Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 99: Want money? It’s impossible even in my dreams!

When Zhang saw Gu Tang being so cautious, she knew that she wanted to hide it from the two old men in the main room, and took the opportunity to sign the confession first.

She was about to ruin the plan, but her action was immediately seen through by Gu Tang, who threatened her in a low voice: "If you dare to shout, you won't be able to get any more money from me later! But you still can't escape the confession!"

Zhang froze. She was no longer willing to do it, but for the sake of the money, she had to endure it temporarily and followed Gu Tang into the west wing.

Seeing the old man sitting in the room, Zhang's face became even uglier.

She knew that this old man was Gu Lianshan's third uncle. When she married into the Gu family, she overheard this old man telling Gu Lianshan that he was no good and not a good match.

Over the years, she knew that Gu Lianshan had been secretly taking care of this old man. Every time she went to Gu Lianshan to help, she would complain to Feng, causing more discord between the mother and son.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start." The third uncle didn't look at Zhang, but only glanced at the Lin brothers and sisters, with a flash of displeasure on his face.

Although he was unhappy, Third Uncle didn't say anything and his gaze returned to the rice paper on the table.

The rice paper was weighed down with a piece of paper, and the ink was ground on the side. He dipped the pen into the ink, and after it was soaked, he first picked up the pen and wrote a few words casually on the rice paper to test the thickness of the ink.

After the test, put the written rice paper aside, lay out new rice paper, and prepare to write.

Gu Tang was standing next to Third Uncle. "Third Uncle, I told you to write it, but my mother is shy. How about I lean over and whisper it in your ear?"

Third Uncle paused, thinking that there was still some affection between mother and daughter, he sighed secretly and nodded in agreement.

Zhang's face became even darker. She opened her mouth to say something, but Lin Lang behind her pulled the corner of her clothes.

Noticing her son's actions, Zhang turned around and looked at him. Her son's face was flushed and he shook his head at her, signaling her not to speak.

Zhang pursed her lips. She understood what her son meant. Now that one more person knew about this, her son would be embarrassed. He just wanted to sign the agreement and end the matter quickly, not wanting any more trouble.

Gu Tang's side was almost finished. He wrote down the year, month and day, how much silver Zhang, together with the three generations of the Lin family, as well as Wei, stole, and then wrote how they were caught, how they confessed, and who the witnesses were. Finally, he had Zhang and his third uncle sign and put their fingerprints on it, and it was done.

After finishing writing, Gu Tang took out the vermilion ink and called Zhang over to sign and put her fingerprints on it.

Zhang stepped forward reluctantly and did not sign immediately. Instead, she picked up the confession and read it carefully for a while.

She often told others that she learned to read and write with her husband at the Lin family. In fact, her husband only taught her to write her name and the characters used in daily life, which were not many, only about a few dozen characters.

Therefore, she didn't recognize most of the words on it.

But Zhang still pretended to look at it for a while, then laughed sarcastically: "It's written clearly here, it's filled up a whole page!"

Gu Tang glanced at her in surprise, his eyes flickering slightly, deliberately irritating her: "Whoever lost the silver will remember it clearly, but the one who stole the silver will not remember it!"

Zhang was so upset by these words that she wanted to tear up the paper covered with words.

But thinking of her son, Zhang calmed down again, picked up the pen, and wrote her name on it with trembling hands.

After the ink has dried, dip your finger in the ink pad and press your fingerprint on the name.

At this point, a set of shackles fell on the mother and son. From now on, they will probably be restless and unable to have peace at any time!

Zhang's face turned pale, and she stumbled back two steps. Gu Tang smiled and took the confession and handed it to his uncle for review.

The third uncle took a look at Zhang's handwriting. Although it was not beautiful, the characters were correct. So he wrote his own name next to it and also pressed his fingerprints.

very good!

Gu Tang's face was almost blooming with smiles.

Picking up the confession, she blew on it carefully to dry all the ink on it, and finally turned her back and put it in a box.

In fact, the moment he put it in the box, Gu Tang secretly put the confession letter into the system backpack.

Something as important as this must be kept in a safe place to be at ease.
Zhang's eyes were fixed on the box. Seeing Gu Tang casually put it aside, she gritted her teeth and asked, "I have signed the confession. You tried to strangle me, broke my daughter's arm, and your father kicked my son. Let's settle it!"

As soon as these words came out, Third Uncle's face changed immediately. Is there such a thing here? Why didn't I hear what my nephew Lianshan said just now?
Glancing at his nephew, the third uncle wanted to ask him what was going on.

Gu Lianshan secretly waved his hand, indicating that he would explain it to him in detail later.

Seeing this, Third Uncle had no choice but to swallow his words and write a letter of divorce.

Glancing at Zhang, Gu Lianshan felt a little sorry for her. She was so stupid, and yet she still wanted money?

Humph! What the hell!
Gu Tang looked indifferent to Zhang's suggestion of settling the accounts. He raised his chin towards her and asked her to settle the accounts as soon as possible.

Zhang's face was grim as she recited a figure: "I'm your mother. You've got to think about strangling me. You must pay me fifty taels of silver! And my daughter's arm, who knows if it'll ever be healed again. You must pay at least twenty taels! The same goes for my son, twenty taels too! That makes a total of ninety taels! Hurry and give it to me!"

Gu Tang chuckled. "Did you hear my uncle say earlier that I sold sheep and deer and probably had over a hundred taels of silver? So you're asking me for ninety taels? If that's the case, should I thank you for leaving me ten taels?"

Zhang twitched her lips sarcastically: "After all, you are my child. You are so cruel and ruthless, but I am not a beast. I should at least consider our relationship..."

Huh——

Gu Tang pretended to retch, looking disgusted: "Don't waste the word 'relationship'!"

"You little bastard!" Zhang cursed angrily.

After cursing, she took a deep breath again. She didn't want to argue with Gu Tang at this time, so she stretched out her hand and asked Gu Tang for the silver: "Give me the silver quickly!"

"Are you stupid?" Gu Tang blinked at her, took the box beside him and clapped it a few times in his hands. "You've already signed the confession, everything is set in stone, and you still want to ask me for money?"

Zhang's head buzzed: "What do you mean by that?"

"It means exactly what it says. You want money? You can't even dream of it!" Gu Tang smiled at her, making her so angry that she saw stars.

At this time, Zhang still had everything she didn't understand. She finally realized that she had been fooled!

She was furious and looked terrifying, and she reached out to snatch the box from Gu Tang's hand!
Gu Tang cleverly took a few steps back and hid behind her father, allowing her father to stop the furious Zhang, while adding fuel to the fire and yelling.

"Now that you've signed your confession, there's no room for excuses for the theft. As soon as I deliver this paper to the government office, you'll be exiled with your two little brats!"

Lin Lang's expression changed: "You wrote the Lin family on it too?!"
