Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 64: Check-in at the bank!

Gu Lianshan knew that he couldn't persuade his daughter, so he didn't try to persuade her. After all, she would definitely back out after seeing the prices of the food in the restaurant tomorrow.

After eating and drinking, the father and his two sons went back to their rooms to sleep.

The inn provides quilts. I don’t know what’s inside them. They are not soft, but thick enough.

The rooms in this inn are all built with blue bricks, with thick walls that are very cold-proof.

Covering themselves with a blanket and their clothes, they felt much warmer than sleeping at home.

That night, except for Gu Tang who was not too cold at home, Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an had a full night's sleep in winter for the first time.

In the past, when I was at home, I would wake up from the cold once or twice every night. Today, it was really a rare opportunity for me to sleep through the night.

When Gu Tang got up and asked how the father and son slept, the quick-talking Gu Ping'an immediately told him happily.

Gu Tang knew this. Before she came here, the original owner had also survived like this year after year.

She could empathize with how uncomfortable it was.

After helping Gu Ping'an straighten his clothes, she said, "Let's go have the 'all-meat feast' first, then we'll go find the pawnshop. Once we've settled the house issue, we'll go buy some furs to make quilts."

If his daughter hadn't had a warm sleep yet, Gu Lianshan would definitely not be willing to spend this money.

But now that I have experienced that feeling, I don’t want to be woken up by the cold every night anymore.

After pondering for a while, Gu Lianshan gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Dad won't talk about paying you back, and Dad can't pay you back, but today Dad promises you that if the family splits up in the future, no matter what Dad has, you and your brothers will each have a share!
Fields, land, houses, whatever Dad has, you can inherit a share just like your older brothers and younger brothers. From now on, you will be the 'second son' of our family!"

what? !

Gu Tang was dumbfounded and blurted out subconsciously: She changed from a female to a male?

After understanding what her father meant, Gu Tang finally realized the significance of his words.

Her eyes lit up, and she took the opportunity to ask, "If that's what you said, would you be willing to set up a daughter-in-law for me in the future?"

"Establish a female household?" Gu Lianshan was shocked. "My dear, do you know what a 'female household' is?"

"I know. Women who have established a female household can, like men, establish their own household and show their faces in public. No one dares to say anything bad about them anymore!"

"This is just the surface!" Gu Lianshan counted on his fingers and explained to her one by one: "If you establish a female household, you will have to bear the taxes, grain taxes, corvée labor, military service, etc.!

As for marriage, most women can only marry a son-in-law, not a man! This is because when a woman marries, she has to pay taxes along with her husband's family. Under double taxation, the family will surely be destroyed!
If a woman's household wants to marry a man into her family, the man can live with the woman like a woman and only needs to pay taxes. But since ancient times, how many men who are willing to marry into her family are good? Not to mention that they are all ugly, but few of them are good people either!

These words did not scare Gu Tang, but made her more satisfied with her choice.

"Those taxes are what I deserve. Since I've earned the right to set up a household, I should also shoulder the responsibilities that come with it.

As for marriage, I'm still young, so I can just take my time and figure it out. Besides, if the son-in-law doesn't behave like a human being, I can just kick him out and let him go, leaving the son behind.

I can earn money on my own, and I'm staying by your side, not marrying out of wedlock. I also have Ping An looking after me. Who would dare to bully me? When that happens, I'll have money, a father, and brothers. Why would I worry about not having a good life?

You know what, after Gu Tang’s twisted and heretical talk, Gu Lianshan was slightly shaken.

If his daughter could stay under his nose for a long time, he would wake up laughing in his dreams!
He glanced at his son, who clapped his hands in approval, his eyes sparkling. "Second sister, this is a great idea! If you establish a female household, we can choose a plot of land in the village to build a house. Then, we can live together forever. There's no one closer than us!"

"Look? Ping'an has agreed!" Gu Tang tugged at her father's clothes and pestered him to agree.

Gu Lianshan didn't give up immediately: "After I finish your work, I will go to the government office to ask about the rules for establishing a household for a daughter. Besides, without a household registration and a place to stay, it can't be done for the time being..."

"I didn't say to do it right away. You have to agree to me first!" Gu Tang was not someone to be fooled. She continued to pester her father to agree first.

Gu Lianshan was so annoyed by her that he could only nod and agree: "Okay, okay, okay! It's up to you!" Gu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Her father was more open-minded than she thought.

After the matter was settled, the father and his two sons left the inn and went to find a restaurant to have an all-meat banquet.

Before eating the all-meat banquet, Gu Tang said he wanted to go to the money shop first to get a silver note and exchange it for cash.

Of course, this is just superficial rhetoric.

In fact, Gu Tang was planning to sign in at the bank to see if he could sign out the money!
After arriving at the money shop, Gu Tang gave a twenty-liang silver note to her father and asked her father to take Gu Ping'an to exchange it, while she waited at the door.

After the father and son entered the money shop, Gu Tang closed his eyes and prayed silently to God.

Then call out the system panel and start signing in——

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in and receiving ten copper coins!]

what……

Gu Tang was dumbfounded. Ten cents?!

She hurriedly put her hands into her sleeves, secretly took out the sign-in reward, and counted them one by one in front of her.

One, two, three...eight, nine, ten!!!

Ten coins, really ten coins...

Gu Tang covered his chest, his heart ached!

If you sign in in the mountains, it will cost more than ten cents to sign in a random living creature!

What was this? To stop her from getting something for nothing?
Gu Tang chewed his fingers and kept thinking in his mind, feeling that the system shouldn't be so stupid.

Is it a matter of probability?

For example, if she is unlucky today, among the many rewards, she signs in and gets the least?

Or does the system have restrictions on sign-in items like silver?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She shook her head to clear her mind.

Ten cents, right?

It's okay! She'll come again tomorrow!
She just didn't believe it, that she could earn ten cents every day!

It's all about chance. If she wins once, it might be enough to cover her income from running around in the mountains.

After making up her mind, Gu Tang began to think of ways to delay time. She had to keep her father in Bei'an City for a few more days.

Not long after, Gu Lianshan and his son, who had gone into the bank to exchange silver, came out one after another, their faces not looking very good.

Gu Tang's heart skipped a beat. Why that expression? Could the banknote be fake?

Before Gu Tang could step forward, she saw her father mumbling something, and it looked like he was cursing someone.

Because the voice was too soft, Gu Tang couldn't hear clearly who he was scolding.

But at this moment, there is no need to think about it, he must be scolding the people in the money house.

This made Gu Tang more convinced that the banknotes were fake!

She glared at him and asked, "Dad, is this banknote fake?!"

Gu Lianshan, who was cursing vigorously, suddenly came back to his senses, with a confused look on his face, and did not hear what Gu Tang had just said.
