Chapter 187 This is such a rubbish!

Chapter 187 This is such a rubbish!

Old Master Gu took advantage of the fact that Li Shunzi would not look back while driving the car. He glared at Gu Tang viciously, then turned around and continued talking to Li Shunzi.

"Speaking of Ping An, he is indeed better than his father, but he spent more than 100 taels of silver just to get the position of auditor.

I originally wanted to use the silver to help you and your brother pass the imperial examinations. Ping An is still young, so we can wait a few more years. But who would have thought that they would spend the hundred taels of silver without authorization."

"More than one hundred taels of silver!!!"

Li Shunzi screamed, stopped the ox cart quickly, turned around and stared at Mr. Gu in shock.

"Uncle Jin! Are you sure? More than a hundred taels of silver?! My brother Lianshan has more than a hundred taels of silver?!"

"There were some before, but now they are gone. Your brother Lianshan spent all of them to buy Ping An a status as an auditor."

"How stupid!" Li Shunzi was heartbroken, as if he was spending his own money, and he was sobbing with pain.

"Uncle Jin! You are too bad-tempered! If this happened in my house, and I dared to pay more than 100 taels of silver to buy a seat in the court, my mother would chase me for two miles with a knife!"

Old Master Gu pretended to sigh, "The second son has alienated me, your uncle, and never consulted me on anything. Plus... your niece has been instigating things behind the scenes. I didn't know until the money was all spent."

Speaking of Gu Tang, Old Man Gu deliberately glanced at her secretly a few times, but he saw that she had a sarcastic look on her face and there was no fear on her little face, which made Old Man Gu's anger rise continuously!

Hearing that this matter was related to Gu Tang, Li Shunzi glared at Gu Tang with great dissatisfaction: "Tell me, as a girl, why do you like to stir up trouble so much? Earlier, you instigated your father to divorce your mother.

Now, you have persuaded your father to spend all the more than 100 taels of silver just for that audit. Look at what you have done. Even the most capable troublemaker in the village cannot compare to you!"

Gu Tang looked at him as if he were a fool. "It's rare to find someone as stupid as you! He said my father spent more than 100 taels of silver, and I said he spent more than 200 taels of silver! Who wouldn't say something that he can just say?"

"How can you talk like that, kid? You have no respect for elders!" Li Shunzi's face turned red, feeling humiliated by the junior.

Gu Tang didn't indulge him at all: "What kind of elder are you? You believe everything you hear. My father is a farmer who has no skills and no business. Where can he get more than 100 taels of silver? Even if he goes to borrow money at interest, no one will lend him more than 100 taels of silver!"

These words helped Li Shunzi regain some sanity.

Yes, no matter how capable Gu Lianshan is, he is just a farmer. He has no skills and no way to make a living. Where can he get more than one hundred taels of silver?

After scolding Li Shunzi, Old Master Gu Tang did not let him go. "You are buried in the ground, can you do something good and accumulate some good karma? You said more than a hundred taels of silver. If you said less, like ten or eight taels, maybe people would believe you. More than a hundred taels of silver? If my father had more than a hundred taels of silver, would our family still live in the village?"

Old Master Gu was so angry. This damn girl was making a fuss and trying to deceive people, as if what she said was true.

In desperation, Mr. Gu had to tell Gu Tang about the time he caught a live deer, and said that the more than one hundred taels of silver were exchanged for that live deer.

Originally, I thought that after this matter was made known, Li Shunzi would believe it. Unexpectedly, Li Shunzi became more suspicious of what Grandpa Gu said and began to believe what Gu Tang had just said, that Gu Lianshan did not have more than one hundred taels of silver, and that this matter was all a lie by Grandpa Gu.

The reason was simple. Li Shunzi looked down on women. He didn't believe that women could be stronger than men, and he didn't believe that a little girl could catch a deer alive.

Seeing Li Shunzi's suspicion, Gu Tang took the opportunity to deny the live deer: "You open your mouth and put it on my head. You say it with peace of mind, but I don't feel at ease when I hear it. Don't talk about this anymore in the future. If it gets out, everyone will laugh at you for bragging!"

"That's right, Uncle Jin. Some things can't be said casually. Outsiders will laugh at you if they hear them." Li Shunzi turned around and continued to drive the car, feeling unhappy.

It’s hard to tell whether it was disappointment or something else, but when he heard that Gu Lianshan had more than one hundred taels of silver, he was envious and jealous!

When he heard that more than one hundred taels of silver had been spent, he felt relieved, happy and distressed at the same time.

But when he found out thoroughly that it was just Mr. Gu's nonsense, he felt bad.

