Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 95 Shameless!

Gu Tang tugged at her father's clothes and said, "If it weren't for the reckoning today, I wouldn't want to talk about those things in the past. Every time I think about it, I feel so stupid and foolish. I didn't say anything when something happened. Even if you were by my side every day to look after me, you wouldn't have known if I hadn't told you."

Gu Lianshan wiped his face. Indeed, his daughter was very quiet at that time, and she looked dull and lifeless.

That is, after I was sick last time, I figured out a lot of things and changed my temperament.

Thinking of this, he stared at Zhang fiercely: "Now that my daughter's account has been settled, it's time to settle mine too! You stole five or six taels of silver from me! And also grain and cloth! If converted into silver, these would be at least two or three taels!
I'll give you nine taels for both! And my daughter's will be twenty-five taels, so all together it's thirty-four taels! If you return it to me without missing a cent, this matter will be over. Otherwise, I'll disregard everything and exile you!"

Zhang's face paled instantly. She argued, "How could it be that much?! Besides, that evil creature stole six taels of silver from me last time! And Wei also took half! What's left in my hands is only a little over ten taels!"

"Wei took the money from you, so just ask her for it. If she's not here, ask the eldest wife for it. Whether you want it back or not is up to you!

"According to my calculations, you did take thirty-four taels of silver. Not a cent less! You must return it all to me!"

Gu Lianshan waved his hands impatiently, not listening to Zhang's sophistry, and only urged her to go and make trouble with the eldest wife, letting them fight each other!

Zhang was so enraged by his scoundrel behavior that she trembled. She turned around and yelled at Feng, "Did you hear what the second elder said? Now he's forcing me to return the money, and Wei's half must be returned as well! Otherwise, I'll be exiled, and she won't be able to escape!"

"You still have the nerve to mention Wei!" Feng's old face was ferocious. She picked up the feather duster on the table and stepped forward to beat Zhang.

"what!!!"

Zhang was caught off guard and was hit several times. When she came to her senses, she pushed Feng to the ground.

Feng fell hard and sat on the ground, pointing at Zhang and cursing, "You vile whore! I was blind to hire a filthy thief like you! Over the past decade or so, you've stolen over thirty taels of silver from my Gu family!"

Feng grew increasingly angry as she spoke, struggling to get up. She hadn't asked clearly before, and had assumed it was only a small amount, but she hadn't expected it to be over thirty taels!
Glancing at the silent Lin siblings behind Zhang, Feng's eyes flashed with a fierce gleam: "If you can't pay this money, I will sell you two bastards!"

The Lin brothers and sisters are Zhang's Achilles' heel, and no one can touch them. Feng's words angered Zhang again, making her instantly furious, and she turned and went to the east wing.

When Feng saw her leave, she thought she was going to run away, so she quickly sent her son to stop her: "The money hasn't been returned yet! We can't let her go!"

Gu Lianshan didn't move. The two brothers and sisters of the Lin family were staying here, and Zhang would not run away.

Seeing that her son didn't move, Feng was so angry that she cursed him, "Useless thing!" Then she followed him out eagerly.

Seeing this, Mr. Gu hurriedly stood up and followed him two steps. When he came in front of his son, the veins on his forehead bulged and he hit his son with the crutch in his hand.

"You're the man of the house! Your wife stole so much money! She's almost emptied our Gu family!"

Gu Lianshan dodged quickly and asked with a cheeky look on his face, "I don't understand what you're saying. Of these thirty-four taels of silver, twenty-five taels belong to my daughter and have nothing to do with the Gu family!

The other nine taels were saved by my son himself and have nothing to do with the Gu family. After all, my eldest brother kept all the money he earned from copying books, and my son is learning from him. "Tell me, why did you empty the Gu family's house?"

Mr. Gu's expression froze for a moment, then he argued, "I'll ask your eldest brother to hand over the silver later! The same goes for you. Didn't your wife just say that your daughter snatched back six taels of silver from her?
If you give the silver to your mother for safekeeping and then let you be the manager, I'm afraid all the things in your house will be moved out!

"Siya, you too, hand over all the money you have. From now on, you are not allowed to hold any money in your hands until the family is divided, so as to avoid what happened today from happening again!" Gu Lianshan had known his own father's shamelessness since he was a child and was no longer surprised. Just as he was about to say something back, he heard the girl next to him scold him without any hesitation.

"Oh! This is really like a dung beetle wearing a mask - shameless! Master, are you crazy about money? Why do you only think about good things?

I would have strangled my own mother to death for taking my money. Do you think you have a bigger face than her, or do you have more faces than her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.

Gu Lianshan covered his face, thinking that the old man was probably going to be angry to death.

Sure enough, the next moment, Mr. Gu was furious and swung his crutch again, hitting Gu Tang.

Gu Lianshan's face darkened, and he immediately stepped forward to stop the man: "Dad!"

Old Master Gu's eyes widened in anger, his face flushed and his neck thickened: "Why keep such an unfilial little beast around?! Why not kill her right now and put an end to it all..."

"Gu Liansheng! Get out here!"

A hoarse and unpleasant shout suddenly came from outside, interrupting Mr. Gu's anger.

Everyone in the room was stunned, only Gu Tang laughed with glee: "My mother is going to ask my uncle for money."

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of the house and ran to watch the show.

The people in the room had different expressions on their faces, and soon they all followed him out.

When they got outside, they saw Zhang standing in the east wing like a madman, yelling and cursing, calling Gu Liansheng a coward! She also cursed Wei for being so cruel as to take away half the silver!
Finally, he made a harsh statement: the eldest wife must take half of the thirty-four pieces of silver! Otherwise, they would both perish together, and no one would get away with anything good!

Feng was almost going crazy. If she allowed Zhang to continue shouting like this, sooner or later outsiders would be attracted!

She went up to Zhang and started tearing her apart, cursing, "Shameless whore! How dare you throw dirty water on your brother! Come back to the house with me!"

If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really started fighting, the elderly Feng would not be able to defeat the young Zhang.

Zhang pushed her away swiftly, saying she was going to go out and spread the news in the village and complain to the elders.

If no one helps her, she will go to the government office to appeal for justice!

Zhang's shout shocked Feng and Mr. Gu immediately.

Feng was so scared that her face turned pale. She held Zhang tightly and refused to let her go.

Old Master Gu was also panicking and hurriedly pushed his son a few times: "Hurry up! Hurry and pull your wife back! If this really gets out to everyone, how will our family be able to show our faces in the village in the future! And your eldest brother and your nephew! They are going to take the imperial examinations!"
