Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 37: Recovering the Silver

what?
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 and looking. "You can't look over there! It would be terrible if she recognized us! She's definitely going 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 covered his head and face with them, 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 corner 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 own clothes, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Therefore, the father and daughter's actions 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, squeezed in the crowd, was completely unaware. She stood on tiptoe and looked inside, shouting non-stop, "Is there no one who wants that big iron pot? If so, could you sell it to me? My family needs it urgently, and we've 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 an 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!
"He's so poor, how can he afford to buy a pot? If he can afford it, I'll chop off my head and give it to his family as a stool!"

Gu Lianshan's mouth twitched and he was speechless because of the retort.

"Tell me quickly! Where did my mother get the silver?" Gu Tang said impatiently and glared at him again.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Gu Lianshan could only tell the truth: "Dad has saved two or three taels of silver over the years. 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 that your mother took the silver herself..."

"and after?"

"What happened next? Later, Dad went to ask your mom, but she refused to admit it and made a fuss. Dad was afraid it would be embarrassing if it got out, so he kept it to himself."

"Not nice to hear? That's rare! You are such a shameless person, you are actually not 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 angry in a normal way.

Sure enough, Gu Tang threw off the blanket on 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 couldn't catch him.

The oxcart behind him couldn't leave the people behind him either. For a moment, he was so angry that he stamped his feet and had no choice but to drive after them. Gu Tang, who was ahead, had already reached Zhang. She looked Zhang up and down calmly, waiting without saying a word.

The next moment, a large iron pot was handed out from inside, and a rough voice shouted: "Who wants the iron pot? Two taels of silver for a large pot! Pay the silver and you can take it away!"

Zhang stood on tiptoe again and responded happily, "This pot is what I want! Two taels of silver, right? Okay! Here it is!"

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 at an extremely fast speed and snatched away the silver and the purse!

"Ah!" Zhang was caught off guard and turned around with a scream, thinking she had encountered a thief.

After seeing who it was, she swallowed the words "robbed the silver" that were on the tip of her tongue and changed her words to scolding, "You little idiot! Where did you learn this trick?! You actually robbed silver in the street? It must have been taught by your shady father! You're such a good girl, but you're so dishonest!"

"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 into his sleeve neatly.

Then, in a lighthearted tone, he exposed Zhang's shortcomings: "Aren't you just a dishonest person who steals money everywhere? First you stole mine, then you stole my father's. 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 wanted the pot? Do you still want it?! Hurry 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 under any circumstances.

After all, I had lived in Bei'an City for a few years and had some acquaintances there, so I absolutely couldn't start a quarrel in the street.

"Come with me, let's find a place where there is no one to talk." Zhang reached out to pull Gu Tang, wanting to coax him to a place where there is no one to teach him a lesson.

Gu Tang shook him off and took two steps back: "I'm 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 black!

Although this evil creature was her own child, he looked just like his father!
His words and actions are vulgar, not presentable and embarrassing!

After stumbling a few steps, Zhang could only grit her teeth and chase after him.

Over there, Gu Lianshan finally squeezed over here with his ox cart. 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 silver back!"

what?
Gu Lianshan didn't understand what this meant, and just subconsciously followed his daughter's instructions, walking along the street. He would turn 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.

Unable to suppress his anger any longer, he lashed out at the father and daughter, "Second Brother Gu! You're a worthless wretch who died on the street! You actually instigated your daughter to rob money with your dirty hands! Be careful, that bull might go crazy and throw you and your daughter to death!"