More than one hundred taels of silver... He normally wouldn't even dare to think about it!

Seeing that his plan failed, Mr. Gu was so angry that his chest began to hurt again. He quickly calmed down, took out a bamboo tube as thick as a finger from his arms, poured out a pill from it and put it into his mouth.

Gu Tang looked at him coldly, then suddenly asked Old Man Gu with a low laugh, "Tell me, is my Uncle Shunzi interested in what you and the old lady did when you were young? If this gets out, it will attract much more attention than my father's more than one hundred taels of silver! From now on, your whole family will be famous!"

"You dare!" Old Master Gu turned around and glared at her with a ferocious look, as if he wanted to kill her right away!

Gu Liansheng's reaction was even more extreme. He reached out his hand again and tried to push Gu Tang out of the car. "You naughty girl! I'm going to kill you!"

This time, Gu Tang couldn't help but took out the multifunctional bayonet he had obtained when he signed in previously, and held it across his chest, waiting for Gu Liansheng to reach out his hand.

Gu Liansheng was very afraid of death. When he saw the knife, his face turned pale and he withdrew his hand immediately.

"How can you carry a knife?"

"To guard against you!" Gu Tang sneered, "Since I dare to go to Bei'an City with you, I have made sufficient preparations. It would be fine if we have no trouble along the way, but if something really happens, I am not afraid. After all, I am a girl. If I kill one, I will get my money's worth. If I kill two, I will make a profit!"

The father and son gasped and their scalps felt numb!

Looking at the knife, they all calmed down and no longer dared to plot against Gu Tang.

Gu Tang did not put the knife away, but kept holding it, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth between the father and son, the threat in his eyes was very obvious.

This look made the father and son extremely nervous, and their eyes kept moving east and west following the movement of the knife.

The two sides remained in a stalemate until the ox cart arrived at the gate of Bei'an City, and then Gu Tang put away the knife.

The father and son both breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously leaned towards the front of the car, trying to stay away from Gu Tang.

After entering the city, Li Shunzi turned around and asked, "Uncle, which inn is Aunt staying at?"

"It's called Qi Fu Inn, but I don't know exactly where it is. You'll have to ask your niece." Old Master Gu tried hard not to let Li Shunzi see his fear.

Gu Tang glanced at him, but without deliberately putting up a fight, he pointed to the street ahead and showed Li Shunzi the way: "Go straight along this street, and you'll be there in a while."

After the ox cart had gone straight for a while, Gu Tang asked Li Shunzi to stop to the west and told him that they were going to Qi Fu Inn.

Li Shunzi was illiterate. After stopping the cart, he looked at the door of the inn and gasped, "This inn is not cheap!"

In fact, this inn is not a good inn, but in the eyes of Li Shunzi, who has never stayed in an inn, it is much better than his three adobe and thatched houses!

When Mr. Gu was young, he had stayed in the inn several times because of his affair with Feng, but he never stayed there again after he got married.

Gu Liansheng often stayed there. He always stayed at the inn every year. Later, he got tired of the inn and started renting the courtyard.

The courtyard is more comfortable to live in than an inn, and it looks decent. It is very convenient for entertaining classmates and friends, holding poetry gatherings and banquets, etc.

Li Shunzi had to stay outside to guard the ox cart, so only the father and son and Gu Tang went into the inn to pick up people.

Neither the father nor the son took the first step. They all looked at Gu Tang. Their meaning was very clear. They hoped that Gu Tang would take the lead.

Look at what you have accomplished!

Gu Tang cursed inwardly and walked into the inn.

As they were about to enter the inn, the waiters came up to them with a smile and talked to them. Gu Tangzhi said that they were there to pick up an old lady named Feng.

When the young man heard the name of the old lady named Feng, his expression changed instantly, and his smiling face turned into a bitter one. He hurriedly led Gu Tang to find the shopkeeper.

The innkeeper always remembered Gu Tang. There was no way, the longer Mrs. Feng stayed in the inn, the more he could not forget Gu Tang!

There is no other reason, it’s just that this old lady is too difficult to serve!

"You're finally here to pick someone up!" The shopkeeper seemed to have taken off all the shackles, and his whole body was relieved. "Hurry up! I'll take you there myself!"

Gu Tang paused, followed the shopkeeper, and asked tentatively: "But what's wrong with my old lady?"

Hearing this, Mr. Gu became anxious and quickly caught up with the shopkeeper and asked, "Is the patient's condition getting worse and he is dying?"

He hasn't found his wife's private property yet, so he can't die at this moment!

At this point, he turned around and blamed Gu Tang again: "It's all because of you and your daughter's cruelty! You actually left your grandma here all alone! If anything happens to your grandma, I will never forgive you!"

