"Ha, how many years have we been married, and you’re still trying to act innocent with ?" Mrs. Chen didn’t see anything wrong with this. What couple doesn’t talk about these things? It’s not just about doing without saying.
Gu Dagui was convinced, seeing soone nearby looking over, he hurriedly used his sleeve to cover his face, making way for Mrs. Chen while saying, "Shut up, if you keep talking dirty, I’ll go back and won’t help you anymore."
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore. Hurry up, there’s still a long way to go, catch up quickly."
She whispered softly, "I’m just thinking of having another daughter for you."
Having both a son and a daughter makes a good word.
Brother Wang was almost thirteen, and if they didn’t hurry to have another child, once Brother Wang started talking about marriage in a few years, having another child would be unseemly.
Gu Dagui heard this, thought about it, and said to her, "No need to have more, having Brother Wang and Brother Fa is enough."
Mrs. Chen probably got injured from hunger while fleeing famine and hurt her body, so she wouldn’t be able to conceive in this lifeti.
Gu Dagui originally said that to comfort Mrs. Chen and didn’t want her feeling sad, but Mrs. Chen kicked him from behind, cursing, "Pah, are you looking down on my belly? Just wait, I’ll definitely give you a chubby baby by the end of the year."
Upon hearing that, Gu Dagui suddenly felt his poor old waist aching... having a kid, isn’t he the one who gets exhausted? Can he opt out?
"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up, walking so slowly. Are you sitting on eggs?" Mrs. Chen started scolding again.
Gu Dagui had no choice but to rush forward, almost exhausted when they finally caught up with Squad Leader Zhang and the others. By then they had reached the city gate, and the road was wide open. Mrs. Chen imdiately ran to Ms. Zhang’s side, took out a box with a swish, opened it and thrust it towards Ms. Zhang’s eyes, startling her wide-eyed.
Gold, all gold, God, this woman Mrs. Chen has really struck it rich.
Mrs. Chen saw Ms. Zhang looking dazed, imdiately beca arrogant, slamd the box shut, hugged it and said with a grin, "See that? That’s all mine, and this is just a fraction. My family has houses, fields, silver, it’s enough for a lifeti. Now you know how rich I am? Are you jealous? Want to co over and tear apart? But you’re restrained by the governnt officials, can’t move, hahaha~"
Mrs. Chen was outrageously smug, her laughter was grating.
Ms. Zhang’s heart was bleeding because of the lost silver. Hearing Mrs. Chen’s words, she imdiately went mad, trying to rush over to bite her. Two governnt officials hurriedly grabbed her, almost dislocating her hand to restrain her.
Mrs. Chen was also startled, hurriedly took a few steps back with the box, keeping a distance from Ms. Zhang.
But she quickly forgot her fear, not long after she tugged at her brocade dress with a smile, "Did you see? This is a brocade dress, very expensive, five taels of silver per bolt. I didn’t buy it, it was sent by Xiao Yu’s family, they gave it to for free without asking for silver. Isn’t that infuriating?"
She added, "You people were blind like dogs, why tornt Xiao Yu’s family? If you had treated them well, they are people who reciprocate kindness. Whoever treats them well, they treat them well. Now my family doesn’t have to worry about living, following Xiao Yu’s family, taking the share of profit they give, even if paralyzed we could still live in luxury."
Ms. Zhang was already highly agitated and went even more insane upon hearing that, yelling, "What did you say? Gu Jinli’s house gave your family a share of the profit?!"
A business doing millions a year, how much is one share?
Ms. Zhang lost her mind, gaining strength from who knows where, suddenly rushing over to knock down Mrs. Chen, furiously hitting her, "Bitch, hand over that share, it’s our family’s silver, it’s ours!"
Gu Dagui was shocked, hurriedly rushed over, kicked Ms. Zhang aside, and pulled Mrs. Chen up.
