Chapter 37: Get the Silver Back
ah?
Gu Lianshan looked surprised and subconsciously looked over there.
"No, no, no!" Gu Tang hurriedly grabbed her father's sleeve to stop him from turning his head to look, "You can't look over there! It will be bad if she recognizes us! She is determined to take half of the things in this car and give them to the Lin family!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Lianshan's neck suddenly froze and he dared not move.
Gu Tang handed over the thick clothes in the car: "Hurry up and cover your face!"
After taking the clothes, Gu Lianshan hurriedly put them on his head and face, and sat on the ox cart, not daring to get off.
The action of wrapping the head with clothes is not abrupt. Many people squatting in the corners or sitting on donkey carts or ox carts are like this.
The weather was cold, and many poor people could not afford to buy hats to keep out the wind and cold, so they could only wrap their heads with their clothes, leaving only their eyes exposed.
Therefore, the actions of the father and daughter did not attract any attention.
With their faces covered, the father and daughter were no longer worried about being recognized. They turned sideways and stared straight at Zhang.
Zhang, who was squeezed in the crowd, was unaware of what was happening. She stood on tiptoe and looked inside, shouting, "Does no one want that big iron pot? If no one wants it, can you sell it to me? My family is waiting for it urgently. We have been waiting for half a day..."
Zhang's voice was very loud, and the father and daughter not far away could hear it clearly.
Gu Tang subconsciously glared at her father: "You gave money to my mother again?!"
"Who gave her money? I didn't!" Gu Lianshan instantly became alert and denied it repeatedly.
"Then where did she get the money to buy the iron pot? A big iron pot costs at least one and a half taels of silver!"
Gu Lianshan hesitated: "Maybe... maybe it was given by the Lin family..."
"Bullshit!" Gu Tang cursed without any hesitation, "The Lin family is so poor that they can only eat porridge every two days! If you hadn't secretly supported them all these years, the grass on the graves of the old and young in his family would be taller than me!
Being so poor, how can his family afford to buy a pot? If he can afford it, I will chop off my head and give it to his family as a stool!"
The corners of Gu Lianshan's mouth twitched, and he was unable to utter a word.
"Tell me quickly! Where did my mother get the silver?" Gu Tang said impatiently and glared at him again.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Gu Lianshan could only tell the truth: "Dad has saved two or three taels of silver over the years, and some time ago, the silver suddenly disappeared... Dad asked your mother, and your mother said that she saw your grandmother coming to our west wing, and said that the silver was probably taken away by your grandmother.
Dad was going to ask your grandma, but Ping An stopped him and said it wasn’t your grandma who took it, saying your mother was crying thief, and it was your mother who took the silver herself…”
"And then?"
"What happened next? Later, Dad went to ask your mom, but she refused to admit it and made a fuss. Dad was afraid that it would be embarrassing if it got out, so he just kept silent about it."
"Not nice to listen to? That's rare! You are such a shameless person, how can you be afraid of whether it sounds nice or not!" Gu Tang sneered twice, which made her father's old face turn red with embarrassment.
Gu Lianshan didn't dare to say a word, knowing that his daughter was really angry, and not just ordinary anger.
Sure enough, Gu Tang lifted the blanket off his body, jumped off the ox cart nimbly, and ran straight to Zhang.
Gu Lianshan was suddenly startled, took off his clothes, and hurried to chase after the person.
But Gu Tang walked too fast, and there were many people coming and going on the street, so Gu Lianshan stretched out his arms but failed to catch him.
The ox cart behind him couldn't be left unattended at this moment, and for a moment, he was so angry that he stamped his feet and had to drive after them.
Gu Tang in front had already come behind Zhang. She looked Zhang up and down calmly and waited without saying a word.
The next moment, a large iron pot was handed out, and a rough voice shouted, "Who wants the iron pot? Two taels of silver for a large pot! You can take it away after paying the silver!"
Zhang stood on tiptoe again and responded happily: "This pot is what I want! Two taels of silver, right? Good! Here I give it to you!"
She pulled out a purse embroidered with flowers and plants from her sleeve, untied the string, and took out a silver coin from it.
Gu Tang was waiting for this moment. He rushed over very quickly and snatched away both the silver and the purse!
"Ah!" Zhang was caught off guard and thought she had encountered a thief. She turned around with a scream.
After seeing who it was, she swallowed the words "robbed the money" that were about to come out of her mouth and changed her words to scold: "You little idiot! Where did you learn this trick?! You actually robbed money in the street? It must be your wicked father who taught you! You are a good girl, but you are so dirty!"
"This is not what my father taught me. I learned it from you." Gu Tang put the silver back into his purse and stuffed it neatly into his sleeve.
Then he casually exposed Zhang's shortcomings: "Aren't you a dishonest person who steals money everywhere? First you stole from me, and then you stole from my father. If this gets out, everyone who hears it will praise you for your 'good teaching'!"
Zhang's face froze and she was shaking with anger.
"Where's the person who wants the pot? Do you still want it?! Hurry up and pay the money!"
The rough and loud voice sounded again, startling Zhang for a moment and bringing her back to her senses from her anger.
Zhang suppressed her anger, knowing that she was not at home and could not make a scene no matter what.
After all, I had lived in Bei'an City for several years and had some acquaintances there, so I absolutely could not start a quarrel in the street.
"Come with me, let's find a place where there is no one to talk." Zhang reached out her hand to pull Gu Tang, wanting to take him to a place where there was no one to teach him a lesson.
Gu Tang shook him off and took two steps back: "I am a clean person. If you have anything to say, let's talk on the street. Who would want to go to such a shameful place with you? Is this the rule of your Lin family? There is no such rule in my Gu family!"
After saying this, she turned and ran.
This time, Zhang was so angry that she was shaking.
She felt dizzy and everything went dark before her eyes!
Even though this evil creature was her own child, he looked just like his father!
His words and actions are vulgar, not presentable and embarrassing!
After staggering two steps, Zhang could only grit her teeth and chase after him.
Over there, Gu Lianshan finally squeezed over here with his ox cart, and when he looked up he saw his daughter running towards him in a hurry.
Gu Lianshan was confused. Didn't she go to see her mother? Why did she come back again?
Before he could ask, he saw his daughter quickly climb onto the ox cart and urge him to go faster: "Go home! I got the money back!"
ah?
Gu Lianshan didn't understand what this meant, he just subconsciously followed his daughter's instructions and walked along the street. He would turn a corner at the next intersection and he would be out of the city.
When Zhang, who was behind, caught up, she saw the father and daughter on the ox cart at a glance.
He could no longer suppress his anger, and he shouted at the father and daughter sharply: "Second Gu! You are a worthless person who died on the street! You actually instigated your daughter to rob money with dirty hands and feet! Be careful that the cow goes crazy and throws you and your daughter to death!"
