Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 38: Ignorance

Zhang's shouting and cursing attracted many passers-by to stop and watch, and pointed at her.

This made Zhang, who was furious, regain some of her rationality and her face turned red instantly.

Watching the father and daughter on the ox cart going farther and farther away without even looking back, Zhang didn't know what was wrong, but she was so sad that tears rolled down her face.

She wiped away her tears, covered her face with a handkerchief and ran away.

On the departing ox cart, Gu Lianshan, listening to his wife's yelling and cursing, finally understood what his daughter meant.

He glanced at his daughter with an indescribable expression: "Did you really get the silver back?"

"Yes! I got it back." Gu Tang pulled the purse out of his sleeve and swung it back and forth in his hand.

Gu Lianshan wiped his face and cried out in his heart: Damn it!
Now there is some trouble!

Gu Tang glanced at her father, knowing what he was thinking, and spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, my mother is a person who values ​​​​her dignity! She can do whatever she wants in secret, but she will never make a scene in public, especially when she is not in the right. She will definitely not make a scene."

"There's always a chance of something happening. What if your mother can't hold it back this time and makes a scene? Just like just now, this is the first time Dad has seen your mother yelling and cursing in the street."

"She dared to yell and curse in the street because we were gone and outsiders didn't know the truth. If she dared to go back and make trouble, the ghosts here would definitely be exposed! She wouldn't dare to do that. She cares about the reputation of the Lin family and doesn't dare to damage it at all!"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Gu Lianshan's chest, causing him excruciating pain!

Gu Tang took a look and patted her father on the shoulder: "Just pretend she doesn't exist. Aren't we living well together as father and daughter? Look, I've got back all the money you saved!"

As she spoke, she quickly untied her purse and poured all the silver inside onto the hem of her clothes.

There were five pieces of silver in the purse, large and small. Gu Tang picked them up and weighed them, but the weight was wrong. The silver weighed at least five taels!
"Dad, are you sure you only lost two or three taels?"

Gu Lianshan glanced back and was stunned for a moment: "This seems a bit too much?"

"Please consider it." Gu Tang handed over the silver.

As the silver was about to fall into his hands, Gu Lianshan's expression changed. He said firmly, "That's a lot! This weighs at least five or six taels!"

"You think it's too much? Excluding the two or three taels you lost, who owns the remaining half? Don't even mention the Lin family. Even if the Lin family has silver, it's impossible for it to appear in my mother's hands!"

Gu Lianshan thought silently for a while, and then something flashed through his mind. He glanced at his daughter hesitantly and said, "The extra money should be yours."

"Mine?" Gu Tang pointed at himself.

"Yes, it should be yours."

Gu Tang was instantly furious: "My mother stole my money again?! When did she steal it? Why didn't I know about it?"

"Have you forgotten? A few years ago, your mother often stole your money, and you endured it every time."

The anger immediately dissipated half...

Gu Tang scratched his head. It was a few years ago, so she hadn’t worn it yet.

"Let's do the math. Your mother stole quite a bit back then. After deducting what she spent on herself and what the Lin family spent, there's still a little left. This extra money is probably what's left over from the money you lost."

Now it’s Gu Tang’s turn to be speechless!
"This is really... I heard that she also read a few books and wrote a few words with the Lin family. How come after coming to our family, she dared to do such dirty things!"

Disgusting!
It's really disgusting!

Gu Lianshan didn't say anything. He didn't know why Zhang had become like this.

"Since this silver is ours, let's split it in half!" Gu Tang took two of the smaller pieces and returned the remaining three larger pieces to her father. Gu Lianshan waved his hand and said, "You keep it for me. If I leave the silver here, your mother will get it sooner or later."

"Okay! Then I'll keep it for you."

After collecting all the silver in his hands, Gu Tang threw away his purse and used the secret pocket in his sleeve as a cover to smuggle the silver into the system backpack.

Speaking of hiding the silver, Gu Lianshan became curious again. "You've gotten better at hiding it in recent years. Your mother can only occasionally find a few copper coins in your room. She hasn't found the bulk of the silver in a long time. Tell me, where did you hide it?"

"You can't tell me this! The fewer people who know, the safer it is!" Gu Tang acted mysteriously.

In fact, before she came here, in order to prevent Zhang from stealing the silver, the original owner hid the silver directly in the mountains!

On weekdays, he only kept some scattered copper coins in the house, not many, only about ten or twenty cents.

Check it out!

That inhuman bastard Zhang! What has he done to the child?!

Gu Tang pondered for a while, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. This matter was not over yet!

Zhang and the Lin family have to pay back to her all the money they spent on the original owner!

Not even one point less!

……

As it grew dark, the father and daughter finally returned to the village on a bullock cart.

Because of the cold weather, there was no one on the village road at this time.

Gu Lianshan was worried that pulling a cart full of things back to the village would attract the attention of the entire village.

Apart from anything else, those forty chickens and ducks are the only ones in the whole village!
However, he could escape from the villagers but not from the Gu family.

When they arrived at the door, Gu Lianshan did not get off the ox cart. Instead, he quietly asked Gu Tang: "There are so many chickens, ducks, rice and noodles on the cart, and you are just going to take them home like this?"

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Tang raised his eyebrows. "Believe it or not, if the eldest wife and my grandmother dare to take anything, I can make them pay me double! Maybe I can even make a small fortune this winter!"

Gu Lianshan's eyes lit up. You know what, after hearing what his daughter said, this is really a good way to make a fortune!
In addition to the money in the hands of his parents, the eldest wife also has a lot of money hidden in her own hands. If they add it up, it can indeed allow his daughter to make a small fortune.

"That's a good idea! Daddy's here to support you!"

Gu Tang smiled and nodded, flexed his wrist, jumped off the ox cart, and kicked open the gate.

"Ping An! Come out and help move the things!"

The loud yet clear voice echoed throughout the Gu family, announcing to everyone in the Gu family that she, Gu Tang, had returned from shopping again!
If you are not afraid of death, just come and make trouble!
Gu Ping'an had been waiting in the west wing, waiting from day till night, and finally the father and daughter came back.

He came out from the west wing, responded cheerfully, used the flint in the kitchen to light a torch, and walked out of the yard anxiously.

The dim firelight made everything unclear. When he got to the ox cart, Gu Pingan finally saw the things on the cart. He was stunned and stood there.

"What are you standing there for? Help me move the things!"

Gu Tang patted him, pointed at the things in the car and assigned him a task: "I'll go open the door first, and you move the rice, flour, oil and salt into my room.

As for the chickens and ducks, move them to the backyard along with their cages for the time being. Don’t let them out. We’ll figure out a place for them tomorrow…”