What’s Mrs. Chen like? She won’t let herself be beaten senselessly, she went over and clawed at Ms. Zhang’s face, scratch scratch scratch, soon making Ms. Zhang’s face a bloody ss.
The governnt officials were dazed, God, what did they just witness? Are these really won? More like two female tigers, right?
Gu Dagui hurriedly shouted at them, "Lord, quickly co here and pull Ms. Zhang away, she’s going to kill my wife!"
The governnt officials finally snapped out of it, hurriedly went to pull Ms. Zhang away, and it took half an hour to completely subdue her.
Squad Leader Zhang was close to going crazy, yelled at Gu Dagui, "Control your wife, I heard Ms. Zhang has hysteria, if she kills your wife, we’re not responsible."
Gu Dagui hurriedly apologized, "Yes, yes, Lord don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep a watch on her, sorry, causing you trouble."
Mrs. Chen got into trouble, didn’t dare shout anymore, hid behind Gu Dagui without saying a word.
Gu Dagui felt years shaved off his life, wanted to scold her but seeing her injured, couldn’t bring himself to... actually afraid she’ll settle scores with him when healed, didn’t dare scold.
"Enough, you’ve shown off plenty, let’s head back." Gu Dagui didn’t let Mrs. Chen watch the commotion further, dragged her away.
Mrs. Chen had driven Ms. Zhang mad, felt relieved, happily returned to the city, when passing by Futai Building, also used Gu Jinli’s na to grab a al.
...
Outside the Prefecture, Squad Leader Zhang and his n kept escorting Ms. Zhang and the others walking, but seeing Ms. Zhang becoming increasingly unstable, afraid she might harm people in He’an Prefecture if not sent far enough, ultimately had governnt officials return to the Prefecture, driving a carriage to take them to the next Prefecture.
They sped the whole way, until dusk when they finally kicked them out past He’an Prefecture’s borders, dumping them by a roadside in a small town.
Squad Leader Zhang warned them, "If you don’t want to die, don’t go back to He’an Prefecture. If you dare step back into He’an Prefecture, you’re waiting for execution!"
Saying so, completely ignoring Gu Chengli’s pleas, he quickly ran off with the governnt officials.
Gu Chengli couldn’t stop crying, asking Ms. Zhang, "Mother, what do we do? We don’t have silver anymore and can’t go back to He’an Prefecture to seek Uncle’s house, we’re going to die, boo-hoo-hoo..."
Ms. Zhang was close to madness, kept muttering, "Silver, share of profits, huge business, it’s ours, all ours..."
Muttered for two full hours, scaring Gu Chengli, thinking Ms. Zhang had gone insane, holding a rock hiding nearby, ready to smash Ms. Zhang with it if she went wild.
But Ms. Zhang had survived famine, endured hardships before, not so easily driven mad, beca alright after more than an hour.
However, once calm she beca even more vicious, glaring at Elder Gu and Gu Youfu, eyes fierce, wearing a grim smile.
Elder Gu and Gu Youfu were badly frightened, knowing Ms. Zhang had murder on her mind for them, wanted to scream for help, but they’d been silenced by Gu Jinli with a muzzle, unable to utter a word.
Finally, Ms. Zhang smiled at them, "You don’t need to be afraid, although I’ve lived many hard days in your Old Gu Family, I’m a good person, won’t kill you."
Elder Gu and Gu Youfu breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could fully relax, Ms. Zhang told Gu Chengli, "Chengli, our only way out now is your sister, to rise we can only find her, rely on her with the Zhan Family."
Gu Chengli’s eyes lit up hearing that, "Mother’s right, let’s find my sister, she’s clever, backed by the Zhan Family, once we find her, we can kill off Gu Dashan’s family and take over their business."
But...
"What about Father and Grandpa? How do we take them to Jinning Prefecture?"
Ms. Zhang laughed, a sinister, horrifying laugh, "Taking them obviously won’t make it to Jinning Prefecture, so we’ll have to abandon them."