In front of the shopkeeper, Gu Tang directly retorted: "Since you value the old lady so much, why didn't you accept the request when I asked you to pick her up? You said you didn't have money, but you also said whoever brought the person should take it back.

I told you, my father and I had already given the money, you just had to come and receive it, but you just refused to come.

You just hate that the old lady is paralyzed and needs to be taken care of, but you don't want to serve her. If that's the case, why do you say that? Are you trying to throw dirty water on me, or are you trying to make a good name for yourself?

If you want to gain a good reputation, let the shopkeeper calculate all the expenses during this period, and then you return the money to me, and the reputation will be yours!"

"You!" Mr. Gu became so angry and embarrassed after being scolded that he almost couldn't help but want to teach Gu Tang a lesson.

Fortunately, he never forgot that Gu Tang had a knife hidden on him, so he could only endure it in frustration.

Gu Liansheng, who originally wanted to help his father lecture Gu Tang, gave up the idea at this moment, not wanting to humiliate himself in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper seemed not to have heard the quarrel between the grandfather and grandson. He just smiled bitterly and talked about Feng.

"The old lady in your family is really noisy! The two maids you hired were completely out of temper because of her! When you settle the bill with them later, I'm afraid you will have to give them some extra coppers to keep them quiet and ease their resentment."

How could Gu Tang not know what kind of person Feng was?

She replied apologetically, "The old lady has a bad temper, and the younger generations in the family have suffered a lot from her. I'm afraid you've been worried about the two old women because they've been wronged these days."

Old Master Gu was unhappy again after hearing this. "That's your grandma! How can you say that? What do you mean the younger generations in the family have suffered a lot? Who has suffered? I raised you up, but not only are you not grateful, you are actually complaining!"

Gu Tang rolled his eyes and ignored him.

The shopkeeper ignored them. In his eyes, only those who paid money were the "bosses". Those who didn't pay money and made a fuss were just a group of quacking ducks to be slaughtered.

Mr. Gu was very embarrassed to be ignored. He gritted his teeth and blamed Gu Tang for the incident.

Not long after following the shopkeeper, Gu Tang and the other two arrived at Feng's place.

Before they opened the door, the four of them heard Feng's loud voice coming from inside the house.

"You clumsy thing! I asked you to pick the bones out of the fish, but you spent so much time picking out the bones and not even picked out many. You even broke the fish meat into pieces! You are such a lowly thing! I would think you are too crude if you were to be my maid! Now that you can come into the house and serve me, it is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes!"

After hearing these words, Mr. Gu and Gu Liansheng's faces turned slightly hot. What are they talking about!

Feng in the room hadn't finished cursing yet.

"Where's the meat? You've only taken a few bites? It's gone! You old whore! Tell me! Did you steal my meat? Meat is precious, how can you eat it? If you don't behave yourself in the master's house, you will be skinned and have your tendons removed!"

Tsk!

These words sound so majestic that if someone who didn't know the answer thought it was an old lady scolding her servants.

Not to mention these, she was not really afraid of anything bad happening if she ate some fish and meat early in the morning.

"Does the old lady always eat like this?" Gu Tang asked curiously, without any sense of pity. She had given the shopkeeper the money before because she wanted her to eat like this.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "She has to eat this way. She has to eat meat twice a day. She won't eat anything else!"

Old Master Gu and Gu Liansheng were dumbfounded and sobbed with heartache!

How much silver would it cost to eat like this!

Gu Tang calculated silently, and the money she had given before might not be enough. "Excuse me, please go and calculate the account first to see if there is a shortage or surplus. If there is a shortage, I will make up for it for you."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go and calculate it first!" The shopkeeper was very happy to hear this, and immediately went to the front lobby to find the account book.

Hearing that they might have to pay extra money, the father and son did not dare to provoke Gu Tang at this critical moment. They hurriedly raised their hands to knock on the door, asking the people in the room to open the door quickly.

After a while, the door was opened.

Gu Tang looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Sun who opened the door.

Mrs. Sun did not recognize Mr. Gu and Gu Liansheng, she only recognized Gu Tang. When she saw Gu Tang, her eyes suddenly became red.

"Girl! You're finally here! We're almost tortured to death! Your job is too difficult!"

Gu Tang vaguely remembered that when he first met Granny Sun, she was sturdy and had plump cheeks.

But now, Mrs. Sun's eyes were blue, her cheeks were thin, and her whole body was full of resentment.

She swallowed her saliva. Feng was really good at doing evil. Look how she tortured people. She was such a jerk!
