Chapter 95 Shameless!
Gu Tang tugged at her father's clothes: "If it weren't for the settlement today, I wouldn't want to talk about the past. Every time I think about it, I feel stupid and foolish. I didn't say anything when something happened. Even if you were by my side every day to take care of me, you wouldn't have known if I didn't tell you."
Gu Lianshan wiped his face. Indeed, his daughter was very quiet at that time, and her whole body looked dull and lifeless.
That is to say, after I was sick last time, I figured out a lot of things and changed my temperament.
Thinking of this, he stared at Zhang fiercely, "Now that my daughter's account has been settled, it's time to settle mine too! You stole five or six taels of silver from me! And also grain and cloth! If converted into silver, these would be at least two or three taels!
I’ll give you nine taels for both! The daughter’s will be counted as twenty-five taels, which adds up to thirty-four taels! If you pay me back every penny less, this matter will be over. Otherwise, I will ignore everything and exile you! ”
Zhang's face turned pale instantly. She argued, "How can it be that much?! Besides, that evil creature stole six taels of silver from me last time! And Wei also took half! What I have left is only a little over ten taels!"
"Wei took the money from you, so just ask her for it. If she's not here, go ask the eldest wife for it. It's up to you whether you want it back or not!
According to my calculation, you have indeed taken away thirty-four taels of silver. Not a penny less! You have to return them all to me! ”
Gu Lianshan waved his hands impatiently and didn't listen to Zhang's excuses. He just urged her to go and make trouble with the first wife, letting them fight each other!
Zhang was so angry at his rogue behavior that she was shaking. She turned around and yelled at Feng: "Did you two hear what the second elder said? Now he is forcing me to pay back the money, and the half that Wei took away must be returned together! Otherwise, I will be exiled, and she can't escape!"
"You still have the nerve to mention Wei!" Feng's old face was ferocious. She picked up the feather duster on the table, stepped forward and beat Zhang.
"ah!!!"
Zhang was caught off guard and was hit several times. When she came to her senses, she pushed Feng to the ground.
Feng fell heavily, and sat on the ground, pointing at Zhang and cursing: "You vile whore! I was blind to hire a thief like you who has dirty hands and feet! Over the past ten years, you have stolen more than thirty taels of silver from my Gu family!"
Feng became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she struggled to get up. I didn't ask clearly before, and thought it was just a small amount, but I didn't expect it to be more than thirty taels!
Glancing at the silent Lin siblings behind Zhang, Feng's eyes flashed with ferocity: "If you can't pay back the money, I will sell you two bastards!"
The Lin siblings were Zhang's Achilles' heel and no one could touch them. Feng's words angered Zhang again, making her instantly furious and she turned to go to the east wing.
When Feng saw her leaving, she thought she was going to run away, so she quickly ordered her son to stop her: "The money hasn't been returned yet! We can't let her go!"
Gu Lianshan didn't move. The two brothers and sisters of the Lin family were staying here, and Zhang would not run away.
Seeing that her son didn't move, Feng was so angry that she cursed him, "Useless thing!" Then she followed him out eagerly.
Seeing this, Mr. Gu hurriedly stood up and took two steps forward. When he came in front of his son, veins bulged on his forehead and he hit his son with the cane in his hand.
"You are the man of the house! Your wife stole so much money! She almost emptied the Gu family!"
Gu Lianshan dodged quickly and asked with a shameless look on his face: "I don't understand what you mean. Among the thirty-four taels of silver, twenty-five taels are my daughter's own and have nothing to do with the Gu family!
The other nine taels were saved by the son himself and had nothing to do with the Gu family. After all, the eldest brother kept all the money he earned from copying books for himself, and the son was learning from him. Tell me, why did you move out of the Gu family’s house? ”
Mr. Gu's expression froze for a moment, then he argued: "I will ask your eldest brother to hand over the silver later! The same goes for you. Didn't your wife just say that your daughter snatched back six taels of silver from her?
If you give the silver to your mother for safekeeping and then let you be the manager, I'm afraid all the things in your house will be moved out!
The same goes for Si Ya. Hand over all the money in your hands. From now on, you are not allowed to hold money in your hands until the family is divided, so as to prevent what happened today from happening again! ”
Gu Lianshan had known his own father's shamelessness since he was a child and was no longer surprised. Just as he was about to say something back, he heard his daughter next to him scolding him without any politeness.
"Oh! This is really like a dung beetle wearing a mask - shameless! Master, are you crazy about money? Why do you always think about good things!
I would strangle my own mother to death if she took my money. Do you think you are more shameless than her, or do you have more shame than her? ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.
Gu Lianshan covered his face, the old man was probably so angry that he would die.
Sure enough, the next moment, Mr. Gu became furious and swung his cane again, hitting Gu Tang.
Gu Lianshan's face darkened, and he immediately stepped forward to stop the man: "Dad!"
Old Master Gu's eyes widened with anger, his face flushed and his neck thickened: "Why keep such an unfilial little beast around?! Why not just kill her now and put an end to it all..."
"Gu Liansheng! Get out here!"
A hoarse and unpleasant shout suddenly came from outside, interrupting Mr. Gu's anger.
Everyone in the room was stunned, only Gu Tang laughed with glee: "My mother is going to ask my uncle for money."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of the house and ran to watch the show.
The people in the room had different expressions on their faces, and soon they all followed him out.
When he got outside, he saw Zhang standing in the east wing like a madman, yelling and cursing, calling Gu Liansheng a coward! Curse Wei for being cruel and taking away half of the silver!
Finally, he made a harsh statement: out of the thirty-four pieces of silver, the eldest wife must pay half! Otherwise, we will all perish together and no one will have a good ending!
Feng was almost going crazy. If she allowed Zhang to continue shouting like this, sooner or later outsiders would be attracted!
She went up to Zhang and started tearing her apart, cursing, "Shameless whore! How dare you throw dirty water on your brother! Come back to the house with me!"
If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really started fighting, the old Mrs. Feng would really be no match for the young Mrs. Zhang.
Zhang pushed her away swiftly, saying that she would go out to spread the news in the village and complain to the elders.
If no one stands up for her, she will go to the government office to appeal for justice!
Zhang's shout shocked Feng and Mr. Gu immediately.
Feng was so frightened that her face turned pale. She held Zhang tightly and refused to let her go.
Old Master Gu was also panicking, and hurriedly pushed his son a few times: "Hurry up! Hurry and bring your wife back! If this really gets known to everyone, how will our family be able to show our faces in the village in the future! And your eldest brother and your nephew! They are going to take the imperial examinations!"
