Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 6 Stealing
Her father's voice rose again, "Sister-in-law? I dare not acknowledge her as my sister-in-law! What sister-in-law would wish her brother-in-law and his family dead every day?"

Feng was furious. "She just said a few words to your daughter. Who wants your whole family to die? What? As her aunt, she can't say anything?"

"That's hard to say!" Her father was also very tough towards her own mother, Feng.

Feng was so angry that she wanted to hit him with a broom.

"I won't talk nonsense with you! I'm only going to settle accounts with those who caused the trouble!" Her father waved his hands impatiently at Feng and walked into the main room.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of cursing and sharp, piercing cries were heard from the main room, oh, and continuous scolding.

The scolding came from her father, the crying came from Wei, and the scolding came from Mr. Gu.

Gu Tang pricked up her ears and listened for a while. She could tell that although her father was outnumbered, he was able to completely suppress the opponent.

As long as you don’t suffer any loss.

Gu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

He pulled the package that was casually placed on the bamboo couch over and began to unpack it.

When it was only half demolished, there was a "bang" sound and the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, which scared Gu Tang.

Gu Tang glanced at the person who came and his face instantly darkened.

The person who pushed the door open was the original owner's elder sister Gu Mei, followed by her elder brother Gu Laian.

Gu Mei and Gu Laian were her father Gu Lianshan’s first wife, born to Zhu. The two siblings were one year apart in age, one was fifteen and the other fourteen.

Gu Tang had no good feelings towards the brother and sister. He was too lazy to deal with them and simply drove them away: "Get out!"

Gu Mei had become accustomed to Gu Tang's bad temper over the past few days. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger to prevent herself from getting angry.

But Gu Laian couldn't stand this.

The fourteen-year-old boy, at the age when he was most concerned about his reputation, immediately started arguing with Gu Tang: "You bastard! I'm your brother! How dare you chase me away? I think you deserve to be punished...Ah!!!"

Before he could finish his curse words, a broken adobe brick came rushing towards him and hit Gu Laian on the head, causing him to scream in pain.

Gu Mei was startled and subconsciously took a few steps away.

Gu Tang sneered, "I haven't come to settle the score with you for what happened last time! And you actually come to me on your own!"

When Dad comes back later, I will tell him about your theft and I will skin you alive!"

The screams stopped abruptly.

Gu Laian's face turned pale, and he thought to himself, "Oh no! This damn girl actually saw that?"

"What do you mean by that?!" Gu Mei, who had come to her senses, also had a pale face.

He questioned Gu Tang in a bad tone: "Why are you talking nonsense at such a young age? Who stole it? If you don't tell me clearly, I will never forgive you even if I die!"

Gu Tang's smile became more and more sarcastic: "You ask me? Look back at your brother's guilty look!"

Gu Mei's expression froze, and she immediately turned around and stared at Gu Laian.

Pian Gu Lai'an avoided her gaze, lowered his head, and refused to look her in the eye.

Gu Mei knew what kind of person her younger brother was, so there was nothing she didn't understand.

Her brother really did steal something.

The key point is that that damn girl Gu Tang found out about this!
Gu Mei's vision went dark.

Gu Tang took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Bah! You have a father but no mother to raise you, yet you still criticize others! Look at the dirty hands and feet you have, isn't it true that the saying 'You have a father but no mother to raise you' has been proven wrong!"

"You..." Gu Mei was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She glared at Gu Tang as if she wanted to eat her alive.

Gu Laian couldn't stand Gu Tang's sarcasm, and he didn't dare to face Gu Tang's thieving eyes, so he simply covered his head and ran away!
"You're not going to chase her?" Gu Tang asked in a playful tone.

Gu Mei glared at her fiercely and reluctantly chased after them. After driving the siblings away, Gu Tang felt a little better. He took out the items from the package and put them all into the backpack that came with the sign-in system.

The Gu family is plagued by thieves from top to bottom. If any valuable things are left outside, they will be gone in no time.

Taking out the wooden basin from under the bamboo couch, Gu Tang planned to get some water to wash her hands, and then light some incense to worship various gods, hoping that good luck would come to her when she drew the lottery later.

She is not greedy, just a little bit is enough!

When I walked to the door, I heard a quarrel in the main room.

Gu Tang stuck his head out and took a look, only to see Feng sitting at the door of the main hall, arguing with her father at the top of her voice.

If she went out now, she would definitely run into Feng's trap.

Gu Tang was a little hesitant. How about going out to fetch water later?
After returning to the house and waiting for a while, he stuck his head out to look again, and found that Feng still had not left the door of the main hall.

Gu Tang was so anxious. This was just ruining her good things!
Fortunately, not long after, Gu Ping'an, who had gone out to chop firewood, came back.

Gu Tang looked delighted as he picked up a brick from the ground, scraped off a piece and threw it towards Gu Ping'an.

The clod of earth landed exactly at Gu Ping'an's feet.

Gu Ping'an, who was about to put down the firewood, knew as soon as he saw the piece of earth that it was picked up from the adobe.

He knew without even thinking who had thrown this thing.

Gu Ping'an looked towards the west wing, and sure enough, he saw his sister jumping and waving at him, with a finger on her mouth, signaling him not to make a sound.

Then he pointed at the noisy main room and himself, meaning that it was related to her?

Gu Ping'an glanced at Feng, and while she was facing away from the main hall door, he tiptoed to the west wing.

"What did you do today?" As soon as he entered the house, Gu Ping'an couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'll tell you later. Go get me some water first. I need to wash my hands."

Gu Tang handed the wooden basin to Gu Ping'an and used it very skillfully.

During the past month since he came here, Gu Ping'an has been exploited and brainwashed by her.

This child is a sister-con and has obeyed the original owner's words since he was young.

After a month of her "training", Gu Ping'an now puts her first in everything.

After all, this is the "investment stock" she chose herself. If it doesn't obey her and doesn't treat her well, her investment will be in vain!
After taking the wooden basin, Gu Ping'an obediently went to fetch water, and asked Gu Tang if he was in a hurry. If not, he would go and boil some water.

Washing hands with cold water is very painful in such weather, especially for girls.

"No! Just cold water." Gu Tang waved at him.

Pointing to the main hall, he added, "There's a quarrel going on in the main hall right now. If you boil water, won't it attract the attention of your grandparents? They'll definitely beat you up!"

Gu Ping'an paused, and immediately shuddered when he thought of his grandmother's angry face.

Go out and get some water immediately, don't even think about boiling it.

The Gu family kitchen is also in the west wing, just turn left when you go out the door.

Gu Ping'an moved lightly and cautiously, fetched some water and hurried back.

The children of the eldest wife were standing in the east wing corridor opposite, all looking at the main hall anxiously, fearing that Wei would suffer.

Seeing Gu Ping'an's sneaky actions, the children of the eldest wife all looked unhappy.

Wei's eldest daughter, Gu Qing, stared at Gu Ping'an and suddenly shouted, "Sanlang! What did you get from the kitchen? Why are you hiding it like that?"
