Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 92: The eldest wife also has a share?
Gu Tang was surprised and subconsciously looked at her father. Why was there still talk about the first wife?

Gu Lianshan was also confused: "What are you talking about! How could the eldest wife be involved in your theft?"

Zhang looked at the father and daughter with a puzzled look on their faces, and something in her heart moved. She looked away with a flickering look in her eyes.

She said, “My good sister-in-law saw me taking the silver and forced me to give her half. If I didn’t, she would tell everyone!

You said I stole twenty taels of silver from your Gu family, but ten of them were taken by the Wei family! Why should it all be put on my head?!"

Tsk! Trouble!
Gu Tang smacked her lips twice. She had wanted to make a scene today and drive Zhang out completely, but now that the eldest branch of the Gu family was involved, this matter would be difficult to handle.

Sure enough, after Zhang said this, the two elders of the Gu family who had originally hidden back in the house immediately opened the door and left.

In the east wing, Gu Liansheng, who had not been seen for a long time, was actually helped out of the east wing by Gu Tianbao.

Seeing their eldest son come out, the two elders of the Gu family came forward with a look of concern and asked, "Why did you come out? You're not well yet, how can you get out of bed and walk around?"

"After such a big incident, how can I lie down and not move? Besides, Daddy's health is not good, and now he is busy running around for me. I feel really bad for him."

As he spoke, Gu Liansheng's eyes turned red, which made the two elders of the Gu family feel very relieved.

Not far away, Gu Tang and Gu Lianshan, father and daughter, rolled their eyes in disgust.

The two elders of the Gu family ignored the father and daughter. In fact, they were so scared of Gu Tang that they didn't dare to talk to her.

He just walked up to Zhang with a stiff body and asked her sternly what she meant by what she had just said.

"You clearly stole the money yourself, why are you blaming it on your sister-in-law?"

Zhang knew the character of the two elders of the Gu family and didn't want to get entangled with them. She just said, "Wei is not here right now. When she comes back, just ask her! And search the cabinets in her room! I guarantee you'll find a lot of things she can't afford!"

Gu Liansheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his eyes to hide the panic in his eyes.

He knew this.

It is true that Wei saw Zhang stealing the silver, so he greedily asked for a lot of benefits in return, but it was definitely not ten taels. Moreover, the silver was not only spent by Wei himself, but he also spent a lot of it.

Therefore, no one should be allowed to search Wei's cabinet.

Gu Liansheng coughed twice, looking sickly. He said, "There are indeed some eye-catching things in Wei's cabinet, but they were all bought for her by my son..."

Zhang's expression immediately changed. "Nonsense! You've failed the imperial examinations for decades and never earned a penny. How can you afford to buy things for Wei?"

Gu Liansheng's face darkened. He glanced at Zhang, secretly hating why his second daughter didn't strangle her to death just now.

If this person is strangled to death, there will be no peace in this family from now on!
The two elders of the Gu family also looked very unhappy. Firstly, it was because Zhang's words were too embarrassing, and secondly, they felt that although Zhang's words were unpleasant, they were not wrong.

How could they not know what kind of person their eldest son was? Where could he earn money?

"Big brother, tell me the truth." Feng said worriedly, "You've been studying all the time, so how are you going to earn money?" Gu Liansheng was gloomy for a moment, but soon recovered and smiled bitterly, "Although my son has failed the imperial examinations many times, he has a beautiful handwriting. I have a good friend from school who, because his family was poor, has been copying books in a bookstore.

Not long ago, he was impressed by his son's good handwriting and strongly recommended that he work as a copyist in a bookstore. He worked hard every month, and although he didn't earn much, he still earned a few hundred coins. Unfortunately, Wei found out about this money and pestered him to take it back, using it to buy some of his favorite things.

After buying the things, Wei regretted it again. She was afraid that you would be angry if you knew, so she locked the things in the closet and never wore them out.

But for some reason, it was seen by my brother's wife. Before she disappeared, Wei mentioned to me that my brother's wife had taken a fancy to one of her clothes, but because it was new, Wei was reluctant to give it away, and there was some unpleasantness between the two sisters-in-law.

I thought it was nothing, but who would have thought that the incident of my brother-in-law stealing the silver would be exposed, and the blame would be put on Wei. Wei was indeed a person with many faults, but she knew her son's temper and would not dare to steal the silver.

Therefore, the person who stole the silver could only be Zhang herself.

Although Gu Liansheng did not say the latter sentence explicitly, everyone knew it clearly in their hearts.

Zhang stared at Gu Liansheng, as if seeing him clearly for the first time. "Alright, alright! You Gu family's shamelessness is actually from the same bloodline! Since you won't admit it, then we'll meet at the government office!"

Gu Liansheng's heart sank, and his tone softened immediately: "Wei's whereabouts are unknown now. You said she stole the silver with you. This matter will probably be difficult to judge. But the fact that you stole the silver is a foregone conclusion. If you go to the government office, you will at least be exiled.

And the two from the Lin family, if my second brother's daughter insists that the Lin family is the mastermind, she will probably be exiled along with my sister-in-law. Exile is a death sentence for him! My sister-in-law, by then, the Lin family will have no descendants, and it will be you who will be the one to end it all!

This was a decisive blow.

Why did Zhang do these things that were criticized?
It’s all for the Lin family’s only child!
If the Lin family's only child dies in her hands, how will she have the face to see her husband after she dies?

But if she didn't tell him, she wouldn't be able to get over the fact that she was almost strangled to death by that evil creature today! She couldn't let go of the anger in her heart!
And Brother Lang and Sister Yue were kicked and had their arms broken. They were so angry that they couldn't even vent. I'm afraid they thought the Lin family was easy to bully!
So, should I sue or not?
Zhang sat on the ground in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"mother……"

Lin Lang's weak voice suddenly reached Zhang's ears.

Zhang turned around and saw her son leaning against the wall with a pale face. She was suddenly filled with grief and quickly got up and ran over.

"Lang'er...it's all because of your uselessness! You have suffered so much!" Zhang hugged him and cried sadly.

Lin Lang leaned in her arms and whispered, "Don't report me to the authorities... Wait until I pass the imperial examination, and then we can get everything back..."

By now, he had fully understood that his mother had indeed stolen the silver.

In this case, he couldn't report it to the police. If he did, the matter would be exposed and he wouldn't be able to escape the blame. In the end, they would all be punished together and their futures would be ruined!

If it really comes to that, he might as well just die now!
No one knows a son better than his mother. Although Lin Lang only said one sentence, Zhang understood it completely.

She also whispered back, "Don't worry, I won't report you to the police. I can endure anything for you, but you can't take this kick today in vain. I have to get something back for you..."

Thinking of the things that had been burned before, Lin Lang gritted his teeth and refused.

Without pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he couldn't read and write well. If he couldn't read well, how could he take the imperial examination?
Nowadays, scientific research is his only way out.
