arrange an appointment with Li to go to Bei'an City together tomorrow. We'll then find a way for her to meet Si Ya. With Si Ya's looks, I guarantee that Li will be able to fall in love with her at first sight! As long as she falls in love with her, there's no need to worry about the human traffickers not taking action!"
Gu Liansheng was so angry that he was willing to spend a lot of money to hire someone to deliver the letter in order to sell Gu Tang and vent his anger.
Old Master Gu had long intended to sell Gu Tang, but later he and his wife both fell ill and no one took care of the matter, so it remained on hold.
Now that he is feeling better and his son's dizziness has improved a lot, he can give it another try.
Just like my son said, with Si Ya's looks, I'm sure Li will like her, and the price he'll offer won't be low.
"Okay, then go and write the letter, and spend the money to ask someone to deliver it to your little sister."
With the old man's support, Gu Liansheng felt better. He hurried back to the house to write a letter, took out five copper coins, and then left the house to find someone to deliver the letter.
Gu Liansheng was not very popular in the village. When he walked out of the house, he looked around at a loss, not knowing who to find to deliver the letter.
There is no one in the whole village who has any contact with him.
After going through the familiar people nearby one by one in his mind, Gu Liansheng finally chose Li Shunzi.
The first reason was that Li Shunzi was greedy for money, and the second reason was that the Li family had an ox cart, which made it convenient to go back and forth. The most important thing is that they will need to borrow Li’s ox cart when they go to Bei’an City tomorrow, so they have to inform people in advance.
But he had never had any contact with Li Shunzi, and usually only interacted with the second brother's family. He didn't know if he could persuade anyone if he went there.
However, Li Shunzi's parents are familiar with his father, so he can ask his father to invite people.
Thinking of this, Gu Liansheng went back home and told his grandfather about the matter, hoping that he would go and invite someone in person.
When Mr. Gu heard about this, he didn't refuse. He took the letter from his son and went to the Li family.
There was money to be made, so the Li family didn't say a word of refusal. Li Shunzi quickly drove the ox cart to Wangzhai Village.
Seeing Li Shunzi driving to Wangzhai Village with his own eyes, Mr. Gu felt much better. He walked home with the help of a cane, feeling relaxed.
…
After returning home, Gu Tang told his third uncle and Gu Ping'an that he was going to Bei'an City with Grandpa Gu tomorrow, but was strongly opposed by the two.
"Your grandfather and your uncle are not kind to you. What good will it be for you to go with them alone? Don't they believe what you say? I'll go and tell them that they can either go by themselves, or wait for your father to come back and let your father lead them there. In short, you can't go with them!"
"My Lord is right. They hate you to the core! If they get the chance, they would kill you! If you follow them alone, what's the difference between that and a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? No! You can't go no matter what!"
Knowing that the grandfather and grandson were worried about him, Gu Tang patiently explained to them: "There is no ox cart over there, and the father and son don't know how to drive a cart. They will definitely ask the family in the village who has an ox cart to drive the ox cart to take them to Bei'an City.
There are only a few families in the village who have ox carts, and every family is familiar with my father. For this reason, they won't do anything to me. Furthermore, the father and son over there are very concerned about their reputation. Since there are outsiders around, they will only be nice to me on the surface and will not harm me openly. ”
Gu Tang was not talking nonsense, this was indeed the case.
For example, Mr. Gu doesn’t know how to drive a car, and my third uncle also knows this.
Since even Mr. Gu can't drive a car, let alone Gu Liansheng, who is a lazy person.
Therefore, if the father and son wanted to go to Bei'an City, they could only ask someone to help drive the car.
Since there are outsiders here, and they are from the same village, it is unlikely that the father and son would do anything.
However, even though this is the case, it is not a reason for Gu Tang to go!
"I'll go with them tomorrow!"
Gu Tang pointed to the east wing and said, "You can't be away from home. The man in the east wing is still sick. If you leave, believe it or not, he won't dare to drink a single sip of the medicine that Ping An and I prepared!"
Third Uncle suddenly had a headache, forgetting that there was another person lying in the east wing unable to move.
"Is it necessary to go?"
Gu Tang paused, hesitated for a while, and came close to his uncle and whispered something to him: "I'm not going there just for this matter. I bought a small courtyard in Bei'an City before, and I haven't visited it for a long time. Taking this opportunity, I want to sneak a look at the courtyard..."
Third Uncle took a deep breath and said, "Bought a yard?!"
"Yes, I bought it some time ago, but I haven't told anyone about it. Only my father, Ping An, and you know about it. No one else knows about it. Please don't let it slip!"
"Grandpa won't say it!" Third Uncle hasn't come back to his senses yet, and he is still sighing in his heart, this girl is really amazing! He even bought the yard without telling anyone!
"I will take good measurements of the house in the yard this time. I will renovate it in the spring of next year and leave it for Ping An to study and live in."
This is nonsense. The house in the yard has been fully furnished.
When Gu Ping'an heard this, he wanted to expose it, but was suppressed by Gu Tang's look. He pursed his lips and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Gu Tang continued to paint a big picture for his uncle: "When the time comes, you can move in and live with Ping An, and watch him study and write. I will also hire two maids to take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation. Think about it, think about it, is this a good idea?"
"It's quite beautiful..."
"Since it's beautiful, then let's make it a deal! I'll go back and pack my things, and we have to leave at the beginning of the morning tomorrow!"
After saying this, Gu Tang returned to the house happily without caring about his third uncle's reaction.
The Third Uncle finally came to his senses and realized that he had been fooled. He hurriedly shouted at the curtain dangling at the door: "Don't fool me! What you said is different from what I said!"
